Modelling (2025)

by Temmuz Süreyya Gürbüz

An ode to being able to be a spectacle.

(Robert Bresson, Notes on Cinematography, 19)

Modelling is the second iteration of Cabbage Lane Productions, a DIY pseudo production company exploring improvisational filmmaking, based in Ireland.

To improvise is to risk failing to produce a complete spectacle, a developed idea, artistic or otherwise.

To document an improvisation is, then, an attempt to give it a finished form.

Modelling is therefore shapeless, lacking a model. This does not mean boneless. It tunes itself to spatial needs, becoming something other than it first was, like an improvised performance (musical or otherwise). Improvised music runs through the film's different stages, and we are open to sharing it in different forms.

Modelling (think about this version as a self-titled album, not as if it is the real one.)
