Iddu (2007) – James P Graham

Feature sourced by: Sozita Goudouna, Artistic Director of Out of the Box Intermedia

James P GrahamIddu (meaning ‘Him’ in Sicilian dialect), is a 360 degree artwork realised on the landscape of the active volcano Stromboli. Made over a period of four years, this 15 minute film combines 360° and 180° panoramic multi-camera views. It is coupled with a soundtrack generated from the collaboration between James P Graham and celebrated sound artist Akio Suzuki who performed in situ on the volcano. The end result is a 12 screen “surround” installation within an enclosed circular space which immerses the viewer into the centre of a unique, and petrifyingly beautiful landscape.

Here is a virtual representation of Iddu, created for digital mediums:

The Black Dog’s Progress (2008) – Stephen Irwin

I recently saw this film at the Arnolfini, Bristol as part of the Animated Encounters Film Festival. It was shown along with nine other short animations as a programme of award winning experimental animation from the UK. The films were selected from the 100 films commissioned through Channel 4 / Arts Council England AnimateTV project. For further information about AnimateTV, please visit www.animateprojects.org.

We will be featuring as many of the ten films that were programmed as we can (and maybe more) over the coming months. I am starting with Stephen Irwin’s film, The Black Dog’s Progress because it particularly appealed to me, including the excellent soundtrack to the film which was produced by Sorenious Bonk. I hope you enjoy it.

Programme note from Arnolfini Screening:
“Over fifty flipbook animations, assembled within a single shot, each representing a different scene, and continuing to play on a loop as the narrative develops.”
