Stardust

<p dir="ltr">Stardust is a celebration of the dust and scratches in film, the real ones not the fake digital effects. It is a true collage film in both image and sound, to a soundtrack made by Gerstyn Hayward – a sound-collage of snippets from mainstream cinema and TV in which there is a reference to dust or death. The images are all taken from films in my own orphan film collection, such as a reel from the NFB series "Canada at War". These particular images were used to evoke the idea that we need to fight a total take-over by digital and preserve our dying celluloid past.</p><ul><li><b>Honourable Mention</b> International Competition: <i>Stardust.</i> VIDEOEX, INTERNATIONAL FILM AND VIDEO FESTIVAL (Zurich, Switzerland).</li><li>Antimatter Film Festival (Victoria, British Columbia)</li><li>Edinburgh International Film Festival (Edinburgh, Scotland)</li><li>Videoex International Experimental Film and Video Festival (Zurich, Switzerland)</li><li>Go Short International Short Film Festival (Nijmegen, The Netherlands)</li><li>Stem Cell: Edmonton Media Arts Festival (Edmonton, Alberta)</li></ul><p></p>
