CINEVILLE at CINECITY
ECOLOGY
Monday 19th November
This event was held at Lighthouse.
In a special CINEVILLE forum in association with the University of Brighton, Sarah Turner, writer, director and lecturer, presented and discussed her latest work.
ECOLOGY is a feature film of three parts, three characters and three stories that can be screened in any order: the stories of a mother, a daughter and a son on holiday in Majorca. This is a writer’s retreat rather than the Majorca of package holidays. Transplanted from a white working-class suburbia to the sun-scorched Majorcan hills, they are matter out of place.
Delivered as three internal monologues narrated as voice-over, we are caught in the rhythms of an urgent repetition of past events and scraps of imagined dialogue as the complex fragile relations between people are explored. Appearing to reference a debate on the ethics of the environment, ECOLOGY innovatively turns the idea towards the ethics of emotional relations and the far less mapped terrain of psychic recycling, the debris passed on and re-circulated among people.
‘Shot on multiple formats, the mobile phone footage with its surface like swarming creatures, appears to metabolise the swimming grain of Super 8, just as Super 8 might once have metabolised the texture of impressionist painting.’
Janet Harbord, Vertigo, Summer 07
The Q&A was facilitated by Rachel Moore, lecturer in International Media at Goldsmiths.
