The Death of Natural Language

2007 • 3 min

The Death of Natural Language is an ascii animation of a plane crashing into the ground which provides a poetic illustration of how people have lost the ability to express themselves eloquently. Furthermore, the abstracted image mediated by ascii text parallels modern human communication; meaning is often lost or misinterpreted by the process. The music is miko by the beans.

Prague Winter

2007 • 8 min

So part of what's so surprising about Prague Winter is that it feels so lived in, so thoroughly grounded. It's not so much that Jennings makes Prague look like Manhattan (although there are commonalities in terms of architecture and the gaps of light between it). But the film restricts itself to sights on and around the tram, which provides an uncharacteristic linearity to the film. What's more, Jennings' status as a guest observer seems to bring out a humanism in his work, as he fixates on the elderly and, implicitly, the history to which they've been subjected. The post-Communist malaise hardens into grim acceptance, and this, along with the physical traces of Prague's history as manifested in the built environment, is what fascinates Jennings here. His camera is tender and unobtrusive, as you would expect from a filmmaker of his sensitivity.

Nightstill

2007 • 9 min • Austria

Contributed by brittle sounds, clouds as a hasty swarm over peaks. Behind windows, lights flash like Morse characters. Gondolas hiss past like flying objects. People are like phantoms in the snow. The moon rises, glows, crashes, disappears and always goes up again. (Isabella Reicher)

I Dreamt of Flying

2007 • 4 min

'I Dreamt of Flying' is a mixed media documentary, combining hand-drawn illustration with archive material. The piece focuses on the crews of Bomber Command who sacrificed their lives in the skies to help end World War II. My intention was to illustrate the distinct contrasts between the heroic and romanticised perceptions of the R.A.F and the brutal and terrifying realities so many young airmen faced night after night. The film is a tribute to those men who risked their lives and to my grandfather; an RAF tail-gunner 1943-44.
