"1997" Fond noir
10mn   color   sil   2003   France
by Edwige Mandrou

Between 1997 and 2001, I was a student at the School Find Arts in Marseilles. I had the habit of making a self portrait at a photo machine, in order to document the many different style of haircuts, which transformed my appearance. In order to keep the same picture quality, I choose always the same photomachine.With a video process call morphing , each selfportrait is animated from one portrait to an other. The identity theme in this video puts the stress on this crucial moment : a metamorphosis from the teenager until the adulthood throught various hairstyles.

The exploration of the limits of our world unceasingly exhile its center - its eden - as the discovery of the mechanisms of our body envelope moved its center of the heart towards the brain. The (eden) video plays of the visual collusions, of representations conveyed by various cultures, reminiscences of our dreams, our myths, our desires, our hopes and our fears.

a/través (crossing)
10mn40   color   stereo   2003   Brazil
by Kika Nicolela

The simple act of crossing rhe street. A banal, daily act, shared by thousands of people in the same city in a single moment ; a corporal mass without identity. In the flux, the comfortable sensation of being anonymous. Suddenly, a rupture happens. The body releases itself and becomes free. This body in suspense starts to express a will and to reinvent itself. But which way should it choose ?

Anna O.

"Anna O." is a strange and penetrating film conceived by a man who watches a woman, that I love, who is never quite the same, who loves me and understands me...Through her face, her changes of attitude and expression, like a chameleon, Anna unveils before the cameras and my film camera. But the caressing and omnipresent sea pulls me to the hidden side of her face that obsesses me. The rhythm and repetition of this editing leaves a trace of well-being and happiness where we could plunge for a moment and forget to exist in order to simply watch the other and love them...

Don't touch me when I start to feel safe
4mn30   color   stereo   2003   Austria
by Brigitta Bödenauer

The video is dealing with systems of safeness represented by architecture and the body as reliable structures that are being intervened by moments of "touch" from "outside". Those interferences produce a fragile stability, a constant repetition of fading, melting, collapsing and recomposing. To the sound of Ivan Pavlov (COH) - in a final cascade of backbones,statues and urban environments - the image itself starts absorbing this rhythm of fluctuation between security and irritation.

by Michele Beck & Jorge Calvo

"For to End Yet Again" is an experimental, non-narrative, philosophical investigation, which uses technology to alter and shape reality. In "For to End Yet Again", motion is not progress, but rather circularity and repetition. Time passes and as much as there is change, there is also the realization that we end up where we started. The video works with the body as an object that creates and carries time through motion. Through the process of video editing, the speed and rhythm of time are altered and reorganised. Sound is manipulated to become an aggressive element, which disturbs and breaks continuity.

Focusing on light and texture, Inbetween is a study of signal and image decay between the anlog and digital world of film and video. Starting as found 16mm film, the material has been interpreted and modified as it moves back and forth between digital and analog processing systems. Images of airplanes dominate, their suspension is associated with the space that surrounds them; they are neither her nor there, but repetitively percing on screen space. They move to the long, low sounds originated through audio loops created in an Internet streaming process. The edge of the frame also acknowledges what is usually not seen, making its presence known as a reoccuring element. While the video itself was born out of technical inquiry, the tonality located in the emotional; the distance created via processing evokes longing, and disquiet.

"Internal Friction" consists of energy constellations of heterogeneous intensities.

The account seems amnesic of its plans and the character. The events are reiterated infinitely. One is in a time of repetition... In addition, the acceleration and the geometrical multiplication of the movement, the complexity of the activities of the character, their mathematical cutting and the infinite rearrangement of the body give to the spectator a new conscience time, without assigned limits.

Starring L.A.
8mn10   color   stereo   2002   USA
by Spencer Stair

I started "Starring L.A." by taking a map of Los Angeles and drawing a circle around downtown. I then drew a five-point star inside the circle. I filmed from each of the points of the star for one full day. Because of the bad air quality in "L.A." it took almost a year to find five clear days. I then put the camera on my car and drove around the city along the line of the circle which I initially had drawn on the map. The image which I included with the videotape shows the five points from which I filmed and the area which is visible from the angle of the camera. Thus the viewable area of the video demarcates the body of the star. The path that I drove demarcates the circle around the star. The audio consists of sounds recorded during filming and thesound of a film projector. I believe by making this video I placed a curse on the entire city of Los Angeles.

This performance video addresses a conflict of spectatorships - dialectics relationship in memory, interpretation and reality. A young woman sits in front of the camera. Her face dramatically obscures by make-up and a synthetic wig. She describes a strange experience she had with her husband in a theater. The subject shows the inability to discourse the memory and personnal identity through the complexities of langage and logic. The justaposition of life videos is taken from three different perspectives. Memory, present and fantasy are unexpectedly synched and un-synched. There is an affair. Or is there? There is an actress. Or is there? This scenario dramatically raises the question of the realities through an experiment in narrative, performance and video.

This section cover the area between Paradox Colorado on the southwestern slopes of the Rocky Mountains to Valley of Fire Nevada, in the Mojave Desert. Along the way I pass through Moa Utah, Monument Valley Arizona, and Zion National Park...

Two or three things I know about Ohio
2mn16   color   mono   2002   USA
by Dan Boord & Luis Valdovino

"Two or three things I know about Ohio" is a charming parody of travel documentary and a quick funny American satire that pays homage to this Great Lakes state. Ohio is known for many things: the Amish, 19th Century farms, humidity, and small towns. Other little knows attractions include an annual parade of twins from all over the world, a live bait dispenser machine that competes with Pepsi for your dollar, the Longaberger Company World Headquaters...

Untitled
4mn   b/w   stereo   2003   Ireland
by Ciaran O Cearnaigh

This short experimental piece is based on the life of 18th Century Irish patriot Anne Devlin. She was captured, interrogated and questioned by soldiers during the first organised armed rebellion in Ireland in 1798. A rebellion which was directly influenced by the success of the French Revolution. On being questioned and tortured in jail she refused to speak or give any answers. Because of her silence, members of her family were executed by hanging. The video explores the idea of silence as being not a sign of weakness - but an act of defiance. The Irish actress Brid Brennan appears in the video. She originally played the role of Anne Devlin in Irish film director Pat Murphys 1983 Film, ANNE DEVLIN.

Urban - solitude 1
4mn45   color   stereo   2004   France
by François Paris

As of April 2003, I undertook a video project which consisted of filming as close to reality and as often as possible, two untypical people of my entourage. Under a poetic and intimate angle, what was revealed by their silent interrogations, was the perpetual anxeity of their seamless existence and the omnipresence of boredom. Lost in their respective universes, they forget the world in tandem, their force lies in their power of inertia over the exterior.

Vivantes lueurs
10mn   b/w   stereo   2003   France
by Pierre-Yves Cruaud

The cinematographic device is put in action and tries to awake what does not belong yet to the lapse of memory. The chronic instability of my memory is hung up again with memories with the fragile indices. A kind of childbirth of the image occurs.

Vortex
3mn   color   stereo   2002   USA
by Michele Beck & Jorge Calvo

"Vortex" is an experimental video with two performers whose heads are wrapped in packing tape with the sticky side out. In a non-narrative format, the video uses the relationship between image and sound to explore the struggle between connection and separation.

Wave / Wake
8mn40   color   stereo   2002   USA
by Brook Hinton

"Wave/Wake" (2002) examines emotional states before and after a cataclysmic event. Beginning with a suggestion of ocean waves braking and receding, the piece places ordinary phenomena in the shadow of the 9/11/01 attack on New York and Washington DC through temporal manipulation of both media coverage and street videography. The piece functions as an emotional record and as a critique of mass media response to tragedy.

Wheel of fortune
10mn50   color   mono   2004   USA
by Kara Hearn

The light, lyrical video juxtaposes the illusory television dramatics of the Wheel of Fortune game show with 49 images of a comparatively even-keeled, anonymous life in all its quiet, beautiful and mundane glory. My assignment was to meditate on a specific aspect of god and capture a corresponding shot each day for the 49 days leading up to All Souls Day, November 1. I adapted the practice from the Jewish custom of the Counting of the Omer, 49 days to purifying the soul. I was drawn to the thorough methodical practice and daily abstraction of considering the sum and substance of life itself. The Wheel of Fortune adds an element of drama and chance that we play substance of life itself. The resulting piece is a personnal deliberation on the cycles and rhythms of daily life.
