Unfurling like a dream, the video expands to consider recent psychological studies investigating empathy that find increased stress levels and shorter life spans for the individuals doing the caring. How do we name the value of this costly connection?” - Kera MacKenzie, Andrew Mausert-MooneySpeculumRichard Ashrowan17 min., Video, 2014, United Kingdom“Speculum is a moving image sigil, a rehabilitation of the present though the prism of the past. The work explores ancient theories of matter in which luminous emanation gives rise to physical form, drawing on the early light philosophers Roger Bacon (1214-1292), Agrippa von Nettesheim (1486-1535) and John Dee (1527-1609).” - Richard AshrowanNight NoonShambhavi Kaul11 min., Video, 2014, Mexico/USA"Shambhavi Kaul's Night Noon sets up dialectical dread in Death Valley with a series of uncanny shots of eroded, geological formations and dunes that seemingly fold into night skies and shimmering waters. Beginning in Zabriskie Point, the film surreptitiously crosses over into Mexico, its creative geography never far from our cinematic memory." - Andréa PicardGinza StripDianna Barrie, Richard Tuohy9 min., 16mm, 2014, Australia“The Ginza of fable and memory. This is the first film I have finished using the 'chromaflex' technique that we developed. This is a very much hands on colour developing procedure that allows selected areas of the film to be colour positive, colour negative, or black and white.“ - Dianna Barrie, Richard TuohyMemento MoriPelin Kirca4 min., Video, 2014, Turkey“A vignette about life in general.” - Pelin KircaCicatrixJeremy Moss7 min., Video, 2014, USA“An experience in layers, scars, and deterioration. The image oozes, rips, and bubbles, emulating both creationist and destructive impulses. The 16mm footage was created and manipulated at Ontario's renowned Independent Imaging Retreat (aka Film Farm).” - Jeremy MossThe StroboscopeJustin Lincoln4 min., Video, 2014, United States“Violent Abstraction. An homage to the Structural films of Paul Sharits. Sound produced with Little Bits/Korg Synth Kit. The colors are generated from a feed of images in the blogging platform Tumblr and manipulated in the programming language Processing. (Warning. Strong stroboscopic effect. May cause seizures.)” - Justin LincolnHorizonStephanie Barber3 min., Video, 2014, United StatesDisplacementsManuel Alvarez Diestro9 min., Video, 2013, United Kingdom“Hong-Kong is one of the densest cities in the world. As there is no much space available, new towns are adjacent to the cemeteries. These days in Hong-Kong the world of the living coexists with the one of the dead. Meanwhile, Hong Kong inhabitants move from place to place. They are waiting for a final displacement.” - Manuel Alvarez DiestroLimited Speech Holds Endless MisunderstandingsOrr Menirom10 min., Video, 2013, USA“Based on an interview between linguist and political-activist Noam Chomsky and an Israeli News reporter. The interview is cut into individual words, and recompose into monolog. The monolog is told by a hybrid character that is both male and female, a mixture of Chomsky and the reporter’s words and identities. “ - Orr Menirom
