An abstract work featuring three dancers, the performers interact with large screens as well as each other. Included in Shirley Clarke’s Four Journeys Into Mystic Time, costuming and color play an integral role in this piece.

Everyday Portabella

Watching a Movie

A young man, attempting to watch a VHS tape of "Love Streams" by John Cassavetes on his television, is constantly harassed and annoyed by outside forces.

A Chair

One of Takahiko Iimura's (and modern art's) earliest works in conceptual video, A Chair entirely consists of a steady (and usually ghosted) image of a chair to the accompaniment of the firecracker pops of television static. While formally minimal, A Chair is conceptually challenging in its simplicity and its demand that the audience zero in on, of all things, a simple chair. - Tom Fritsche

Dream of a Summer Night

Rock musical adaptation of William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

The Dead Tree

The veneer of the story is a tale of chance love: two French expatriates strike up a chance romance when they meet on a ship headed back to South America.

Halcyon

An afternoon of training for Olympic diver Greg Louganis transforms into a visual poem about freedom, the flight of the spirit, and the astonishing physical prowess of which the human body is capable. The title of this award-winning short film alludes to the mythical kingfisher, a harbinger of calm after the storm and a symbol of grace, elegance, and vigor.

Blinking

One of the earliest minimalist video with flicker effects was produced in Tokyo in early 1970s. A flickering video with eyes, which super-impose the positive over the negative, open and close rapidly. At the same time the "blind" effects of video fast-forwarding accelerates/decelerates the picture synchronized with the sound.

Drawers

An early video curio pitched between performance art and George Méliès’ trick films, Drawers sees Colab artist Andrea Callard training her Sony Portapak on a rigged dresser for some endearingly primitive magic. - Max Goldberg

Swiss Graffiti

An animated cartoon about the Creation myth reviewed and corrected by two women. God the magician has decided to create a paradise: Switzerland. He covers it with trees and cows, until Adam is born. After exploring his paradise, Adam creates Eve from one of his ribs. Man is shown as an erect penis, woman by a limbless trunk.

Pluto Declaration

Restore the classical definition of planet! Bring back planet Pluto! The solar system is twelve!

The Cemetery of Sainte-Colombe

A small exploration in the cemetery from the township of Sainte-Colombe throught a focus into the light, graveyards, flaggings and funerary plaques.

The Cracks

A high school student tries to accustom himself to an unusual phobia, destroying everyone in his path. A nerd tries to eradicate the phobia entirely.

Don't Explain

A city symphony of kinetic movement in the concrete jungle. A cacophony of textures, layers and surfaces moving in unison and discord yearning for an open horizon.

Fata Morgana

Shot under extreme conditions and inspired by Mayan creation theory, the film contemplates the illusion of reality and the possibility of capturing for the camera something which is not there. It is about the mirages of nature—and the nature of mirage.

Mote It Be

This film concentrated the crystal energy of earth nature, expended the trace and texture of mote. It try to use powerful flicker image to tune up the electro magnetic field in human brain, activate the imagination of receivers, and pass on the information on earth.

Imagens

Without any sounds, dialogues and with unknown actors, the images are the focus of this film. Images that want to awake, to question determinant moments, state of a system's languages, the morality of deaths, the immobility, the silence, among other subjects. Shot at the height of the Brazilian military dictatorship, it is an affront to the most diverse types of repression in that period.

Maria

Maria Lang is my very close filmmaker friend who lives in the southern german countryside. We see her gardening and visiting an exhibition of female impressionist painters.

I W I

Avant-garde, black & white realization of the synth driven score.
