A Diamond Forms Under Pressure6mn12 color stereo 2008 Ireland by Paul O Donoghue (Ocusonic) self-production self-distribution "A Diamond Forms Under Pressure" is an anomaly existing somewhere between experimental film and music video, computer animation/ programming, science and art. An improvised electronic soundtrack drives proprietary software, which analyses the audios's frequency content and generates a cogent synchronous image in real-time. Frequencies push and pull against each other stabilising or agitating the central image  A peine je m’endormais1mn44 color stereo 2009 France by Isabelle Beurard (Vorle) self-production self-distribution From the reflection of a gesture to the shadow of another one ?

It's about the way everything moves and is interconnected to create beauty. Each small, choreographed scene can be appreciated for itself, but on subsequent viewings, takes on a separate meaning. They become metaphors for our lives, our dreams and ourselves.  Claudine n’aura pas son certificat de conformité6mn25 color stereo 2009 France by Claudine Bourbigot & Brian Copenhagen production : La Marée Monte distribution : La Marée Monte Claudine is extremely delighted by the great seeing census that’s been launched by the French government in order to better classify the population.

An excavation of the concept of montage : small moments public and private brush up against each other, creating a charged tapestry of the immediate. Inside and outside, motion and stasis, home and travel, light and dark : a series of antimonies struggle to be heard and seen.

It’s not part of it, and it keeps eventually its autonomy (ou home rule). A graphic and musical short film that speaks to our senses.

Crossing31mn54 color stereo 2009 Netherlands by Frans Van Lent self-production self-distribution The work "Crossing" is a confrontation of two different time-structures. On one hand there is a repetitive form, the track of the car with "on the rear-seat" the public. On the other hand there is my performance, a linear time-structure : passing ± 5 meters of street in 30 minutes time. The public is confronted with different stages of this performance only five times during their trip. Further on they know the performance is going on in their absence. The crossing is so slowly (only a few millimeters every step), that for the carpassengers it is not noticeable as actually "moving". It is not a work for looping as an installation. It is really meant for screening and watching it the 31 minutes. If you decide to show it, please show it in that way.  Dame de Nage3mn45 color & b/w stereo 2009 France by Antoine Miserey self-production self-distribution On a boat with reams(trains), the rowlock is an object serving to fix a ream(train).

For this procedure, the woman's urine was injected into the body of the frog, and from the frog's physical reaction the gynecologist would have an answer. A steady supply of frogs was needed to supply these answers, and the artist's father made his living fishing swamps for this very purpose. In the context of this procedure, the frog's body is the indicator of either life or absence. The video "frog test" is an artistic interpretation to those facts.

Grop one´s way1mn17 color stereo 2009 Slovakia by Lukáš Matejka self-production self-distribution Dream fragments emerging constantly. Video of a series of fragments.

I decided to leave most of it untouched, as if it was edited in camera. It was a difficult exercise : my room was dark except for the flickering light coming from a lamp, projecting the nostalgia of passing time on the walls.  Illumination Complete, Action #55mn22 color stereo 2008 Italy by Andrea Dojmi self-production self-distribution The set for the "action # 5" turned out to be a basketball court inside an oratory in Como, Italy. I was no longer interested in the game, but in an unprecedented movement under the sun. The basket structures became a shining hot space ship landed from some far galaxy.  Indie4mn35 color stereo 2009 Canada by Frédérick Belzile self-production distribution : Groupe Intervention Vidéo The voice of an omnipresent refrigerator takes over. An animal appears. Anthropomorphism and domesticity.  Inspector Ruiz(z) in China9mn26 color & b/w mono 2010 France by Denis De lapparent self-production self-distribution Pseudo "polar" found footage 100% YouTube.  Interworld7mn11 b/w sil 2008 Canada by Michael Filimowicz self-production self-distribution "Interworld" is composed of overlapping visual pulses- each pulse being a momentary articulation of the body, engaging in a temporal polemic with the approach to time and change found in Brakhage’s work, which so often ignores the minute repetitions to be discovered in even the most fleeting of perceptual experiences.

King Nothing6mn53 color stereo 2008 Germany by Paul Wiersbinski self-production self-distribution In the near future contemporary art has become a matter of supply and demand. The cabaret of a sadistic curator, greedy collectors and mindless audience is making its way through a blockbuster exhibition of the latest art star. The illusion of endless profit has become reality and the more real it becomes, the more we believe in everything we are told.  L'art délicat de la matraque4mn b/w stereo 2009 France by Jean-Gabriel Périot self-production distribution : HEURE EXQUISE ! About the policemen's sensibility.  L'échec total2mn24 color stereo 2010 France by Christophe Guérin self-production distribution : Light cone Two destinies: the story of a woman who lives a hopeless solitude meets the lost images of a beloved young woman.

La petite fille aux allumettes14mn color stereo 2009 Canada by Judith Vienneau self-production distribution : Groupe Intervention Vidéo Inspired by the Christmas tale of Hans Christian Andersen, published for the first time in 1838. Experimental and poetic adaptation of a traditional tale which, for the author, rather becomes a place of exploration and wandering, sensitive to an esthetics close to Street Art.  La Vénus au coffret9mn30 color mono 2009 France by Olivier Guidoux self-production self-distribution A man crosses a deserted town and spends the night in a lonely park. In the morning, he decides to explore the place, which seems endless.  Landowner4mn color & b/w sil 2009 Portugal by Jonathan Franco self-production self-distribution The figure of a man disappears and reappears in a field of abundant vegetation. This movement generates a thematic tension between landscape and portrait. Distinct levels of interpretation and contemplation are enhanced while also exploring possibilities of painting, drawing and photography within the moving images. The black and white picture was taken in the mid fifties.  Landscape Memory #12mn color stereo 2009 Brazil by Arthur Tuoto self-production self-distribution Why so green and lonely ? The video "Landscape Memory #1" is an abstract piece filmed on a mobile phone. The work reveals how this new media deals with the fragile aspect of the image.  Las Vegas Shadows4mn22 b/w stereo 2009 France by Christophe Guérin self-production distribution : Light cone Las Vegas : a fast-growing junkspace spreads in the desert, populated by moving shadows. The urban frame and the crowd are condensed into one dimension to form an abstract image of the city, disembodied and melancholic. In a continuous movement that seems endless, the landscape is written.  Le bout du monde4mn13 color stereo 2009 France by Christian Lajoumard production : Acrobates Films self-distribution At Funchal, on the Madeira island, before going across oceans for unknow places, sailors leave on the warfs and seawalls a last message of their attendance.

The boy and the girl actually are the same person. The girl is in the middle of feeling like a girl and a boy.  Losing Ground13mn color stereo 2009 Canada by Isabelle Hayeur self-production self-distribution "Losing Ground" is a critique of urban sprawl and the resulting erosion and homogenization of the countryside across the world. With its negation of city history, of geographic particularities, and thus of cultural memory, this standardized urbanization imposes its amnesia, individualistic lifestyle, and jarring presence in nature. Filmed in Quartier DIX30 in Brossard, the biggest lifestyle center in Canada, the video sounds out recently man-made territories so as to decipher humanity’s relationships with the environment. It confronts us with the dizzying spectacle of our diminishing local references, as they give way to cultural stereotypes, now become universal through globalization.  Magia6mn35 color stereo 2010 France by Gérard Cairaschi self-production distribution : HEURE EXQUISE ! A young boy molds objects with clay that he then manipulates, combines and associates, in an obscure ritual. As the objects/representations he creates combine and develop a narrative, the fast alternation of images on the screen imbricate and shape images/apparitions that only the “lanterna magica” of cinema and the magic of editing allow. Magica means enchantment.  Mala apokalipsa41mn01 color stereo 2008 Slovenia by Alvaro Petricig production : Kinoatelje distribution : Kinoatelje "Mala apokalipsa" (Minor Apocalypse) is neither a documentary nor fiction. Paradoxically, it could be defined as "science-fiction documentary", for it is based on a true story – the death of a village. Cisgne is (was) a small settlement in the Nadiža / Natisone Valleys which, similarly to many other mountain or remote settlements, was left to abandonment and ruin by the economic reasoning of our modern lifestyle. The last inhabitants left Cisgne after the earthquake in 1976 when the abandonment of the village and transfer to other settlements in the valley below was imposed on the village dwellers as the only possible solution even though their village only suffered minor damages. The story is a patchwork of testimonies and memories of the village’s daily life and its destiny, with deeply involving and even painful memories awoken by images as persistent as nightmares and almost corroded by the very substance of the memory itself, combined with intuitive reflections on the meaning of time in a village in ruin which may arise in an "outsider", uninfluenced by the life stories of those involved. When apocalypse approaches settlements such as Cisgne, it comes quietly, without a proper announcement, for the events occurring at the very "periphery of an empire" are of no interest to anybody. What is visible to the eye is insatiable vitality with which nature, indifferent to major or minor events in the village’s history, burries and destroys the traces of human experience. Meanwile, many Cisgnes in the Nadiža / Natisone Valleys await a similar fate.  Meaninglessness : Act Two3mn color stereo 2010 Sweden by Anders Weberg self-production self-distribution Meaninglessness. Having no meaning or significance.  Mental Laxative12mn25 b/w stereo 2010 Spain by Daniel Rodrigo self-production self-distribution "Mental laxatives" are the social vaccine to promote people brimming with self-esteem. In the uncertain times of a new media revolution : human beings with high self confidence making independent decisions, taking risks, vigorously pursuing new ideas, and acting on their own initiative are needed to take on the world for the 21st century.  Meta Vision4mn16 color & b/w stereo 2008 Taiwan by Hsin-Wei Chen self-production self-distribution Combined with the footage of 3 different films that already made. This short is about the way we perceive the world. Remaking of films and endowed with now concepts. In a way, we are all blind to witness.  Mi nombre es Wilfried6mn30 color stereo 2009 Germany by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne self-production self-distribution Visiting Santa Rosa Dell’Agua (a village located at Lake Maracaibo ) becomes an allegory how the author is perceiving his own identity.The Spanish language used in the film, has a specific relevance, but might be any other language than the author's own mother language, it stands for being a stranger, the will to communicate, but also the inability to understand each other. The visit become a re-identification.  Midge1mn32 color stereo 2009 USA by Julia Oldham self-production self-distribution "Midge" is a performance shot as a reflection on the water. The movements are inspired by the insect nymphs and larvae that live just below the surface.  Mudeye1mn51 color stereo 2009 USA by Julia Oldham self-production self-distribution "Mudeye" is an exploration of movements found in an aquatic insect community in a creek in Iowa.  Music Video for a Pop Song4mn color stereo 2008 USA by L. Ashwyn Collins self-production self-distribution "Music Video for a Pop Song" is a video set to a manipulated version of Britney Spears’ breakout hit "Baby One More Time". The piece addresses the intersection of sexuality, gender, popular culture, beauty, and the grotesque. "Music Video for a Pop Song" depicts three simultaneous videos of heavily rouged lips. As the audio shifts from the genuine song to a slower version, the videos fall in and out of sync with the sound. As a result, the piece exists in a liminal space between connection and disconnection, beautiful and grotesque, masculine and feminine.  my loneliness is a lazy prostitute4mn05 color stereo 2009 USA by Joy Whalen production : Joy Productions distribution : Joy Productions Although a desire for love and companionship exists for most of us, there are times when all that it takes to make love possible becomes too much to bear. Despite aloneness, the prospect of caring greatly and getting hurt again is much less inviting. Apathy grows, and yet we still wish for love ; in this work I undergo the cycle of yearning and backing away.  My one is bigger than your one2mn48 color stereo 2010 Sweden by Antti Savela self-production self-distribution This is a video about boys playing with cars.  Night6mn30 color stereo 2009 Norway by Farhad Kalantary self-production distribution : The Norwegian Film Institute “Night” is a journey in the dark, and a short film that explores the borders of visibility. Its gripping sound track carries the film towards deeper layers of darkness as the act of viewing becomes more challenging. “Night” was shot using high definition video from a traveling train in the height of Nordic winter.  nihon blue4mn35 color & b/w stereo 2010 USA by Dan Nadaner self-production self-distribution Images of travel and inner states interwoven in the midst of a steamy summer in Japan. A visual jam session composed of a fish market, commuters, train stations and crickets.  Objets oubliés16mn35 color & b/w stereo 2009 Italy by Fabio Scacchioli self-production self-distribution This film is born from the discover of 4 short film footage in the street (real found footage !) showing : 1. a tourist with a photo camera sit on the ground 2. a small rowing boat go away 3. a couple come down from a staircase 4. a gun shooting from an old, unknown western film. The film protagonist is a voice without a body searching your organic identity between the images. The voice try to find a link between the 4 film footage, but this is extremely difficult, and perhaps useless. The film pictures are : the four real found footage films ; home movies pictures ; documentary pictures in public domain (war films, naturalistic-scientific film, and a film about the day after the rise of Berlin wall); original shooting.  Obsession2mn color stereo 2009 Canada by Elaine Frigon self-production distribution : Groupe Intervention Vidéo The same body at two different times. Tension mounts because of an obsession.  One more cliché for performance art !1mn13 color stereo 2009 Canada by Vienne Chan self-production self-distribution Let's watch each other under Christopher's burden.I am interested in the role of pain and shock in performance art, and whether the degree of suffering involved can affect our perception of artistic "authenticity". What are the artistic and ethical implications for the future of performance art behind previously set levels of pain, such as in Chris Burden’s landmark piece, "Shoot" ?  Oscilloscope 1 - Physique de l'évangile8mn color & b/w stereo 2009 France by Dania Reymond self-production self-distribution A different film version of the gospel.  Paesaggio II3mn20 color stereo 2009 Italy by Paride Di Stefano & Andrej Kobal (Paridegitone) self-production self-distribution Video "Landscape II" is part of a series of videos made in 2009. The videos are dedicated to the natural landscape and artificial, talking about the wild and untouched and places contaminated by man. "Landscape II" in the video player is the sea, not sunny and summer as we are accustomed to see and dream more closely, but a sea obscured by clouds and a little threatening, wrapped in a mystery of nature. The images are accompanied by music that blends the colors gently with cold and wet scenario.  passageway2mn30 color & b/w stereo 2010 USA by Dan Nadaner self-production self-distribution Moving at different paces at different times, through biology and the machine.  Passings / Untitled3mn color stereo 2009 Finland by Hanna Husberg self-production self-distribution An island story  Phasmid1mn16 color stereo 2009 USA by Julia Oldham self-production self-distribution "Phasmid" is a performance, shot entirely in shadow, based on the ghostly movements of stick insects in the prairie in Iowa.

Primitive Earth Series Part 1 : Volcanoes5mn51 color stereo 2010 USA by Catherine Gilbert & Jeff Burns production : Gratuitous Art Productions distribution : Gratuitous Art Productions Gratuitous Art Films is a collaborative art project that finds the connections and inflections between today’s audience and yesterday’s bully pulpit. Gratuitous techniques have been keystones in both propaganda and film making in the 20th century and over time, connotations -symbolic, political or otherwise- allow us to manipulate sound and images to gratuitously inflict our own narrative and connotations. We at Gratuitous Art Films dig deep into the trenches of obscura ephemera, sourcing from over 65 years of public domain material ranging from the propaganda of the Prelinger archives to the wax cylinders in Thomas Edison’s Attic. The very sources of the material form a foundational context that allows these short films to work with so many layers. The corporate lens and the time of its conception make each film source a treasure trove of metaphor and social relevance. Pieced together through modern cynicism and progressive design aesthetics, a dry dark wit extends a hand and slaps you across the face. Some of it is recognizable as the advertorial campaigns, or entertainment of our youth. Others are lost beacons of amateur video capturing decaying Kodak moments of our lives, doubly sweet for the treasure trove of glitches that are the lost trademarks of the non-digital film era. The dated sources of material form a familiar pallet, offering incredible production values and a temperament that would be nearly impossible to reproduce today. From hair and make up to dance productions, the type of footage we use in our films produces a desaturated sanguine that borders on bittersweet mental illness.  Puílha 17 janeiro 2010 15:33h15mn16 color stereo 2010 Spain by Alberte Pagán self-production self-distribution Thesis, antithesis and synthesis. Image: Haunted House. Past and presente.

Radio Flyer6mn color stereo 2010 Germany by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne self-production self-distribution A former skater remembers the time when he was young and skating. He tells the story of that past phase of his life by reciting the English lyrics of the famous Charles Aznavour song “Yesterday when I was young”, while the original lyrics run as French undertitles. The experimental film was filmed on location at Lyon/France and Szczecin/Poland  Rébus5mn color stereo 2008 France by François Vogel production : Drosofilms self-distribution From the kitchen to the garden, from the garden to the kitchen, the three protagonists of "Rebus" take us through the maze of a distorted space in search of hidden words in the image.  Recuerdos de una Ciudad9mn20 color stereo 2009 Colombia by Andrés Meléndez self-production self-distribution The Santa Ines district, where Cartucho street once was, was at the beginning of the 20th century a wealthy residential neighborhood in the center of Bogota. In the seventies, it turned into a "tolerance area" for drug addicts.  Red Blanket for Two5mn40 color stereo 2010 Portugal by Jonathan Franco self-production self-distribution An experimental video documentation of a homeless couple sleeping beneath a red blanket in a public open space in broad daylight. They remain like this for hours throughout the day, indifferent and anonymous to what is happening around them, undisturbed from noise and imminent danger. This event almost doesn’t seem real but some kind of artist intervention or performance. It could also be a beautiful love story.

Old images playing, dancing and beeing reinterpretated. A found footage film produced by Center of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona made with films of the Experimental Film Archive of the Center (Xcèntric-CCCB)  RIP in Pieces America62mn color stereo 2009 Canada by Dominic Gagnon self-production self-distribution I was watching video on the Internet and I noticed that certain homemade clips were flagged for their content. As they were disappearing from free hosting sites, I started to save and edit them in a capsule format. Working in a gray zone about copyright, I nevertheless fulfill the authors’ will to contextualize their situation by grouping their videos together and more important diffuse / preserve their messages.  S/tr :w /EET WALK18mn53 color mono 2009 USA by Lili White self-production self-distribution S/tr:w/EET WALK’s shoes were found on a street that presents a horse fair, near a Liffey que that used to be a prostitute's walk. Journeying through Ireland, NYC, and the American South, voiceovers of feminist takes on eroticism & pornography, a Cinderella tale and historic and mythic facts connect tangentially.  Scream3mn color stereo 2009 Netherlands by Marina Chernikova self-production self-distribution The image of charming playing children transforms into a schematic image of mutants, following their rituals. Gradually the sound of their voices gives rise to a feeling of unrest and alarm. The video image becomes distorted, subordinating itself to the ever increasing volume, and even disappears completely.  Screen 1_23mn32 color sil 2008 Slovenia by Kaja Kraner self-production self-distribution In "Screen 1_2 I" am touching the image of actress Ava Gardner, taken from the film in the moment when the person she is playing dies. By touching the “dead” image on the screen, I try to revive the image with the movements of the screen, produced by my fingers.  She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not2mn55 color stereo 2009 Netherlands by Corrine Bot self-production self-distribution A woman is playing "She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not". Not with a nice flower, but with a cactus. "Does she love me? Or doesn’t she? But then again, do I love her ?"  Signs of Crisis11mn b/w stereo 2010 Portugal by Jonathan Franco self-production self-distribution An experimental video documentation of two homeless and unemployed men, with nowhere to go and nothing to do, sitting like living statues at the main entrance of an empty, almost abandoned and haunted, seven floor offices building situated on one of the main avenues of the city of Lisbon, Portugal. They seem to be depressed and hopeless in some kind of silent manifestation. The banging sounds heard throughout the film are the cry against the human tragedy and the real estate crisis. There are so many people without homes and so many homes without people.  Silent Cry3mn30 color stereo 2008 Germany by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne self-production self-distribution Silent Cry is the visualization of an internal cry happening all the time, when society does not allow to show deep emotional affection. The silent cry is always present caused by never ending traumatizations during decades hidden behind the facade people wants to see. And even if the cry would be seen or heard, people would refuse to face it.  Skin Light6mn38 b/w stereo 2009 France by Anne-Lise Maure self-production self-distribution The immobile body begins to move, to multiply and become numerous. A musical image. The light sources and music rythm become a hypnotic kaleidoscope of an image.  slate3mn53 color stereo 2009 USA by Joy Whalen production : Joy Productions distribution : Joy Productions Amongst the world's dampened dirt and debris, a girl finds herself surrounded. Isolated above the city noise she is bent in a rooftop field of rain puddles. A lone girl sets out against her woes, hands and knees in mud, to wipe the slate clean and begin anew. However weathered or quietly inglorious, we often work through the patient actions of hopeful beginnings.  Slow Motion Suicide6mn40 color stereo 2009 Netherlands by Corrine Bot self-production self-distribution A woman plants a really small tree in a field where nothing will ever grow. She gives the tree water, obviously in vain. She winds a hangman’s rope around the tree’s branches and puts the rope around her neck. She sits next to the tree and waits… Gives the tree water… Waits…  Solar Paludism10mn color & b/w stereo 2009 Canada by Frédérick Maheux self-production self-distribution Videonoise adaptation of the essay "The Shadow Of The Dalai Lama" by Victor & Victoria Trimondi. Through distorted images captured during a trip in Thailand and Cambodia, this document proposes a Buddhist interpretation of the objectification and merchandising of women in South-East Asia.  Some Playful Patterns I've Been Thinking About Recently2mn40 color sil 2009 USA by Neil Needleman self-production self-distribution A (sometimes subtle) combination of virtually pure abstraction with autobiographical narration (in titles). I really see these things. I really feel these things. I really live this type of life that (uneasily and sometimes unsuccessfully) attempts to integrate my professional side with my artistic side.  something in between memories4mn19 color stereo 2010 United Kingdom by Noriko Okaku self-production self-distribution This is the first series of my animated journal. In between objects are filled by different colours. This film is about not only keeping memories but also experimenting the other ways of seeing things.  Somewhere4mn color & b/w stereo 2009 USA by Salise Hughes self-production self-distribution Somewhere between a 1950s sock hop and the Wild West, a Technicolor and Black and White pair of lovers meet to belt out a tune from “West Side Story".  speed dating4mn05 color & b/w stereo 2010 Morocco by Hicham Qaidi self-production self-distribution A dog on the roof, a threaten sky...  Spin1mn35 color stereo 2009 USA by L. Ashwyn Collins self-production self-distribution Spin depicts four simultaneous shots of a peculiar fly. The intimacy of the perspective along with the four similar, but distinct shots disrupt the viewer's sense of time and space. This forces the viewer to question the relationship between the four videos, shifting the focus of the imagery between movement and stillness, humor and dread, illness and vitality.  Stepping on the Light9mn45 color stereo 2008 Canada by Michael Filimowicz & Carole Contant self-production self-distribution "Stepping on the Light" explores two extremes of video display scales, that of pocket video and large scale projection. The noise in the imagery, an effect of the technology of portable image capture, is reproduced in the soundtrack, which marries noise and video game soundscapes.  Stretching4mn30 color stereo 2009 France by François Vogel production : Drosofilms self-distribution "Stretching" is a peculiar display of urban gymnastics. An eccentric character concocts crazy, rhythmic exercises along the streets of Manhattan. The surrounding architecture mingles with his playful dance, joining in his merriment.  sun moon stars rain3mn20 color stereo 2009 Canada by Leslie Supnet self-production self-distribution "sun moon stars rain" is a psychedelic visual elegy, lamenting the death of Mother Nature's children.  Surplus5mn40 color stereo 2008 Serbia by Isidora Ilic & Boško Prostran (Doplgenger) production : Doplgenger distribution : Doplgenger Formally intervening with found footage of commercials, this experimental video allows one to rethink image while creating narrative which discovers one of many skillfully covered senses of media images. As the title suggests this video performs Lacan's opinion that in contemporary capitalism 'surplus value' is no longer capitalized for later libidinal enjoyment - nowadays surplus value is re-invested in production process.  Surveillance Suite6mn24 color stereo 2009 USA by Joshua Rosenstock (Joshua Pablo Rosenstock) self-production self-distribution There are countless anonymous networked cameras that broadcast publicly over the Internet. In "Surveillance Suite", I harvest selected ambient video streams and transform them into time-lapse musical video compositions. The minutiae of these tiny vignettes become rhythmic micro-narratives, dramatizing temporary and fleeting moments that are ordinarily invisible in our experience of everyday life.  swimmer6mn27 color stereo 2010 France by Hanna Husberg self-production self-distribution A presence in a vast exterior, a journey without goal.  Terrain Vague - Nuit Urbaine16mn30 color stereo 2008 France by Viktor Furiani & Frédéric Kahn self-production self-distribution Strange kaleidoscope, superposition game, vanishing points, abstract diversions. The tones are spreading, embracing the tempo of an electronic music that is circular and sly. Everything is rushing, stricken by saturations but also surrounded by delicate loops.  The Adventure Of Monica4mn34 b/w sil 2009 United Kingdom by Matthew Verdon self-production self-distribution Two excerpts from the 1960 film "L’Avventura" by Michelangelo Antonio have been combined to show actress Monica Vitti running up and down a corridor. She is in the midst of a frantic search however the subject of her search is not shown in the present work. The two clips are alternately repeated, gradually fading with time, so the act of searching or looking is embodied for the viewer of the work who has to look harder in order to see the darkening image.  the catch1mn color stereo 2009 USA by L. Ashwyn Collins self-production self-distribution "the catch" consists of a single minute-long close-up shot of a pair of hands combing through hair. The image is beautiful, yet the perspective is uncomfortably close. In addition, the delicate hand movements are juxtaposed with escalating audio and, eventually, a quietly violent act. The audio overdramatizes this act leaving the viewer to contend with her perception of cinematic conventions.  The Cloud Editions3mn53 color stereo 2009 Sweden by Tina Willgren self-production self-distribution 6 short videos. We do have expectations that something will happen here. From what we know, something is definitely going to take place. Watch out ! It will be fast. There it is. Or rather, there it was. Did it really happen already ?  The Hunters3mn20 color & b/w sil 2009 Portugal by Jonathan Franco self-production self-distribution A sequence of images, appearing to be drawings and paintings, ends with the photograph of two men beside the corpse of a dead animal. The weapon used in the killing is also proudly displayed. There is a contrast between aesthetic and documental imagery from almost abstraction to something portraying a real event. The pictures are remembrance of the exoticisms of colonialism and the relationship of man with beast, hunter and the hunted, which somehow never seems to change.  The MBC @ The Office3mn07 color stereo 2008 USA by Sarah Buckius & Melanie Manos self-production self-distribution In this video, Manos and Buckius find themselves surrounded by four tables on which run ten printers. Manos and Buckius frantically zoom around the confined space on their rolling chairs in an attempt to retrieve and stack the papers endlessly being processed through the printers. The paperwork just never seems to end, as they race against the clock and an unknown deadline ! The MBC embraces purposelessness ! Our aim is to energize a space with our activities, and suggest new interpretations for existing structures both in the social/political and environmental/architectural sense. Formalist aesthetics...patterned yet spontaneous movement...vibrant colors and actions…we are Jacques Tati meets DEVO. Working as a team, we interact physically with everyday objects and technological devices by using them to perform unconventional, bizarre and highly non- productive tasks. The work proposes that everyday objects and technologies might be reinterpreted in absurd, playful, and strange ways, and that the nature of productivity and function be re-examined. This work questions levels of authority and control : are we in control of technology, our immediate environment, and institutional systems, or is the reverse true ? Our work has included photography, mediated performances (live-feed to video monitor or projector), live performance with projections, videos, video installation with projections, and video installation with sculpture. The MBC is particularly interested in spaces that offer a potential for site-specific work, and we are often drawn to irregular and notably compartmental areas or rooms. We work specifically to the confines of a space, and each space becomes heterotopic through the experience.  The MBC Rearranging Space10mn13 color stereo 2009 USA by Sarah Buckius & Melanie Manos self-production self-distribution In this piece, we build structures that are at once ordered and precarious, purposeful and purposeless. In the process, we rearrange the space in infinite ways, revealing the method by which humans often pack and unpack, arrange and rearrange space, construct and deconstruct, and build and rebuild following collapse. From the everyday to the metaphoric, this work is a consideration of human perseverance, industriousness, and the often ludicrous business in our everyday lives.  the process2mn09 color stereo 2009 USA by Henry Gwiazda self-production self-distribution My work is about the choreography of reality. It's about the way everything moves and is interconnected to create beauty. Each small, choreographed scene can be appreciated for itself, but on subsequent viewings, takes on a separate meaning. They become metaphors for our lives, our dreams and ourselves.  The Vase1mn color sil 2009 USA by Jeremy Newman self-production self-distribution In this video, a mysterious young woman clips off sunflower heads, wrecking havoc on a vase of crickets. The desperate, yet graceful movements of the insects are a silent plea against environmental degradation. The directorial manipulations evident in the work ultimately serve to question the veracity of documentary nature cinematography.  the videoFlâneu® shoot(s) himself in kassel because of documenta 1214mn50 color stereo 2008 Germany by Konstantinos-Antonios Goutos (the[video]Flâneu®) self-production self-distribution 3 selfportraits of the [video]Flâneu®. 3 (un)usual meetings with himself. 3 shots in the city of kassel, germany taken (like always without purpose or plan) on september 21, 2007 after an intensive and sleepless journey from larissa to thessaloniki (greece) and then to frankfurt (germany) before kassel and the documenta exhibition.  the videoFlâneu® shoot(s) kafka´s gravestone9mn03 color stereo 2008 Czech Republic by Konstantinos-Antonios Goutos (the[video]Flâneu®) self-production self-distribution The first and extraordinary visit of the [video]Flâneu® and his camera to franz kafka`s gravestone a very strange moment, filmed through a metallic gate of the new jewish cemetery in prague on may 19, 2006 at 1.45 pm with a normal digital video apparatus.  Tour in NYC - 4’33” on Violin2mn17 color mono 2008 USA by Lucilla Chan self-production self-distribution Time Square was the last location on my Tour in NYC 2008. Performed as a violin soloist in Time Square to play 4'33" (according to John Cage), to experience the surrounding sounds. Stood as "living sculpture" like Gilbert & George, to observe and be observed in the public, to investigate the reactions and activities of the public in a major tourist attraction in this vivid city.  train5mn13 b/w stereo 2008 Slovenia by Aljosa Korencan self-production self-distribution There is a man on a train, watching a young woman sitting across from him. Suddenly her thoughts become his.  Troppo Danzato, Troppo Pianto16mn color stereo 2010 France by Xanaé Bove production : Sedna Films self-distribution It all starts like a pop 60 ballad, turning into fatal disco… New wave takes over. Some women disappear, inadequately looked at … Whereas, they’re dead of too much dancing or too much crying ?  Trou de balle1mn53 color stereo 2009 France by Yves-Marie Mahé self-production distribution : Light cone Cum as you are.  Troublement11mn20 color mono 2009 Poland by Katarzyna Kifert & Kinga Samborska production : Marzi self-distribution Trouble + tremblement = Troublement (French). Word that doesn't exist. Confusion, trembles, emotional collapse. Dance road movie.  Twilight Timelapse Concert for George Ives4mn45 color stereo 2008 USA by Neil Needleman self-production self-distribution George Ives, father of the great American composer Charles Ives, was a small-town bandleader with big ideas about music and sound. For example, he would have several bands march toward each other from opposite ends of town, playing a different tune in a different key. George enjoyed the clashing sounds grow in intensity as the bands got closer. I think he would enjoy this tribute to his musical curiosity.  Two Journeys (single-channel version)4mn40 color stereo 2009 USA by Neil Needleman self-production self-distribution A simple (or deceptively simple) study in contrast between caterpillar and human ; sober and drunk ; methodical and wild; steady and syncopated; constant and unpredictable ; between small and large… etc.  Un 45 tours de Cheveu6mn25 color & b/w stereo 2010 France by Frank Beauvais production : Les films du belier distribution : Les films du belier "Un 45 tours de Cheveu" is a Frank Beauvais's movie for the band "Cheveu" (Born Bad Records), with two songs from their 2009 EP : "Like a deer in the headlights" and "C'est ça l'amour".

Untamed Reality2mn40 color stereo 2009 Sweden by Anders Weberg self-production self-distribution The Morning after the Day before.  V3 (Collapse)10mn20 color mono 2009 France by Christian Lebrat self-production self-distribution Swallowed in the emptiness with a dull and gloomy noise, the face gradually vanishes with a recurring rocking motion.  Valstar Requiem4mn48 color & b/w stereo 2009 France by Antoine Miserey self-production self-distribution This video is built according to a (very) free adaptation of the television film Gilles Deleuze's alphabet primer realized by Pierre-André Boutang and Claire Parney (1988-89/1996), and more particularly of the letter "D", "Desire". The soundtrack, a feminine voice(vote), quotes Deleuze. Antoine Miserey realizes here a video consisted of fragments of films which evoke personal, amateur films, memories (souvenirs) of holidays in the minimal narrative contents. The "heroines" ("heroin") of these short histories are feminine faces (figures) which appear by moment and which seem to be the objects of this desire, the subject of which would be the voice-over, another woman. It is thus question of escaped (fleeting) desires of a woman for women, in particular environments which are appropriate (clean) for them, the "layouts" ("organizations") about which speaks Deleuze. This video can so appear as a continuation (suite) of memories (souvenirs). The title, a mark (brand) of beer, in the rough tones, evokes maybe on the contrary the rough drive, and between contrasts it with the gently nostalgic contents of the video. Emilie Bouvard  Variations sur l'exode13mn33 color & b/w stereo 2010 France by Dania Reymond self-production self-distribution Film variations on the figure of man who walks.  Variations, la plage de monsieur Hulot3mn46 color stereo 2009 France by Siegfried Bréger self-production self-distribution It's a variation at the different time which pass and overlap. There happens nothing and however there happens something, opposite of daily life.  Vendetta3mn20 color stereo 2009 France by Christophe Guérin self-production distribution : Light cone The accident of projection - the still burning - becomes a principle of writing. To an image devastated by fire, supposed remained subliminal, follows another burnt as well. A fire film takes shape, whose violence is reinforced by the soundtrack, dialogue chopped of firearms, limousines and groans of agony.  What do you think of me ?16mn b/w stereo 2009 Finland by Kika Nicolela self-production self-distribution During an art residency in Finland, the Brazilian artist Kika Nicolela invites local people to shoot her with a camera and describe her in Finish.  Wound Footage6mn06 color stereo 2009 Germany by Thorsten Fleisch self-production self-distribution Source material is a found footage super 8 film. The visual carrier was attacked in a multitude of ways. It was scratched, cut open and violated. I captured an attempt to screen it. There it burned and was destroyed by the projector. Sorry little film. With the video footage I provoked the encoding. As a result some pixels were dislocated. In the end I reshot the film from the monitor while I somehow angered the cables that connect the monitor with my computer. That all may sound very negative and destructive to you dear reader but the goal was an almost humanist one: Unification of the digital with the anologue world. They seem so far apart and yet they aren't. By exposing every material's weaknesses and injuries it was made one. It's all visual sensations in the end. Rita Hayworth grindily sings along.  YU (lluvia)11mn color stereo 2009 Spain by Josep M. Jordana & Léos Ator self-production self-distribution 雨 or in pingying Yŭ means rain in Chinese. This video was realized jointly by Léos Ator and Josep M Jordana. Every sequence of this video was improvised by Yungchu Sun. More than actress, Yungchu Sun is dancer. His body interprets an invocation to rain of which imagined us the ritual, where she abandons herself to the expectation, borrowing from water his passivity. This video belongs to a cycle that inspires itself metamorphosises of the 5 elements as themselves represent them the Chinese traditions : water, wood, fire, earth, metal. Rain, is worth here for water.  « Feux de la lampe »1mn31 b/w stereo 2009 France by Flo Arrieu self-production self-distribution Unique static shot, lighted by a high-key maximum, overexposes a person sat and immobile. Only the breathing of subject assures that they view well a video, the time when lasts of the sonore band. The film ends by one low-key, instant when the character leaves and puts the searchlight out.  « Paris »1mn11 color stereo 2009 France by Flo Arrieu self-production self-distribution Plan nocturnal sequence of a house (portrays castle), revealed in darkness by a sober lighting drawing its general form with a superimposing of luminous zones. The soundtrack, collage of several film extracts, give its miserable sense to the picture.  « PATRIE »1mn21 color stereo 2009 France by Flo Arrieu self-production self-distribution A plan unique sequence plays on acceleration and a slowing down in link with the soundtrack. The importance of the visible and of the hiding is illustrated by fleeting pictures of vegetables, of wire nettings, of houses or road panels. These are filmed frontalement. The soundtrack is a collage of several film clips in voice-over.  « Road movie »0mn21 color stereo 2009 France by Flo Arrieu self-production self-distribution Static shot filmed by the interieur of a car. A lorry charged with straw, a road, nothing if it is not the question setting of a voice-over. |
