Poster for Elsa merdelamerdelamer

2013 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Abigail Child’s short, ELSA merdelamerdelamer, is a smoky, punky and sexy chapter in the collectively made Feminist bio-drama, MamaDada about the Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, avant-garde performance artist, sculptress and poet. The Baroness travelled from Germany to Tennessee, New York to Paris, was lovers with William Carlos Williams and perhaps gave the famous urinal to Duchamp, whom she describes as her “cast-iron lover.” This brief excursion is inspired by an event that was lost in development where Man Ray and Duchamp made a film of the Baroness shaving her public hair.

Poster for Still Moving

2009 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Still Moving is one of the director’s most personal films, offering some insight into her artistic process. It is an assemblage of her father’s African collection, photographs made by Ottinger in the 1970s, footage of a theatre play based on Johann Nestroy and a rare artefact: an 8mm film document of Lil Picard’s birthday celebration—an artist who mingled with the Dadaists and Warhol’s Factory alike. It is an exhibition in the form of a film, a dedication to an adventurer father, a secret art museum, a cabinet of wonder: a whole universe on its own.

Poster for The Waiting Room

2019 · ★ 7.5 (4)

In 2017 I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I decided to film my time in waiting rooms, surgery and chemotherapy. Shot exclusively on the iPhone X, The Waiting Room is an unflinching portrait of the blood, sweat and tears of cancer treatment. At home I filmed with my teenage son, as we came to terms with how family life was transformed by a year of living with cancer. The Waiting Room challenges the cultural myths that surround this disease, putting under the microscope the language of illness. The Waiting Room documents illness from a patient’s POV, exploring what we can and what we can’t control when our bodies fail us. The Waiting Room 30 minute smartphone short was broadcast on The Guardian website as part of their documentaries strand.

2017 · ★ 0.0 (0)

A fascinating and funny mix of spot-on impressions and clever, cutting-edge comedy, from critical thinking comedian, Ian Harris. His keen grasp of science is evidenced by his satirical, skeptical take on everything from religion to global warming-deniers and beyond. Ian uses his unique point of view and an impressive array of comedic talents to deliver a thought provoking style of stand-up all his own. Considered one of "comedy's most brilliant and skeptical minds", this new comedy special from Ian Harris is truly "Extraordinary".

A suite of urban deserts scratches and cracks over and over at each screening. A breach of light opens and closes on mnemonic traces. The alternation of the film is done directly on the spot, the representation of the image is in perpetual confrontation.
