The After Life

2007 • 6 min

“I made The After Life using images out of a tiny mini-camcorder called a Flip that I bought on amazon.com for $98.00. All I did with the material was work with arrangements of frames along a timeline to setup what Eisenstein called “collisions” (for him a colliding of shots, for me, a colliding of frames). On rare occasions, Eisenstein substituted the word “copulation” for the word “collision” in describing the dynamics of his montage theory. In The After Life, it’s all copulation all the time. Bodies attract, bodies intersect and new creatures stream forth. In The After Life uninhibited promiscuity is what makes the world go round. It can’t be all bad.” (FW)

Comme un chien

2007 • 27 min

"The medium is simply a technical and conceptual means of enacting specific ideas. For example, if I were to represent a guy floating in a swimming pool, I wouldn’t do it with a drawing. I would choose film and I would use French fries and a soccer ball to make his face." – Anne-Marie Schneider

Prison Festival

2007 • 3 min

Underground cult film by Saruyama Norihiro. Octopus or human? Due to close-up photography followed by a huge amount of shortcuts, the two subjects overlap and confuse in the film and can no longer be distinguished. The eerie image creates an extremely grotesque world that invites curiosity like a freak show. "Prison Festival" (1996-2006)

Paddington Collaboration

2007 • 3 min

‘ Paddington Collaboration ’ was shot on 16mm film one morning in and around a flat in Paddington , London. Inspired by a history of formal film experiments the artists imposed a structure with each controlling roughly half of the content. Fowler drew from classic ‘room films’ to document a journey from the interior of the upstairs flat to the front door of the building. McLauchlan then explored the surrounding area, following this exploration with shots of Fowler in front of the places he had previously captured. Fowler asked McLauchlan to draw over the first half of the film, instead she wrote about the events of that morning, a text that then forms the sound track. The narrative reveals the physical and temporal structures that guide this collaboration , together with those that shape expectations of what it means to contribute to this type of film.

Strong Men Of Nguiu

2007 • 24 min • Australia

The problems that confront the remote communities on the Tiwi Islands of the Torres Strait are similar to those that confront young people everywhere – but isolation and a lack of things to do make the young people of these communities particularly vulnerable to crime and substance abuse. The "strong men" of the community is a group determined to solve the problem themselves, by offering positive role models and beneficial activities to the young people. In this documentary, we see these leaders take young people away from the township to experience traditional hunting and living, and to hear the stories of their elders.
