TRANSMISSION

© Peter Devonald and Ronis Varlaam

 

 

Shortlisted for the Best Art Film award at the Portobello Film Festival 2010.

 


LOGLINE
During amazing signs of the end of the world, Tracy Vine embarks on a personal odyssey to find the lover of her ex-boyfriend whilst also searching for the truth of the apocalypse.


THEMES

Transmission is about beliefs, journeys and the search for truth. At it's heart is a series of bizarre and startling characters and situations. The police, army and government are involved, but Tracy has her own personal journey to follow... It is a broad and dynamic work which encompasses an impressive range of genres and styles - from thriller to road movie, from erotica to comedy, from conspiracy theory to magical realism.

And
Transmission - Log No 1.

Exhibition Opened: Friday 24th July 6.30pm

Amos, Morgan Beringer, Laura Collinson, Paul Cureton, Coris Evans Andrew Hladky, Matthew Kelly, Fiona Long, Michelle Lord, Sam Meech & Pete Bamford, Mark Melvin, Sarah Robinson, Govinda Sah, Laura Smith, Ronis Vaalam, Rupert White

Apocalypse Now will reflect on interpretations of the meaning of an Apocalypse today, and bring together artists from the U.K whose work deals with Apocalyptic themes, from a very contemporary viewpoint to reflect on a very human dilemma.

Artists working with an array of media from painting and sculpture to multimedia works present a disparate standpoint on a unified theme. From the neon sculpture work of Mark Melvin to the intricate painting and drawing of Andrew Hladky and Paul Cureton and into poignant and moving video pieces of Sarah Robinson, Apocalypse Now provides a core of activity and artwork that seeks to enlighten views on our termination.
