Every Time I See Your Picture I Cry

Canada 2008, 60 min performance, Written, Illustrated and Performed by Daniel Barrow

Original Soundtrack by Amy Linton

Awarded the 2008 Images Prize at its premiere, Daniel Barrow's newest "manual animation" combines overhead projection with video, music, and live narration to tell the story of a garbage man with a vision to create an independent phone book chronicling the lives of each person in his city. In the late hours of the night, he sifts through garbage, collecting personal information and then traces pictures of each citizen through the windows of their homes as they sleep. What he doesn't yet realize is that a deranged killer is trailing him, murdering each citizen he includes in his book, thus rendering his cataloging efforts obsolete. The garbageman is a failed artist who fears becoming subject to the grip of something overwhelming. This animation traces his attempts to slow down and creatively reflect, in a process of coming to terms with his own self-loathing and fear.

Fri, Feb 12 @ 9pm @ Metro Cinema (9828 101A Ave)

Tickets for the performance are $10, or $8 for students, seniors, and members of MZD / FAVA.
