Letters

A poem of light, speed and memory, formed through an interrogation of film material and structure, exploring the movement of light as music, text and body language.
Letters is composed of contrasting sequences of abstract hand-painted film and live photography, manipulated frame-by-frame through extensive editing and optical printing processes.
The film draws on a number of influences including the cut-ups of William Burroughs and flicker films of Tony Conrad and Paul Sharits .
Funded by Scottish Screen, Glasgow City Council and The Foundation for Sport and the Arts.
Screenings include: Edinburgh International Film Festival, Dundee Contemporary Arts, Ann Arbor Film Festival, Images Festival, Telluride International Experimental Cinema Exposition, Rencontres Internationales Paris Berlin, Cinema Differents Paris, The Lighthouse, Glasgow
