Variant Chants(1983)
A sometimes very rapid montage of stills & short clips referencing aspects of filmmaking, as well as my own paintings on glass and photographs. So then -- a film about filmmaking, a dervish dance, a celebration of light, color, movement and all the charged beauty I was capable of then, or since. Super-8, silent, non-narrative. - Joseph Bernard

Time Consciousness(ko)
Time-Consciousness offers four mutually contradictory versions of a series of events. The constant factors are a middle-aged poet with a gammy leg, a prostitute who may or may not be dead, and the woman’s humble room (which may or may not be tidy), where the poet does his writing. Asking "What did happen at 9:20 that evening?," the film underlines the unreliability of memory and the impossibility of objectivity.
