His most commonly shown films are his so-called “tetralogy” (Return from Space, Nailing the Sun to the Sky, Red Yard, Norwegian Sweaters), produced in 2003 by Divus publishing’s TeleDVision, it was preceded by his many student films (which his later work seamlessly follows up on). These have been digitized from their original VHS format and provided with English subtitles.
