Lovesong 5 & 6

2001 • 3 min

A hand-painted work beginning with a thicket of curled black lines over flesh tones shaping briefly into sex organs. There is a sense of pulsing darkness which breaks ints curled lines into coupling body forms which then settle back into something like the beginning of the film. Lovesong 6 Bright and very "hot" non-organic hand-painted colors and interweaving forms which darken intil cracks of ephemeral blues appear. There is, throughout, a gentle rhythmic "push" of hot-colored forms against each other, a sense of totally pervasive calm. Finally the textures of cracks gives way to some sense of sands-but as a softness. The lines which suggest coupling exist finally as if rubbed smooth by shifts of grain and gently shattered forms.

Static Discharge for Bleeding Eyes

2001 • 2 min • Canada

Static Discharge is composed of abstractions created from signal interference. The picture frame is continuously disrupted, as textured lines of feedback distort any form of representation. The flickering movement appears as if fed by an electric current with a faulty conductor - the electronic waves seem to split and repeat themselves without fully transmitting. This is a composition of video noise that creates pulsating tension, a s electricity grinds with flesh, revealing the harsh beauty inherent in a mechanical medium.

Monty Python & the Holy Grail in Lego

2001 • 2 min • United Kingdom

Frauenmuskel

2001 • 6 min

"Frauenmuskel is a jarring and sexually explicit film. Yet, the film holds an important dual sense of mystery that haunts long and after the film is over. Filmed during the Hermann Nitsch action of 1998, the film covers a stroll through the countryside as well as nightly impressions of the stars and clouds above Hermann Nitsch, himself" -Christopher May

One and a half

2001 • 32 min • Paraguay

A typical weekend out of "the dogs." The protagonists are a trio of teenagers who do what all 17 or 18 year old boys do: they ask dad for the car and go to some burger shop. In the middle, the film paints the environment: family relationships, love relationships, friendships. Until a surprising ending that changes the realistic code for the fantastic code.
