Director

Brown Bag
Director
While unpacking some long-forgotten boxes in his studio during COVID, he came across a brown paper bag filled with exposed Super-8 film cassettes and, naturally, sent them out to be developed and digitised. ‘When the material returned it turned out to be mostly skate footage from the mid-90s in New York,’ Marcopoulos said. ‘The film had sat in that bag for almost 25 years; a true time capsule.’
Where The Wind Blows
Director
A highly personal portrait of the late Craig Kelly. The film is a non-linear sequence of short films. It's a cinematic poem about a close friend of the filmmaker.
