A box of popcorn. A scream. The end.

The magic of film is recreated, taken apart, examined and lovingly satirized in an unusual work of fiction. David Halliday imagines a BBC documentary about ‘the well known Canadian film maker Samuel Bremmer’. We see moments of the films themselves; we hear the words of the actors, the designers and the commentary of the director, Samuel Bremmer. The illusion of film, and how it is created against a backdrop of money problems, personality clashes, jealousies, ambitions, love and vanity.

Becha. I am not sure if this is one person, a group, etc. But it is fun.

Ms. Sadler does a simple cut and paste for her collages. They are in a traditional mode. Humor is evident. And there is no guise of invisible mending. By that I mean that she relationships between images is explicit and not hidden. One image does not flow into another. Much of my work is done the same way and I have added a couple of pieces as comparison. Her work strikes me as fairly intellectual. Pieces are well thought out. Intuition seems to have little to do with her work. I looked at her work to try and steal some visual ideas. I have to say that I haven’t been able to find any new ones. I’ll have to go back and look again.
