ECOLOGY + Director Q&A
(Sarah Turner, UK 2007, 97’)

ICA CINEMA 1
Saturday 8 March 3:30PM

Jean Genet described the family as the most destructive cell. Sarah Turner’s look at the unsettling side of families takes the themes of destruction and renewal as metaphors in her visually compelling new feature Ecology. Located somewhere between meditation and dream, Ecology is a film in three parts that fuses an exploration of narrative with Turner’s dedication to formal experimentation. Three characters - mother, daughter and son - tell three different stories about the same violent incident recalled as inner monologues, while on holiday at an eco-retreat in Majorca. Shot on location in Spain and England using 23 different camera formats, Ecology is a film of emotional complexity and haunting beauty.

Sarah Turner is an artist who writes and makes films. Her work spans single screen gallery pieces (rooted in the formal preoccupations of the avant-garde from which she emerged) to feature length projects that explore new narrative forms and the cinematic potential of subjective storytelling. All of her films have toured nationally and internationally and several have been broadcast through artists’ showcases on Channel 4.

As part of the Birds Eye Festival 2008 you can contribute to Sarah Turner's upcoming work Overheated Symphony.
