Circles

High school doesn't really end after graduation. Whether you like it or not, it follows you around wherever you go. It may be in the back of your head, but it's there. Sometimes it comes out when you're around your old classmates, and you revert back to your 18 year old self, despite your best efforts. For Lucas, Noah, Jessie, Abby, April and Tyler, their upcoming 10 year high school reunion keeps inching closer and making them realize all of this. Each of them wants to separate themselves from their high school persona, for different reasons, but things keep happening to make them even closer to their former selves.

As he has done countless times before, Cris (Archie de Calma) is riding the jeepney bus along the Elliptical Road bordering the Quezon Memorial Circle. Suddenly a robbery begins and he finds himself being held at knife point. As his life passes before his eyes, he asks the question, what could I have done in the past to save me from this? "Circles" tells the story of Cris' life in the days leading up to the robbery. As a trader at Quezon Memorial Circle, he deals with all levels of Filipino society. From fruit sellers to student protesters to male hookers all lives intersect at the park and it's historical landmarks. As brave and creative as Pablo's past features ("Doubt", "Bathhouse") and shot gorilla style on a shoe string budget,"Circles" promises to be all things to all gay people: entertainment, fable and erotica.

The geometry of circles and ellipses is explored using the Roman Colosseum as an example. Using the Pantheon as another practical example, this program explores the concepts of central and intercepted angles, arc segments and chords. The Etude du Cinéma de l’Ecole de Barcelona (a short-lived group that appeared in Spain in the 1960s) offers the opportunity to consider the distrust of the avant-gardes with regard to narrative. The lacunar narration whose principle the School of Barcelona adopts goes against the traditional narrative and its quest for coherence and continuity. She invites the viewer to make the disconcerting experience of unbinding and emptiness. Such an approach involves an ethical posture. The Barcelona School follows in the footsteps of a modernity that intends to move away from an alienating authoritarian discourse and claims to make the spectator a partner in creation.

A story of tangled relationships. A couple on the verge of separation, neither wanting to take the leap and end what they both know isn't working. Exploring the fear of being single.

This film is a collaboration between Neil Henderson and visual artist Polly Read. The film documents drawings the audience made during a performance given by the musician Evan Parker. Polly Read gave each member of the audience a small booklet and pencil; on each page a circle has been drawn. The audience responded to the music over the course of the performance by drawing in the book. The film animates these images bringing them back into conflict with one of the musical pieces performed on the night. The results are a mixture of abstract marks, impressionistic portraits, and observations about other audience members. To what extent can, do these drawings reflect the music played during the evening?
