Argument [1978] McCall & Tyndall - image: argosarts

ARGUMENT is a dense and provocative long-form essay examining a single issue of the New York Times magazine. Three male voices rigorously dissect the publication and simultaneously reflecting on the role of the filmmaker and the possibility of radical film practice. Reading image as text and text as image, ARGUMENT is relentless in its analysis, and stylistically beautiful.

Writer in Residence [2011] Sutcliffe - image: frieze

WRITER IN RESIDENCE continues Sutcliffe’s interest in collage as a means by which to shake certainty and to surreptitiously undermine. Taking the form of a a TV-style interview, Sutcliffe deftly combines and complicates references from the writing of Thomas Mann and Colin Wilson.
