Letters
“Letters” explores the transformation of painting through photography and the movement of light as music, text and body language. Formed through a combination of abstract hand-painted film and live photography, originated on super 8mm and 16mm, ‘Letters’ uses extensive optical printing and single-frame editing techniques to draw the material and structural properties of film into focus and create a sense of rhythm, gravity, weight and mass.

ten thousand dreams

Vanauley Project, The
Cinema circa 1895 as it was with Louis Lumière… Four single-shot vignettes photographed with a vintage hand-cranked 35mm movie camera. These are the first in a series of 35mm observational films created without the assistance of a motion picture laboratory. Hand-processed and printed by the filmmaker, the project acts as an anthropological document of a neighbourhood in transition while celebrating the textural beauty and analog simplicity of early motion picture technology.
