Commissioned to make a Super 8 film in celebration of the 18th anniversary of the Echo Park Film Center in Los Angeles, Sharlene Bamboat and Terra Long each took a roll and began a correspondence. Fragments of text, drawings, and divination techniques were shared and translated into images. Chasing the ephemeral, building a language of collaboration, The Stammering Alphabet is a playful correspondence film. Milja Viita was invited to collaborate in music into the film The Stammering Alphabet.

STILL LIFE WITH MARY (POL & FIN)

Still Life with Mary is a moving image concert and installation. Film was expecially made for the cello, by examining the rural landscape and villagers in south Poland through the lenses of Bolex. Not visualizing the music, but rather building an expanded diary of the specific days of the three strangers randomly put together. 16mm B/W -film, glass objects, 2012. Produced by Poike ry for Capital of Culture Turku in 2011.
