The film program

by Alex Hetherington, 8 Apr 2008

Today I stitched together the film program for the High Rise Cinemas project, bringing in the first works that we are screening; a full announcement will be made very soon. But for a PARS exclusive, the reel will include pieces from Maya Deren, Brigid McCleer, Morag Keil, Carlo Sansolo, Richard O’Sullivan, Kate V. Robertson, popup films, Laura Wilson. More of the program soon.

The reel is silent, ambient noise will create unexpected insertions, soundtracks, noise, and we think we have brought together a body of work that will look at the built environment, the natural environment and commingled work, footage and images that express a tension between public and private activities, it also mirrors and reveals further abrasions within relationships explored in the show Meddle with the Devil and especially codes of value and connections to the press. And of course nobody can see it except the residents of the high flats, so in a way you’ll have to take our word for it. So I feel it achieves a very public/private sensibility. More soon. Please stand by.
