Twin City Twist
A silent dance documenting a brief visit to Minneapolis in the fall of 2022. A reflection on the sleeping city's tumultuous recent history through a recollected interaction and a plea for continued disturbance.
An entry in an ongoing video and film diary series, Twin City Twist was shot on Kodak Tri-X reversal super 8 film with kaleidoscopic lenses. The film was scanned and edited digitally.

Callon Murphy is an amateur filmmaker and software developer currently residing in Kitchener, Ontario on unceded land. His work blends personal memories and formal experiments through various DIY digital and analog techniques. Delivered with sparse sound design and typically without narration, Callon's films and videos deal with the falsity of image-making and the futility of technology.
