FILM

Quaintance's miniatures are an ongoing series of short shorts that are all under four minutes long. Each explores a single formal, conceptual or structural idea. The process of realisation can either be loose and improvisatory, or time intensive and heavily edited. Each of the films use footage shot with a DV camera, mini VHS or High 8 video camera, or ‘found’ footage. Using cheaper and handheld mediums, instead of 16mm (or a larger, more expensive HD digital camera), allows for a quicker, more intuitive and playful approach to production. Quaintance will present five new miniatures in this programme: A Better World, Palace, Strawberries, Numerology and Partners.
