Traum A Dream

2002 • 7 min • Australia

By Traum a Dream (2002) the unintelligent memories have become distinctly more sinister. Samples of found footage suggesting memory and repression vie chaotically for attention with Dirk’s voice reciting repeated words and phrases, punctuated by splutters and coughs, as though attempting to wrest some meaning. This meaning comes at last with the final sentence dragged out phrase by phrase in the third person: “he began to remember what he didn’t want to remember, what had been taken from when before he knew a secret of before he knew himself”. Steven Ball

Shadowy Encounters

2002 • 14 min

The film "Shadowy Encounters" is an homage to the work of the Quay Brothers. The film is a synthesis of collaged moving and still images taken directly from the Quay Brothers' 35mm films and recontextualized in order to metaphorically and responsively capture and reframe the Quay's films' qualities. The resultant richly textured and layered imagery delves the labyrinthine and secret realms of the Quay Brothers' world.

2002 • 44 min • Iran

Tehran is a wildly growing metropolis of concrete and neon that does not seem to fit into common urban planning or aesthetic standards. the population has quadrupled since 1980 to 12 million inhabitants. the approach of the Iranian filmmakers Solmaz Shahbazi and Tirdad Zolghadr to the city is neither guided by western ideals nor by homeland feelings. "Tehran 1380" describes a metropolis where modernity and tradition intermingle in a complex way and presents different points of view concerning the identity and future of the city.

Ciao Bella Ciao

2002 • 7 min • France

"Ciao Bella Ciao" was produced in reaction to the score of the Front National in the first round of the French presidential elections in 2002. The montage is structured from shots of Marseille and its surroundings, where Laurence Rebouillon grew up. Ciao Bella Ciao was shot in Super 8 and kinescoped in 35mm, using tests of Super 8 negative film and rushes from her previous Super 8 films. This film evokes memories of a homosexual love breakup and draws up an observation of the recurring racism of the petty bourgeoisie of Marseille. The text scrolls in a voice-over, to an aria from the Marriage of Figaro played on the piano ...

Book of Genesis

2002 • 9 min • Japan

Onishi’s short Book Of Genesis (2002) shows us in an impressive way the connection between the sky and skylines, made of all that technical stuff human beings have created. We watch storms and lighting in a colourful composition, connected to your TV or radio and maybe there is a fight going on. And sometimes you’re just being manipulated. Which is great, and it’s part of every director’s craft. (Desistfilm, 2015)

Evokation of My Demon Sister

2002 • 5 min

Cantor reimagines Kenneth Anger’s Invokation of My Demon Brother (1969) as if it were a paean to Hindu goddess of destruction Kali instead of Lucifer. In Cantor's take, Anger's hypermasculine imagination of the occult is replaced by that of an ironic depiction of female "hysterics"; a romantic strings section sweeps over the Mick Jagger Moog soundtrack; and Anton LeVay and Bobby Beausoleil are replaced by Sissy Spacek in Carrie and Christine Noonan in Lindsey Anderson’s if….

Hojas de Maíz

2002 • 10 min • United States of America

Hojas de Maíz was made at the request of Cincinnati composer and instrument-builder Anthony Luensman. The film was originally envisioned to be part of Tony's installation, Irato, in which each of his twenty-plus pieces, on exhibit in a civic art center, responded to viewers' pressing of a button. An exhibit of doorbells, imaginatively defined. One of Tony's stocks-in-trade is the use of discarded upright piano innards as electrified harps; my film contribution was to be projected amidst arrays of vibrating piano strings as art patrons took an elevator from the ground floor to a performing arts center. While this eventually proved infeasible due to ambient light conditions in the building, it did inspire the look and basic vocabulary of the film.
