In this section I include images of films created over the last decade.
The first image is from Tangible Memory (screened at the 2022 Athens Film + Video Festival). This short film is based on conversations with (and footage of) a veteran machinist who reflects on a lifetime of working with metal. Through the sharing of memories and storytelling this brief account sheds light on the intimate, life-long relation between maker and material (and the degree to which the latter has agency). As people shape material, material also shapes people. The medium used to capture this footage (using a Bolex 16mm camera in an industrial work environment) further reinforces the significance of tools and tactility in shaping things.
The next four pictures are from the short film, Sand, which was screened as part of the 2019 Hispanic Culture Film Festival in St. Augustine, Florida. Footage was shot in southern Spain and the Alberta Badlands.
The film, Emptiness (final picture) toured as part of Prairie Tales 9.
