A series of microfilms representing seven of history’s most significant Christian martyrs. Made from an exhaustive manipulation of anonymous super8 film, Dramatis Personae makes us reflect on the recycling of images and notions of authorship, and also offers a rereading of Catholic iconography.

A film about the rhythm of things. Our own internal rhythm; our collective rhythm; the intrinsic rhythm of the spaces we live in. A vision of how we perceive time as we walk around surrounded by concrete.
