The Carriageworks: Studio
11 November • 7pm

French filmmaker Nicolas Rey has been making films since 1993. He is co-founder of L'Abominable, an artisan film lab in Paris, and the alchemical transformation of film is central to his practice. His often-durational works hover somewhere between photography, documentary and experimental film – at once examining and questioning industry, society, history and the meaning of images – yet remaining always highly personal and poetic. This screening sees the UK premiere of Rey's feature length film 'Schuss!', set in the mountains and eluding as much to the slopes of capitalism as it does to alpine skiing. Showing alongside 'Tahousse' by Olivier Fouchard and Mahine Rouhi in which the mythical mountains of Kurdistan are fortified on vivid celluloid.

Tahousse, Olivier Fouchard & Mahine Rouhi, 2007, 31mins
Schuss!, Nicolas Rey, France, 2006, 126mins
