5. PUBLISHING
Devotional Cinema, Nathaniel Dorsky. Tuumba Press USA "Devotional Cinema, reprised from filmmaker Nathaniel Dorsky's lecture on religion and cinema at Princeton University, is a rare treasure of penetrating insight into the language of film. In a compelling style, somewhere between a Zen koan and a Victorian love story, Devotional Cinema makes the case for mindful viewing as a transcendent experience. In the process, Dorsky reflects upon the role of filmmaking in faith, prayer, pleasure, and the renewal of the human spirit. For Dorsky, the material nature of film illuminates a path to devotion. Devotional Cinema is a guide for makers and viewers who, like Dorsky, seek the 'elemental glory' of film." Kathleen Tyner. ISBN 1-931157-05-7. http://www.durationpress.com/tuumba

LUX SALON: BJØRN MELHUS
Bjørn Melhus is a media artist who reprocesses recognisable elements of American culture, feature films and daytime television into a humorous, but unsettling, reflection of modern life. From his 16mm student films and early videotapes, through to his more recent, technically seamless, digital productions, Melhus has continued to explore the boundaries between the real world and its fictional counterpart. Further blurring our perception, he performs as every character in each, building a dizzying repertory of doppelgangers.
For the LUX Salon, Bjørn will introduce a selection of single-channel works including his latest, Auto Center Drive (2003), which explores the impact of American cinema on our collective memory. The Oral Thing (2001) parodies tv evangelists, quiz and talk shows, Das Zauberglass (1991) is a self-relflexive melodrama and No Sunshine (1997) a music video for cyber-clones. Bjørn Melhus' first British solo show Primetime is at FACT Liverpool until 7 March 2004 and his evangelistic double-projection Weeping (2001) will be on display as part of the forthcoming Serpentine Gallery exhibition "State of Play".
