    Synopsis

    A young woman, sicker than those who dare to eat the food at the all-night diner she's perched in, catches a ghostly reflection of herself as a child. This inspires a topsy-turvy cataclysm, hermetically sealed within a huge wheel rolling through a movie studio.

    Slow Blink

    • 2010
    • Phillip Barker

    A camera is locked upon a dancers face, framed in a perpetual and intimate close-up. The film gives the viewer license to stare, to invest and spend time gazing at a face and we feel it in our bodies. This film was made with over 300 stills from a Holga Camera and 8 rolls of Super 8 film.

    Night Vision

    • 2008
    • Phillip Barker

    A scientist swims underwater at night, her body adorned with pulsing electric lights. A blind man sends giant soap bubbles filled with his memories floating across a lake. Children play innocently on a raft as they drift downstream towards the edge of a perilous waterfall. Night Vision brings together stories of people who find light in darkness.
