df/dx
Thomas Helman
USA 2007, 6’15
An overexposed spiralling descent of false-awakenings
into the recurrent nightmare of alienation and the subsequent clockwork
manufacture of an insatiable desire for unity. An abject refutation
of closure of any form.

Head
F Dufour-Laperriere, D Simard
Canada 2007, 4’00
A short American memory made from manipulated
found footage. |
 |
Material
Boran Richard
Canada 2006, 6’30
An impulse animates the material, between
gravity and weightlessness, the bodies are exchanged. 'Material'
is a visual work which tests the fragile link between the sexual
instinct, prisoner of the body, and the glimpse of the spiritual
that can occur in making love. |

I’ve Got
A Guy Running
Jonathon Kirk
USA 2007, 8’00
The film uses footage released by the US Department of Defence
from the Iraq war. It uses pixelation and edge-detection (Rob Cross)
algorithms to capture the subject matter in a different context. |
 |
Did I Tell You
Marianne Hayden
USA 2007, 5’15
Three nocturnal visions offer an altered perception of reality.
Chaos and confusion are added to what are normally peaceful environments
and these elements are also extracted from busy landscapes to create
ones which are more serene and sterile. |
 |
..As They Pass…/Mnemosyne
01
B Bodenauer
Austria 2007, 6’00
"Keep running… Touch walls…
Keep moving… Take a breath…" The motifs of the
film are repeated: the corner of an interior space with large windows
and wooden slats on its red floor. Flies on glass. Broken panes.
Someone wrote "…despair is often…" in the
dust on one with their fingers. |
 |
Under Twilight
Jean-Gabriel Periot
France 2006, 6’00
An alternative look at the changing light
rhythms of any given day. |
 |
Lucid Dreaming
Jaehyung Ju
Korea 2006, 6’30
During 'Lucid Dreaming', one realises
that the dream is not reality and we are able to think and discern
just as when one is awake. Strange abstract dreams… |
 |
EnergIE!
Thorsten Fleisch
Germany 2007, 5’00
From a mere technical point of view the tv/video screen comes
alive by controlled beams of electrons in the cathode ray tube. In
'Energie!' an uncontrolled high voltage discharge of approx. 30,000
volts exposed photographic paper which was then arranged in time to
create new visual systems of electron organisation. |

Computer 69
Marjan Moghaddam
USA 2006, 2’30
A collaboration between New York City
based digital artist/animator Marjan Moghaddam and guitarist/composer
Adam Caine. The animation consists of a computer-generated 3D environment
that uses a sound file for audio triggering. The result is a combination
of both automatic movement rooted in emergent VJing techniques alongside
traditional keyframed animation. |

SHADE Lost
Jean Detheux
Canada 2007, 7’00
|
 |
Landfill
Philip Sanderson
UK 2007, 2’00
Some topographic sedimentary contoured
yodelling animation – really! |
 |
Changing Evan
Steven Woloshen
Canada 2007, 1’15
A little film about the filmmaker’s
daughter, Evan. Just when he thinks everything is going well, Evan
gets the chicken pox. |
 |
Study #40
Lia
Austria 2007, 10’00
A minimal and focused exploration of visual or audial patterns
is the signature of these collaborators - as is the flow and evolution
of the patterns, punctuated with minute changes of rich detail and
intense abstraction. |
