CANDELA! Cuban side-tracks

"This half-hour of Cuban video is all very recently produced, most of them through “Evolucion Estipulada”, a workshop project and exhibition I was involved in. It is not chosen among the mainstream of Cuban contemporary art, but represents a group of contacts I have developed during several stays in Cuba and through my close co-operation with Cuban artist Alexis Parra (Pucho). The works presented have in common an interest in Cuban daily life and culture along with a certain critical attitude. The works are produced with very simple technical means, video and sound are mostly recorded with the video function on digital still cameras."

Marcel Grant, UK What´s Your Name 41? 49 minutes, 35mm, B&W, 2005

What’s Your Name 41? a beautifully shot debut featurette from Marcel Grant, uses the stunning background setting of Venice to tell the story of reknowned artist Sam Clarke, played superbly by Con O'Neill, who is commissioned to create a sculpture for a rich, dying client. In order to find inspiration Sam leaves London for Venice where he sets about creating his masterpiece. It is a journey of self-discovery that forces Sam to face some awkward truths and culminates in a tragic ending for everyone who becomes entangled in Sam’s inner turmoil.

 

Whats your name 41
Con O'Neill, the lead actor , has just been nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award
