Dummy Jim is to be the subject of a special presentation at Union Docs in Brooklyn, NYC.
Film maker Matt Hulse will be reading extracts from Duthie’s journal and will share exclusive sneak previews of the edit-in-progress of Dummy Jim. He will talk about his unusual decade-long journey to complete the film, a journey rich with creative offshoots, including a soundtrack album, live cinema events, an artist’s book, knitwear, a deaf film festival and the much sought after ‘Dummy Jam’ (‘a terrible pun, an excellent preserve’).
Joining Hulse on stage will be Aaron Moore (‘Volcano The Bear’), seen here suspended by his ankles.
Aaron will be performing an improvised set live to images from Dummy Jim’s own 16mm home movie footage, material that only came to light recently, discovered in an attic in the Scottish fishing village St Combs.
