An absurd fight under the hot schining sun...

As Best I Can Remember is a reflection on the life of Sam Mattise from his youth, through World War II, his family, and his dairy business in Jermyn, Pennsylvania. This short portrait uniquely presents a story of early-mid 1900s American culture told by a man who lived through it.

Based on dozens of original scene-of-crime photos from the period 1940-1970 and contemporary written text, SPIRIT PATROL weaves an evocative tale of intrigue, betrayal and darkness set in Sydney in a period of intense cultural change and personal disruption. SPIRIT PATROL unfolds across the city - from the port, to drab suburban yards, from the seaside and the badlands of the urban fringe, into nocturnal back-rooms. The resolute B/W images, rhythmic composition, and haunting cinematic sound touch on the austerity and uncertainty of current times. SPIRIT PATROL is a new video by Ross Gibson and Kate Richards in the LIFE AFTER WARTIME suite - a significant body of Australian electronic media art created since 1999.
