WATCH MY LATEST FILM ‘THE MORTAL DECREE’

The Mortal Decree (18 minutes). A demoralized soldier is lost in the wilderness, one of the few remaining in a militia for hire known as the Mortal Decree. As their deranged General pushes the ill-equipped survivors on a manic hunt for ‘the enemy’, Henri Fabergé must face the absurdity of his own mortality, experiencing the loss of his friends, of his moral compass, and of his own mind. A disturbing examination of war, power, friendship and honour, the film’s tone pivots from dark comedy to a metaphysical dream as our anti-hero is made to realize that the enemy is never what it seems. Shot on location near the French River deep in the Canadian Shield, the lush and vast natural landscape provides a neat visual pairing to the grandiose original score by multi-disciplinary artist Henri Fabergé. Filmed by Henry Sansom, costume and production design by Juliann Wilding, written and directed as a collective in collaboration with Henri Fabergé. Featuring performances by: actors/improvisers Kayla Lorette, Alex Tindal, Mark Little and Matt Lemche; actors Kristian Bruun and Tess Degenstein; visual artists Nicholas Pye and Evan Penny; performance artist Cotey Pope; musician Leslie Feist; comedians Kyle Dooley and Anders Yates.

‘THE MORTAL DECREE’ POST-FILM Q & A

My new film THE MORTAL DECREE had its world premiere at LONG WINTER 9, a music & arts festival, in January 2021.

I thought this was meant to be a Q&A for the festival after the film, but I accidentally arranged to speak with my new lawyer Sami, who nevertheless had some urgent questions of their own.

Henri Fabergé is a transmedia storytelling artist with a focus on collaboration and collective creation, incorporating performance art, video, theatre, music, writing, and commissioned visual art. The COLLABS tab lists this vast, ever-growing network of talented co-creators involved in this epic tale.

Fabergé's practice explores the social rules, rituals, and hierarchal structures we inherit, in an attempt to understand their origins and pervasiveness, with special attention towards the themes of gender, sexuality, power, free will, the writing of history, personal transmutation and spiritual knowledge.

The character of Henri Fabergé - a young aristocrat who abandons his inherited status in search of absolute truth - is placed throughout human history, allowing for a study and re-contextualization of these issues, seen anew through a contemporary lens.
