BUFF18 Presents: STAND BY FOR TAPE BACK-UP: Live Performance
"Two years ago, I found a videotape in my loft. On it: one and a half films, one quiz show and two sit-coms. Somehow, it became the story of my life" (Ross Sutherland)
After a hard-drive crash and a near death experience, Ross Sutherland found himself house-bound with only one thing for company: an old videotape that once belonged to his granddad.
Over the months that followed, Ross memorized every second of the tape. Slowly, he learnt how to manipulate the images into telling the story of his life. The videotape allowed Ross to open a dialogue with his late grandfather, and eventually helped him confront the illness that had nearly ended his life.
The true story of one mans journey into synchronicity and madness.
Currently touring with his show throughout the UK, Ross Sutherland will perform live, one show only, at the Harvard Film Archive.
