A second chance to the see Dawn of the Rainbow in the Ed Adams curated screening: Adventures in the Other Screen Trade at Spike Island.
Outcasting has been looking for artists whose work inhabits a different yet parallel world to the one described by William Goldman in his book ‘Adventures in the Screen Trade’. These artists manipulate the production values, techniques, content, sounds, cast-offs and memories of the film and television canon to make films that are rooted in the accepted language of mainstream film-making but are anything but mainstream.
This programme will include the work of Bobby Abate, Darren Banks, Tessa Garland, Katie Goodwin, Kika Nicolela, John Rowley & Ruaidhri Ryan.
Terence Preston, the microbiologist, who's voice and 1972 microscopic footage bought alive amoebae in the Small Wonders film, kindly gave me a beautiful Bolex 16mm camera that started the whole conversation. So rather than it sit on the shelf gathering dust, I decided to learn how to use this camera and start to incorporate the footage into my practice. I intend to take it to Finland as older mechanics work better in colder climes than digital battery powered cameras.
This short film is a result of a collaboration with animator Susan Young whilst on a Bolex course with filmmaking co-op no.w.here. It was shot on location in Deptford and Greenwich whilst witnessing the May Day Jack-In-The-Green tradition. So much fun.
