For the past few years, London-based artist and filmmaker Rosalind Nashashibi (winner of a Beck's Futures Award) has received great acclaim for her quiet, poignant narratives. Bachelor Machines Part I continues in the vein of Nashashibi's ongoing exploration of mundane environments coupled with elegant, sometimes humorous, aesthetic and social investigations. The film follows the enormous cargo vessel Gran Bretagna as it cruises sloth-like from Italy to Sweden. Interspersed with long shots of the vessel's vast interior and crewmates going about their work, Bachelor Machines is a bewitching answer to meditative films like last year's Into Great Silence and early experimental works such as 1929's Man with a Movie Camera.
