  • Maverick

    “Maverick” is a meta-film. Part lucid dream, part manifesto and part autobiography; the film is an affirmation of the power of film flicker. Embracing the potential of an indeterminate process this Super 8 film has been entirely hand-processed, experimenting with alternative chemical process to achieve unique and unpredictable images. The films visual dialogue implies that these are not “special effects” but rather the mediums main mode of expression.

  • My clothes were dragging me back

    In “My clothes were dragging me back”, I have continued to work with Delia Derbyshire’s radio show for the BBC: ”Inventions for Radio: Dreams” (1964). The stories, which are about being chased and awkward situations, are combined with found footage from a 1968 educational film about a school in Toronto that embraced various types of pedagogical practice. Short edits of children in different states of mind are repeated, like a pickup on a turntable stuck on a track. A superimposed image, a kaleidoscope moves quickly and serves as a white noise on these portraits.
