What's My Name
(Rodreguez King-Dorset, 2000)
Plot: A film about Jacob (Rodreguez King-Dorset), a young black man living in rural England whose bizarre behaviour (he is obsessed with Muhammed Ali) was eventually diaganosed as schizophrenia.
Why should I watch it at Glastonbury?
Because it raises the big question about whether the philosophy of community care itself is enough to protect the welfare of Jacob and the well being of those nearest to him. And because the actor/director, Rodreguez King-Dorset, is an amazing talent. This is an extraordinary film.
If this film were a song it would be:
Mercy Me.
The Eleventh Hour
The Eleventh Hour plays with time -- you wait and suffer with the Nightwatchman as time drags for him at the beginning of the film - a short space of time seems to take an eternity to pass; then time speeds up, and the Nightwatchman physically and mentally falls to pieces. We are trapped like the Nightwatchman, and like him we want to escape. But at what cost?
The Eleventh Hour was part-financed by an award scheme run by The London Film and Video Development Agency inviting ubmissions of short film treatments on the subject of time. Some people have likened a short film to a short story, however I like to think of a short film more as poetry - it allows me the freedom to create mood and reflect psychological states by using different combinations of picture and sound. The images are the words, and the music and editing are like the rhythm of a verse. Film is an ideal medium to explore the meaning of time - you can slow it down, speed it up, freeze it, make it go backwards, and short films lend themselves perfectly to experimenting with this concept.
For more films, see the Groovy Movie Mobile solar powered cinema in the Green Futures Field, and check out the Outside Theatre Stage (Loopy Films, 1am 'til dawn ...)
Oh, and football : some of the Euro 2000 matches will be shown on the cinema; highlights programmes of other matches may be shown on the screens at the Pyramid after the bands finish.
