Lost and Refound

We’re doffing our cap to one of this year’s guests, Bill Morrison with this selection of shorts, all of which have been made by appropriating, reworking, and sampling archive and found footage.

We’re doffing our cap to one of this year’s guests, Bill Morrison (see The Great Flood) with this selection of shorts, all of which have been made by appropriating, reworking, and sampling archive and found footage. Hannes Vartiainen & Pekka Veikkolainen’s documentary Emergency Calls takes genuine recordings of phone calls to the Finnish emergency services, and weaves the images through the audio to powerful effect. Birmingham-based collective Sellotape Cinema use a recording from a found cassette tape from 1977 as the basis for their short TOHO (they’ll also be showing off their hand-crafted sellotape projectors on opening night), and with Antoni Pinent’s G/R/E/A/S/E, you’ll see Olivia and John in a whole new light.
