    • 1986
    • Gerry Kisil

    This tape deals with the breakdown of the traditional family unit (mother, father, child). It is a narrative that follows a sequence of events through to a climax. Real as well as artificial notions of love, family and relationships are discussed; metaphors are used to strengthen the activity on the screen.

    Ballistics

    • 1981
    • Gerry Kisil

    This tape deals with a contemporary heterosexual relationship. Specifically, it is about a male-dominated relationship where the female is seen as a victim. That is to say, not in control of events surrounding her life, suppressed at every turn by the personification of macho mysticism.
