Apple Pie is a new feature length artist film by Aotearoa New Zealand artist Sam Hamilton produced over 3 years and mainly shot on super 16mm film in Aotearoa NZ and Samoa with a cast of 25 people and featuring Samoan dance artist Ioane Papali'i.
The rest was shot at a remote mountaintop astrophysics observatory in the US desert with nothing but a turntable and the starry night sky above.

With its ten semi-autonomous, yet systemically correlative lines of inquiry – each taking its conceptual departure from objects within our solar system  - Apple Pie is designed to be a kind of relational architecture to inhabit rather than a script to follow.
A cinematic ecology to playfully yet critically explore the ontological fabric of who – and how - we are in relation to the world/s we inhabit.
A constellation of new materialist and situationist meditations; sub-atomic choreographies; cognitive meta-objects; photonic sculptures; deconstructions of political meridians and other imaginatively charged ceremonial homage’s to the world; to being; and to the vital agencies of their intersection.

Just as our ancestors used the night sky to navigate from the past into the present; we can use it to navigate from the present into the future.
