Sing Swan Song


We've just completed a short 16mm film entitled "Sing Swan Song." It's an attempt to create a lucid film, heavily optical printed and composed of both color and b&w handprocessed and lab processed 16mm. Structured around a series of pre-recorded dreams, the images are culled from subconscious responses to imagery from these dreams and arranged in random combinations corresponding to the patterns of the pre-recorded dreams in the timeline of the soundtrack - essentially, we've attempted to create a structure that accommodates the free-flowing space of a dream. It's available on Ipod compatible video on this website (video because it desires multiple viewings, ipod because it's portable and shitty enough to necessitate a viewing on glorious 16mm). We will also be screening it as often as possible, so stay posted.
