Aftersong

Aftersong is a film-poem based on the writings of the English nature writer Richard Jefferies and the music of French composer Lili Boulanger. It is a meditation on the lingering afterimages left behind by the dead where the tension between absence and presence continues to endure across time, rippling through fragments of “period drama: cinema, architecture and nature.” Filmed on 16mm with a voice-over from the contemporary supernatural English writer Quentin S. Crisp.

One More Time with Feeling

Andrew Dominik's One More Time With Feeling is a remarkable black and white documentary which chronicles the creation of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' album Skeleton Tree. Originally a performance based concept, the film evolved into something much more significant as Dominik delved into the tragic backdrop of the writing and recording of the album. The result is stark, fragile and raw, and a true testament to an artist trying to find his way through the darkness. It documents the writing, recording and performing of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ sixteenth studio album, Skeleton Tree.
