SILENT LETTER 19012009

Mira Sanders
The second ’Silent Letter’ was written on April 15th, 2009. While the subtitles explain the rules of hopscotch and refer to a little girl who asked to play with her, we see a frozen image of a section of a breakwater (a manmade construction offering some protection to coastline). The animal sitting on the breakwater starts to run when the video shot does....

STAND HERE AT THE EDGE

Andrea Geyer
When viewing a movie, what we know can foreclose the possibility of vision. ’Stand here at the Edge’, tries to construct an epistemological break, by simply suggesting to close ones eyes and challenge the entitlement and “knowledge” that so often comes with the familiarity of our gaze...

NEAR AND FAR / NOW AND THEN

Ken Kobland
A two-part film, one part unedited camera footage of a late Autumn to Winter woods, and the other a highly manipulated blue-screen re-photography process. Each part mimics the action of the other. Each is involved with a background-foreground, motion-to-still image juxtaposition: with the whole to the part, the arrested moment to the one just gone, the nostalgia of space and time.

FILMER LE BAS DES MURS AU COURS D'UNE LONGUE PROMENADE URBAINE

Jacques Lizène
Lizène intended to film the base of the wall along a very long urban promenade, a project which would never be realized except for this trial shot on 8mm. The original scheme was, according to Lizène “almost very good, would have been very long and very boring”....
