Recently Added Titles in Catalogue:
Hum of the Blue Hive (dir. Roewan Crowe)
Enter into the poetic, pixelated world of hum of the blue hive. Inspired by Derek Jarman’s experimental film Blue, join the narrator V as they fall into a wonderous, multispecies, multisensory world, accompanied by the sounds of dreams falling apart and liveliness in the garden. After being in the presence of the borage plant at every stage of its life to watch it sprout, grow, bud, bloom, seed itself and die; and to watch the humble bumble bee release pollen; V. comes to explore queer biomimicry for vegetal relations; co-becoming, entangled in pleasingly strange encounters. Entranced by the soundscape, the artist makes oddkin with the borage plant, a bumblebee, and Jarman who has asked similar questions, thought similar thoughts, wondered similar wonder in the space of their garden. Transformed through the mesmerizing hum of the blue hive, V. embodies her desire to be unbearably, impossibly, close to the borage plant, the bumble bee, and Jarman.
Freight (dir. Lawrence Bird)Â
Trains crisscrossing the continent bear goods and materials from field to port; but they carry messages too. Captured furtively in a rainstorm, this film explores those signals as symbols, surfaces, textures. Like Elizabeth Cotten's "Freight Train" manipulated to create this film’s soundtrack, we might imagine what a freight train is, where it goes and what it might carry with it.
