Joseph Henry

[ 12:36 ]

A psychological drama of loss and unfulfilled potential. The narrative explores innocence and wisdom, hope and regret through, what seems to be, an ordinary conversation between two strangers, a man and a boy who meet at a bus stop. The story unfolds through a fragmented narrative and distorted time line blurring the lines between dreams, reality and memory.

Kino Otokonoko
Loosely based on the Pinocchio story by Carlo Collodi, Kino Otokonoko tells the story of a young woman who wakes in the aftermath of her fathers death from a series of strange dreams, only to discover she is in fact the product of her lonely father's desire to build a daughter from wood. As Ki struggles to come to terms with this new-found self-awareness she realizes that although she might be different to everyone around her, she was borne of love and loneliness, giving her existence the same weight as every other person in the world. Kino Otokonoko is a Japanese language film shot on location in London by Michelle Tofi and Adam Grundy and starring Kozue Takeda.

1 Or 2 Things I Don't Know About Him
Left unexpectedly by a boyfriend, full of unanswered questions that haunt him, unable to let go – this is where Guido finds himself, and he desperately needs to talk. An imaginary Sebastien – the boyfriend who left him without stating his reasons – then takes centre stage for a decisive exchange. Using Sebastien as an extension of himself, Guido is set to resolve in his own head all the sorrow felt over their failed relationship. But riddance will not come easily – before that, Guido will need to revisit some painfully intimate memories… With a probing psychological insight, 1 or 2 Things brings us inside Guido’s thoughts, traveling between imagination, dream and reality, blurring the line between them. Using contrasting colours and dream-like sequences of erotic intimacy, we are invited to share Guido’s loneliness and desperation.

Last Day of December
A MAN TRIES TO RECONCILE A HARROWING TALE FROM HIS PAST AND CONFRONT OLD QUESTIONS THAT WILL KEEP ON HAUNTING HIM FOREVER. BUT WHAT WILL IT MEAN FOR THE PRESENT? After winning an HBO Development Award at Columbia University, this film was shot in Northern Romania on 35mm. With no film crew at all, Bogdan was also the director of photography on the shoot, performing the majority of other jobs on set: operator, assistant cameramen, loader, grip, production designer and so on. He also custom-built the dolly and job used on this project, which were a challenge to use in gruesome daily temperature averaging -5 Fahrenheit. He was the editor and sound designer of the film, which were done in New York. LAST DAY OF DECEMBER played in the Rotterdam Film Festival, Montreal World Film Festival, Palm Springs Short Film Festival, European Independent Film Festival (Paris, France) and won awards in Aarhus, Sedona and Rhode Island Film Festivals.
