7 Ways To Tell You About Him

Director: Whitehall
Canada, 2019, 5’, HDD, Color
English with Turkish Subtitles

7 Ways to Tell You About Him is a collaboration between a father and daughter that negotiates the interplay between family home movies with production footage to interrogate the similarities found within their cinematography. 

The scripted narration presents 7 observations of my Dad's 8mm footage placed alongside my camera work to decipher more about him through his use of the camera and his cinematic eye. The minimal sound design provides a hint of mood - the voice narration was created to mimic performance to lend an ethereal quality to the read.

Alice's Four Stories 

Director: Myriam Jacob-Allard
Canada, 2020, 5’ 45’’, HDD, Color
English with Turkish Subtitles 

Myriam Jacob-Allard explore a story which, because of its persistence, is part of the family lore. This story, told countless times by her grandmother, is an implausible tale of the time a hurricane worthy of The Wizard of Oz, when she was a child, picked her up and sent her flying.

The Bearers of Memories

Director: Miglė Križinauskaitė-Bernotienė
Lithuania, 2020, 13’ 17’’, HDD, Color
Lithuanian with English, Turkish Subtitles 

With every moment - one more memory. But memory sometimes goes blind and what is left becomes hazy.

The Expo Film

Director: Penny McCann
Canada, 2020, 10’, HDD, Color
English with Turkish Subtitles 

Using anonymous home movie footage of Expo ’67 in Montreal, the artist sets out to recreate a memory that perhaps never existed. Celluloid manipulation and sound decay techniques coalesce to transform a mythic landscape into a sublime expanse of disintegrated memory. Sound design by Edmund Eagan. 

Top Down Memory

Director: Daniel Theiler
Germany, 2020, 12’ 20’’, HDD, Color
English, German, Italian with Turkish, English Subtitles

The film deals with the manipulation of history in the context of the reconstruction of the Berlin City  Palace. Starting from the confusions surrounding an alledged proclamation of a socialist republic from  one of its balconies in 1918, the film examines other political events that occurred on balconies.  Reenactments of iconic political and cultural events on the original balcony raise questions about  authenticity and manipulation.

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
