Come to the Edge
Stephen Sutcliffe
UK, video, 2003, 1min, colour, sound
Come to the Edge reveals Sutcliffe's worldview to be exacting, satiric, dark, morbid and peculiarly melancholic.
— Mark Beasley

James Holcombe
UK, 16mm, 2008, 3min, b/w, sound on CD
Grim's Dyke
James Holcombe
UK, 16mm, 2009, 3min, colour, silent
Ben
Emily Wardill
UK, 16mm, 2007, 10min, colour, sound
Ben juxtaposes two psychological case studies: one used by Sigmund Freud to illustrate the idea of 'negative hallucination' (where a patient believes a room full of objects to be empty) and the other regarding a subject called Ben, used by American psychoanalysis students to understand the condition of paranoia.

Still In Cosmos
Makino Takashi
Japan, video, 2009, 18min, colour, sound by Jim O'Rourke with Chris Corsano & Darin Gray
Plane
Joe Mawson
UK, digital video, 2008, 3min 6sec, colour, sound
Plane follows a small aeroplane as it prepares to take off. Played out on the floor of the artist's shared studio, the work explores the role of the studio space as a place of fiction, imagination and the ridiculous, existing in and alongside the real world.
We'll Let You Know
Stephen Sutcliffe
UK, video, 2008, 1min, colour, sound
"Sutcliffe questions a culture of class aspiration and intellectual complacency, undermining the apparent self-confidence of the ambitious young actor [Ian McKellen]."
— Mark Beasley
Horizontal Boundaries
Pat O'Neill
USA, 35mm on video, 2008, 23min, colour, sound by Carl Stone
Pat O'Neil uses recordings of the landscape around Los Angeles as the basis of a rigorous investigation into the horizontal division of of film frames on a motion picture film strip. By transforming the material through compositing and superimposition, the image sequences are horizontally fractured revealing their edges and limits. Arranged in a series of vignettes, 'Horizontal Boundaries' is a complex and disorientating tapestry of sliding horizon lines and shifting tectonics. Carl Stone provides a contrapuntal sonic landscape .
