Sleep Has Her House (w/ Scott Barley)

Published: May 11, 2019, 8:10 a.m.

b'Scott Barley makes sublime, juddering, immersive, multi-sensory films. They drift across an experimental, nature doc, slow cinema axis - sometimes with brute force and sometimes with an aching tranquility. In a few years he has amassed a formidable filmography of short film work and in 2017 presented his debut feature, Sleep Has Her House, to the world.\\nIn late 2018, Scott travelled to the School of Film & Television at Falmouth University where he and his film held the audience rapt. That conversation is presented here in full, bookended by Neil and Dario getting to grips with a piece of work that both invites and defies interpretation. They also, as is customary, talk about feeling and meaning in cinema, the type of cinema that needs and deserves attention from a podcast like this and film culture in general, and the overwhelming and altering experience of Scott\\u2019s work.\\nThroughout the episode there is audio from Scott\\u2019s short films, which can be found on his Vimeo page here, and from his music, which can be bought on Bandcamp here. Tracks featured are To The Lighthouse, Nebulae and Sleep Has Her House.\\nA special thank you to Dr Kingsley Marshall and Film at Falmouth for making this episode possible.\\nIn closing, the episode features more pauses and collecting of thoughts than normal. Rather than edit a lot of the indecisiveness out, we\\u2019ve kept it in, because it felt right in this instance, because the film in question had a greater impact on us in that regard than normal. It is a really special piece of work. We thank Scott for sharing it with us, and can\\u2019t wait to hear what you make of this talk and Scott\\u2019s films.\\xa0\\nAlso listen on:\\niTunes:\\xa0https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-cinematologists-podcast/id981479854?mt=2\\nWebsite:\\xa0www.cinematologists.com\\nPlayerFM:\\xa0https://player.fm/series/series-2416725\\nSpotify:\\xa0https://open.spotify.com/show/0RjNz8XDkLdbKZuj9Pktyh\\nPatreon:\\xa0https://www.patreon.com/cinematologists'
