Experimenting with 'light silhouettes' - aka washing out the projection with a bright light, and 'revealing' the projection where light is blocked off by the performers shadow.

Some early transparent screen testing. Always magic how the screen just fades away - when there's a character lit behind it..

Some projection design and animation from last year. Theatre + dance video work is always so time-pressured😅, but satisfying in how it comes together.

Ursula Le Guin: “The shift from denial of injustice to recognition of injustice can’t be unmade.... Once you see the injustice, you can never again in good faith deny the oppression and defend the oppressor. What was loyalty is now betrayal. From now on, if you don’t resist, you collude.”

“a quiet miracle of a film” is a pretty rave review!

“Israel’s killing of journalists another war crime to ‘erase genocidal crimes’

The Government Media Office in Gaza has confirmed that the Deliberate Killing of Five Al Jazeera staff has brought the TOTAL NUMBER OF JOURNALISTS KILLED BY ISRAEL SINCE THE START OF THE WAR TO 237 PEOPLE.”

“The natural state of the football fan is bitter disappointment, no matter what the score,” - Nick Hornby. I’m not quite in the swamps, as Nick (We’ve had a decent few seasons in a row, and even a few decent transfer seasons), but who knows what this years emo-rollercoaster will bring? 🫣

SELF-PORTRAIT AS A COFFEE POT | Official Trailer | Now Streaming YouTube video by MUBI

This series is so gorgeously made, so full of visual ideas, and is so generously reflective about William's practice. Full of creative provocations, can't recommend enough.

Actually - that trailer is terrible🤣 - conveys nothing of the tone and vibe of the film.. mustve given it to some 80s action trailer editor - its more in the tone of Paris, Texas, than what they've cut here ...
