Habitat

Rose Lowder 2006 France Experimental color 6min French 16mm
In this film we move away from the notion of a work preconceived to adjust the visual characteristics of the image in order to allow us to enter the temporal dimension of a pond full of frogs. In front of such creatures that tend to be elusive there arises a question of more general interest as to how can one record moments that are meaningful, how can one render visible, present a moment that is alive and connect the items forming the different recorded moments up together?

Director

Rose Lowder

Lowder trained as a painter and sculptor in Lima, Peru and London before turning to filmmaking in 1977 after studying with Jean Rouch. Her practice is grounded in her interest in radical architecture, colour theory and the landscapes of her adoptive home in the south of France. Her engagement with ways of living and filming will be explored alongside the meticulous design, composition and production of her films. Lowder is committed to filmmaking as an ecological practice inseparable from her lifelong collecting and championing of non-commercial cinema.
