R. Bruce Elder (Canada, 2003, 106 minutes)

The third production of Elder’s film cycle THE BOOK OF PRAISE, in this work Elder presents a hybrid of analogue and digital techniques in which chemical transformations of the image are combined with electrical modifications to produce a fantasia of vibrantly coloured alchemical forms that suggest an erotic wonder at all the world’s surfaces.

Going on it’s third year, Peripheries Experimental Film & Video Festival is a yearly, non-competitive experimental showcase, which serves to highlight contemporary works of experimental film, as well as screening significant historical works for the purpose of expanding awareness and appreciation for the experimental mode of filmmaking and its contemporary practitioners, both international and domestic.
