A meditation on the illusion of filmmaking shot behind-the-scenes of a film made on the otherworldly beaches of Sidi Ifni, Morocco.A Distant Episode depicts strange activities with no commentary or dialogue; it appears as a fragment of film, dug up in a distant future in its portrayal of a hazy black-and-white and hallucinogenic world.

Developed through real conversations with women who work as carers and telephone counsellors, this fictionalised account of female helpline workers chronicles the slippage that can occur in their career as they journey out of the city on a work ‘away day’. As they consider the emotional impact of the job, their experiences and interactions with each other become increasingly strange.

Set within an aggregate of hotel rooms and corridors – transposable private and professional settings – From Our Own Correspondent explores the potential for pleasure, horror and utter nothingness abundant in those spaces.

The work examines the spoken, bodily and written construction of the professional encounter. Featuring interviews with news journalists, bloggers and feature writers, the video interrogates the interview process itself.
