SOLITAIRE
“Solitaire,” an edgy, off-kilter experimental narrative about dealing with death.

Whilst trekking across Dartmoor, a sister reads to her brother about a local legend; of a young woman (Ida Temperance Smith) who went missing up on the moor, and of her husband who went out to look for her. The gothic tale (A mixture of live-action and animation) unfolds from three view points. This film came out of my love of local myths, legends and fairy tales.

Mother Economy
Mother Economy a short visually stunning experimental fiction film by Maya Zack, 2007 Mother Economy follows the actions of a lonely housekeeper during a day at a house, navigating through the domestic space in order to find traces of family members. She is documenting the position of the objects, drawing marks around them and sketching them in her notepad. Her actions turns out to be part of a traditional systematic ritual, measuring every object and action into a numeric value. Mother Economy presents the house as an economic unit in which even the mother becomes a calculating instrument and the obvious is revealed as reward and punishment.
