Description
This Home Is Not EmptyCarol Nguyen4 min., video, 2014, Canada“A personal film questioning the 'lies you tell yourself' through a metaphorical lens.” CNDUST - The wanted lifeGiulio Baraldi21 min., video, 2014, Germany/Italy“DUST is the adventure of eight physically and mentally disabled persons who have been living in the Cottolengo Institute of Turin for over fifty years. This is neither a script nor an attempt to tell their discomfort.Through a creative artistic path revolving around theatre, these characters in search of an author stage themselves and the life that they would like to lead.” GBStill At LargePaul Rooney11 min., video, 2015, UK“The work seems to be an essay film about Holy Island, northern England, written and presented by Nicholas Still. But there is another, sinister, voice on the soundtrack, perhaps the voice of 'narrative' itself, submerging everything in it's sadistic tide.” PRThe SplitsAllison Hrabluik15 min., video, 2015, Canada“Twenty people gather in a hall to perform an absurd ritual of movement and sound. Scissors clip, a rope whirs, and the sound of a mouth harp interrupts an operatic scream” AHTraveling with Maxim GorkiyBernd Lützeler & Kolja Kunt11 min., video, 2014, Germany“As so often, also here it's rather about allusion than description. This also applies to the persons represented. Flat silhouettes of people. Their heads depicted in profile. Faces with no expression, formal gestures. In the background, a little bit of everyday life: The hard, square, stone architecture arises from ocher-colored, brownish, blackish mush of color or mud. A demonstration of the function of the central perspective. An idealized representation of a tropical paradise. Strangely, there's no absurdity in this.” BL,LKSpawned SeedsEugene Sun Park & Sara Zalek3 min., video, 2016, USA“One of the major developments in 20th-century contemporary dance, Butoh combines dance, theater, improvisation and influences of Japanese traditional performing arts to create a unique art form that is both controversial and universal in its expression. As art critic Mark Holborn of the New York Times describes it, “Butoh is defined by its very evasion of definition.” EPRock Clay Sand Straw WoodAdele Horne11 min., 16mm, 2015, USA/Canada“A group works together to build a cottage out of inexpensive, local resources in Northern California. The film documents the gestures and materials that are part of the process.” AHOpen HearingBrian Ashby, John Corbett, & Terri Kapsalis10 min., video, 2015, USA“A dog is rescued from the railroad tracks. Citizens have their say while councilmen watch. Which is more precarious? Will somebody please do something? A collaborative meditation on the tensions between image, sound, and word that journeys beyond the human in the circus of politics.” BA
