On Edge + Mark Twain

Two films on one reel.
On Edge (5 minutes) documents the space around/up against the roof of a small factory. The need to take a shaky/physically awkward position for photography leads to random appearances, along lower frame edges, of fragments of the roof edge. The exercising of an a priori decision to break and make splices at these points. Apparent emptiness of the frame (no frame is empty) places emphasis on films’ normal infrastructure of scratches, dirt, splices, grain, etc.
Mark Twain (3 minutes): Splice and image coming together to ‘test the water’.
