Hello and welcome to Blue House Film! We're currently accepting submissions for our next screening, which will be held on Monday, March 30th at The Cooperage MKE. This event is in collaboration with the Midwest Women Film Collective and will highlight themes of womanhood, in honor of Women's History Month!
Our name comes from a poem called "Blue House" by Lisa Chen:
Join us for a special event to celebrate 15 years of collaboration between artist Daniel & Clara. Through film, photography, performance and mail art, their expansive body of work explores the porous boundaries between inner worlds and the landscapes around us, weaving together observations of nature, memory, myth and the uncanny. In this in-depth talk, the artist will take us on a journey through their practice — a space where perception, nature and imagination collide.
After a very successful first year, the second edition of Elevation Film Festivalwill return to Maker Heights (Cornwall, UK) on 6-7 September 2025. Earlybird submission deadline January 31st 2025, final submission deadline March 31st 2025.
Elevation celebrates emerging voices in artistic, experimental, and expanded cinema across southwest England, the UK and internationally.
The first piece in the puzzle of artist Daniel & Clara's Avebury Imaginary project, Notes From a Journey uses images and sounds captured during a journey through the British countryside to Avebury stone circle as the material for an exploration at the edges of human perception and reality. A film that has been described as a “visionary travelogue” and an “experimental folk horror”, Notes from a Journey invites viewers to take a trip through vivid colour fields, foreboding darkness, ancient mysteries and immersive soundscapes.
Mysterious transmissions, long-forgotten video posts, frozen images lodged in the mind, animation erupting from the unconscious – a programme of short artist films exploring the tensions between lived and imagined realities, with films by Adonia Bouchehri, Daniel & Clara, Duncan Poulton, Edwin Rostron.
I'm Here But I'm Not A Cat – a group exhibition exploring the tension between the digital and the material through works that express a desire to reconnect with lived experience and physical presence. Featuring artists Adonia Bouchehri, Daniel & Clara, Duncan Poulton, Edwin Rostron.

Join artists Daniel & Clara on an illustrated journey to Avebury stone circle and Silbury Hill, reflecting on a body of work made in response to these mysterious ancient sites. Working across moving image, mail art and photography, they explore the relationship between psychology and place, looking at how we imbue places with meaning, and how in turn landscapes impact on our state of mind and imagination.
For one weekend only Daniel & Clara's Landscape Imaginary comes to London with an exhibition at Lot Projects, Broadway Market Mews in Hackney.
An exhibition of moving image, polaroids and mail art exploring the relationship between psychology and place, looking at how we imbue places with meaning, and how in turn landscape, weather and the environment impact our imagination and state of mind.
