Heliocentric
/
Heliocentric uses time-lapse photography and astronomical tracking to plot the sun's trajectory across a series of landscapes. The entire environment seems to pan past the camera whilst the sun stays in the centre of each frame, enabling us to gauge the earth's rotation and orbit around the sun. As the Sun's light becomes disrupted by passing weather conditions and the environment through which we encounter it, it audibly plays them as if it were a stylus. The 'heliocentric' view of the universe was debated from the third century BC onwards and remained contentious into modern times.

I am micro
/ I am micro
Strictly non-narrative, the film mixes pieces of documentary, fiction and philosophical comment. Shot in the passages of abandoned film labs, in disintegrating cinema halls and behind the scenes of a low-budget film crew, the film is an experimental essay about filmmaking, the film form and the spirit of independent cinema in India.

The Voyagers
/ The Voyagers
In 1977, NASA sent Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 on an epic journey into interstellar space. Each spacecraft carries a golden record album, a massive compilation of images and sounds embodying the best of Planet Earth. According to Carl Sagan, ›[t]he spacecraft will be encountered and the record played only if there are advanced space-faring civilizations in interstellar space. But the launching of this bottle into the cosmic ocean says something very hopeful about life on this planet.‹

Tranquility
/ Tranquility
Sun, beach, the sea: most people associate these with carefree days off work, free from civilization’s demands. An image of a woman lying on her back in the sand, next to her an abandoned beach toy and nothing but sun and wind above, represents the point of departure for an adventurously long journey, one produced by the film material to be found here.
