AKA Borderline was shown for the first time at UNN for the Northernness conference last week.
There was a small but committed audience for the session which included Anne Vibeke Moe and Tim Brennan both talking about their more recent work, and myself presenting Borderline. Malcolm Gee was the moderator.
I was very pleased with the feedback I felt that some had really got what I was trying to convey with the film without using text or language to nevertheless drive a narrative.
A friend came and she was very supportive which I much appreciated. It is always so good to sit down with someone sympatico afterwards for a reality check.
I met a few new people from Brighton and Hongkong and Chester which I enjoyed too. They found it poetic and memorable.
I shall look forward to sharing it on facebook and on vimeo and youtube as well.
The conference was very interesting and there were many papers and presentations plus an exhibition which I went to see before returning to the valley.
For me the main thing was perhaps after all showing work that is very much mine and not only the work I do with Bloodaxe Books, which is also mine of course but in a different way.
Thanks and kudos to Ysanne Holt and Paul Usherwood.
