Film director Greg Pope: biography, career, and where to

Shot Film

Greg Pope

"Made using lengths of black 35mm movie film [...] the film was attached to a board and shot with a shotgun. The resulting damage was then repaired and the separate lengths joined together in strict order. At its simplest it is a pun on the phrase "to shoot film". My idea was to portray the concept of shooting a film as a physical and literal action. The film can be seen as pure documentation of an act. The damage done becomes the image and the soundtrack." -Pope

Moonwalk

Greg Pope

Almost subliminal lunar images flash by. Contrasts of light and dark are evocative of the mechanisms of filmic process itself - positive/negative. A fantastic, though familiar, moonscape is momentarily exposed.
