According to filmmaker Stephanie Barber, "This is probably the most heartbreaking film I have made." The pacing is romantic and simple, haiku-esque pauses and inclusions, with the words contrasting this poetry with their factual, disinterested narration. And that narration is a simple statement of failure; one which lies not in any action but in the pre-thought to that action, the hope or faith one holds in oneself, one's knowledge or abilities.

Camel Trophy 1998 - Tierra del Fuego

1998 • 59 min
From the bustling metropolis of Santiago, capital of Chile, the forty competitors from twenty countries headed south on their three week South American adventure in what proved to be the most enjoyable and challenging Camel Trophy ever. In 1997 criss-crossing between Chile and Argentina through the Andean mountains, the spine of South America, teams had to contend with sub zero temperatures, deep snow and ice in their Land Rover Freelanders. Teams met for fun and relaxation at three points along the way where they climbed active volcano Villarica, rafted the whitewater on the world famous Rio Futaleufu and kayaked amongst turquoise icebergs at Torres del Paine. After three weeks the teams arrived in Ushuaia, southernmost city in the world, on the island of Tierra del Fuego
Titanic: The Captain of the Titanic

Titanic: The Captain of the Titanic

1998 • 55 min • United Kingdom
"The Titanic is still news nearly a century after the world’s finest and largest ship struck an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage in April, 1912. The events of that fateful voyage are told through dramatised contemporary accounts. These are enhanced by an extensive interview with survivor Eva Hart MBE, who was a girl of seven at the time. This is not only the story of a great tragedy, but also of Edward John Smith a potter’s son who rose from the backstreets of Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, to become the premier sea captain of his day. Don Smith shows us some of Captain Smith’s possessions, handed down through the family. It is also the story of how such a terrible disaster can be turned into something of national pride by the press of the day. Pride in a captain and crew who could uphold the great traditions of the sea captured in Captain Smith’s last call from the bridge of the doomed ship. Be British!."

Tito-Material

Tito-Material

1998 • 6 min • Austria
Found material: film images which show Tito in diverse contexts, at public affairs, with the Partisans, in "private" while shaving, etc. Place of discovery: a destroyed cinema in Mostar, Bosnia in 1996. The film construction, created at the optical printer, is of course also a counter concept to the more narrative models: the marks of war are not primarily made visible on the representational level, but more through the damage done to the film material itself from rubble and dampness, but also through the film´s editing.
