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.

Re-Starting

Huge apologies for those of you who have been looking for new posts here over the last few weeks. I have been battling against cat dander! I am hoping to get back into the swing of things again soon, so I will be trying to re-start the film exchanges. I have received some new films from Norway and India, which I will try to post soon.

Forgotten Film Stills

I have been organising files and folders today and discovered this set of film stills some of which I believe haven't been posted.

Anya's Animation

Anya has sent another animation from which these stills are taken.

I believe these are the last film stills I have received to date. My next plans include putting the videos onto the Internet, acknowledging all the people who have made films and collecting a few more films by email from some of the artists who weren’t able to get their films sent through their mobile phone networks.
