Description
The PuddleSerdar Yilmaz10 min., video, 2015, Turkey“A man in the flea market walks while checking walls covered with old posters and counters full of stuff with prying eyes. Due to the incarnating object that he sees on one of the counters just carries him away into another reality.” SYOn SurgeryRussell Sheaffer & Aaron Michael Smith8 min., Video, 2015, USA“On Surgery attempts to replicate the physical process of bone surgery on the body of 16mm film stock. By wetting raw, unprocessed 16mm color negative film, separating out the photosensitive emulsion from the base of the film using a medical scalpel, and then reapplying the layers, the only images visible are representative of the scars left on the film. The music for the film is taken entirely from the sound of the projection of the 16mm film and from a reading of one of Sheaffer’s post-surgical diary entries. “ RSVintage PrintSigfried A Fruhauf13 min., Video, 2016, Austria“An old photograph forms the starting point of my exploration. The picture must have been taken towards the end of the 19th century, at a time when film had just been invented and pictures were only starting to move. Its origins date back to a phase of transition between the still and the moving image. By creating a wide variety of duplications of a single image i am trying to translate it into the temporal and contemporary nature of film.” SFConversations With The Dead: Birth Caul BardoIrving Gamboa4 min., 16mm on video, 2016, USA“A chemically treated and rust bathed hallucinatory vision of the Tibetan Bardos. A film about the cyclical rhythms of dream and myth: A subterranean rorschach tapestry of bardo-themed symbols.” IGThe BetrayalSusan Young6 min., video, 2015, UK“A woman trusts her psychiatrist, but becomes enmeshed in his prescriptive web. At its dark heart, The Betrayal is a twisted, deadly love affair.” SYThe Immortal JellyfishColin West McDonald9 min., video, 2015, USA“After misreading her clock, Claire goes on an existential crusade to discover the truth behind time itself.” CMIn the Sky of your Thoughts what the Clouds AreCraig Webster15 min., video, 2015, USA“A spandex-clad wanderer is led by a boy into a strange world.” CWBang UtotFabio Scacchioli & Vincenzo Core26 min., video, 2016, USA“A diaphanous shadowed woman rests beyond the confine of thousand liquefied nights, writes her secret on a piece of paper and, speechless, asks the uncovered sky if it’s true what they say, that beyond the tides live creatures made out of dreams. Is it a dream the dream that I see? Is it a sound the sound that I hear? The image, seeing itself in the mirror, says: it is not that what I show you that matters, but what I conceal, what vanishes beyond the boundary of the visible.” FS,VC
