New Film Stills



These stills are from films by Sreejata Roy in India. Her films are called Stationary Journey and I have used them to form the framework for the compilation film for the whole project.

Thank you

I wish to thank everyone who took part in the project. Without their enthusiasm, talent and skill, this project would not have been successful. Over thirty people created new films on their mobile phones which were then exchanged, again by mobile phone, with each other. Some people made just one film, while others made upwards of a dozen. Approximately one third of the participants were based in Shetland. Other locations included Australia, China, England, Germany, India, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Scotland and the United States.

Exhibiting Swap Shots

I have been working on making a compilation film from the project. It is being exhibited in two locations in November and December - at the Shetland Arts Bonhoga Gallery Stairwell Projection Space and at ET4U Contemporary Art in Westjutland in Denmark. The project generated approximately 140 films, most of which are six seconds long. The compilation film is 18 minutes, 36 seconds long.
