Películas

Wood and Metal Bars

Director

A meditative journey through colour, form and sound. This film was created for Toronto chamber music composer Frank Horvat. The composition is performed by Canadian percussionist Beverley Johnston. The animation is created by painting ink directly onto 16mm film.

Twilight

Director

An exploration of the relationship between sound and picture inspired by the two lights (twi-light) found inside film projectors.

Sailor's Grave

Director

The horrors of a shipwreck, the bells of aforgotten lighthouse and the coming and going of the tides surround a tale about the sea. 'Sailor’s Grave' is the result of a workshop based on a work method taking its inspiration from the exquisite corpse game, a mechanism of collective creation where the participants manipulate and transform one another's drawings to construct an intuitive, improvised narration.

1:1

Director

This cameraless animation is about the 1:1 relationship between sound & picture: the 1:1 concept became the structure for the entire piece and spawns further thought about relationships between elements in cinema (artist to medium, viewer to screen, projector to film).

Sea Song

Director

This animated film flows through a vibrant underwater landscape, shown at night time. Sound and picture are drawn directly on film - cameraless animation.

Linear Dreams

Director

The sound of a heartbeat pumps life into Linear Dreams, a scratch animation film that moves from the simple lines of the unconscious to representational realism.
