Private Practice. Four films that reveal the intimate and pleasurable  
process of looking; each filmmaker allowing the subtle use of  
intuition and play to create and inform their own individual personal  
language. curated by Jacqueline Holt.

Distant Things, Katy Woods (UK, 2006, 10mins, video)
In her film Distant Things, Katy Woods animates micro film by  
standing a video camera in front of the monitor and speedily flicking  
through thousands of images. She then pauses for a few seconds  
resting on an image she likes the look of. Woods has an eye for a  
satisfying image. She loves a bird. Images of birds are paused at  
frequently. In a world saturated with visual images How does one make  
a choice? Ones own intuition seems as successful as any. Katy Woods  
is currently a LUX Associate Artist.

Daylight Moon, Lewis Klahr (USA, 2003, sound, colour, 14 mins, 16mm)
There are things I could say about Daylight Moon but very few I want  
to before someone sees it. But I will say this: of all the films  
I’ve made using collage to muck around in the past, this one gets  
the closest to what I’m after. - LK

Cornell 1965, Lawrence Jordan (USA, 1978, sound, colour, 9 mins, 16mm)
‘In 1965 I worked as Joseph Cornell's assistant on boxes and films.  
I filmed his work extensively, and as much as I could of him. (It is  
the only film footage that exists of Cornell.) Until 1978 I couldn't  
edit the film. When I finally learned it would be a kind of personal  
journalistic tribute to the man who taught me so much, it fell  
together. What you see are the close-up interiors of many Cornell  
boxes, some collages, and a few shots of Joseph. You hear the things  
he said to me (as I recall them) and the thoughts I think about it  
all.’ LJ

Afternoon (March 22, 1999), Steve Reinke (Canada, 1999, 23 mins, video)
Home-movie-like video in which the maker films and 'lives' a specific  
afternoon from his life. The artist spends the afternoon in his tiny  
apartment listening to music he dislikes and ruminating on what it  
means to be an artist. All the edits are in-camera and the monologues  
and songs are largely improvised.
