              A Walk With Nigel is a video essay that constructs a dialogue between two artists from two different times, between movement and stillness, between speech and silence. An archaeological study of a community, reawakening the archive in the present. A materialistic study of streets and social relations.

              Actor by Michael Mazière UK, 10 mins, 2010 Video, Black & White, Sound Mazière is best known for his work in which Hollywood fiction and autobiographical fact are distilled into a poetic form. Mazière's work provides an intriguing parallel between the production of meaning in cinema and the operation of the unconscious mind. In this film, Mazière reworks cinema footage in which the actor Alain Delon appears in order to create a new narrative which speaks of cinema, masculinity and the existential and physical erosion of time upon the physical and cinematic body.

              Tells of the horrific forced journey undertaken by thousands of prisoners who surrendered to America's Afghan allies after the siege of Konduz. Bundled into containers, the lucky ones were shot within minutes. The rest suffered an appalling road trip lasting up to four days, clawing at the skin of their fellow prisoners as they licked perspiration and even drank blood from open wounds. Up to 3,000 now lie buried in a mass grave, but this was NOT a simple matter of Afghans killing Afghans. This documentary tells of how American special forces took control of the operation, re-directed the containers carrying the living and dead into the desert and stood by as survivors were shot and buried. And it details how the Pentagon lied to the world in order to cover up its role in the greatest atrocity of the entire Afghan War. This is the documentary they did not want you to see. The documentary was produced over ten months in extremely dangerous circumstances: eyewitnesses were threatened, the film crew went into hiding and our researcher was savagely beaten to within an inch of his life.

              The effects of communism, nationalism and capitalism in the 20th Century and the remedy. The world is led to believe by the so-called civilised Western nations to fear the return of Islam as a way of life. Offering nothing but darkness, backwardness and poverty; barbaric and intolerant the Khilafah state we are told when it is re-established will be the embodiment of all these characteristics, incapable in the modern era of providing any intellectual leadership for mankind.Yet it is the 20th Century, a period which saw the absence of the Khilafah, and which has been dominated by secular ideologies and not Islam, that has entered the history books as the darkest, bloodiest and most intolerant ever witnessed. This documentary explores the effects of the false and incorrect ideologies of capitalism and communism and the shallow and inhumane bond of nationalism. The misery, pain and suffering they were responsible for. So that it can be understood these ideas and not Islam have posed the greatest threats to mankind and if left unchallenged will continue to plunge the world into further turmoil and chaos.

              A family’s place in the wilderness, outside of time; free-range animals and children, junk and nature, all within the most sublime landscape. The work aims at an idea of freedom, which is reflected in the hand-processed Scope format, but is undercut with a sense of foreboding. There’s no particular story; beginning, middle or end, just fragments of lives lived, rituals performed.
