For Some Time Now
2010
The film explores the contingencies of montage to force new meanings form incoherence. The video piece puts images from a range of places both urban and rural together with snippets of memories from three interviews and found sound. The film speaks across generations. The imagery is of a young family and the sound is from interviews of elderly men thinking back to their childhood in poverty. All is jarring yet creates a new poetry through new connections and meanings across time and place.
