Edward and crew.“It's one where the camera less becomes a fly on the wall than a sleeping dog in front of the fireplace, one where the comfort of the subjects gives us a better insight into them.

Matthew unloading car, Macduff.“The Bayview is a quietly arresting portrait of a Northeast Scottish hotel run by American mother Susie and her son Matt, who is of Tongan heritage. Together, they welcome international fishermen hailing from the Philippines to Sri Lanka. Though the Bayview’s residents are temporary, the documentary charts how the friendships forged within its walls have transformed it into a beacon of multicultural solidarity in perpetually unkind times. Ghanaian fishermen tell Susie her cooking reminds them of home; faced by the precarity of their immigration status in the UK (only exacerbated by the pandemic), the Bayview is an invaluable source of comfort on foreign shores.”https://www.edfilmfest.org.uk/latest/young-critics-reviews-bridging-gap-xuanlin-tham <img width="1920" height="1003" width_o="1920" height_o="1003" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b4bb5220301f9da46b9292e0924339550215f42b2028934f67b5890ea09ff5ce/The_Bayview_Susie.jpg" data-mid="157560880" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b4bb5220301f9da46b9292e0924339550215f42b2028934f67b5890ea09ff5ce/The_Bayview_Susie.jpg" />Film still, Susie at The Bayview. https://danielcook.co/The-King-and-I Mon, 16 Mar 2020 10:35:16 +0000 Daniel Cook https://danielcook.co/The-King-and-I <img width="1444" height="964" width_o="1444" height_o="964" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/005025d3659248734d5790027f03ce1f8c5e95b5c4a4add42cd2449e7adec3fb/1.jpg" data-mid="63668145" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/005025d3659248734d5790027f03ce1f8c5e95b5c4a4add42cd2449e7adec3fb/1.jpg" /> Graham &amp; Juliet in front of blue screen for The King and I 2017 Watch it here: Film available upon request The King and I (2017) is my debut film which originally screened at Edinburgh College of Art as part of the Masters of Fine Art degree show.

The film has elements of documentary, behind the scene footage, and performance as boundaries between fact and fiction are clouded. The work calls to mind the 1970’s experiments of Joseph Beuys and Richard Demarco in the Scottish, becoming a study on the passions and motivations of being an artist, as well as the mythic, inspirational call of the wild and primal connections to the sublime natural world.&nbsp; <img width="1500" height="834" width_o="1500" height_o="834" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dd8569f40097617d84c24b1602b684172ccc9be9baedf95d1e588b66f1a4c2d7/1.jpg" data-mid="63594938" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dd8569f40097617d84c24b1602b684172ccc9be9baedf95d1e588b66f1a4c2d7/1.jpg" /> Stills from film, Time, My Dear. 2017
