Bulk Collection

Bulk Collection--a euphemism for mass surveillance--is a film-essay and audio commentary that chronicles the hegemonic condition of algorithmic monoculture. A combination of shot footage and found audio, BULK COLLECTION was filmed on a Iphone 8 over a two year period. It is a diary and time capsule of digital gentrification--a New York City of ubiquitous mega construction sites, constant demolition, and the socio-economic fallout of the COVID regime. The construction of the massive new Downtown home of Disney's 650-million dollars headquarters at 4 Hudson Square--which Masha Tupitsyn filmed for over a year--the COVID-19 breakout in spring 2020, and the Black Lives Matter protests in the summer of 2020, all coalesce into a temporal record of the cultural wreckage of a physical world that was destroyed because no one was paying attention.

Game of Thrones: The Last Watch

For a year, acclaimed British filmmaker Jeanie Finlay was embedded on the set of the hit HBO series “Game of Thrones,” chronicling the creation of the show’s most ambitious and complicated season. Debuting one week after the series 8 finale, GAME OF THRONES: THE LAST WATCH delves deep into the mud and blood to reveal the tears and triumphs involved in the challenge of bringing the fantasy world of Westeros to life in the very real studios, fields and car-parks of Northern Ireland. Made with unprecedented access, GAME OF THRONES: THE LAST WATCH is an up-close and personal portrait from the trenches of production, following the crew and the cast as they contend with extreme weather, punishing deadlines and an ever-excited fandom hungry for spoilers. Much more than a “making of” documentary, this is a funny, heartbreaking story, told with wit and intimacy, about the bittersweet pleasures of what it means to create a world – and then have to say goodbye to it.
