Sol de Campinas

2021 · 26 min · Documentary

Sol de Campinas traces the work of archaeologists who, for the past ten years, have been excavating a ring of mounds surrounding a central plaza within a territory currently known as the State of Acre, Brazil. They transition from field to laboratory, interpreting how the land was constructed, what patterns were employed in settlement land use, and the composition of the anthropogenic earth that remains.

MovieDocumentary
Artist-filmmaker Jessica Sarah Rinland presents Black Pond, a film that explores the activity within a common land in the south of England. Previously occupied by the 17th century agrarian socialists The Diggers, the land is currently inhabited by a Natural History Society whose occupations include bat and moth trapping, mycology, tree measuring and botanical walks. After two years of filming on the land, the footage was shown to the members of the Society. Their memories and responses were recorded and subsequently used as part of the film’s narration. The film does not offer a comprehensive record of the history of humans within the area. Instead, it explores more intimately, human’s relationship with and within land and nature.

An incomplete travel (and sound) chronicle; a place occupied by maps and globes; a recollection of memories instead of the repetition of an imprecise image. In the spaces that remain between these surfaces, Recording Rituals intends to meditate on the relationship between landscape and archive in the construction of imaginary communities and material memory.

The film uses natural history footage—human desire, spermatozoa, even cellular division—and sensual contemporary shots to dazzling effect. Is it mitosis or meiosis going on in there? Hard to tell, but either way, reproduction is a theme entirely at one with the band’s carnal sound.

The whale forever exists, like utopia, as a parable, a myth, and a nightmare – caught between the wide open ocean and our two-dimensional confinement, between reality and imagination. We Account the Whale Immortal, an ever-changing film and a one off performance, explores the arrival of three mythic whales in the Thames, from the 17th to the 21st century, as evocative emblems of utopian intent.
