Hi!
My latest film 'Attraction' is showing tonight (FRIDAY) as part of Light Night
at the Everyman Cinema in Leeds (in the Trinity shopping centre). Really
excited to share it! A bit nervous too if I'm honest. ;)
Here's some information about my film - entry is FREE and it'll be shown every
half an hour between 6pm and 10pm (on the hour, and at half past the hour), no
tickets needed, just turn up! It's only 12 minutes long, but I'd love to share
it with you.
This film was made on Super 8 film which I then worked on with different
techniques using analogue film machinery and material to make a 16mm negative.
It is entirely processed by hand (the negative too) using chemicals in the dark
room. The 16mm reel was then digitized and edited.
I shot the footage at a variety of different fairs and circuses over the course
of a year, including the Valentine’s Fair at Elland Road, the Netherlands
Circus on Woodhouse Moor, the firework display in Hyde Park (Leeds) on Bonfire
Night, and at an art festival in Lille, where I went on a Christmas trip with
East Street Arts.
My film is about attraction - the attraction I feel towards working with
analogue film, the way that artist’s cinema and its history have many
similarities with fairground attractions, the way I feel like I’m on a
fairground ride while watching some experimental artist’s cinema, and my film
is also about physical attraction, chemistry, that thing that just pulls you
towards someone and that it’s impossible to hide. It’s almost a smell, I think.
So yes, this is a film about (as you’ve figured out by now...!), attraction!
The soundtrack is composed of recordings I made of a leather skirt, Super 8 and
16mm film projectors, and a brilliant old street piano that is wildly out of
tune, housed at Abbey House Museum in Kirkstall who kindly gave me access.
I really hope you like it. And if you don’t like it, I really hope it gives you
something. And if it doesn’t give you something, well hell, at least you took a
chance on something unknown. Thanks!

With many many thanks to the following, who made this film possible:
East Street Arts, Light Night Leeds, Leeds Film, Abbey House Museum, National
Media Museum, Everyman Cinema in Leeds, & the National Fairground Archive.
A Poem:
I went to the fair that night
without a clue
that I’d fall in love
with the curve of your shoulder
and never see straight again
I know it's super short notice, but I really hope to see you there!
