To mark this momentous occasion, I’ve posted 12 new movies. Some are new and some are previously released titles. Animal Crossing Underground, Blame Warhol and If Wishes Came True were made for the inaugural issue of Imaginations, in December 2010. Imaginations is a journal of cross-cultural media studies and is hosted out of the University of Alberta. Proof was commissioned by .dpi, an English/French online magazine that articulates the voices and critical viewpoints of women within contemporary technological landscapes. Swim is visualization of Ronna Bloom’s poem by the same name. And All Soul’s Day is an excerpt from Rhea Tregebov’s poem.

So on this auspicious day, pour yourself a favorite beverage, light a candle or a smoke, sit back and watch some videos.

I was struck by the power of her video and her understated yet effective performance on camera. I encouraged her to consider a redux version of the video, 26 years after the original. Although this hasn’t yet happened we did manage to come up with something else.

In August we finally had a chance to meet and share some ideas and thoughts about our work. She mentioned that she had a book launch coming up in September and I offered to create a few small videos based on some of her poetry. Here are the results.

Ronna’s collection of poetry, Cloudy with a Fire in the Basement, is published by Pedlar Press and is available through Amazon or your local, independent bookseller.
