Reflexos do Passado
Foley Artist
After ten years absence Toni, Chris's best friend, suddenly reappears in London to bring chaos and doubt into Chris's calm, tranquil, slightly boring, predictable life. Chris starts to remember his carefree youth as a photographer in Paris when he lived with and enjoyed a torrid affair with Annick. It was also in Paris that he first met and fell in love with Marion. The temptations and pressure exerted on Chris by Toni to return to their former carefree life of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll soon starts to have an impact on Chris's marriage. He starts to question his values, his lifestyle choices and his relationship with Marion and even suspects her of starting an affair with Toni whom she dislikes! Eventually circumstances come to a head and Chris is forced to decide whether to follow Toni back to the hedonistic, irresponsible life of his youth or face the harsh realities of the present and stay with Marion.
Everybody's Nobody
Director
Starring Lacey as the Mobile Absurd Non-entity, aka M.A.N. – a “synchronized, pressurized, energized, moisturized moron” – this angry, Goon-like film rips apart the factory-produced, ‘ideal home’-type lifestyle aggressively marketed in the post-war era with playful, witty panache.
Agib and Agab
Director
Free-form and anarchic in a very English way, this elaborate, gothic, handmade production was based on a tale from the ARABIAN NIGHTS and looks forward to FLAMING CREATURES and other underground movies from the 60s that merge lush fantasy with grimy reality. Art director Bruce Lacey stars as the ghoulish witch doctor who brings a dead body back to life.
Head in Shadow
Director
A highly impressionistic film in which a blind man (Lacey) drifts through the war-damaged streets of Camden and Islington.
