Down on Me

John dances with the camera and lets himself get carried away by the device, which works at one frame per second and spins its way on the end of a fishing line while he makes it go up and down from rooftops and bridges. Throughout this time, the camera points from above at John, who is on the ground and raises his head to look back at the camera, and turns with it. “Camera hoisting” by Stephen Niblock, a friend of John’s. Various locations were used, which were edited in-camera, and there were two recording sessions separated by an interval of one year; the first was outdoors and the second indoors (stairwells), recorded with exposures, with which occasional abstract vortices were created.

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.
