Event – Essay Film Now – Whitechapel Gallery
The shortlist, comprising Charlie Lyne, Marianna Simnett, Sam Stevens and Sarah Wood each approach the genre of the Essay Film from diverse perspectives in their practice.
Sam Steven's impresssed me the most with his speech and footage from his film Alantropa (2009)
He uses really long establishing shots in the film with english audio and spanish text... It is a fictional story yet is told as a factual documentary.
