This film aims to capture the stories of the aging Isabella, but also captures her condition and loss of cohesiveness as she loses herself into dementia and Parkinson's. It is also a very personal film since the subject is the grandmother of one of the co- directors. The idea is interesting as it links one strong clear memory, told several times, to other fragments and truths of her condition. Animation is sparingly but cleverly used to complement the delivery and avoid it just being a talking head.

‘At the work's core is an experimental approach to the stuff of film and a fiercely political outlook. Dresden Dynamo is an abstract assault on the senses. Eschewing a camera, Rhodes affixed patterned Letratone stickers to the film itself and used filters to create red and blue colours. Stripes, dots and wavy lines surge across the screen, and their forms dictate the accompanying barrage of white noise and atonal bleeps.’ --Ben Luke London Evening Standard 26 January 2012

In a manner akin to Irvine Welsh, this entertaining poery film charts my personal experiences as a young adult on the gay scene in East London in the early 2000s. The poetry speaks honestly and frankly but with a mix of melancholy and humour about my time at the White Swan pub, moving onto Chariots, a gay sauna in Limehouse, East London where I first fisted a man and then my experience of wanting to fist guys in a sauna at HSBC Bank Headquarters where I was working in Canary Wharf in London at the time. I say 'I' but actually the poetry for much of the film is delivered by my fist, who gives the viewer an honest and sometimes no-holes-barred graphic account of what it's like to 'go up inside another man's street' .

An hallucinatory space is set up when a frozen image of the artist’s face is projected onto weighty pieces of crockery atop a table.
