Miles and Yves, Indre
This is a portrait film of Miles McKane, one of the original co-founders of Light Cone and Scratch Projection, with his husband, Yves Gloaguen, in their home in Indre. I have known Miles since 1985, when I first screened with Scratch Projection and began distributing my films with Light Cone. This film portrays Miles and Yves in their eclectic home and garden. The home physically reveals layers of its history, while the garden is reminiscent of gardens across the channel, in Wales.

Baby Dream II
Director
The projected image is constructed from deteriorated colour film (old loops from the the installation Little Girl), the agitated rhythm of the movements of colour and form underscore the movement of the spectator and the rapid eye movement. To renforce the movement the film was edited in a series of mirco-loops, similar material was assembled to create a sense of progresssion and familiarity with the image, brief passages of figurative material were kept as a sort of visual conterpoint to the flow of the abstract colour sections. This duality of material seems to change the speed of the images we percieve a double dynamic dynamics produced within the same material.

Paysage Natal
Director
Paysage Natal is a confrontation between a film-maker and the country where he was born. It is also a way of recording with the camera as much information (psychological / emotional) on places once familiar, without contracting a "diary".

Miles
"It is above all a portrait of Miles McKane. Making a portrait, shooting a portrait are all modes of perpetuating/appropriating a person's image. Could a cinematographic portrait escape this rule?" -YB
