metamedia

metamedia productions ltd ran from 1994 to 2005. It was set up by Roland Denning and artist/curator/director Mike Stubbs to make arts-based film and video productions and ran a digital edit suite in Berwick Street, Soho.


metamedia productions include:

RESISTOR

Director : Mike Stubbs


A dance film shot mostly in close-up for the BBC2 Dance For The Camera series. Performed and choreographed by Maria Voortman and Roberto De Jonge to a specially recorded version of Purcell’s Resistance Is But Vain remixed by David Shea. Love, betrayal and a swinging pendulum.




















LITTLE ENGLAND


metamedia/DV/1998/4m 35s

Mike Stubbs/Roland Denning/Kypros Kyprianou



Mike had the idea of filming a steam fair in Yorkshire so we went along without being too sure what would result. Something seem to emerge that connected with the themes of our previous work. Mark Sedgwick composed the music, I found some words from the soundtrack of On Which We Serve and Kyp put it all together.

Producer/Lighting Cameraman : Roland Denning

Editor : Kypros Kyprianou

We commissioned Ulf Langheinrich to write a score inspired by the massive machines that dug the opencast coalfields of Wolfen Bitterfeld in the former German Democratic Republic where Ulf grew up.
