THE DISCLAIMER: factfictionfactfictionfactfiction
Video stills from our new project THE DISCLAIMER. Poking fun at the lines between fact and fiction in film. Museum display cases as mini film sets / backdrops. Collecting ‘fiction disclaimer’ texts from the history of cinema. Mashing it all together. Inspired by the internet and Rasputan.

THE DISCLAIMER: Festival Map + About
Myself and Jess Dubblu have teamed up again to create a new video work ‘The Disclaimer’ for our fave festival West Projections. Drawing on our shared interests in narrative film and documentary, we explore how language and directives shape perceptions of truth. 'The Disclaimer' is a playful look at the faith we put in cinema and it's storytelling abilities.
The majority of films we watch are concluded with variations of the following phrase - All characters and events depicted in this film are entirely fictitious. Any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. We were intrigued to learn that the disclaimer text was developed in response to controversy surrounding the truth of storytelling in the biopic 1930’s film Rasputin and the Empress.
'The Disclaimer' incorporates original and recreated disclaimer texts from films spanning almost 80 years. From the ornate calligraphy on rich backgrounds of the 40’s to the minimal white fonts on plain black of current films. Furthering the merging of fact and fiction, footage from natural history displays from museums is cut through. These silent reconstructed historical stories flow through the domineering text of the disclaimer as filmic backdrops.
SHOWING: Continuously screening At Bar Josephine 3rd - 26th August 2018.
EVENT: A special popup cinema installation and artist talk by me n Jess will be held on 24th August, 6pm. Drop into Bar Josephine or book to attend as a part of a walking tour of the festival here.
