Blog Stalker (Todd Rohal)

[ 03:09 ]
It started as office gossip: Did you see the latest installment of that girl’s blog? The blogger, a high school ugly duckling, had become obsessed with a cheerleader, harassing her by phone and in school and pouring out her neuroses into her blog, which one of the office workers had stumbled on. Soon the entire office, up through HR, were following her tortured ramblings.

Love In The Streets (Jerry Rothwell)
Our collective imagination of homelessness is shaped by the idea of someone who is single and lonely. Roy and Morag explode that myth and take in companionship, humor and love, alongside the dirt, noise and damp of London’s pavements –a warm look at the chill of a (love) life lived on the outside.

Wait for Me (Ross Kauffman)
“Wait for me. Wait for me and I will return.” Thus begins an extraordinary film that began a few years ago when a friend of filmmaker Ross Kaufmann casually mentioned in conversation the disappearance of a brother several decades years earlier. Kaufmann became intrigued with the 'Into Thin Air'-style story of John, a young man who set off on a bicycle trip through Europe and eventually to India to find himself - and was never heard from again. Alternating between John’s loving mother describing her son and his journey, her voiceover as she reads aloud from his letters to her during his trip, and home movies of John, first as a child with an adorable smile and later as a young man, Kaufmann depicts a life’s search for meaning. With heartbreaking sensitivity, he allows John’s mother to tell the story that only a mother could tell, and to explain how, 22 years later, she has followed her son’s written plea to continue to wait for him.

The Work's the Thing (Abigail Norris & Jerry Rothwell)
A short film about the art and working methods of Paul Housley. Born in Stalybridge, Greater Manchester, in 1964, Paul studied at the Royal College of Art. He has an interest in observing the everyday and a penchant for humble mass-produced objects. Like a number of other young UK artists, Paul is returning to figurative painting, at a time when video, photography, installation and new media have attracted increased attention as art forms. Since the popularity of the young British artists, the rise of 'Brit Art' and the controversy of the Turner Prize, painting has taken a back seat. Damien Hirst was famously quoted as saying that painting was dead. Housley, however works with traditional materials, proving that painting is alive and has an energy and power of its own in today’s art world. His paintings play with our notions of taste, finding novelty in cliché and lyricism in mundane, blank objects like sports bags and light bulbs.
