"They're about being myself ; combining experiments and impulses from my life. The video shoot is a process between the chemical and the optical, which revealed inner parts in post-production. What I want to transmit to the spectator is the way in which I watch myself and the body ; it’s an shared intimate eye that can be used by everybody."  3 in 15mn46 color stereo 2008 Lithuania by Evaldas Jansas production : Estudija self-distribution Scissoring pictures of naked women, hearing gossiping on an unlucky neurosurgeon, viewing of a weather-forecast-lady pointing at a huge brain projection.

I would lay emphasis on the original questions that inspired my work in this occasion. Is time, beside common perceptions, besides the narratives that media so easily tend to foster, really a monolithic institution? What does it happen when we try to unpack time? Can we apply to time the same tools we normally deploy when questioning the monolithic representation of space, for instance by using the play of perspective, direction, and illusion?...  a doll's house is……5mn48 color stereo 2007 USA by Henry Gwiazda self-production self-distribution "a doll's house is......" is a work which explores the artistic connection between movement that occurs in an apartment building, other units in that building and the exterior world.

AMPLIFICATION13mn color stereo 2008 France by Tristan Mory self-production self-distribution A man is seated on a red sofa. He knocks. He screams. He groans. He plays with water. He eats.

This video shows us the story of a young woman’s confused mind, visualizing forbidden and hidden memories, fantasies, dreams and emotions combined with historical events and popular culture, putting a lot of attention in female history.

Appartement 279mn34 color dolby stereo 2007 France by Elodie Francheteau self-production self-distribution As if fantasy would become bodies, places, energy and movement. Beyond the stage, elsewhere, where everything is played, an intimate universe, where the bodies are expressions of the soul and its desires. A series of six scenes, a unique choreographic and cinematographic vision, almost secret. Far from the logic of exhibitionism, before our eyes a dance of seduction and bewitchment plays out, where we lose our souls and bodies in a series of moving tableaux.

Beach9mn47 color stereo 2007 Italy by Pietro Mele self-production self-distribution In the summer avalanche of tourists precipitate on this beach. Although it is shown in a grey winter day, we can clearly see the traces of the last touristic season on the sand... A subliminal text (an advertising from a note tourist agency), acts as a counterpoint to the desolation of the show. So the text about a Sardinia as an "Holidays dream" absurdly contrasts with a much less exciting reality, made up of a consumeristic and barbaric mass tourism.  Beautiful landscape #11mn46 color stereo 2007 Italy by Pietro Mele self-production self-distribution The unexpected takeoff of a plane breaks the quiet of a peaceful landscape.

Itinérance10mn color stereo 2009 Israel by Dan Vainuska & Omri Krikeb self-production self-distribution A summer night during the Avignon Festival. Streets are crowded with people and artists. Even so, "The Man of the Crowd" is alone and doesn’t flow with the stream of people. He wanders through the maze of little streets in an endless spiral from which he can not escape. The urban expanse, the claustrophobic atmosphere of the city's alleys and the strangeness of the characters, create a surrealistic impression that reflects the thoughts running through his head.  KITCHEN ANGELS16mn36 color stereo 2008 Canada by Mary Ann Lacey self-production distribution : Groupe Intervention Vidéo "Kitchen Angels" is a witty choreographic story following two women's evolution from the drudgery of household chores to a fantastic transformation through the glamorization of mundane domestic locations. The women's imaginations set them free through a series of frescoes inspired by the grand entrances of 1940s-style song and dance films of FredAstaire, Eleanor Powell, Esther Williams, Moira Shearer and Betty Davis. The film's soundtrack is paramount in supplementing the narrative, which is expressed through movement as it parallels the women's journey. The soundtrack is also a journey spanning from original electronic music to tango-inspired contemporary jazz piano and a classic turn of the century bandoneón.  L'ARAIGNÉE6mn19 color stereo 2008 Canada by Frédérick Belzile self-production distribution : Groupe Intervention Vidéo Made with a single long take, "L'Araignée" proposes by a simple sound transformation; a shift, or more precisely a shifting of a public space into a private space. The video sequence presents a pedestrian shopping street in which a character emerges and a narration is recounted.  L'or de la vie3mn color stereo 2008 Algeria by Haimer Mourad self-production self-distribution A young man who is wasting water every time he enters the bathroom and cleaning of the car without paying attention. Once when he was in the bathroom he dreams he is at the water basin and water is punished for all that he has committed, the young man regretted what he did and more he finds a simple solution to solve the problem of wastage of water during showering or cleaning the car.

Compilation, 12 instants d'amour non partagé (Compilation, 12 moments of unshared love) came out of this. All summer long, every day from June 21st to September 21st, I asked him to come to my place to listen to music. This music was to become the sole form of dialogue between us two, telling him about my feelings, teasing him, soothing him, pushing him...

LE CANAL DES DEUX MERS2mn50 color stereo 2008 Canada by Aurélie Pedron self-production distribution : Groupe Intervention Vidéo Two moving bodies reveal the poetry of a place, the fleeing of flowing time. "Le canal des deux mers" is a dance video constructed on the idea of the body as an empty space rather than a full space : a rift through which can be revealed something other than ourselves.  Le monde est immense9mn color stereo 2007 France by Muriel Montini self-production self-distribution A summer’s day in the countryside. A woman is sewing.

Light - Years12mn24 color stereo 2008 Japan by Kotaro Tanaka self-production self-distribution Cinema has represented numerous pasts, presents and even unknown futures. The concept of this work is a kind of unknown futures. What are they listening to, talking about and gazing at? Rather they may be doing something unexplainable by languages, somewhere several light years away.  Lointain Souvenir D’enfance6mn20 color stereo 2009 France by Dominique Comtat production : Imagie distribution : Imagie "There are experiences about which most people are ashamed to speak of, because they escape daily reality, and because they can’t be given any rational interpretation. I am not talking about particular experiences of the outside world, but about processes that occur inside of us (...) The familiar image of the environment suddenly undergoes a surprising metamorphosis ; magnificent or terrible, it appears under another day, takes a particular meaning (...) Of my childhood, I kept, profoundly burnt in my memory, the souvenir of one of these delights" Albert Hofmann : " LSD, mein sorgenkind "  LOL CON5mn22 color stereo 2007 Croatia by Ante Kuduz production : Croatian Film Clubs’ Association distribution : Croatian Film Clubs’ Association Ante Kuduz's animated film 'LOL-CON' is a translation of the distinctive visual-art hand and author's point of view into film's language. If you look at it from productional or directorial aspect it represents a hybrid between classic, 2D hand 'animation' and digital picture postproduction, giving out important characteristic of contemporary film pieces which is, after all, an intention to spread and expand the notion of 'animation'.  Love and Words44mn20 color dolby stereo 2007 France by Sylvie Ballyot production : Ostinato Production self-distribution I go to Yemen to film a yemeni woman. The shooting stops a few days later because it puts her life in danger. What to film now that what I wanted to shoot in the first place turns out to be impossible ?

MALA SMRT / LA PETITE MORT7mn20 color stereo 2007 Croatia by Damir Cucic production : Croatian Film Clubs’ Association distribution : Croatian Film Clubs’ Association The starting point of the film is documentary footage of an electrical device burning insects and bugs. Registered mass death transforms from an organic image to a digital recording from which the imaginary deadly seed weaves its macabre dance, finally plunging the spinning death into the never-ending lunar colour where the beings shortly resurrect.  MAMÁ5mn color stereo 2008 Spain by Bruno Vasquez production : Perro Maligno Films distribution : PROMOFEST My mum, my house, my childhood memories, sensations, textures… Memories are just but a subjective perception.  Marina Stares at the Future5mn color sil 2008 Spain by Theo Firmo self-production self-distribution “Marina stares at the Future” is part of a series of videos entitled “Slow Portraits”.  Memories at the Banff Springs Hotel11mn12 color stereo 2007 Canada by Suzanne Caines self-production self-distribution In Memories at the Banff Springs Hotel, I am asking random people if they could share a special memory with me. I do not specify what the memory should be; this is left open to their interpretation. With this piece I was also interested in the construction of a memory. The last person whom I speak with appears to be constructing a memory in order to continue this interaction with me. He has to pause and think hard about his memory, leaving me to question if this was an actual memory or something that he has adapted or restructured during our conversation. How much of this memory is referencing an actual event. I am interested in how memories can change overtime in response to people's ongoing experiences and circumstances. Memories appear to at least be partially constructed in response to people's fears, wishes, and desires.  MEMORIJA VRPCE / MEMORY OF THE TAPE3mn50 color stereo 2007 Croatia by Damir Cucic production : Croatian Film Clubs’ Association distribution : Croatian Film Clubs’ Association "Memory of the Tape" is a trip through the micro world of the digital recording. During the years spent in the editing room, the author has collected a certain amount of digital garbage from different tapes. Another author has, in the course of his work, collected a large amount of audio garbage. The two dumpsites are the audio essence of an abstract visual attraction.

Midplane3mn06 b/w stereo 2007 Netherlands by Jan Willem Deiman self-production self-distribution "Midplane" is a diptych based on spatial shapes that rotate around the y-axis.

My Grandfather Was Taken By The Fairies12mn55 color stereo 2008 Ireland by Michael Fortune self-production self-distribution This work is derived from a six-channel video installation that centres on Fortune’s mother, along with six member of his family, relating superstitious accounts concerning other family members and neighbours. Although intangible, the stories map out the physical world around the family household.  Nebula10mn color stereo 2007 USA by Suzie Silver & Hilary Harp self-production self-distribution Nebula is an immersive spectacle : a trippy audio-visual composition which celebrates both cosmology and camp. Captured for video by stop-motion photography, objects made of glass, glitter, and tulle, are nestled in a kaleidoscopic flow of digital imagery.  nostalgia7mn27 color stereo 2007 Switzerland by Konstantinos-Antonios Goutos (the[video]Flâneu®) self-production self-distribution ...an accidental meeting with a fountain in the city of Aarau (switzerland) (shot, taken-like always-without purpose or plan), wakes up memories of the [video]Flâneu®’s own childhood (back in ’80s greece), asks questions about the naturality of the digital picture, meets Tarkovsky’s film nostalghia... the shot is taken on august 20, 2007 at 2 p.m. with a normal digital video apparatus without tripod without camera moves without a zoom lens without special lighting without extra microphone without effects the sound and the length of the shooting is the original there is no cuts between the scene.

ON THE MARRIAGE BROKER JOKE...17mn color stereo 2009 USA by Land Camera Collective self-production self-distribution "The Land Camera Collective" presents a (nearly) shot-by-shot remake of the Owen Land 1977 classic experimental film 'On The Marriage Broker Joke as Cited by Sigmund Freud in Wit and Its Relation to the Unconscious, or Can the Avant-Garde Artist be Wholed?' – in HD with all new digital special effects.  on the roof4mn16 color stereo 2008 USA by Henry Gwiazda self-production self-distribution "on the roof" is an experiment to discover what artistic event would occur if we could see all the activity around us in the next couple of minutes juxtaposed. Would our actions appear more meaningful? Would a choreography suddenly emerge? Is the motion around us better observed by extending our memory into the past and future simultaneously? Therefore, there are four short scenes in "on the roof" which repeat the same two characters in the same scene but in different locations. In the final scene, all four repetitions are juxtaposed.  one/another18mn23 color mono 2009 USA by Deborah Wing-Sproul self-production self-distribution In today’s political climate, considerable emphasis is placed on culture and cultural identity, primarily focusing on differences between populations. Instead of embracing a polar stereotype of East / West, Ling-Wen Tsai and Deborah Wing-Sproul collaborate out of a shared sensibility with "one another" and to the world at large. "one/another" is a document of their respective explorations of a single interior environment. Their reciprocal approach to space and time makes visible an intangible shared sensibility.  Ottana11mn46 color stereo 2008 Italy by Pietro Mele self-production self-distribution It is dawn. A caravan of men on horseback is slowly swallowed by a factory poisons. This video was set in Sardinia (I), and is a reflection on the impact of the industrial pole of Ottana (1960, in "the green heart of the island") had on the surrounding area, both environmentally and in social point of view (and consequently anthropological). Ottana is the name of a small village near the factory in which many inhabitants die of cancer every year and most people have abandoned their usual jobs related to agriculture and pastoralism.  Out of body experience4mn30 color stereo 2009 USA by Youngsuk Altieri self-production self-distribution The theme of this video concerns the fragility of life. This particular series depicts a part of life when we are perhaps most fragile: when we are asleep. One interesting phenomenon we sometimes experience during sleep is the dream-like process of an out of body experience, where body and mind appear to become disjoint.  Outside15mn color stereo 2008 China by Sérgio Cruz self-production self-distribution The film "Outside" is a work from the “simple” experience of observing Chinese life, a document of outdoor performances in Beijing 24-hour street life. It documents the day-to-day process or act of filmmaking. Perhaps it can be best described as an observer’s view of Beijing as it is today. Scenes of what foreigners and certainly tourist travellers may pick up of this huge and sprawling metropolis. Completely observatory in nature, this film is not a social criticism or a cry for help. It could thus be interpreted as an ethnographic study of movement in contemporary Beijing.  Ozuland00110mn color stereo 2007 Brazil by Carlo Sansolo self-production self-distribution "Ozuland001" is a audio/video/text compilation analysing the old suspects control - mass media - post industrial capitalism - lack consciousness and the like.  Ozuland00210mn color stereo 2007 Brazil by Carlo Sansolo self-production self-distribution The virtual constructions do not have clear or definitive purpose. But being affirmative impresses and his confidence and the dubious and speculative theory is our objective. We are considering these situations on this video.  Passenger5mn color stereo 2007 Brazil by Kika Nicolela production : Dilema Studio self-distribution "PASSENGER" was shot inside a bus on the road to Paris, and testifies the effect of dusk and rain in the moving blurred landscape. The colors and shapes formed by the combination of light and movement evoke a unique trip through an imagined land.  Pathos Mathos59mn color stereo 2007 France by Manuela Morgaine production : Mezzanine Films self-distribution This film closely examines the dark side of passion, often referred to as melancholy and the way it can drown us. A subjective film because it is centered on the intimate elements of the subject, Pathos Mathos follows unique geographical and human paths, from African tribes to an examination of electroshock therapies.  PaysagÊtre22mn color stereo 2009 Canada by Emmanuel Avenel & Marie-France Giraudon self-production self-distribution “LandscapeToBe” interrogates the physical, philosophical and spiritual gap that deepens between human beings and nature. In the form of a right of passage,it constitutes a test of an individual : the crossing of extraordinary and marvelous, simulated landscapes, until an extreme physical experience, a sort of corps a corps with naked nature. Will this laborious quest for symbiosis with nature allow him to find himself, in harmony with the world ?  Plasticage4mn55 color stereo 2007 France by Gabrielle Reiner self-production distribution : Collectif Jeune Cinema A young girl eats noodles that progressively destroy her organism and make her disappear.  Port-a-cath3mn45 color stereo 2008 Canada by Vienne Chan self-production self-distribution The "port-a-cath" is a small medical appliance that is inserted below the skin with a catheter that is surgically connected to a vein. It is often used to deliver chemotherapy. Sometimes, a port-a-cath can be found in the bedroom, with pigeons outside the window.  Preparations for the unknown6mn11 color stereo 2008 Norway by Siri Ekker Svendsen self-production self-distribution A girl is waiting in a wardrobe. These are lots of light bulbs, several mirrors and a door. To make something happen, something has to be risked - and one has to prepare for what’s coming. But what should one prepare for, when what to come still is not knows?  Prepare to Qualify3mn08 color stereo 2008 Canada by Clint Enns self-production self-distribution A circuit "Bent Atari" filled with self doubt struggles to qualify as "good" or "valid" art.  presence1mn30 color stereo 2009 France by Brigitte Perroto self-production self-distribution videopoem  Projection23mn color stereo 2007 France by Yann Champroux production : assocation Makiz'art distribution : assocation Makiz'art Mathieu, around thirty year, dances. But whatever the performed dance, we never make it alone.  Pulp's Faction0mn59 color stereo 2009 Slovenia by Bryan Lauch self-production self-distribution “Ridiculousness” is celebrated in "Pulp’s Factions", a sequence that is to allure wonderment and disrupt familiarity. Wolves howl and ravens holler, yet the environment appears unearthly. A figure enters the scene simply to gather hundreds of sheets of paper that rise up from the ground plane back to a held stack. The stack is re-collected. Memory, incantation, invention, and lost histories are the sources from which the piece derived.  Pursuit of Happiness13mn06 color stereo 2008 USA by Z Collective self-production self-distribution A walking waking victim of the American Dream, slowly drowns in a pool of narcissistic self-reflection.  Que Faire ?75mn color stereo 2008 France by Pierre Merejkowsky production : Les Mutins de Pangée distribution : Les Mutins de Pangée Before the bolchevique revolution, Tolstoïens, Narodniki, left their family. They expected from a meeting with the Mujiks, the release of the universal Revolution. Today, new Narodniki trie to deviate from the artistic road which marks out the respect for the proprieties of their social class. From Zalea Tv (Stalingrad) to the Neva in Saint Petersburg (Leningrad), by the way of the nuclear power station of Chinon, Pierre Merejkowsky begins an internal exile in the Big North of Russia.  Rain3mn26 color stereo 2008 USA by Youngsuk Altieri self-production self-distribution I intended to create an audiovisual interactive environment with this piece. The sounds created by the audience distort the visual image in the same way that reflections in water are disturbed by random environmental debris. The purpose was to depict the activity and beauty seen in natural environments.  Re-generation9mn06 color stereo 2009 Italy by Paride Di Stefano (Paridegitone) self-production self-distribution Atlas supports a world that slowly dies, because of the negative behaviour of the human being. The Planet Earth is transformed in a rubbish dump and then it explodes in order to burn all the evils and generates a better new essence.  Re-reading Rambo6mn05 color stereo 2008 Norway by Arne Vinnem self-production self-distribution "Re-reading Rambo" presents the story about a boy who tries to identify with the legend of Rambo. The video’s narrative is rooted in the process leading from the novel First Blood to the Hollywood adaptation in Rambo: First Blood. A similar process is revealed in "Re-reading Rambo", through the development from the filmmaker’s idea, through the collaboration with the actor and the film-crew, up until the finished film.  Reflection2mn10 color stereo 2008 USA by Youngsuk Altieri self-production self-distribution Moving water fascinates me because of its reflective, unpredictable, and ever changing properties. This work is based on combining 3-dimensional forms with time-based sequences of images. I achieve this juxtiposition by projecting the video onto moving robotic sculptures, which create reflections and distort the image.  Rehearsal in Cairo21mn10 color stereo 2008 USA by Charlotte Harvey self-production self-distribution A group of artists from Baghdad rehearse a new play titled "The Sadness of Neil Armstrong" to be performed for Iraqi Week at an arts Center in Cairo, Egypt.  Reigning Cats and Dogs15mn06 color stereo 2007 Ireland by Michael Fortune self-production self-distribution This film was recorded in the artist’s home in rural Ireland and features various recordings that frame mini incidents involving family pets. Filmed from the animal’s perspective, each fixed-frame shot portrays a domestic-styled wildlife documentary where animals co-exist, share and interact in a house full of humans and other animals.  Rescription1mn43 color stereo 2009 Slovenia by Bryan Lauch self-production self-distribution "Rescription" documents an experimental narrative that engages the question of context. Arising from the ground, sheets of paper drift back to be un-ripped and re-attached to their origin: the book. Rooted in metaphor, the piece stems from memory, modified histories, and the reconfiguration of familiarity.  Résonances7mn16 color stereo 2008 Tunisia by Ismaïl Bahri self-production self-distribution Resonances starts with the prospecting of the bathroom from my childhood. Black inked words written in Arabic on the bathtub surface scatter and propagate progressively. They resonate and echo night scene recollections. Transformed in a resonance chamber, the bathtub mixes the fluids of these evanescent thoughts. By reflecting its surroundings, the ink blurred water surface, overturns and clouds the words. The backward surge of the night reveals the scars of a troubled universe, verging on obliteration.  Room (welcome)4mn48 color sil 2008 Spain by Theo Firmo self-production self-distribution "Room" is not a still image, but a contemporary "still life" that takes place in an artist's studio.

The subject is Henry Kissinger, US secretary of state under president Nixon. The cut ups, un-deciphered code, intriguing intonation and a short aria are extracted from recordings and quotes by Dr. Kissinger.  Short lectures for young artists7mn40 color mono 2007 Poland by Jonas Zagorskas self-production self-distribution What deters young artist from being creative? If you don't belong to some institution and you are responsible only to yourself, then how to find the motivation to create? Thinking about it led me to some experiments, which I documented on video tape.  SIRENAS6mn color dolby stereo 2008 Spain by Alejo Levis production : Life & Pictures S.L. distribution : PROMOFEST She lost the baby. She stares out the window. every night when he arrives home, an argument. One day she told him, a few black women on the street walked strangely, like dancing, they looked like dark sirens. The women enter the building in front, and never leave. he pays no attention. One night he arrived home and she was no longer there. Now he is just looking out the window, until he finally sees, the young women with a pale plastic skin walking towards the building.  Sou um esquilo no mundo3mn color stereo 2009 Brazil by Erika Fraenkel self-production self-distribution The capacity of the questioning that must be encouraged.  Split Pea Soup14mn12 color stereo 2007 Canada by Suzanne Caines self-production self-distribution This performance centres on a transaction or exchange. I have gone to a convenience store during my residency in Portugal and created an “activated situation”. In this piece I have asked participants to share a bowl of split pea soup with me. The sharing of soup is used as a pretext for social interaction. As the piece continues the lines are blurred and there is confusion about what role each of us belong to. On this occasion I am examining how our individual needs and freedoms are altered on a daily basis as we move between public and commercial spaces. The audience is invited to re-evaluate what they think is permissive and the preconceived ideas of normalcy.

Ripatti self-production distribution : Fixc Coop Le vie miserable mit angst-KABOOM!  Strip7mn13 color stereo 2007 USA by Erika Suderburg & Linda Besemer self-production self-distribution A playful rave trance glitch riff on experimental animation fabricated without animation. "STRIP" utilizes painting trimmings and mobilizes them in a skewed homage to the fanciful worlds of early Hans Richter, Oscar Fischinger and Musique Concrete, and 60's Color Field Painting. The static is sent packing in a frenzy of temporal excess and repetition accompanied by the sounds of its own launch.  Substancialidade e metodo10mn color stereo 2009 Brazil by Carlo Sansolo self-production self-distribution The video investigates questions related time. The engagement of the acting subject with history and his relationship to language, aesthetical theories and the kitsh language of the internet.

Which fate awaits the déserter from the Red Army and the illégal Chinese student in Paris ?  The Death of Natural Language2mn54 b/w stereo 2007 Canada by Clint Enns self-production self-distribution "The Death of Natural Language" is an ascii animation of a plane crashing into the ground. The abstracted image mediated by ascii text parallels modern human communication; meaning is often lost or misinterpreted by the process. The music is "Miko" by The Beans.  The Decision4mn b/w stereo 2007 Greece by George Drivas self-production self-distribution It is a walk along an empty city. It is a bad transmission. It is Athens on a Sunday afternoon. It is an advertisement, a monologue, a question. It is just thoughts, nothing more.  The Encounter12mn05 color stereo 2007 Canada by Suzanne Caines self-production self-distribution The piece called "The Encounter" was made at "Mount Saint Vincent University Art Gallery", 2008. In this piece I have asked participants to describe a special place/location. I previously created a series of plaster objects, which were given in exchange for each interaction I performed. After these conversations I gave a souvenir that I have produced as a gift for them. In exchange for his or her memory I offered each interlocutor a small plaster sculpture that was about the size of a hand-held mobile device. (Each sculpture was unique and based on a commonplace object such as a dime-store figurine or an ornate light switch-plate, altered in accordance with the way I believe memory functions to distort recollected experiences.) This piece reflects upon its own failures to “connect” and thus gains distance from its overt subject matter.  THE FUTURE IS YOU9mn17 color & b/w mono 2008 USA by Lili White self-production self-distribution New York City landscapes after the 9/11 disaster. Distorted voices, accordion playing and a metallic sound, are abstracted to resonate with anxiety or serenity produced inside us. Our focus is primarily on small gradient movements that stretch into attention of the larger matrix where we all reside.  The Inscrutable Oriental5mn color stereo 2008 France by Samuel Bester self-production self-distribution Rising the temperature.  The Making Of...8mn13 color stereo 2009 United Kingdom by Matthew Verdon self-production self-distribution A film consisting of all the items and ambient sounds from the making of the same film. Each item appears and disappears in temporal folds on the artist’s desk in the studio, disrupting the logical progression of time. This forms a circular referential system where the narrative construct of the film relates to its own production.  The Origin of the Complex Problem of Identification1mn25 color dolby stereo 2009 United Kingdom by Bill Balaskas self-production self-distribution An audio extract from a speech by Albert Einstein is employed as a guide in the effort to visually approach the concept of "identification".  The Reapers13mn color stereo 2009 United Kingdom by Nick Jordan & Jacob Cartwright self-production self-distribution "The Reapers" is a short documentary film on traditional pigeon hunters, concealed in their tower hide, deep in an oak forest in Perigord, France. Combining a score by Olivier Messiaen with factual scenes and dialogue, the film depicts a secretive, curious and disconcerting rural practice, taking place in a rudimentary encampment of cages, wires and decoys. Interweaving the absurd and the sinister, the film captures the relationship between the hunters and the birds, force-feeding their prized stool-pigeons and sharing out their quarry at the end of the day.The film was made with the assistance of Channel 4’s FourDocs bursary scheme, and continues Cartwright & Jordan’s depiction of mankind’s disparate relationship with fellow species and the natural environment.  The Road That White Men Tread3mn color stereo 2008 France by Samuel Bester self-production self-distribution Getting focused.  The rules of Art. Demystification3mn48 color mono 2008 Lithuania by Jonas Zagorskas self-production self-distribution In this work I used phrases from various art philosophy books and writings (P.Bourdieu, I.Kant among others) Everything is mixed in the way that it doesn't make any sense. Actors in this video hit their faces as if trying to wake up each other, like the Zen Buddhist masters waking up their pupils.
