3 x 16

2007 • 9 min

These three short films consist of perceptive depictions of a public square in Lima, the view from his mother's rooftop, and work at the Toronto Film Festival revision department. The filmmaker used 16 mm as documentary format. Each film in this series is almost three-minutes long, which is the length of one roll of 16 mm film. The entire film uses in-camera editing, therefore all the editing decisions were made on location.

Adaptive Lines

2007 • 3 min

A text by Vito Acconci supported the process of this work. In “Vito Acconci on Activity”, he talks about adaptive lines of action: “A performance can consist of performing (adhering to the terms of) a particular element (a rule, a space, a previous performance, another person)…..the performance can be set up as a learning process. When the performer makes a move, the consequences of his behavior can control his next move. The use of feedback can steady and bring into unison one stage of the performance, after which can come change as new material is imported and adapted to. The performer can work as a producer; the performance pattern can be linear—a series of additions of material. And energy. Or he can work as a consumer.” –Vito Acconci, 1971

Universe of Broken Parts

2007 • 11 min

Inspired by Beat Poet Ed Dorn's assertion that a poem is a 'document,' "Universe of Broken Parts" reflects Richard Kerr's interest in the poetics of image and sound. Transitioning from a balletic dance of shadows playing basketball, to pure abstraction of shape and colour, and cresting with images of police in riot gear, UNIVERSE amalgamates Kerr's painterly and documentarian impulses into a contrapuntal, yet fluid whole.

The aviation heritage will never forget Thursday October 18th, 2007.

After two years of restoration and over 10 years of planning and persuading, Vulcan XH558 finally leapt in to the air.

Théocordis

2007 • 10 min

RemmbrMe

2007 • 11 min

Dirk De Bruyn’s eleven-minute RemmbrME (2007) is a visually engaging film that documents in a painterly fashion the numerous gaps and intersections between analogue and digital moving image manipulation. RemmbrME is a work that critically focuses on the re-shaping of the lost material that is germane to a basic cameraless direct-on-film practice and resonates important ideas concerning the increasing fusion between analogue and digital image-making in our everyday culture.
