Return of the Black Tower - Jennet Thomas (United Kingdom, 2008, video, 14:40 min)

A distinguished looking man (performance artist Richrd Layzell) is apparently trapped in an ever changing void of colour, locked in a power play with a perversely operated camera. A mute, caged, charismatic TV presenter het is by turns charming, menacing, educational, confused. At times he appears to have great powers. A voice over tells us extraordinary things – how this man is special – the first man to 'have a baby'. Hallucinogenic flash – frames punctuate the colour field to give us a view of his world's disturbing and alien futuristic logic. A retro Sci-fi critique of representation. A playful meditation on the idiocies of making sense.
