REGARDING FAUSTINE
Ira A. GoryainovaStarting with the premise that any documentary portrayal has something dominating and destructive in its nature, this short essay tackles the relationship between the director and her protagonist, Faustine. The act of looking becomes tangible through technology, superstitions and fantasmatic seeing...

Steve ReinkeThese images are from a film the CBC made in the early seventies called "The Children of Sri Lanka"....
INCIDENTS OF TRAVEL
Steve Reinke‘Incidents of travel’ is an adventure story in which each exciting incident or episode is relayed as a title. The title is taken from John Stephen’s 1853 novel ‘Incidents of travel in Yucatan’. The soundtrack, which proceeds very slowly, is a stretched version of ’Popcorn’ by Hot Butter. This is also, perhaps, a homage to (or parody on) structuralist film....

DOUBLE DAWN
Lukas MarxtLukas Marxt's film is directed into the darkness of the landscape. What we see is a 30-minute static shot, in which silence spreads: an illuminated factory area on the horizon, otherwise just blackness, stretched flat and wide like a canvas. The cycle of the sun dictates the dramaturgy of the film...
LE CYGNE ET SON IMAGE
Jacques Louis NystThe title in 'Le cygne et son image’ soon becomes the white canvas on which Nyst has drawn what appears at first as a tail or a path. The screen is horizontally divided in two, the lower part occupied by the canvas and the upper by Nyst’s naked body. When the swan the title refers to appears, it may seem that it is its own image that it contemplates on the white surface...
