"Duncan Campbell's film Falls Burns Malone Fiddles draws out the processes whereby people do nothing and something happens. It is a sort of
aesthetization of everyday existence visible in the hairstyles, the fashions and aspirations of the moment. This style of documentary film with an off
screen voice-over combined with still images - and bootlegged sources brings to mind the work of John T Davis and Chris Marker. Duncan's work is
built up from Belfast community photographic archives and partakes in and comments on the DIY aesthetic that comes with these sources."
- Mike Kelly
New York based Mark Orange posits the promise of everything and nothing. In his Car Boot Sale slide show a group of people eat take away food
huddled in their car at the end of a night out, a scene familiar from outside Belfast night clubs and bars. In Prototype II, a distressed image
re-photographed complete with stains, folds and discoloration boldly calls out "Open 24 Hours." Is this a poster selling a worn out ideal or a fantasy
ready to be discarded?
