Family History | Shelley Jordon
USA 2009 | 3 min. Art & Animation
Family History in an animated painting that explores issues of vulnerability and risk and how each new experience is filtered through our perceptions of previous ones. The process of creating Family History, on a single sheet of paper by repeatedly layering new images over old becomes a metaphor for life itself; the earlier images may be buried, but remain integral to the character of the finished piece.

Big Geezer | Work in Progress
Europe 2009 | 22 min. Documentary with subtitles
The Big Geezers Tour 2007 – a Carhartt paint trip through Scandinavia and East Europe. Eight respected artists are hitting the road in a giant night liner to join forces and spread love, peace and friendship across the cities. Microbo (Italy), Joska (Germany), Jeremy Fish (USA), Wayne Horse (Netherlands), Bo 130 (Italy), The London Police (UK), Galo (Italy) and Will Barras (UK) – all part of the Big Geezers family. Copenhagen, Oslo, Warsaw, Budapest, Vienna, and Bratislava – 6 Stops and 5500km in 3 weeks. The term “Big Geezers” stands for a group of artists doing something together. Originally the idea comes from Chaz, the man behind the London Police. He is the one uniting all the Big Geezers to one force – in this case a paint trip. The Big Geezers Family is huge, and not everyone has time to go on tour, but a good representation of members will go on tour and join their talents to create some remarkable works. All along the road the Big Geezers will spread their message of friendship and respect. At each stop they paint it will be a great get together.

New Brow | Tanem Davidson
USA 2009 | 77 min. Documentary
First hand accounts from the artists, galleries and collectors who started and continue the new american art movement. Pop Surrealism and Low Brow is a wide spread populist art movement with origins in Low Brow art, underground comix, punk music, hotrod street culture, Kustum culture, Street Art, Graffiti, Graphic Design, Tattoo, Surf Culture, Tiki Culture and other California sub-cultures. This is not a current version of Modern Pop Art. This a new movement, a new thinking in the art world. These are the artists that will inspire a new generation. Just as artists from the expressionist, Ab-Ex and Pop Art periods their importance was unrealised until many years after they were 'discovered'. Most of the public has already seen these new artists through their other work, ad campaigns, tshirts, album covers and graphic design. Watch as this new movement rises from the streets and into the galleries.
