FW:Fwd
is an exhibition of viral films by international artists which
explores new ways of accessing work online. This site will
offer an ongoing, rolling programme of short films selected
by Red
Leader Industries, who initiated the project, plus guest
curators. You are looking at the opening selection of films
which have been chosen for their diversity - of approach,
content and technique. Another collection of films will be
added in six months time.
FW:Fwd was recently reviewed on the BBC website Online

DOYLE
Current, 2001 (May)
American video artists Brian Doyle has shown his work in both
galleries and film festivals throughout America and Europe.
Current recently won the Special Jury Prize for New York
City at the New York Underground Film Festival. Shot during
the Yankees ticker tape parade and edited almost a year before
anyone could anticipate the devastation of September 11th, Current
creates a desolate and paranoid metropolis, blanketed in a tangled
mass of information.

Yellow Wallpaper, 2001
Victoria Bickell graduated from Goldsmiths College in 2000
and has since exhibited at Gasworks Gallery, The Lux Centre
and in festivals in Europe and Canada. Using traditional hand
drawn animation techniques she depicts sensual scenes of women
trapped in an endless moment of enjoyment or despair. Here
she is showing for the first time Yellow Wallpaper,
an unsettling film inspired by a book of the same name by
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, in which a woman crawls on her hands
in an endless loop as dough-like excretions seep and spread
from her body.

Chair 4/02, 2002
Jesse Ball is a writer, artist and filmmaker born in New York,
who currently lives in Reykjavik. CHAIR 4/02 was filmed
with Jesse Stiles, an electronic musician and artist living
in New York. Both are part of the IRUNRAP
Foundation, dedicated to the proliferation of independent
art and music. CHAIR 4/02 is concerned with conveying
both the innate strangeness of a condemned landscape, and
a sense of the occupation of that landscape.

We Are You, 2001
Johanne Nissen was born in Denmark and now lives and works
in London. She graduated from Goldsmiths College in 2001 and
has shown her films in emergandsee, Curzon Cinema and
the Student Film & Video Award at Beck's Futures 2001.
In We Are You, Nissen plays with still image and the
notion of the cinema close up to transform herself into a
variety of different characters, proving how easily a superficial
image change can alter the way in which people are represented.

Would for Trees, 2002
Liane Lang’s films, animations and photography have been shown
in numerous galleries including Tate Modern Visitor's Centre,
Saatchi Gallery, ICA and PS1, in solo exhibitions in both
Vienna and New York and festivals throughout Europe. Lang
is best known for her stop-frame animation, using models made
of plasticine, clay or latex which often perform sensual and
at times obsessive actions. For FW:Fwd we are showing
a new piece of work, Would for Trees. Shot on Super8,
the film uses time-lapse photography to capture and exaggerate
the subtle changes in light and sound within a landscape.
