Cry When It Happens
Llora cuando te pase
A kind of uplifting melancholy permeates Cry When It Happens. A visual voyage of discovery is coloured by love’s haze. The small portable television with its subdued overcast skies functions as a recurring theme in an emotionally charged landscape. May it never end.

-
In the Absence of Light, Darkness Prevails
Eclectic hotpot shot in an overheated Brazil. People are oppressed, baby turtles swim out to sea and our culture decays. -
Rayning
How pure light can break through black-and-white emulsion and reach the retina. ‘Light rayns-rains-reigns across a dream of tranquility.’ -
Shutter
Shutter tracks the rising sun, the lengthening shadows and the darkening day of a total solar eclipse. -
This Is Not Dying
Colour separation and Ben Tawhiti’s whistling, humming and pedal steel allow Nova Paul’s marae to defy rules of time and space. -
Garden
Patterns of grasses, trees and flowers meld, accompanied by the rousing music of Japanese experimental jazz band the Samurai Jazz Quintet. -
Ouverture
Camera improvisation in Cinemascope transforms the meagre light in an old Normandy shed into an abstract kinetic light show. -
Ville Marie
The point of view of a person falling from the top of a high-rise building. Shot on Super-8 and beautifully mastered with optical printing techniques.
