Film screening: Louise Stevenson / Nova Paul

Adam Art Gallery
6.00pm, Friday 5 June 2015
All welcome, free entry, refreshments provided

Please come along to the third and final film screening in association with the exhibitionDrawing Is/Not Building. Selected by Sarah Treadwell, whose works feature in the exhibition, this event is a rare opportunity to see Nova Paul’s Pink and White Terraces(2006) presented in analogue 16mm film courtesy of Ngā Taonga Sound and Vision and to enjoy the premiere of Louise Stevenson’s film-sketch and meditation on expatriate experience: Sea, Sight, Site(2015).

These two atmospheric films are fitting accompaniments to Treadwell’s ‘Oceanic Drawings’. Nova Paul shoots urban and suburban sites using a three-colour separation process similar to that developed in early Hollywood cinema. Paul separates out and mis-times these colour channels so that her transient moving subjects appear in additive layers of red, green and blue light. Stevenson explores fluid camera movements that draw on imagery shot on the coastal roads of the island of Guadalcanal and its capital Honiara, where her father was employed as an architect in the Public Works Department, mixing this with oceanic footage filmed from within a moving ferry en route to Auckland’s Waiheke Island.
