A Cold Draft
Lis Rhodes, 1988, UK, 16mm, 30'
Het meest provocatieve aan deze film is dat er verschillende geloofwaardige standpunten worden voorgesteld, zelfs al wordt de vrouw door de ‘Censors’ als gek bestempeld. We voyage into the skull of a woman and peer out to a monumentally static cold waste wit planetary slow motion. It is a bunker-eye view. (Sandra Lahire)
A Cold Draft is drawn from (a drawing of) the conditions produced by ‘liberal’ economics in the UK in the 1980’s. Truth is reckless, certainty a sham, but such is faith in repetition that line by line certainty is drawn. The account may be fictitious, a representation, but the events are the result of the imposition of private ownership. (Lis Rhodes)
