CECELIA CHAPMAN : FILM

SpaceLife Dreams 2022, speculative architectural scheme evoked in haiku poem from Planet of Dreams 2022. The film conjures a free-floating community design connected in a spider-web of moon dust. A robot-spun, space rebel tribal-communal future outside the low orbit feudal, neo-techno, global-corporate order. Jeff Crouch music. NASA images.

Demon Springs 2025, from MauMau Blood Dreams, pursuing the origins of story in the designs carved in rocks within the neolithic ceremonial landscape of Galicia. I borrowed and cut-up stories, made new ones, reversed roles, changed outcomes - to pursue a new narrative. Ongoing...

The Last Time Tomorrow from Planet of Dreams 2022. Deforestation is happening so fast, consider your dream, your dream house materials....the consequences of your dream. Portugal. Planet of Dreams multi-media series 2022 proposes radical dream-based practices for earth and solar system commons stewardship.Suszarnia Gallery, Włocławek, Poland, 2025

Nomad Dreams, the Sorceress, the Flying Saucer and the Moon. South Carolina, once part of the Spanish Empire Territory's search for El Dorado, is haunted by the dreams of adventurers, conquistadores, pirates, hunted Indians and runaway slaves. Its present inhabitants, world class polo farms, Aiken city voted DreamTown USA 2018, and the US army's largest training camps are haunted by the Cold War 198,046 acre Savannah River Site nuclear technology and plutonium storage site 15 minutes down the road from Aiken. One of the most contaminated places on earth.

Round the Clock 2023. A short film about time. Six hours of a day in haiku verse, and how we arrange our lives. Jeff Crouch music.

Contemplates human relationships with the natural environment. The title is attributed to the legendary Tang era (618–907) Dao-poets Shide and Han Shan. The two hermits living in nature, depicted laughing and pointing at the moon in Asian painting for centuries, poet Gary Snyder’s 1950’s translations of selected Cold Mountain poems, and characterisation of the poet-bums, are realised in Jack Kerouac’s 1958 novel, The Dharma Bums. Rafael Gonzalez music.

38th Stuttgarter Filmwinter Festival, Stuttgart, Germany, January 15-22.2025

Tomorrow is Forever, from Love Fugitif 2021. Made in response to the frightening and dystopic year of the covid virus, Love Fugitif's nine short, haiku videos examine the only constant in our life, love. Diana Magallon, Jeff Crouch, Jeff Harrison, Rafael Gonzalez music.

In Dear Robot 2018, a personal housebot goes rogue on an emergency disaster relief mission. Diana Magallon and Jeff Crouch music.

Hey Marty, from WatchFiends 2020. One of six films that examine challenges humanity faces, plague, global warming, AI surveillance, ethics, space mining and migration, and apocalypse. Jeff Crouch music.

Last Exit, from Club Paradise 2019, juxtaposes poetry dialogue with screen grabs from the 1945 noir Club Paradise film released the same year the US bombed Hiroshima and Hitler died. Last Exit remix becomes a romantic vacation advertisement that comments on perception, storytelling and propaganda.

Club Paradise: vacation culture, consciousness and capitalism 2019. The marketing of holiday. The vacation migration is compared to early nomadic tribes led by their shaman on the tracks of game. But now, the game pursued is a state of mind advanced by corporate interests to produce a workers' consciousness tolerant of capitalist slavery.
