Films: shorts and documentaries
​
Chris has made number of short films over the years: a psychological thriller "Again'; the comedy "Red or White"; documentaries on the last Routemaster bus "One Colour Red", on unbearable heat in the chilli-store in Austin "Hot Source"; a fruity art installation outside London's National Gallery in "Bananas"; a short journey through New Orleans with a Louisiana lawyer in "Southern Man" and a journey from Cornwall to the City of London with the artist Ray Bowler in "Green Ray".
AGAIN
A man's distress scales up when he sees his own car driving ahead of him on the road: same model, same colour, same licence plate. Over days he follows it until he finds out that a double life is twice the trouble.
One colour red
A moving 5 min. film about the Routemaster - the last red London bus - which won best live documentary in a film competition screened at the Brixton Ritzy set to mark the passing of an icon.
Red or white?
Two couples meet for dinner. But the host is highly OCD and after an anguished story about seeing a stranger's 'Day of the Week' socks, he finds it hard to make up his mind which wine to offer them - and even after he has decided he still disagrees with himself!
green ray
Ray Bowler is an artist and thinker living in Cornwall. He decides to pay a visit to the European Bank of Human Development in the City of London - with its giant statue of a reclining Venus outside - to ask them about using art to humanise the sterility of economic projects. Along the way we hear his ideas set against photography that takes us from from Paris, New York, South Africa, and London and back to beautiful Tintagel, Cornwall.
