N/A

5.0

Imperceptihole

A correspondence film: rolls of high contrast black and white film were sent back and forth in the mail over the course of a year until the film began to reveal itself as a science non-fiction fairy tale, a speculative quest – circling and searching, falling and landing, entering and exiting – to recapture elisions in light caught within and between seasons, states, planes and worlds.

N/A

Bild Quilt

Bild Quilt is a interesting little DVD project from the young avant-garde filmmaker Lori Felker that blurs the lines between harsh noise and psychedelia, experimental film, and digital collage art. Bild means “image” in German, and the crux of this project was to create a “virtual quilt” of original short films from Lori that are set to new peices of music that she commissioned from a variety of underground artists including Cotton Museum, Carlos Giffoni, Bradley Heiple, Intro to Pterodactyl, Leslie Keffer, Dave Kuzy, Jim Lingo, Mesaplex, Irene Moon, Jeffrey Schreckengost, Mike Shiftlet, Adam Strohm, Torus, Weasel Walter, C. Spencer Yeh, and Scott Young, with the only stipulation being that each piece of music need be exactly two minutes in length.

N/A

The Mennonite Federation

A mysterious, amusing, semi-nostalgic ramble through a small town in Iowa gives way to what may be the U.S.S. Enterprise indulging in a bit of time travel. Dialogue contrasts the pleasures of the simple life with its hardships and the mere act of looking at a patch of mums is complicated by the addition of a loupe that both blurs and sharply focuses each flower.

Spontaneous

You never know when someone is miscarrying; it could be happening right next to you.

Mere Mystery

On the trail of Tall Tales, on a tour of an American treasure, on the path of an area once inhabited by people we don’t know, people we’ve never met, on a land complete with gift shops, parking lots, and sky rides, at the foot of a tree that predates and outlasts all of this, we now insert ourselves into a fog of layers.

N/A

Across & Down

Frame by frame, letter by letter, this film aligns riddles/answers from 6 rolls of Super-8, with the structure, poetry and imagery posed by Ugandan crossword puzzles. Across & Down is a study of simultaneous simplicity and complexity and the resulting serendipity and chaos.

FUTURE LANGUAGE: The Dimensions of VON LMO

A distorted portrait of an artist that explores storytelling, ego, delusion, conviction and memory. VON LMO is a musician/artist and self-proclaimed alien-hybrid who was a part of the late 70s New York No Wave music scene. Between trips to his home planet of Strazar and multi-dimensional travel, VON has also spent some very real time in prison and on the streets of Earth. Challenged with translating his Future Language for audiences across the galaxy, Lori, our filmmaker and VON LMO fan, gets sucked into VON's orbit and finds herself lost in his story.

N/A

Deceive with Belief

We are faking, lying, performing, stretching, translating, doctoring, manipulating, mistaking, working, earning, trying, reporting, deceiving, interpreting, demonstrating, sinking. "We're surrounded by images. Most art is in a frame, you know it isn't real, it's in a frame. But in addition to just referring to being surrounded by images, it's to a feeling of being immersed in the scene, not being separate from the scene, not being an external viewer, of something that happens, but being part of it." - Dan Sandin (edited and taken out of context). Commissioned for "Countering Fake News in Russia and the US" by Media Burn Video Archive

7.0
