A Distant Episode, 2015
Black and White, 16 mm anamorphic. Sound: Mono. 20 minutes

A meditation on the illusion of filmmaking, shot behind-the-scenes on a film being made on the otherworldly beaches of Sidi Ifni, Morocco. The film depicts strange activities, with no commentary or dialogue. It appears as a fragment of film, dug up in a distant future - a hazy, black and white, hallucinogenic world.
Festivals include:
