On the Great Divide - David Humphreys
A vision of the Alaskan wilderness.
Imagine This: A Story Told With Sound Effects - Dick Jordan
Sounds effects add a layer of complexity to movies. But could a motion picture be made solely with sound effects and nothing visual at all? Imagine the story that sounds effects are telling as you watch this film.
The Floating World - Janelle VanderKelen
Ghostly hauntings function as symptoms of a distraught environment in a series of interdependent retellings of a myth about the time the Sun ran away. The restagings are informed by the Japanese poet Akiko Yosano’s understanding of human bodies and personal relations as integrally politicized entities and actions, and her influence inspires a closer examination of how humans interact with the environment and the “non-human."Dead Mall
Patient’s Copy - Patrick Tarrant
A hand-made reflection on the underconscious and on the illustration of ideas on plastic. This collage film comes about after the discovery, in my university office, of a thousand overhead transparencies used for teaching biology. A chemically induced gaze looks out over this archive while a light shines down on obsolete treasures, buried ideologies and the science of life. Patient's Copy focuses on the capacity of these acetate transparencies to not simply allow light to pass through them, but also to allow light to reflect off them. This suggests a new function for images that have not only been excavated from their pedagogical and technological moment but which, in their new fluorescent form, are both less plastic, and more plastic than ever before.
Spectrum APR - Beatrice Surano
The area of Adriano-Padova-Rizzoli in Milan could be considered both as a huge socio-technical system and as a complex polyphonic system. In this work, the neighborhood loses its suburban definition and is described through an audio/video path that develops in a circular manner around its own center, resulting in a personal rhythmic combination of the area.
The Penance - Christopher Barnes, Tonjia Atomic
When love is like a bad drug habit, dark forces will fill the void.
