Biography
Patrick Tarrant is a lecturer in filmmaking at London South Bank University who has written on the portrait films of Pedro Costa (Where Does Your Hidden Smile Lie?) and Ben Rivers (Two Years At Sea). Patrick has made video portraits and observational city films, while developing an innovative hybrid filmmaking method that brings HD video and a 16mm film projector together (in The Take-Up and The Trembling Giant). Patrick's first 16mm film, Phi Phenomenon 2, screens at Experiments in Cinema 2015 and brings the speed and force of an animated materialism to the otherwise calm place of Morgan Fisher's original. Patrick has had films screened at Hong Kong International Film Festival, London Film Festival, Images Toronto, Antimatter, Split Film Festival, Chicago Underground Film Festival, Leeds International Film Festival and Anthology Film Archives. Patrick's installation Planet Usher: An Interactive Home Movie was exhibited at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (Melbourne 2004), Association of Computing Machinery (New York 2004) and Sequences (London).
