Encounters in Light (2020)

Encounters in Light is the poetic documentation of two artists friends and lovers The film eschews any biographical structure and instead looks at the ways these two artists are bound by time and light Lawrence Jordan and Joanna McClure have extensive bodies of work between them The film interweaves Joannas poetry Lawrences films personal interviews and emotive imagery to produce a sensory engagement with a long lasting friendship and artistic practice An understanding of mortality is ever present and the film lets that feeling permeate throughout How does one relate to years of love friendship and art How does it resonate in the present moment In the film there is a sense of boundlessness and understanding that indeed time dissolves all boundaries until there is only the possibility of light
