  • From Nevis To

    “From Nevis To” is a seven-minute docu-drama that deals with Juliet Jones, a new arrival to Canada. From her arrival to the airport to her ride to the hotel room, many thoughts about her past, present and her future surround her. She tells of what her life was like in her home country, Nevis in the West Indies, what she had heard about her new country, and the family and lifestyle that she leaves behind. We hear her thoughts in voice over and we see her coming up against and interacting with her new environment, which bears little resemblance to…

    A poetic, flowing Heart dances with ease day and night. A busy, curious Mind sets off on a journey to learn to dance as rhythmically and as elegantly as Heart.

  • Running In O&R

    Running In O&R occupies the conjunction of three crucial arts of the 1970s: performance art, experimental dance, and independent filmmaking. Running In O&R started as a performance piece for Missing Associates, Dudar’s partnership with dancer/choreographer Lily Eng. This film was shot at the original location of the Centre for Experimental Art and Communication (CEAC), the city’s ”largest and most avant-garde” international art gallery. In Running In O&R, the performers run laps around the gallery space, keeping in step and using their natural strides. Consequently they go in and out of phase visually, as other complexities emerge. The establishing wide shot…

  • Anything is Everything

    Anything is Everything is composed of sequences of disparate footage, but with threads to follow, a web on interconnections: circular shapes from outer and terrestrial space; animals and humans; words and ideas. Stuttering, flickering, blinks and blanks set bits of time and space next to each other – seeing connections from the traces. As with most of Sternberg’s films, Anything is Everything considers the questions: what is life, how do we perceive it, how as humans are we a part of the world?
