2026 BOFFO Artist Residency, Fire Island Pines





Dunesong (2026) is an experimental short film made during Man Car Sash’s BOFFO Residency in 2026. Inspired by Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul‘s Mysterious Object at Noon (2000), the film was produced in the spirit of the Surrealists’ game of Exquisite Corpse, shot on site over their last week in Fire Island Pines.

The instructions for the video was as follows:

1. A writes a scene.
2. We shoot A’s scene.

3. B watches A’s scene with no audio or context, and dictates a narration.
4. B writes the next scene.
5. We shoot B’s scene.

6. C watches B’s scene with no audio or context, and dictates a narration.
7. C writes the next scene.
8. We shoot C’s scene.

9. A watches C’s scene with no audio or context, and dictates a narration.

The film was scored in collaboration with Chuck Roth. In response to the environs of the island, Roth produced drawings of textures in nature he found during his many walks, responding to each one via improvisational guitar. He then pieced each response together to make the score for the film.
