.wave
3mn   color   mono   2001   France
by Cédric Van Eenoo

It's about a loop. the image is that of a wave which passes back and forth before the spectators eye. A rhythm is created by the sound and the incessant coming and going of the sea. Through and by the sound, it is possible to confuse this editing with the real rhythm which a wave can create. This sequence represents a perfect loop because the return is identical in every way to the departure point. This image is fished from nature, but the editing makes a hypnotic, turned away version.

This movie looks at the female body in a new way - through new light, and at the same time - looks at the border line between video and film - movement and stillness.

An elegy to our small selves
10mn   color   stereo   2002   USA
by Anita Chang

Calmly but desperately I attempt to link the disappearing animal and human worlds. Interfacing the -disappearing- technologies of Super -8mm and 16mm image projection, with the raw technology of immediacy and reality that is video. Captive images of animals and humans in raw form are juxtaposed and documented in a way that speaks more tothe current identity crises of the human race and ultimately, the fragility of beauty, nature and humanity.

Contemporaries
4mn30   b/w   stereo   2001   Belgium
by Karen Vanderborght

This clip is made for and inspired by the music of the Lofi Finnish group Kiila. As does the song, the images provoke a naive message "The people who live around you, are your contemporaries". The beginning shows the situation of the spectators (at the cinema, in front of the television, in everyday life)who are watching the actions of people of diverse appearance, before the absent camera. Everything finishes with a childish game between image and music. This video is part of a compilation of clips entitled “Killa-Heartcore-video”, which will be released in the summer of 2002.

Déjà Loin
4mn58   color   stereo   2001   France
by François Paris

François Paris's images, on the face of it, seem to be a simple succession of images borrowed from an everyday world… We are suddenly plunged into personal feelings : a poetry of colours, a contrast of day and night, absence and presence. Each one of her images is a reminiscence, a known sensation, a journey where we are aware of the initial departure point, but not the destination or arrival. Could it be that the work is to create an opening to elsewhere ? The images of the real, transformed, are they not a trampoline which transports us from the finite to infinite ?

[ekimoz]
5mn20   color   stereo   2001   France
by Damien Larrain & Sylvain Lemaire

"[ekimoz]" is first of all born from pure graphic and visual will. It appears as a succession and overlapping of paintings which absorb each other in a contemplative whirlwind of colours, asperity and materials. Its graphic texture participates in the mineral, vegetable and animal universe(...) This musical entity,linked to the phonetic symbol of the title, tenses towards a fissure, an asperity of being. Also the flesh itself of the images is contaminated, it wipes out, sucked by the colour of the sonic flux which pulls along and dies with it, drowned by the bluish rain of an "[ekimoz]".

Flux
18mn   b/w   sil   2000   Portugal
by Frédéric Dupuy

The editing is a looping of running water on a train window. a sequence of extreme luminosity which drives me to keep silence as the indispensable element for penetrating this glow. The landscape arrives in the instant where it is no longer possible for me to frame the flux...the downpour is finished. The elements on that border the track mange to contaminate the screen creating another flux.

Hintergrund
4mn05   color   stereo   2000   France
by Éric Bernaud

The video project "Hintergrund" is born of a double game, musical and visual, by applying the principals of sound and image remix. Mogway remixes the title "Formant" by Pluramon. The original elements of the video Formant by the director Dr Heike Sperling are re-used, re-filmed, triturer destroyed and added to other images. The pixel once narrative becomes abstraction, the residual substance is the rhythm for a coding of image. What is original about it.

Images
3mn50   b/w   mono   2001   France
by Pierre-Yves Cruaud

Two points of view of the same series of shots, are presented through two different frames. Sculptures come to life, while humane face tries to fit in between them. The research of a true point of view interrogates the images of this video. A vibratory movement, with different rhythms, crosses the two screens and provokes a sparkling of the images. By exploring different levels of visibility, an interrogation about the persistence of vision is constructed. Are we nearer to the images or to their deletion.

Jeunes filles au canapé
7mn   color   mono   2002   France
by Stéphanie Arpage

It's about a strip-tease. Three young girls, young women rather evolving around a sofa. It's Laure, Leyla and Peggy. They effectively undress and not a lot else happens. Except they walk dance as well, sit and wait or smoke. In fact the film cuts into three types of scene. That where NOTHING happens, the scenes of ALMOST NOTHING and the ACTIONS.

L'hôtel des vies reproductibles
3mn   color   mono   2000   France
by Pierre-Yves Cruaud

The private life of several individuals is unveiled before surveillance cameras installed in the rooms that they have borrowed. The film interrogates the role of a calera which has the assigned function of a witness. The eye of the camera captures a number of individuals who become less and less important as it progrsses along its frontal advance... the objective of the camera is to isolate one of the hotels inhabitants, but its gesture will not be very much appreciated.

Light Study No. 1: "Pitch"
5mn30   color   mono   2001   Australia
by Kisten Packham

I had been listening to glitch music, and I liked the way that every particle of the sound had attention paid to it, had sigifiance - I wanted to try to do the same thing in the video track. When using the camera, I was drawn to luminosity - to me light has qualities very similar to pitch and tonality of sound and I wanted to make a piece which depicted this correlation... I manipulate the material that has more to do with the final work than the source of the sonic or visual material.

"Two countries, two towns, a body projected into two universes... We cross a frontier, we discover a new territory... don't create a rupture because the Town is a space in oneself, a concept that we are invited to reinvent Organ's become roads, the paths to a brain emitter / transmitter of emotions that redesign intimacy. It is no longer the body which inhabits the space but the space which inhabits the body : fusion.This One, perfect number... assembles the spaces... We talk about presence." Solène Bertrand

It's a collage of images album often stolen imagining what a face taken out of its proper tale can tell following other images, the poetry appears by simple union. It's finding again ones proper reflection in the shadow of anonymous silhouettes, giving them the words of another to speak, just look at the beauty. It's a gift for this music that inspires it.
