Day 2 at 25 FPS

A cinematic vision of home in exile or how we structure memories of places that mean something to us where we are far away is the focus of the section Films in Place of Places (16:00), the first in the series presented by our jury members. George Clark, British curator and artist, is composing a sort of mosaic auto-bio-geography made out of works by authors from the places he visited, armed with his 35 mm camera and a wish to connect people through the universal feeling of homesickness. 

His footage (Untitled – Eyemo Rolls) fill the tapestry of nostalgia composed of famous names like Apichatpong Weerasethakul (0116643225059), Chick Strand (Guacamole), Peter Hutton (Images of Asian Music (Diary of Life 973-74)) and Joanna Margaret Paul (Thorndon), as well as those less known, like Mok Chiu-yu’s activist shoutout (Letter to the Young Intellectuals of Hong Kong) and the Philippine art collective Tito & Tita (Director’s Cat).
