Goblins' Chants

Goblins' Chants

1986 • 5 min
"Goblin's Chants" is a starkly reductive and hypnotic work, structured around a single charged image. Klaus vom Bruch's torso is inscribed with a rotating computer generated construction (in real: a handmade wooden model put on an ordinary turntable); creating a composite image that metaphorically describes a collapse of the private and public space of vitual media. This spectacle of technology imposed on the human body is accompanied by a haunting soundtrack of traditional songs of the Pygmies. Ultimately, the artist turns his butt onto the viewer, communicating with fundamental body language.
Jerusalem: Within These Walls

Jerusalem: Within These Walls

1986 • 54 min
Jerusalem's Old City is a tiny enclave where some of history's greatest dramas have been enacted. Busy and colorful, it is the fountainhead of three major religions, the site of many of the world's most venerated shrines, and home to 26,000 people of profoundly different cultures who live side by side in a fragile peace. JERUSALEM: WITHIN THESE WALLS offers a kaleidoscopic view of the city and its people as they are today -- the remarkable outcome of 3,000 years of history, hope and faith.
Ethna's Suite, So Long

Ethna's Suite, So Long

1986 • 15 min
This film portrait of Ethna Duffy (and myself by implication) summarizes several years between us. It consists of images collected between 1974 and 1980 edited in relation to a soundtrack that consists of an audio landscape of telephonic interruptions as they are interwoven with Ethna's extemporaneous observations, recorded on a telephone answering machine between 1977 and 1978. This film reflects our mutual love and "lunacy" which was often deflected and by inference indirectly located. PW

Harold Bell Wright: The Miracle of The Ozarks

1986 • 26 min
This is the story of Harold Bell Wright who as an eleven year old orphaned boy was cast out into the world to survive on his own. Alone and destitute, he was possessed of an iron will to survive with only his God to lean on. He rose out of this crushing poverty to become America's number one Best Selling Author. The first author ever to sell one million copies of a single book. This amazing and inspiring biography of Harold Bell Wright was written and produced by his son, Norman Wright. His grandson, Michael Wright portrays him as an adult and his great grandson, Jason Wright is the young Mr. Wright. Harold Bell Wright began his adult life as a country pastor bringing the Word of God in the Bible to those who could not read. He continued his ministry in his books, never losing sight of the Christian ethic he wanted to impart to his readers. They responded by making him the most popular author of his time.

Australian Bush

Australian Bush

1986 • 24 min • Australia
“When you walk through the Bush, you hardly ever see any animals—they tend to take cover long before you actually come anywhere near them. Like a lizard, or a wallaby, which sees you and disappears. So I decided to make a film where I’d insert them… from photographs…into footage of the Bush. To make this work physically and filmically I had to invent and construct my matte-box image shifter. I wanted the animals, the sentinels of the Bush, to appear and disappear…the Bush to be living and moving. With the image shifter I matted them in and matted them out…what they now call ‘morphing’. This film was very popular with people who didn’t know much about avant-garde film—it was easy to watch, and they could get a lot of information about the type of flora and fauna in this country.” (Paul Winkler)

How Did Esther Get on the Table?

1986 • 10 min
A little girl fidgets by the desk at which her father is working. Suddenly she appears on top of the table, where she shrinks to only a few centimetres in size. The scene launches into a series of surrealistic objects of her environment. She is comforted with many situations that could conceivably happen to her in the future, and they prove to be more threatening than reassuring. At the end of film we find Esther restored to her normal self again, sitting on the lap of her father.

Sechse kommen durch den Herbst

Sechse kommen durch den Herbst

1986 • 15 min • East Germany, Germany
A hike around the GDR without any record ambitions, just the desire to experience something, to challenge themselves, to get to know the country and its people - their own country, their own people - better. Six men, aged between 25 and 40, set off on a hike, curious about everything they will encounter along the way between Cottbus and Zittau - nature, sights, people. The viewer gradually realizes that there is actually a sensation behind this seemingly natural, visibly unspectacular, cheerful process. This is already the 13th stage of the planned hike around the country. Memories of previous stages make the scale clear. The men, who we have already got to know quite well over the five days, manage the daily 25 to 30 kilometers with such ease because they are passionate athletes: Mountaineers in Saxon Switzerland.

A very short animation drawn on tracing paper with a brush pen and coloured pencil. “This work was inspired by an impressive dream. In the dream, I took a dictionary that printed flip-books in the corner from a book shelf, and when I returned it, the book had disappeared.”[Yuko Asano]
