Broken Windows By Richard O'Sullivan Revised Notes 9/01/10 2010, 5:14m, DV, Stereo, Colour, Single-Channel. Broken Windows consists of the last footage shot with a digital camcorder: these are the dying gasps of the camera. On one level, the piece might serve as a de-mystification of the digital image; the degradation of the footage broadly implies the processes by which the real world is interpreted as video. Video's constitution of the world as image is laid bare, and it is disconcerting to see the torturous decay of the material as the camera fights to maintain its simulation of the world. On another level, however, the piece implies the impossible mystery of most technology for most viewers. The functioning of the camera, evident in the image only when it fails as here, is something which most of us can't - or don't want to - understand. We comprehend technology so little, that we must engage with it on a purely aesthetic level as a source of magic or wonder.

According to an old Kyrgz proverb, a good marriage always begins with tears... When a Kyrgyz man decides to marry, he often abducts the woman he has chosen. Typically, he takes several friends, hires a car, stakes out his bride-to-be's movements, and snatches her off the street. This first film ever to document the ancient custom of bride-kidnapping which is a common way of marrying in Kyrgyzstan, follows the dramatic stories of four of these non-consensual kidnappings.
