For Sore Eyes 2mn17 color stereo 2006 Sweden by Anders Weberg "For Sore Eyes" is another exploration of the ambivalence of the male gaze and gendered (dis)order. It is a suggestive reflection of life in the pyrotechnic, in sanatarium of consumerism freedom. But what is really freedom ? self-production self-distribution Festival 2007 [ pr. identity ] clip
Sönemböör 12mn40 color stereo 2006 France by Samuel Bester Fifth volet of a work started in 1996 on the island Sylt (North Germany) to evoke by image and sound the fragility of the landscape and the feelings we can have regarding a place which disappearance is announced. self-production self-distribution Festival 2007 [ pr. space ] clip
Body of war II 4mn37 color stereo 2007 France by Isabelle Schneider War on all tv's. I keep you in mind. self-production self-distribution Festival 2007 [ pr. sense ] clip
Infinite Trajectory 12mn23 color & b/w stereo 2005 Germany by Christin Bolewski "Infinite Trajectory" is an audiovisual essay inspired by a text of the French Philosopher Jean Baudrillard dealing with topics of a post-modern society : Electronic mass media collapse space and time barriers in human communication, enabling us to interact and live on a global scale, where we are losing the identity of ourselves and the concept of space. self-production self-distribution Festival 2007 [ pr. perception ] clip

Psycho(s) 12mn color & b/w stereo 2005 China by Yuk-Yiu IP & ST "Psycho(s)" is a live remix of Alfred Hitchcok’s Psycho and Gus Van Sant’s remake in 1998. Running on custom software that edits the films in real-time, "Psycho(s)" juxtaposes and condenses the two films that were made almost 40 years apart into a hypnotic stream of mirror images. The images and sounds, drifting in and out of sync, create a perpetual state of cinematic déjà vu that haunts and confuses both the original and its double. "Psycho(s)" recycles the original narratives, forming new poetic associations in an endless cycle of parallel edits. self-production self-distribution Festival 2007 [ pr. perception ] clip
Mini-series 11mn47 color stereo 2007 USA by Kara Hearn "Mini-series" is a chain of events drawn from stories, dreams, first-hand experiences, and fantasies. Each scene utilizes the techniques of cinema the simplest possible ways to create narratives that are stripped of everything but the pathos inherent in the medium. The artist worked alone, playing every role and using whatever props and costumes were on hand. self-production self-distribution Festival 2007 [ pr. time ] clip
A year 26mn color stereo 2006 USA by Mark Street A tattered diary film. Middle age concerns swirl around me in Brooklyn and follow to North Carolina, and New Orleans (before the storm) and back home again. Video journal entries mix with 35mm abstract film images, sublime and inviting, suggesting and elegy for celluloid. As friends drift away I retreat into myself. Solipsism beckons, and I stave it off, barely. I contemplate my body falling apart, my kids growing up, changes and disappearances. self-production self-distribution Festival 2007 [ pr. time ] clip
