The Age of Reason
ES ES-OVNI RSC-2494 · Item · 2004
Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

This is the fifth and final film in David MacDougall's Doon School Quintet, an intimate study of India's most prestigious boys' boarding school. In this film he focuses on the life of one student whom he discovers at the school. The film explores the thoughts and feelings of Abhishek, a 12-year-old from Nepal, during his first days and weeks as a Doon student. This is at once the story of the encounter between a filmmaker and his subject and a glimpse of the mind of a child at “the age of reason.”
The Adventure of a Photographer
ES ES-OVNI RSC-3295 · Item · 2006

Inspired by Italo Calvino's short story by the eponymous title, the video self-reflects on the sensuality of the different mediums: video, b/w film, slide projection, while the different registers of sound (voice over and sound design), are constructed to create an at times cohesive and at times disjunctive narrative. The work also plays on notions of the autobiographical, while feminizing Calvino's text in a contemporary framework. Using documentary images from a personal archive as well as constructed images, this piece, like Calvino's, is a tale of love and technology.

All of this within the stunning setting of the Amazon jungle, where many ethnic groups had lived in harmony since time immemorial. There is a legal process pending against Texaco for damages, in Ecuador and the U.S.
