FINAL ACT is a new a film, photography and installation based project by visual artist Ian Strange.nIn November 2013, Ian Strange in collaboration with cinematographer Alun 'Albol' Bollinger [Lord of the Rings, Heavenly Creatures, The Frighteners] created three new film and photography based artworks incorporating four suburban homes in Christchurch, New Zealand. These homes were located in Christchurch’s residential “Red Zone”, an area containing over 16,000 houses slated for demolition after the devastating 2011 earthquake. FINAL ACT is in part an emotive archive of these Christchurch homes and a continuation of the artist's ongoing exploration of the social and emotional icon of the home.nwww.IanStrange.comnnIan Strange: FINAL ACT is presented as a solo exhibition at the Canterbury Museum, Christchurch from December 18th - March 23rd, 2014 by RISE Festival, OiYou and the Canterbury Museum.nnVideo Credits:nProducers: Amelia Philips and Jedda AndrewsnCinematographer: Daniel GallaghernEditor / Colorist : Dominic PearcenMusic Composed by: Marc Philip EarleynInterviewees: Charlie Gates, Graham Thompson, Huia Lambie, Ian Strange and Alun BollingernnIan Strange: FINAL ACTnCanterbury Museum, ChristchurchnDecember 18th – March 23rd, 2014nOpen daily 9am-5pmnnSelected footage from resulting film work ‘FINAL ACT’nArtist / Director : Ian StrangenDirector of photography / Camera operator : Alun Bollinger nProducer : Jedda AndrewsnProducer : Huia LambienAssociate producer : Jacqui WoodnEditor and colorist : Richard Lord nOriginal Score: Karl Thomas / ShockonenLocations scout / Deconstruction director : Graham ThompsonnCamera operator : Kirk PflaumnCamera operator - 2nd Camera : John ChrisstolfelnCamera Assist : Lili Lovell-WoodnGrip : James CreeveynLX Assist / Gene operator : Scott KellynGaffer : Andy RennienLX assist : Buddy RennienLX assist - Trainee : Suman GirinBehind the scenes second shooter: Marc McCarthynBehind the scenes stills photographer : Lloyd StubbernArt dept lead : William HeereynArt dept assist : Sam Miller nArt dept assist : Laura NixonnArt dept assist : Ruby RowenArt dept assist | Runner : Olivia McClymontnArt dept assist | Behind the scenes film assistant : Conor BowdennRunner : Vanessa De SilvanDeconstruction assistant | Rigger : Louis Roach nData wranger : Alex ParsonsnUnit Co-ordinator : Belinda Pflaumnn‘Ian Strange: FINAL ACT’ is a solo exhibition as a part of RISE Festival, presented by OiYou and the Canterbury Museum.nnFilmed in Christchurch, New Zealand 2013nShort Documentary on ‘Final Act’ coming mid 2014nFor more information on FINAL ACT or artist Ian Strange please visit www.IanStrange.com Less
