Synopsis

I Am Always Connected is about the inseparable connections between the mind and the body, light and dark, and the camera and its subject. The film was shot in three takes on Super 8 film by a crew of 5 people on a small country road near Nijmegen, in the Netherlands.

"In Phillip Barker's compact, stunning I Am Always Connected, the entire history of the camera's relationship to the subject, to movement and to the audience gets compressed into two sophisticated scenarios." - Cameron Bailey
