The Sequent of Hanna Ave. is the result of my re-workings of some experimental film practices and my enquiries in to the phenomena of the movement-illusionism in the film form. By combining found footage, hand processing and hi-end digital technology, I elevate a few mundane gestures to a new perceptible wholeness, and give some fat fingers and a c-cassette tape all the attention, grace and drama they deserve.

Produced in association with Waringarri Aboriginal Arts at Kununurra in Western Australia, this moving documentary features three women who talk about their paintings as an expression of their relationship to their country. The women share a sense of belonging to their place and express this belonging through dance and song and all of their artistic expressions. On a trip into the bush around Cockatoo Lagoon near Kununurra, they explain the stories of their Dreaming and of their land, and talk of their own experiences growing up as workers on stations in the area. Each artist talks about why they paint - to teach and to share stories about their country with others in the community and wider afield. The film also observes them working on paintings, each giving her personal interpretation of a loved environment and a living culture. The paintings are all very different in style but all express a life-affirming sense of identity intimately linked to their own country.

"Merchants of miracles" is a journey to the heart of Kinshasa to discover the « churches of healing’ also called the « churches of awakening » Their promises of healing incurable diseases, of obtaining a visa for the European el dorado or even of immediate prosperity attract the majority of Congolese to these churches.

The Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team—created twenty years ago to investigate forced disappearances and clandestine burials—is working in the city of Córdoba, Argentina, where a mass grave containing the remains of more than 120 people has been discovered. "The Last Confine" is a documentary about the exhumation of this grave, about those working to identify those buried there, about the hopeful search by family members, and about the story of four of them who managed to recover the remains of their loved ones after twenty-seven years of waiting.

«Whilst the greater number of our nocturnal visions are perhaps no more than faint and fantastic reflections of our waking experiences, there are still a certain remainder whose immundane and ethereal character permit of no ordinary interpretation, and whose vaguely exciting and disquieting effect suggests possible minute glimpses into a sphere of mental existence no less important than physical life, yet separated from that life by an all but impassable barrier.» H.P. Lovecraft, Beyond the Wall of Sleep OVERALL continues the project which began as ALL OVER. The creative process has become inversed since the primary material is now oil paint. The original film was painted with J. Pollock's dripping technique on a transparent film strip and then all colors were inversed in lab with a contact printer. The soundtrack was made using a signal processing environment called «Pure Data», calculating in real time the color density of the image.
