“Burned, beaten, abandoned, donkeys look back at us humans with indifference, and bray.” David Redmon and Ashley Sabin’s DO DONKEYS ACT– filmed over 5 years––subtly subverts the notion of the “dumb beast” as it captures donkeys communicating emotionally with each other in the midst of healing from human cruelty and neglect.
“Welcome to heaven on earth” is one of few spoken lines in filmmaking duo David Redmon and Ashley Sabin’s latest documentary which puts donkey “actors” centerstage. The camerawork is simple and quietly observant, and the sound design is continuously immersive. No interviews or dialogue interrupt this unobtrusive approach. No explanations by title are given.
19 January, 2017 Happy New Year! We have some exciting news to share. Sanctuary will premiere at Rotterdam Film Festival at the end of January. Very excited to finally share the first of two donkey films! Description from the Rotterdam website below...
Donkeys actively look back at the filmmaker’s gaze in Choreography, an experiential documentary that inverts a vérité or observational approach by showing everyday moments of how donkeys avoid becoming “caught” and transformed into an “unaware” or “natural” image.
A small note to let all film related people know our colorist and title designer, Daniel Stuyck, has his website up and running. If you are looking for someone to do magic to your images check him out here!
There is mystery to the sound and image. The focus is on an animal, but what animal? The image contains subtle movement. Gates slam as percussion to the quiet nighttime sounds. The delicate movement of the animals fur and flesh is contrasted against its sound, almost musical in pitch and tone. The beast creates a symphony of sounds.
A woman awakes from a dream and explores life. Her life is embodied in these images and sounds. Sentient 1 is a poem from lost fragments stitched together creating an evocative journey through time. It is also alive a real thing.
I had a dream.
The dream that we were going to be apart.
Waking up, realizing I am being in a different city in distance where you are in.
I can only talk about my old memories to dreams.
Becoming a dream is an approach toward our memories.
