The subtle hues above the water shift as the film dives into the depths of the icebergs, surfacing once more into a kaleidoscopic landscape.” - Mary Beth ReedExtraits D'une FamilleRhayne Vermette6 min., Video, 2014, Canada“This film is my failed attempt at creating a thematic palindrome of audio/visual samples. When working between two poles of remembering - one easily gets confused. Please enjoy this film before my mother asks me to delete it.” - Rhayne VermetteCelestial ObjectBen Balcom9 min., Video, 2014, USA“Here are the playful recordings of a naturalist—the observations of a difficult object. As the study accelerates and numerous cinematographic strategies are employed, the information gathered becomes noise; all these measurements become scribbles. “ - Ben BalcomSubtle DistanceChristina Santa Cruz4 min., Video, 2014, USA“For every trip and/or move we bring various amounts of suitcases and boxes filled with our tactile possessions. Have we become obsessed or is it merely a necessity in order to be comfortable in one's own skin? I don't know…” - Christina Santa CruzHer Silent SeamingNazlı Dinçel 10 min., 16mm, 2014, USA“A transcription of what I have been told during intimate experiences while separating from my husband. Sections consist of destroyed originals from Leafless(2011), motifs of the "feminine" alluding to Jack Smith's Flaming Creatures(1963) and of reconstruction of a pomegranate. These decorative objects are re-valued through a controlled act of cutting, with an allusion to synchronization. Obscured images clear out while the hand scratched text becomes harder to read with each section. Direct sound of cuts and hand processing are composed of 26 frame shots. Un-synced, it reveals a hearing of past images, as an act of translation.” - Nazlı Dinçel blue loop, julyMike Gibisser5 min., Video, 16mm, 2014, USA“Chicago's summertime blazes, unanchored. Skywriting out of time.” - Mike GibisserUnder The AtmosphereMike Stoltz15 min., 16mm, 2014, USA“Filmed on the Central Florida "Space Coast", site of NASA's launch pads. Dormant spacecraft, arcane text, activated landscape, and the surface of the image work towards a future-past shot reverse shot.” - Mike StoltzMototanaka DériveMichael Lyons & Malte Steiner5 min., Super 8 on Video, 2014, Japan/Germany“A staccato Super 8 document of an aimless walk through one of Kyoto’s former outcaste neighborhoods, which continues to exist below normal Japanese living standards. The soundtrack was created using ‘The Octopus’ - an original optoelectronic apparatus which allows the film itself to act as the score.” - Michael Lyons & Malte SteinerAu Bord De La Rivière (At The Edge of the River)Mike Rollo3 min., 16mm on Video, 2014, Canada“an unblinking examination of the light and movement patterns that animate a river bank; an earthly mysticism in miniature, a professing of natural secrets hidden in plain sight. “ - Mike RolloSerena GundyStephen Broomer4 min., 16mm on Video, 2014, Canada“Serena Gundy Park, in Toronto, so named for the late wife of Toronto businessman James Henry Gundy, who influenced the financial character of early twentieth-century Canada.” - Stephen BroomerThingsBen Rivers20 min., 16mm, 2014, United Kingdom“This film was a challenge set by a friend, to make something in my home over the course of the year. Coming from a country where the seasons are very evident, I am interested in how they effect people's sense of the world, moods, and our understanding and relationship to our environment. These mood changes feed into the film - in the Winter section the film is very internal and reflective, looking at the details around the house, and back to the things I've collected. In Spring, the atmosphere brightens, there are humans, hands holding a book or drawing, an eye reading. Summer is a mix of both the joy of these things, countered with a sense of unease. Autumn then becomes a further remove of representation of the space I live in, and in an uncertain state--are the walls crumbling around me? Is this the future, partly foretold in Fable, the book read in Spring?” - Ben Rivers
