Sweet Oranges
Nora Sweeney 18' 23'' / 2014 / Usa / 16mm / documentary Heading west from my house, I explore the back roads off of California State Route 126, finding small, historic towns, farms, and railway tracks nestled between mountains and orchards - a landscape that evokes a dream of California’s past. It resembles what migrant workers might have envisioned when traveling west in search of work in the 1930s, a vibrant, fertile promised land. This migration continues. In an orange grove, I meet Jaime, Blanca, and Hugo, a group of orange pickers from Michoacán, Mexico, who share with me their songs, dreams, aspirations, and thoughts about work. |

Gleanings
Atoosa Pour Hosseini 8' / 2017 / Ireland / Super8 / exp Super-8 memories emerge and vanish into the imageless texture of scratched celluloid, an object at once very present and channelling long absent moments of ambiguity. A soldier allows a little girl to handle a gun, a machine like the camera that links a calm present with war and death. But who is watching this film? Whose footsteps are pacing? Who is invading and appropriating these memories? |
Atoosa Pour Hosseini (b. Tehran, Iran 1981) is an artist-filmmaker based in Dublin, Ireland.
Her work, which is influenced by historical avant-garde cinema, explores questions about illusion, reality, and perception through the media of film, video, installation and performance art. She works with the material textures of 8mm film as well as digital processes to explore layers of space and time, superimposing imagery and creating entrancing patterns of repetition with startling interruptions. |

Kaygi/ Anxiety
muge yildiz 3' 17'' / 2016 / Turkey / super8 / experimental Life goes on. And we are always like images in this life. When I was looking for my own existence in the streets, in the city that I live in, I found only one thing and that was just a feeling. And this feeling has been just an anxiety. This has been a part of my daily life, confronted me with mundane images that I encounter everyday. As an image, myself, was involved in mundaneness. I had only one chance and that was to be able to choose a companion; the poems of Henri Michaux (Waiting, Small, Cursed, A Lost Man). I read them and added them to the noise music I made. |

Farewell Transmission
Mike Rollo 14' 05'' / 2017 / Canada / exp - documentary The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation opened the doors of the CBK Transmitter Station in 1939 to serve the prairie region of Canada. Farewell Transmission is equal parts an indexical record of the demolition of CBK in 2015 and a subjective response to the residual media documenting the event. The building is framed with tension preceding its destruction: emulsion pulsates as if with decades of radio transmission, creating an unsettled eulogy for a cultural institution. |
Mike Rollo’s work explores alternative approaches to documentary cinema — methods which thematize vanishing cultures and transitional spaces through references to memory, history, religion, and autobiography. Mike is a Lecturer of film production at the University of Regina.
