Un-Tidal

Un-Tidal, 16mm film, color, b&w, sound, 10 min, 2022.

An experimental film essay about a found (stolen?) photograph, a hurricane, and film’s inherent ability to animate and re-animate still, dead, and inanimate beings, images, and objects. The film is created using an ink-jet direct-on-film technique where the digital frame is printed directly onto recycled 16mm celluloid.

“Un-Tidal” was awarded Best Celluloid Film and the
EFEA Award for Original Concept at EFEA (Experimental Film Festival of East Anglia).
