Colour Out of Space 2011
Film / Live Cinema



Film-makers! Thankyou for your submissions!


Saturday 12th November at the Sallis Benney Theatre from 1pm - 4pm

Sally Golding (AU)
Golding is a film performance artist, curator and audiovisual archivist - her work blurring the boundaries of moving image, live art and visual hallucination. Using 16mm technologies and photographic darkroom processes she deconstructs cinematic materials and apparatus, slipping between materialist investigation, sculptural forms and bodily intervention. Cracked cinema for darkroom compositions, light bleed, contorted projection sports, dismembered narrative, whimsical instructional and wanton optics. Golding will perform Psycho Subtropo.

Blue Yodel (UK)
A rare audio/visual performance from Blue Yodel - the solo output of Fiona Kennedy - member of Sheffield’s esoteric junk freeformers Hunter Gracchus and co-founder of the Singing Knives label. Extreme body soundings and vocal micro particles that conflate electric and organic sources - unpredictable and convulsive - creating disturbed psychic territories.

Jeff Keen / Deep Kiss 720 / Stella Keen (UK)
Recycled sonic collages drawn from tapes sped up and cut down, TV samples, screams, deconstructed riffs - long time Jeff Keen collaborator Jason Williams / Deepkiss 720 provides the perfect accompaniment to the veteran experimental filmmaker’s frenetic split-screen pulp animations. All now with extra sax from Keen’s daughter Stella.

Light Support Systems
Ian Helliwell UK 2010 6 min
Helliwell is an artist-filmmaker-musician based in Brighton. Having begun intuitively at the start of the 1990s, he has experimented with a range of techniques for creating images directly onto super 8 film. His work is distinctive, if not unique in that he also designs and builds his own electronic instruments – Hellitrons and Hellisizers – which he uses to make all the soundtracks of his films. Light Support Systems is an expanded multi-screen film for up to 5 projectors with a combination of super 8, slides and video. All the images which were shot with super 8, are derived from lighting equipment designed for discotheques, and form a constantly shifting array of colours. The slides contain film strips which are given an element of movement with colour wheels – the whole multi-projector environment being a combination of light, motion, colour, with electronic sound.Helliwell's documentary 'Practical Electronica' is touring now.

The Story of Thomas Edison (Aaron Zeghers Can 5 mins)
Aaron Zeghers is a filmmaker and musician from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He resurrects and experiments with largely-abandoned filmmaking methods such as optical printing and usually adopts a very hands-on attitude to filmmaking. Aaron experiments technically with Super 8 and 16mm, pushing the boundaries of film image by adopting both filmic and digital techniques. But with his films he also tells very personal and impacting stories, in large part through his soundtracks. In creating the soundtrack for his films he uses original and found sound clips and music to create a Lipsett-like montage of sound bites. In The Story of Thomas Edison he explores his personal relationship with the famous inverter at the same time as he creates a libellous biography of him.

Bodily Heavens (Stephanie Wuertz USA 4.55 min)
Stephanie Wuertz is an audiovisual artist based in New York working in a wide range of media both appropriated and original. She is interested in the intersections between art, technology, and science. Bodily Heavens, is the first in a series of works created under a microscope, using a single slide of microscopic imagery re-photographed at varying positions and levels of magnification that immerse the viewer in a world that seems both macro- and microcosmic, human and anti-human. The soundtrack is a collage of low frequency radio signals, scratching records and the ambient sounds found in caves, public pools and amusement parks manipulated using an audio cassette recorder.

Dirk de Bruyn (AU)

Live De Bruyn’s anarchic multi projection performances can involve performance, freeform vocal workouts and De Bruyn, ‘bent over and mouthing into a microphone like a demented seagull, totally involved in the relentlessly unravelling collage of home-processed footage’.Penny Webb.

Walking From Sala to Tims (Clint Enns Can 2010 5 min)
'Walking from Sals to Tims is such a sizeable challenge that anyone who undertakes it must have a very good reason. I was motivated mostly by a longing for decent coffee. I wanted to become healthy after eating an unhealthy but fabulous tasting meal. I succeeded in walking over 100 blocks to Tims, taking the back roads, all on foot, with no Segways or bicycles used. Hourly, i put stretches of pot-holes behind me. I saw many beautiful landscapes, met friendly people, socialist workers, and here and there the occasional milksop whiner. I got along well with all of them, and had good conversations. I must say that people in this city are generally pretty strange.' Enns
"My favourite Canadian film of all time!" - Guy Maddin

I’ll Raise You Like A Mother (Violaine Bergoin UK 8min)
'This piece is a reconstitution of a precise moment of my life, as a 8 year old, during an everyday family dinner and the broadcasting of the Ceausescu couple being trialled and executed. When Elena Ceausescu cried for her life, screaming to the guards taking her "I'll raise you all like a mother", which was then dubbed in French, my heart stopped and these words have been haunting me ever since and has been bringing impressions of déjà- vu until now. Today it has become a banality to watch upheavals, wars, famines, executions, genocides at 8 o'clock news within a familial structure. Yet the conflicts in this world may reflect our disabilities to communicate which results in decaying relationships. Maybe wars start within families first and expand to massive proportions.' Bergoin
