“SLEEP HAS HER HOUSE,” directed by Scott Barley, 2017, 90 minutes / Film critic Tom Charity writes: “Redolent of the films of Sokurov and Tarkovsky, Scott Barley's feature debut invites us to contemplate landscape, shape, texture and light, but often in absentia. It is a nocturne of long, static takes, wordless, yet vivid, even ecstatic in moments of searing, revelatory and indelible beauty … Barley shoots his films on iPhone revealing the radical aesthetic potential of the very cameras we always have at hand. The smartphone camera is as important for contemporary experimental film as the 16mm and 8mm camera was for the movements of the 60’s, the videocamera for the 80’s, and the digital handicam for the 00’s… Barley’s films are slow and meditative and mainly work within dark gloomy colors, why they are best experienced within the confines of the cinema. His films epitomize the importance of the cinematic space in a time of small screens. …“By removing his filmmaking from any traditional sense of narrative, character, and, even temporal/spatial unity, Barley invites us to see the world—and the cinematic image—anew.” – James Slaymaker, film critic
