Spectre

After a year of attempting to handwrite a personal letter to Luce Irigaray before she passes, Kyle Faulkner decided to turn it into a film instead.

At a temple at the far ends of the earth, a committee of dogs maintain guardianship over an ancient force.

Landscape blends with narrative through a journey of the human heart as a woman healing from trauma.

An obsessive young man cast in the role of a killer in an upcoming true crime production befriends a surviving family member of the real-life events.

A poem about grief and the artificial, a copy of a copy of a copy, a therapeutic slow cinema meditation on solitude and the psychoanalytic and healing aspects of karaoke and all it implies, its emotional mechanics, modern art as endless duplication, the Real within the “false”. A love letter to Japan, channelling Marker and Benning into a spiritual reimagining of a Totoro hunt, a Shinto funeral rite for ghosts caught between worlds, and ideally, an antidote to Matsumoto's Atman. Featuring the Steamroom compositions of Jim O’Rourke.

Leftover scenes from Hitokara strung together as inconsequential ephemera

A portrait of a planet.
