Imaginary

Imaginary is a film in three parts (From Today, Touched and One) shot in varying intimate and personal environments. Fleeting images are re-filmed and stylised in an unsentimental manner.

Looking for the Moon

Tentative gestures of hands and body become symbolic of opposing emotions involved in closeness to one person, trust – the need to escape. Actions merge into one continual unresolved movement.

Hide & Seek

Beautiful slowed down images, often framed through doors and windows, offer a metaphorical and lyrical journey of discovery through memory. The silent images of childhood memories contrast with room interiors and windows. The seemingly innocent nature of the children at play is threatened by the haunting sounds of their voices over the interior spaces.

Message From Budapest

A poetic and ironic tribute to the city of Budapest using footage filmed on the Mayday worker Festival and archival photographs from the turn of the century. A celebration of the city akin to the city ‘symphonies’ of the 20’s and 30’s with the iconography of the old Eastern Europe, its architecture, trams and its people set in a series of fleeting glimpses and rhythmical paces.
