Mujeres

1985 • 23 min • Argentina

Women in different situations of life, accompanied occasionally by images of nature. Men appear alone in different roles, like a ski athlete, a musician, and a judge, the latter, in a scene from Dreyer's film The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928).

The Pool for Rain

1985 • 11 min • Japan

A naked woman in the water, two women caressing each other in a pool without water, a woman in a cage, four half-naked women standing in a room. The fragmentary images of the various women are chained together in a discontinuous manner, and as a whole, a dry eroticism with ambiguous meaning drifts from the screen. The laughter, murmurs, and screams of the women overlap to form a unique internal world that the artist, a woman, has captured with her physiological sensibility. A film that attempts to confirm the uncertainty of our existence.

The Wizard

He Was Here, and You Are Here

1985 • 8 min • Japan

The narration of the filmmaker begins with the image of the "you" in her mind, as she repeatedly crosses a crosswalk. The image leaves the screen and is projected everywhere. The image leaves the screen and is projected everywhere, even on the toilet bowl and the artist's body. And the "you of now. A very personal monologue, like reading one's own diary, is beautifully expressed through the narrative style and the experimentation of the images.

Jumped Out

1985 • 12 min • Canada

"This tape is comprised of a sensual drift of images which allude to or trace evidence of psychic energy that surfaces within the image. The tape begins with a tableau of architectural stone to a saxophone player (Charlie Braden, a musician from Minneapolis) who is playing through a 34 foot elevated rectangular tube wood structure. The intention was to support a "physical soundtrack." The piece then moves to an outdoor garden restaurant setting during the credits, where a mental patient speaks of various subjects, shifting the emphasis away from the previous content." - David Askevold

Flickering Shadows

1985 • 60 min

The work that i made whilst at college had an end result being film / video art. This was where the combination of many disciplines, for me, became one , from the initial drafting of ideas - making things - environments - creating an atmosphere with paint and light, developing a story board or event, then filming it with out of date super 8 film, editing and inventing a soundtrack. all fine under the cozy umbrella of youth, and blind collaboration with the many talented friends around. These films by hook or by crook, mainly by crook, were made into a video collection of work, released by ikon / factory records in 1985 titled "Flickering Shadows".

Buffalo Creek Revisited

1985 • 31 min • United States of America

Filmed ten years after the flood, Buffalo Creek Revisited looks at the second disaster on Buffalo Creek, in which the survivors’ efforts to rebuild the communities shattered by the flood are thwarted by government insensitivity and a century-old pattern of corporate control of the region’s land and resources.

There Will Come a Day

1985 • 12 min • Romania

A movie about chickens and kids. The film was made in 1985, but screened only in 1990 for reasons that even Communist censors found hard to explain. A chicken farm that was very modern for its time included a kindergarten reserved for the employees’ children. The film uses the parallel between raising chicken and human babies as the starting point for a meditation on human nature.
