The CCW AMI screening took place last night at South London Gallery. Overall the experience was quite bad. The film we submitted had been pixelated beyond belief and the sub woofer connected to the audio equipment sounded like something from a teenagers Vauxhall Nova, it drowned alot of the speech out of Milo's part and massively exaggerated any wind noise in mine. Along with these technical errors, I realised how much effect it has on the perception of your work when being part of a show-reel. All the other films were deadly serious conceptual pieces about dancers interpreting speech or space or notions of authorship, meaning that our film had a high chance of being lumped in to the same pool of ideas. I would probably choose not to be involved in a screening like this again unless it was curated more specifically. It also made me think the film was probably not best suited for a conformed screening environment and to plan an installation based one for the degree show is a good idea.
