Lights

An artificial constellation sparkles in a variation of micro-movements that interfere with a luminescent macro-mass which is also in movement. Visual dissonance, phase shift, and divergence of light sources emerge.

Summer evenings and lighting bugs go hand in hand. It’s a magical moment in which right as the sun sets, a new set of lights fill the night time sky. Marshall the monster lives for the stars. The stars can’t shine unless they’re all collected, and Marshall knows where to find them. Join Marshall as it goes on a journey to bring home the twinkling stars in the sky.

One of the major attractions are the Northern lights – or the Aurora Borealis -even though there is no guarantee that the travellers will be able to see those elusive lights on their journey. In this short film we follow one of Iceland´s best known photographers, Ragnar Th. Sigurdsson, on his chase of the Northern lights. He takes photographers from all over the world on photograpic tours, tells us how to film the lights and in between we see fabulous shots of the lights - as well as graphic explainations of their existence and chance of appearance.

The film contains colors that combine and flow into others. Snow-like objects can also be seen falling over the screen. Although when Belson made the film he did not intend to capture or recreate the aurora borealis, Belson soon realized when he was done making the film that the film did just that. For that reason Belson gave named the film "Northern Lights." After finishing the film, Belson saw footage of the aurora borealis and realized just how close he came to capturing what the northern lights actually look like.

The Lights In The Sky Tour took place between July and December 2008 in North America and South America in support of Ghosts I-IV and The Slip. The tour was also essentially supporting Year Zero for the audiences it reached, as the Performance 2007 tour had not covered those parts of the world.

The Birth of the Lightsaber is a Video Documentary included in the 2004 DVD of the Star Wars original trilogy. It revealed the concept of the Lightsaber and how it was designed to appear realistic on the silver screen.

Here is a short film produced by the UK 9.5mm film club 'Group 9.5' to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the 9.5mm 'home movie' film size in 1972. Entitled "Lights Out ... And The Stars Appear", (the title is based on a Pathescope advertisement fron the 1930s), it describes the start and history of this unique film gauge originally developed by the French Pathe-Freres company.

Lights on

Bringing Lights Forward describes the film set through the manipulation of lights on stands. A woman is seen placing three lamp stands at the center, left, and right of the screen and then moving them gradually into the foreground - the surface of the screen- in several distinct stages. As she makes a move she turns the lights on and off. Finally she clusters the three stands at the center of the screen but in such a way that the lamps themselves, the light source for the film, are cut off by the top of the frame yet still illuminating the screen. The woman walks off-screen once she has completed this action. The placement and movement of the lamp stands and the use of negative in this film serve as a literal demonstration of the way in which light affects the perceptual quality of the film image.

This is a live Blu Ray disc from 2019 Marillion Weekend from Port Zelande and a Show from Leicester. We are delighted, and somewhat relieved, to present a record of the last Marillion Weekend, from what has become the distant past! Which is half the reason for calling the two-film set ‘Distant Lights’ - the other half, of course, being a nod to a lyric from the Happiness Is The Road album, which was the centrepiece of the 2019 Sunday night show. Just to quash any speculation, the delay in releasing these films was not so much caused by any turn of events, as by everyone having been consumed by the creation of An Hour Before It’s Dark over the last couple of years.

Painting Lights is about a light source in reverse: how, with negative film, light becomes a source of blackness instead of illumination -how the absence of light creates a light (or white) frame, and flattens out a three-dimensional room space to a two dimensional image in which there are only flat lines on the screen. The film begins with a woman in deep space, on a ladder, painting a vertical tube-light on one side of the screen with "White" paint. As she works, there is less and less light-the dark reflections of light on the floor disappear and the frame becomes whiter. She paints a second light, continuing to white out the frame, and then she dis-appears, leaving nothing except a few traces of black where the lights have been painted over.

A night security guard and a cleaner in opposite office blocks have a interesting courtship.
