Workshop with Scott Barley

OVNI archives invites the Filmmaker with a double activity: a two day workshop and a film screening of his award-winning full-length motion picture Sleep Has Her House (2017).

Scott Barley is a British filmmaker and artist. His work has been associated with the Remodernist and Slow Cinema movements. Since 2015, Barley has almost exclusively shot his films on an iPhone. His films are primarily concerned with the anthropocene, nature, darkness, cosmology, phenomenology and mysticism.

In this workshop, Barley introduce us to his work and goes through his fundamental influences. The filmmaker reflects on his particular way of working as we enter into the night and darkness as the basis of vision.

A strange Sheikh in a barely-glimpsed place: "Destiny is as wide as a hand and four fingers, the width of a grave. The man who owns 40 buses, what does he really have? The man who owns 4 houses, poor fellow! What does he have? A grave!...?" Video Serie: El Hamdulillah Tapes * Pirate Utopias & European Renegadoes.

Part three of a cycle of digital video works I'm beginning to call -after Bataille- "Theory of religion, theory of ecstasy." The other two parts are Mirror and The Zapruder Footage. This tape is inspired by the 11th century Sufi mystical text The Conference of the Birds. It is a text which explores transparency and opacity, multiplicity and unity, narrative and insight, the mundane and the ecstatic. I include a postscript from the text which I included at the end of the tape, and perhaps best responds to the attempt to phrase it: "Seek the trunk of the tree and do not worry whether the branches do or do not exist."

Dream stories. Dreams as a passage into parallel worlds, erasing the limits between the real and the unreal, between life and death.

In Mexico there is a cult that is rapidly growing- the cult of Saint Death. This female grim reaper, considered a saint by followers but Satanic by the Catholic Church, is worshipped by people whose lives are filled with danger and/or violence- criminals, gang members, transvestites, sick people, drug addicts, and families living in rough neighborhoods. "La Santa Muerte" examines the origins of the cult and takes us on a tour of the altars, jails, and neighborhoods in Mexico where the saint's most devoted followers can be found.
