Tape Letters from the Waiting Room

An existential drama exploring the universal themes of death and rebirth. Tape Letters from the Waiting Room is an experiment in film archaeology and magnetic memory as it navigates past life experiences. Shifting in succession from the mundane to the metaphysical, the film is composed of extant 16mm found footage from the past century. An original soundtrack by Mark Vernon encompasses a rich collection of domestic tape recordings; audio letters, dictated notes, found sounds and other lost voices.

Spirit of Place

The invisible becomes visible. Every room has a spirit which sleeps beneath the layers of peeling paint and wallpaper. Spirit of Place observes the awakening of such a spirit, coerced into life by moonlight to reveal sumptuous velvets, decaying gilt, and an assemblage of neo-Gothic objects d‘art – a ghostly reflection of its past. In one long, carefully choreographed sequence, pictures animate and a message is disclosed as the motion control camera passes on its programmed course.

Le Harem du Pharaon-Soleil

January 2011: a team from the University of Basel makes two spectacular discoveries. The first was a previously unknown tomb, which was given the number KV64 and contained two mummies. It had originally been created at the time of Amenhotep III for a princess of the 18th dynasty and was reused a few centuries later for the burial of a noblewoman of the 22nd dynasty. Right next to it is the already known burial site KV40, where the Basel researchers have now carried out excavations for the first time. They discovered dozens of mummies - an unusual find in the Valley of the Kings, where most tombs were built for just one pharaoh. Initially, the archaeologists estimated the number of dead at 30, but after months of collaboration with evolutionary scientist Frank Rühli from the University of Zurich, they came to the conclusion that there must actually be more than 90. Who were these women?

The Procession

According to the Galician myth, the Santa Compaña is a parade of grieving souls dressed in black robes that travel the villages during the night. Led by a living person holding a cross, they look for the next naive victim that'll cross their path, to pass down the curse of leading the dead. In a small town in Galicia, a young delivery man comes across them on his way to drop off a mysterious package. Nevertheless, he continues, and once at the village where he must deliver the package, he'll find that nothing around these areas is usual.
