Mentored by Béla Tarr.

Synopsis

A TV detective who's lost the plot drives aimlessly around the city. Negotiating time and space seem achievable next to solving a murder in a factory, the only witness a robot with the ability to get under the skin with its only two programmed lines: “That interests me” and “What are you afraid of?”

Director’s Biography

Graeme Cole spent ten years making films with the L’Institute Zoom collective in Manchester and Liverpool, before being selected for the first generation of MFA students at Béla Tarr’s film.factory in Sarajevo in 2013. He now continues to work between the Balkans, Manchester, London, and Oslo, and was EMAN#EMARE Artist in Residence at Bandits-Mages, Bourges, in 2017.

Working mainly with Super 8 and other consumer formats, Mr Cole’s films take the language of narrative-based genre movies and infect them with an absurdist sensibility. By adjusting the rules of the genre and inventing new ones, Mr Cole evokes a parallel world with an alternative cinema.
