- If you were to play a part in a film, would you be yourself or a fictional character?
- Swandown is a travelogue and odyssey of Olympian ambition; a poetic film-diary in which Andrew Kötting and Iain Sinclair pedal a swan-shaped pedalo from the seaside in Hastings to Hackney in London, via the English inland waterways.
- Subconscious Society is about the end of the industrial era and the transition to the digital age, in which computer code and the clone or copy are in the process of replacing material objects and analogue technology. In the film, this paradigm shift is represented in the form of a social community, whose protagonists make a final attempt at assigning and archiving objects from the past. The project takes inspiration from the urban environment of Manchester (UK) and the landscapes of Kent (UK), with additional scenes shot in Texas (US). The first two locations played paradigmatic roles in the industrial revolution: Manchester as the first industrial metropolis and Margate catering to the related rise of a new leisure culture for the masses. The Manchester scenes represent the "inside", the Kent and Texas sequences, by contrast, represent the "outside". The film shows repeating architectural structures and topographies populated by abandoned ships, collapsing piers and rotting sea forts rising from the water on stilts like an alien life form. Subconscious Society considers the possibility of archiving something whose value cannot be recognized or measured anymore, yet ultimately it is not about nostalgia but rather the question of how we can understand the present.
- Four people's dreams from the same night are recreated using different animation techniques.
- A documentary about the making of the fictitious 1970s exploitation film Hiker Meat.
- In 2011, artist Patrick Brill (known creatively as Bob and Roberta Smith) made waves in the art world with Letter to Michael Gove, an oversized painted-word response to the former Education Secretary's proposed eradication of art from the British school syllabus. In his feature film Art Party, Smith builds on his 2011 protest with a mix of performance, interviews and imagined scenes, en route to the 2013 Art Party Conference, where he and other speakers championed the importance of art and its place in the education system. Part documentary, part road movie and part political fantasy, Art Party ultimately asks "how do you tell one man he's got it wrong?" This unique and provocative film stars John Voce as Michael Grove MP and Julia Rayner as his parliamentary aid, featuring work and comment by artists as diverse as Cornelia Parker, John Smith, Haroon Mirza, Jeremy Deller and Jessica Voorsanger. With original music by Flameproof Moth, the Ken Ardley Playboys and The Fucks.
