Another Horizon
The horizon, where the sky and the earth meet, is always elsewhere, a promised place where these two elements come together. a metaphor, an orienting, a promise of transition, change, transcendence. a place where the corporeal and spiritual meet, or are cleaved apart. Also, here, the space between narrative and documentary, fact and fiction, is scratched between two voices. Jayne love reads a text i wrote for her, short sentences on the concept of the horizon and the briefest suggestion of narrative collide with pieces of Richard (Oswan) Williams' beautiful, rum-fueled living room sermons to me.

Death of Darkness
The solidarity of the North Kenyan community and the way they align with nature’s rhythm moved us. In this honest film you can see the major changes brought about by the transition from darkness to electric light. We Westerners take it all for granted and don't know it any other way, but in Kenya the "death of darkness" brings lots of expectations, hope and struggles.
Poème fantôme
In a strange and haunted setting, verses are lost, like an echo that nobody can seem to hear. The grainy, blurry images shot with the Super 8 camera and a soundtrack seeming to come from the far ends of the universe give the words of Laurence Olivier the feeling of some alien poem. As if the Other – ghosts or beings from another world – could also be transported by love and loss, by the impoverishment of the imagination and the transience of the material world. The invisible presence of ghosts seems to have found a witness here.
Cracks
Graffiti appears where the city or society cracks — so argue the St. Petersburg graffiti artist Max Ima and his friends, who are tired of hiding their faces. Together they form one of the best graffiti scenes in Russia, and they have something to say.

People fall into water. Seen from underneath the surface of a lake, those men and women, fully dressed in office attire, move around trying to find orientation while following and bumping into each other.

They are submerged in an environment which is removed from our daily reality associating sparkling fairy-tale dreams and horrible visions of drowning at the same time.
