Gibraltar Point (transformed)

2017/6:07/experimental

16mm transferred to digital/stereo

Distributor: CFMDC

Erratic flashes of light spark across a flickering expanse of water and sky. The image can't be contained as light and debris spill outside the frame. The random alchemy of hand-processing techniques creates a landscape that transcends the observable, edging into the sublime.

The ninth work in an ongoing series of poetic landscape films. Gibraltar Point (transformed) was created during a residency at Artscape Gibraltar Point on Toronto Island. Shot on black and white 16mm film, hand-processed, then transferred digitally with an ambient sound design by Michelle Irving.
