The Big Sink

"My first film, shot at art school on a crappy Super 8 camera I bought from the market. At the time I was obsessed with Universal Studios horror films, and Dreyer’s Vampyr, and I had just discovered three films by George Kuchar, and Alain Resnais. So it’s a mix of those, sort of. It was shot over many months, as I had to coerce my friends to give me their time, especially the lead, who required many hours of make-up before he killed my friends. It’s a play on Jekyll and Hyde, though how clear this is to the viewer I’m pretty uncertain.” - Ben Rivers

Swan Song

This was Carolina Lopez Caballero's graduation film at Farnham (now Surrey Institute of Art and Design), but has a strength and confidence of vision which is unusual in student work. The technique mixes three dimensional work, boiling watercolour, thick paint, ink and collage. The mark-making mixes roughness and calligraphic grace. The film tells a dreamlike story of a king who is attracted to the singing of a mysterious woman. He is disappointed when she turns out to have the head and neck of a swan and finds it difficult to fit into her new role as Queen.
