Babies on the Sun
“Babies on the Sun” offers nostalgic, weathered images of “childhood” inspired by the song of the same name by the band Sparklehorse. The textured and layered style of the film gives the impression of blurred memories floating in the subconscious mind. The images, half visible, are abstracted through a process of visual degradation, suggesting the effect of time on memory, and mystified through collage, revealing the non-linear configurations of memory where images dwell in interesting and emotionally cumulative juxtapositions.

Thirst
“Tammy Ballaban wants to leave her mark, to be remembered, to stay safe. So she stops eating. ‘Thirst’ is an unconventional and beautifully structured meditation about eating disorders, hunger and desire, our need for identity, and control. A sumptuous collage of image and sound reflects the amorphous dialectic between conscious and unconscious drives.” – Lynne Fernie Selected screenings: Documentary Channel (Ontario), broadcast, 2006; Toronto Worldwide Short Film Festival, 2002; Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, Toronto, 2002; Taiwan International Documentary Film Festival, 2002.

Babble on Palms, The
The “Babble on Palms” is a lush and vibrant cameraless animation, combining found footage, scratch and inking techniques with the universal language of music.

C’est la vie
“A mini-presentation of consciousness dealing with cosmos. The world in a grain of sand. Connections between life, death, and the world are neither static nor symmetrical but flowing and intuitive. The movement of emulsion through which images are seen is like the mind trying to retrieve and put things together. “C’est la vie” is a positive muscular little thing.” – Rae Davis Sound by Rainer Wiens.

Sexual Meditations: Office Suite
This film evolves from several years’ observation of the sexual energy, which charges the world of business and the qualities of palatial environ which this energy often creates. It is one of the most perfect films that has been given to me to make. (SB)

Sexual Meditations: Hotel
This film takes its cue from that ultimate situation of Sex/Med/masturbation – the loft-and-lonely hotel room. It is thus easily twice the length and complexity of any other in the series. (SB)
