A clever little film where a camera is placed on the conveyor belt in a sushi restaurant. Seen at Reubenmiller.
By the way, I'm thinking up ideas for an alternative Christmas tree for Aspex gallery, any ideas, feel free to let me know.
Really enjoying this superb video and the equally superb band playing. Seem to be so busy at the moment, with various projects getting off the ground and some exciting news about work. I'm enjoying this time, working with some people with a great sense of their own abilities, extraordinarily generous with their time and immensely encouraging.
Fireworks in the sky all around me as I type, and possibilities are endless.
So called in order to give the audience a little chance to rest between dialogues, this footage is has been put together from Ozu's films. It's serene and peaceful, I love the movement and the detail in the shots. He often takes the alternative shot, displacing the usual view.
We watched Claire Denis' beautiful film 35 Shot of Rum last night, and it was Ozu influenced, an intimate portrait of a broken family, a widowed father and his daughter. The shots of the trains talk about systems, links, journeys and routine. I love that school of film making which is about reading people, talking about how we interact with each other, how we live through our relationships. There are so many observed moments, dispassionate and yet intimate. I loved it. I love the pace of Claire Denis' film making, everything unfurls slowly, a mystery and a journey. If you're not familiar with her work, I would recommend Beau Travail.
Some really good ideas make you slap your forehead and go "duh, why didn't anyone think of that before?"
Beautiful film using a John Lennon radio interview, directed by designer Anthony Burrill. It's such a pleasure hearing John talk, and I love the shots of the roberts radio, honestly, go and get one.
Had a lovely ride out with Neil, Charlie and Emil on the back, joined in the fun of around a hundred cyclists riding an eight mile stretch along the seafront and through Southsea. Some photos here and a link to the Strong Island website, where you can find a few more films and photos of the event. A great website, fast becoming the best way to find out what's happening in Pompey. www.strong-island.co.uk
