Silence
Silence (Trailer) from Harvest Films on Vimeo.
"The cuckoo calls from the well of my mind, more echo than thought, as it fades through the wind and flickers away to the silence beyond like the voice, in myself, of another." ‘Insomnia in Southern Illinois’, by John Burnside Eoghan is a sound recordist who is returning to Ireland for the first time in 15 years. The reason for his return is a job offer: to record landscapes free from man-made sound. His quest takes him to remote terrain, away from towns and villages. Throughout his journey, he is drawn into a series of encounters and conversations which gradually divert his attention towards a more intangible silence, one that is bound up with the sounds of the life he had left behind. Influenced by elements of folklore and archive, Silence unfolds with a quiet intensity, where poetic images reveal an absorbing meditation on themes relating to sound and silence, history, memory and exile.

Dummy Jim
Dummy Jim Trailer from Matt Hulse on Vimeo.
Jim hails from Cairnbulg, a close-knit community on the North East Coast of Scotland, neighbouring Inverallochy. Folk here are descended from proud, hardworking Scottish fishermen. Locally Jim is well-known as 'Dummy Jim', or simply 'The Dummy'. A wee while ago he set forth alone on a Continental cycling tour which might have taken him from Scotland to Spain and Gibralter, and finally to Morocco. However, he encountered difficulties on route. He took a route Northwards, in a direction that eventually led him to the Arctic Circle. "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans." Jim kept a journal of these Continental experiences that was published in 1955 with the title 'I Cycled Into The Arctic Circle', under his proper name - James Duthie. There has since been a beautiful website inspired by Jim's trip and an extraordinary album by The One Ensemble & Sarah Kenchington. There's also a Limited Edition artists' book that commemorates the 60th anniversary of his trip. In 2012 a feature film will be completed, starring deaf actor Samuel Dore, released along with a richly illustrated reprint of the original journal. DUMMY JIM IS HAPPENING - In May 1951 a profoundly deaf 30 year old Scotsman called James Duthie – known to his local community as ‘Dummy Jim’ – cycled solo on a return trip from the small fishing town of Cairnbulg in the north east of Scotland to the Arctic Circle. The round trip of 6000+ miles took three months and was managed on a budget of just £12. On returning to Scotland, Duthie wrote about his travels and in 1955 a slim volume called ‘I Cycled into the Arctic Circle’ was published. James sold copies of the book door to door to cover the cost of future excursions. Sadly the cyclist was killed in a road accident in 1965. In 2000, artist Matt Hulse received a copy of the book from his mother, who had unearthed the hidden gem whilst working at a second hand bookshop on Iona. Inspired by the journal’s eccentricity and genuine warmth, Matt decided to set about making a film of James Duthie’s unique story. A year later the wheels were set in motion with the blessing of an SAC Creative Scotland Award. http://dummyjim.com/ https://www.facebook.com/DummyJim Matt Hulse - http://vimeo.com/anormalboy http://anormalboy.wordpress.com/ Come rain or shine, friend or foe, hill or flat, puncture or no, Matt and his team have not stopped pedalling.Lincoln

I Dream Of Wires
I Dream of Wires: The Modular Synthesizer Documentary - Nov 2011 Promo from I Dream Of Wires A documentary about the history and resurgence of modular synthesizers. The film, directed by Robert Fantinatto, is currently in production. Jason Amm is serving as producer for the film. I Dream Of Wires started off as a modest exploration of the passion and obsession of a few designers, manufacturers, collectors and musicians, but interest in the film has convinced us that there is a demand for a comprehensive documentary that will explore, both geographically and thematically, the wide ranging influence of the modular synthesizer. http://idreamofwires.org/
