SUMMARY:Corin Sworn\, The Foxes\, 2014Laura Horelli\, The Terrace\, 2011Rania Stephan\, Memories for a Private Eye\, 2015Screening
DESCRIPTION:£2.00\nBooking Essential | Information | info@campleline.org.uk\n\nLaura Horelli\, The Terrace\, 2011Courtesy of Laura Horelli and Av-Arkki\, Helsinki\nRania Stephan\, still from Memories for a Private Eye\, 2014Courtesy of Rania Stephan\nCAMPLE LINE is delighted to present three short film works by Corin Sworn\, Rania Stephan and Laura Horelli respectively. The screening\, organised in association with Driftwood Cinema\, is the second of three that launch our on-going programme May You Live In Interesting Times\, and other family stories. \n  \nCorin Sworn’s film The Foxes was commissioned by The Common Guild in Glasgow for Scotland+Venice 2013. Sworn’s starting point for the film was a collection of slides taken in 1973 by her father Gavin A. Smith\, who is a social anthropologist. The slides were taken during his fieldwork in Huasicancha\, a highland village in Peru. While Sworn’s film touches on her father’s original work on Peruvian land reform and tactics of peasant rebellion\, it also poses questions about the general legibility of photographs and the layers of story that we draw out of them. Sworn sat down with her father over two days in July 2012 to project and look at the slides. As they talked\, Sworn learned more about the trip the slides documented. As she has noted: ‘At 8 years old\, your parents’ adult life is very foreign to you in a way\, and it just seemed more weird back then than necessarily interesting.’ Snippets of a conversation between the artist and her father discussing the slides and the places\, events and people they depict are woven into the film alongside footage of a trip that they make together back to the region in 2013. \n  \nLaura Horelli’s film The Terrace shares features with Sworn’s The Foxes: central to both is the consideration of images taken by a respective parent. As a small child Laura and her family lived in a row house in a compound in the neighbourhood of Kilimani in Nairobi\, Kenya\, staying there for a period of four years before moving back to Helsinki. The Selborne Apartments consist of four vaguely modernist row houses\, designed by the architect Braz Menezes and constructed in the late 1970s. Shots of the buildings and grounds are interspersed with sequences in which the artist sifts through a series of photographs\, taken by her mother in the late 1970s and early 1980s. At certain points\, the camera pans over photos of Esther\, a local Kenyan woman who the Horellis employed as a housekeeper. In a voiceover\, Horelli also recounts that during the 1980s\, her father worked for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN\, and her mother worked with a Kenyan women’s organization. However\, this is not a straightforward return to a childhood home: the filmed footage resists giving dimension easily to remembered places and relationships. \n  \nRania Stephan’s film Memories for a Private Eye was commissioned by Sharjah Art Foundation and premiered at Berlin Film Festival in February 2015. Memories for a Private Eye will comprise a trilogy of films\, of which it is the first part. In contrast to the films of Sworn and Horelli\, in which both artists maintain a more direct\, analytical approach to their source images\, Stephan approaches a small snippet of film of her mother less directly\, drawing on cinematic forms and footage to elaborate an exploration of her own memories. The investigative impulse is present in her film\, however it is embodied in a fictional Hollywood detective who Stephan artfully cuts into the flow of the film. Beguiling cinematic images are interspersed with documentary footage of Stephan’s hometown Joun\, and attempts made by Stephan to interview and record her father. Stephan has said of this film: ‘I tried to explore my personal archive by invoking a fictional detective to help me unfold deep and traumatic memories. The images\, which come from different sources\, weave together into a labyrinthine maze to create a blueprint of memory itself. The film spirals around a lost image\, the only moving image of my dead mother. What remains of love\, war and death with the passing of time? These are the questions that are delicately displayed for contemplation in this film.’

SUMMARY:Miranda Pennell\, The Host\, 2015  Werner Kissling\, Eriskay – A Poem of Remote Lives\, 1935SCREENING
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n£2.00\nBOOKING ESSENTIAL | Information | info@campleline.org.uk\n\nMiranda Pennell\, still from The Host\, 2015Courtesy of Miranda Pennell and Lux\, London\nMiranda Pennell\, still from The Host\, 2015Courtesy of Miranda Pennell and Lux\, London\nWe are delighted to be screening MIRANDA PENNELL’S recent film The Host a year on from its debut at the London Film Festival. Pennell originally trained in contemporary dance before making films\, and later studied visual anthropology. Her recent moving-image work uses archival materials as the starting point for a reflection on the colonial imaginary. Pennell’s father was employed by the Iranian Oil Company\, later known as British Petroleum\, and much of her childhood was spent in Iran. The Host sets out to decipher images\, texts\, objects\, maps\, diagrams\, markings and photographs all buried in the BP Archive. What is revealed in the process is a hauntingly beautiful landscape objectified from the point of view of utility\, for resources that need to be extracted. The film interweaves a number of stories drawn from both the records of an imperial history and Pennell’s own memories\, and ultimately it is a personal essay film about the stories we tell about ourselves and others\, the facts and fictions we live by\, and their consequences. \nAlongside The Host\, we are screening WERNER KISSLING’s Eriskay – Poem of Remote Lives. His only surviving film\, it was shot in 1934 on the island of Eriskay and released the following year. It stands as a key document in the developing ethnography of Hebridean and Northern Isles cultures in the 1920s and 1930s. Kissling had a complicated personal history\, settling permanently in the UK in the 1930s to escape the consequences of the rise of Nazism in Germany and residing in his later years in Dumfries. Following an early career as a diplomat\, he established a practice as an ethnographer and photographer\, working in Yorkshire\, the south of Scotland and the Outer Hebrides\, and travelling to New Zealand in 1938 to record Maori culture.
