We are liberated from time. Like animals.  19, Espíritu Santo (Andalucía )19mn color & b/w stereo 2010 France by Philippe Cote self-production self-distribution In the beginning, there were your words, which you wrote me to initiate the pictures to do, far away, alone, down there in Seville and Andalusia. Then, after a first silent editing... the film would at last find its final form, an intimate essay and standing between your voice, a selection of Antonio Gamoneda's poems, to listen, and my pictures. (Philippe Cote)  201 cartes postales vidéo mobiles120mn color mono 2010 France by Dominik Lange self-production self-distribution So I had the idea of producing a series of romantic paintings, a pictorial stroll in Paris, a wandering aimlessly displayed, if not to provide a projection support to inner visions, movements of interiority confronted to the current means and technical exchanges and jetable communications, so finally the mobile phone which is the best avatar, an icon of our endless consumption? I do not know if my intentions are very clear, but the images speak for themselves and with less verbiage?  Acrobate6mn50 color stereo 2011 France by Yves-Marie Mahé self-production distribution : Light cone Limits doesn't exist.  All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.4mn26 color & b/w stereo 2010 Serbia by Milica Mijacevic-Carevic self-production self-distribution This video is about hypocrisy of modern society, about new world order and new democracy, about freedom and illusion, politic and politicians, human rights and equality.  Amphësis8mn50 color & b/w stereo 2011 France by Philippe Brioude self-production distribution : Light cone At the edge of the pier...  An Informal Gaze (Una mirada informal)9mn38 color stereo 2010 Mexico by Ilana Boltvinik & Rodrigo Viñas & Mariana Mañon self-production self-distribution The art piece is conceived as an action, the selling of Mexican garbage in Copenhagen and Danish garbage in Mexico City. It is an appropriation of small pieces of public space that emulate street selling as to engage people in transit with this public dynamic.  Analysis8mn color stereo 2010 Canada by Zohar Kfir self-production distribution : Groupe Intervention Vidéo "Analysis" questions the relationship between language, metaphor, macro and micro states through the investigation of comprehension. The video is layered with words, meanings and landscapes, offering a site to analyze grammatical relationships by studying the structure as a whole.  Animal Edge3mn30 color stereo 2011 Germany by Andrés Meléndez self-production self-distribution Separation from our animality is not entirely consumed and is still continuing,til the moment the repression is broken, and shows a hidden nature.  Anoxi: la synthèse 6mn32 color dolby stereo 2009 Canada by Robin Dupuis production : Perte de Signal self-distribution Remix of a triptych produced over 4 years, the work assemble sounds and visuals synthesis in a narrative composition on the suffocation caused by the lack of oxygen. Theorists of digital art have discussed the similarity of precinematic and postcinematic practices (such as early chronophotograhy and Quicktime video clips). The abstractions created by Robin Dupuis, such as Anoxi, can be understood as examining this connection in an aesthetic manner, but following and creating new forms and rhythms with the possibilites of the digital instrument. In Anoxi the elements in the picture are melting into new forms, separating and coming together in continuous transformation and variation. - Mika Taanila, Avanto, Helsinki  Après coup12mn color mono 2009 France by Boris Du Boullay self-production distribution : Light cone Is cinema an enough concrete theory as well I can take a bath to try to forget all that stuff?  Après le feu7mn09 color stereo 2010 France by Jacques Perconte production : TRIPTYQUE FILMS self-distribution A few miles from Ajaccio, Corsica, burnt land is buckling under the weight of its colors. The ground is falling apart, releasing pictorial energies that take over the sky. I'm staring at the vanishing skyline. The train keeps on rolling...  Atome5mn57 color stereo 2010 Morocco by Hicham Qaidi self-production self-distribution I go down by the stairs of a ruined house, I climb a desert hill, I walk through a landscape hit by earthquake...  Au déjeuner, les colibris étaient bègues3mn45 color & b/w stereo 2010 Canada by Danielle Raymond self-production distribution : Groupe Intervention Vidéo Memories made up of family archives, radio archives of Expo 67 and the voice of a woman trying to remember the place, atmosphere and context. In a space that feels domestic, a fireplace and sofa serve as backdrop for different portraits, the reunion of two sisters and a parade of hats. Outside, a crack in a wall reveals a picnic lunch. Images are captured through a 'recorder-projector', a device created by the artist.  Augustus3mn43 color stereo 2010 Morocco by Hicham Qaidi self-production self-distribution A stunt that challenges the low of gravity when he drives his motorcycle along the death wall.  Babayan2mn58 color stereo 2010 Canada by Frédérick Belzile self-production distribution : Groupe Intervention Vidéo At twilight, a camera glides along a ridge between two valleys. The sounds from the landscape forge a link between the viewer and the horizon.  Bacteria10mn color stereo 2010 India by Aditi Kulkarni self-production self-distribution "Bacteria"- A state of mind in the given space-time model.  Before War (Avant la Guerre)5mn40 color stereo 2010 USA by Jared Katsiane self-production self-distribution Boston, 1951: uncle Tommy makes home movies… then brings along his camera as a soldier in the Korean War.  being shot5mn color stereo 2010 United Kingdom by Guli Silberstein self-production self-distribution A video of a handcuffed blindfolded man detained by soldiers on the street, and dreamlike images of abstract shapes and patterns in rocks and water, are synthesised by a distortion of the video signal, creating unsettling confusion and linkage between the tragic and the poetic, and between different uses of the sense of vision.  Belle9mn color stereo 2010 Portugal by Daria Baiocchi & Luis Fernandes self-production self-distribution It grew up as a collaboration between two artists: Luis Fernandes and Daria Baiocchi. Music is straight connected to images. A video who deals with subtly meanings, apparently without any understanding of the Beauty itself but with an irreplaceable essence. One beauty full of beauteous, lightness and transparency. A video about visual languages overlaid by dreams and magnetic rushes covered by an inception on this idyllic mirror, featured on the landscape of reality…  Belsunce fragments20mn color mono 2010 France by Anne-Marie Lallement self-production self-distribution How to describe in a few clips, the Belsunce area in Marseille (the central district of maghrebine migration) just throuh the daily life of "chibanis" (old algerians), the blowing of the mistral wind, and the evolution of this very area.  Beyond1mn03 color stereo 2011 Romania by George Dorobantu self-production self-distribution Short urban visual poem witnessed in Bucharest. Beyond dense gliding walls of human traffic, right under the surface of eye-level communication magma, an old soul awaits.  Black Salt Water Elegy16mn b/w dolby stereo 2010 Canada by Solomon Nagler self-production self-distribution A short film that weaves together original and archival material to create an ethereal narrative texture, "Black Saltwater Elegy" intimately links the discordant threads of a popular history of dispossession (Africville) with the solitude of its protagonist's graveyard-shift fantasies. After opening with disquieting archival footage of the demolition of Africville, the film shifts to an austere observational portrait. A palatable sense of the duration of midnight work slowly shifts into subtle gestures that hint towards choreographed events. Eventually, a breech occurs as the protagonist fuses with an emergent dreamscape, where ruined landscapes and the resurrection of an extinct community intertwine. Using the protagonist's disembodied point of view, the audience floats above a reconstructed Africville, one forever present, nesting in a bed of saltwater fog.  Blue Black Berlin7mn20 color stereo 2009 Germany by Ana Bilankov self-production self-distribution An idyllic night promenade along the Berlin Spree with ships and walkers turns into a fictive, potentially catastrophic and threatening scenario. The dramatization of the abstract narrative is reinforced through the sound.  C'est l'histoire d'un loup1mn35 color stereo 2011 France by Fabrice Guérinon self-production self-distribution Visit in the zoo.  Capitol Symmetry8mn20 color sil 2010 USA by Neil Needleman self-production self-distribution This video is about symmetry. First, the subject matter is symmetrical: the Capitol Plaza in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Second, I flipped the footage on itself, so the scenes in the frame are symmetrical. Third, the temporal structure of the video is symmetrical: the overlapping scenes progress to the midway point and then they flow in reverse to the beginning (now the end).  ceci est une bobine test3mn b/w sil 2010 Greece by Matoula Eolou Gekko self-production self-distribution "An Athens walkabout with a Super 8 camera in search of contact with people on the street, becomes an instant collective project. The nostalgic gaze is reciprocal, from the camera to its subjects and vice versa. Eolou Gekko seems to merge with the subjects of her film and in the background the city is desired as a paradise lost." V. Bourikas  Comme un vent qui nous pousse dans le dos19mn color stereo 2010 France by Caroline Beuret self-production self-distribution An alarm, a road, a shout. That speaks about time period. You never can tell when it finishes. Where is it, what we did not forget?  Con Amore3mn34 color stereo 2009 Canada by Martin Messier (Robin Dupuis) production : Perte de Signal distribution : Perte de signal A breathless body, articulated through a surgical dissection of time. Like a collection of fragments, a being grown increasingly fractured—likely as it searches for itself, for the moments it is made of. Then the intensity of the cry, until the pain is exhausted. An act of desperation, pulverized, until man finally becomes machine, a mechanical monster. And yet, the universe stays put.  Continuum6mn color dolby stereo 2009 Italy by Devis Venturelli self-production self-distribution "Continuum" illustrates temporary transformations of a body in the urban environment.  Couleurs1mn35 color stereo 2010 France by Yves-Marie Mahé self-production distribution : Light cone Colors.  Courant appauvri (Strombomben)2mn38 color stereo 2009 France by Franziska Otzelberger self-production self-distribution Nuclear waste is used for weapons of mass destruction.  Crooked Beauty30mn color & b/w stereo 2010 USA by Ken Paul Rosenthal self-production self-distribution "Crooked Beauty" is a poetic documentary that chronicles artist-writer Jacks McNamara's transformative journey from psych ward patient to pioneering mental health advocacy. Poignant testimonials connect the fissures and fault lines of human nature to the unstable topography and mercurial weather patterns of the San Francisco Bay Area.  Dérive6mn30 color stereo 2010 France by Inés Wickmann self-production self-distribution "Dérive" carries a glance on the environmental questions of a planet in full upheaval. A threat through inopportune appearances leads to a process which is damaged in a deep spiral. However, the life continues… Research/Creation Grant, Canada Council for the Arts.  Domestic Rhythms6mn color & b/w stereo 2009 USA by Jeremy Newman self-production self-distribution This video begins with Rapunzel’s fairy tale wedding. Selected clips from the children’s animation depict her marriage falling apart. Newsreel footage of fashion models and sequences from a film about communication technology are linked to the witch. The implication is that the mass media casts a spell that disenchants viewers.  dont touch me please40mn color & b/w stereo 2010 France by Shanti Masud production : La vie est belle films self-distribution A speechless film, both musical and sexy. One theme: seduction... Characters who play tricks (magic trocks sometimes). Each one has its own reverse shot, its own "other one", its own (or almost) song, like a fiction (a setting) around a character.  doppelganger4mn13 b/w stereo 2009 Canada by Micheline Durocher self-production self-distribution This recent experimental video is inspired by the autobiography of Goethe, conveying the uncanny feeling of being confronted with your double coming toward you.  Dualism2mn15 color stereo 2010 Sweden by Anders Weberg production : Recycled Image Studio self-distribution Video and Sound by Anders Weberg. Sink - swim. Fire - water. Life - death.

The "golden camera" awards ceremony. in some minutes, dustin hoffman will be honored with the "lifetime achievement film award"... Security guys, profi and amateur cameramans, funs, are waiting of his coming... a (non) spectacular documentary, taken with a normal digital video apparatus, investigates the human reactions on glamour, star system and fame...  Eclipse24mn color stereo 2010 Spain by Alberte Pagán self-production self-distribution Time passes. Life flows. Nature completes a cycle of life and death. Eve and Adam correct the myth of the tree of knowledge: the forbidden fruit makes them wise. Baroque symphony of light and colour. There is no digital manipulation: all the effects are created analogically by the camera.  Einschnitte 2mn22 color sil 2011 Canada by Lina Rodriguez self-production self-distribution An afternoon with Viennese statues.  Electric Garden3mn30 color stereo 2009 Canada by Micheline Durocher self-production self-distribution "Electric Garden" is constructed upon one continuous pan of the edges and outlines of the female body and elicits the idea of the well established erotic theme in art, the reclining nude. Rendered in rich and vibrant colours, it transfers the imagery of the undressed observed reclining woman to a visual representation of woman’s own satisfaction.  Eloge de la raison25mn color stereo 2010 France by Waël Noureddine self-production self-distribution A plunge into the mental world of a drug addict which echoes the chaos around him.  Ely14mn color dolby stereo 2011 USA by Andrea Dojmi & Lorenzo Bona self-production self-distribution "Ely" has been a space mission, the last of the Space Era. "Ely" was the woman I loved before leaving the Earth. "Ely" was a young girl, maybe mine. "Ely", the far away planet I've orbited around for years. "Ely" became the name of planet Earth. Once back the Sun's light was just like it had been when as kids we used to observe the dust in the thin air of our indian summer. Once back the time hadn't come yet to understand, cry or remember.  Everyman's Dream11mn color stereo 2010 Serbia by Isidora Ilic & Boško Prostran (Doplgenger) self-production self-distribution "Everyman's Dream" is experimental video that represents super-modern allegory placed in the most globalized phenomena – nonplace of shopping center. Video's structure derives from medieval morality plays of "Everyman" and is based upon motive of fictional dream vision which enables one to undertake the journey of seeing beyond...  Faustino 19366mn color sil 2010 Spain by Alberte Pagán self-production self-distribution Faustino is not in the photograph but is the reason for the photograph. Faustino emigrates to Argentina. He will get married, have children, lose his wife, be murdered. Faustino asks his family for a photograph. The only extant photograph of the whole family. Except for Faustino.  Favorite Things16mn color stereo 2010 France by Pouria Hosseinpour production : Mandrake films self-distribution The erotic encounter between two bodies and the frenetic rythm of free jazz.  Fear thy not2mn20 color mono 2010 France by Sophie Sherman production : Le Fresnoy self-distribution A girl sings a strange song and enters a dark tunnel.  Follow Me1mn30 color stereo 2010 Germany by Melanie Beisswenger self-production self-distribution Images and sounds flow together, like fleeting thoughts shooting through the mind. This experimental video combines images, movement and sound to a pulsating unit, taking us on a journey into the unknown.  Follow Your Skin4mn37 color stereo 2010 Ireland by Paul O Donoghue (Ocusonic) self-production self-distribution "Follow Your Skin" is visual music composed from recordings made live in the Experimental Television Center, New York. A terrestrial TV signal is mapped into patterns created by a Voltage Controlled Oscillator. Short snippets of the TV’s audio are randomly introduced in an attempt to recontextualise the broadcast and perchance elicit new meaning.  Forsythia Madness6mn54 color sil 2010 USA by Neil Needleman self-production self-distribution Call me mad, but this is one of the ways I celebrate the colors of spring. As I wander out into the bursting-color landscape during this season, I’m blinded by the dazzling shades of yellow and light green. And I soak it all up with my eyes and (occasionally) my camera. I wish the color show lasted longer than a few short weeks—but I’m grateful for even that.  found_footage5mn color & b/w stereo 2010 Italy by Patrizia Monzani self-production self-distribution Water as a symbol of nature, water as the origin of life and therefore of man. The video, entirely realized with archive material from the internet movie database (opensource films), shortly narrates the history of humanity and its relationship with our planet earth.  Fraktali / Fractals7mn30 color stereo 2009 Croatia by Damir Cucic production : Croatian Film Clubs’ Association self-distribution A real picture with, for this occasion, specially constructed objects was taken as a template. These jelly objects are mould shaped puddings which have miniature golden plates inside them. The jellies are lit with laser and other lights, and are rotated on the surface of a turntable which caused the light to break and reflect on the golden plates.  Frequency Mass4mn35 b/w stereo 2011 USA by John Davis self-production self-distribution Experimenting with light, movement, and various darkroom techniques, abstraction and repetition coalesce in an array of chance encounters. A full immersion into an otherworldly mix of light and sound.  From a land of ashes and mist21mn05 color & b/w stereo 2010 Italy by Fabio Scacchioli self-production self-distribution Starting from 50 reels of 8mm and super8 film recovered in L’Aquila (Italy) and nearby towns after the earthquake of 6 April 2009, I tried to describe the disaster of earthquake to reach a general reflection on memory and its stratification. Through the alternation, the overlapping, the merging of private images of family life with dramatic images of the same places after the earthquake, the city becomes a metaphor of the fragility of memory.  Futurology3mn02 color stereo 2011 New Zealand by Brit Bunkley self-production self-distribution This video is a study of various "futuristic" edifices altered slightly in video software: a contemporary cargo ship, various airport terminals, the Auckland Sky Tower and the Seattle Space Needle. When I was young, most of us were convinced that the future would be far different than it turned out to be. We would either be living in George Jetson elevated homes (modelled in part on the 1962 Seattle Space needle)… or if we survived an expected nuclear war, we’d be living in a post-apocalyptic nuclear winter. Fortunately neither happened. http://vimeo.com/19404340  Guédiguian n'est pas mort pour la France29mn color stereo 2011 France by Pierre Merejkowsky production : GAJE distribution : GAJE Guédiguian is not dead for France.  hatchet1mn19 color stereo 2010 USA by Hilda Daniel self-production self-distribution Decapitated segments are propelled in phonetic-anagrammatic sequence suggesting threat, violence (dv, rape), escape. Squealing trains, fighting flies, a "hatchet" refrain chugging like a train or train of thought stuck in a mind locked in madness or fear. The piece is a fright of fancy, a poem part rage, part fear.  Home Not Yet Arrived8mn05 color stereo 2010 Taiwan by Ming-Yu Lee self-production self-distribution Dear father in heaven, Everything is fine here. No longer miss you that often. Toby will be 9 this year, you haven’t met him. On the train on my way home, Feb. 2010, Chinese New Year.  Homecoming6mn30 b/w stereo 2010 United Kingdom by Hannah Beadman self-production self-distribution This split-3-screen video explores Jungian archetype integration through the narrative of a soldier returning to her girlfriend. This piece is sexual, dealing with longing, memory, a moment, transformation: it is political by its representation.  îls18mn color stereo 2011 France by Fabrice Coppin production : Film flamme/Polygone étoilé self-distribution From this island only few men remain to me.  Inner Shrine2mn30 color stereo 2011 USA by Jing Zhou self-production self-distribution Inspired by the poem "Journey Home" composed by the noted Indian poet, Rabindranath Tagore, combined with my writing, "Inner Shrine" reveals the emotional and spiritual journey in searching of one's soul. To find the inward space of one's own—the home of the heart, one has to experience life to the fullest. It is the most intricate encounter that wanderers have to undertake, through which they find the essence of their existence and the answer for who we are.  Isle Of Lox "The Fruits Electric"3mn46 color stereo 2010 Germany by Leyla Rodriguez & Cristian Straub self-production self-distribution "In the beginning was Sound" -Lending iconography from Greek mythology (Aphrodite's birth from oceanic foam), the Christian bible (Eve and the forbidden apple) and Grimm's fairy tales (Hänsel & Gretel), "The Fruits Electric" is a audiovisual quest for the primordial origin of sound.

Jump in the river11mn color stereo 2010 Canada by Karina Mariano self-production distribution : Groupe Intervention Vidéo Film collage. People, thoughts and bad childhood memories. A sweet guy I left and a leopard print girl I loved. All this wrapped up in Montreal winter, local music and lo-fi video effects. I should have just moved to Mexico and sent her hate mail, but I made a movie about it instead...;)  Kinetosis9mn20 color & b/w stereo 2011 Canada by Allan Brown self-production self-distribution A film editor experiences an acute bout of motion sickness sending him into a fragmented state of delerium.

L'insurrection qui vient3mn color stereo 2011 Canada by Frédérick Maheux self-production self-distribution Dance to the rythm of area-denial sound systems and riot sticks!  L. stands for Love9mn50 color stereo 2010 Germany by Daniel Lang self-production self-distribution A sad story from China : The end of a relationship.

La Fuite4mn33 color & b/w stereo 2011 USA by Dan Nadaner self-production self-distribution "La Fuite" (The Escape) takes buoys near Alcatraz as a starting point for considering the situation of imprisonment and escape in the mind.  La Mythologie des Hautes Plaines3mn color sil 2011 France by Frank Gatti self-production self-distribution Almost anything with plastic.  La voûte7mn10 color stereo 2010 France by Philippe Rouy self-production distribution : HEURE EXQUISE ! One and the Other Way Round. Throbbing light throughout.  Labyrinthine14mn45 color stereo 2010 USA by Gregg Biermann self-production self-distribution Forty-one separate shots that have been appropriated and excised from the Hitchcock classic Vertigo are repeated and transformed into a composite sequence of concentric rectangles. Each rectangle appears over the last and grows larger over time. The narrative of the original is all but lost and in its place is a hypnotic and meditative display of forms and sounds.  Le Soleil 1923.3mn25 color stereo 2010 Serbia by Milan Zulic self-production self-distribution Memory is form of meeting. Forgotten is form of freedom.  Les Baigneuses15mn03 color sil 2011 France by Frank Gatti self-production self-distribution Almost anything with the girls.

A mysterious chorus of voices encourages them. With a text by Percy Shelley and music by Randall Wong.  Les Paraparapluies5mn02 color stereo 2009 Germany by Stefan Demming self-production self-distribution Based on the film "Les parapluies de Cherbourg" by Jacques Demy (1964) an audiovisual composition evolved. It reduces the narrative elements of the original movie by turning short sequences into transformative loops and transforming it into a rhythmic composition. In synchronized beats, the sampling of the sound goes along with the visual rhythm of the video. The actors look like virtual singing sculptures and some kind of a grammar of the movie’s single parts can be examined.  Light-Devouring Darkness2mn color stereo 2011 Canada by Frédérick Maheux self-production self-distribution Will the light be enough to absorb the darkness of their souls?  Lightning Strikes4mn12 color & b/w stereo 2009 Germany by Sönke Held & Felix Kubin self-production self-distribution A super 8 paranoia extravaganza to the tunes of Felix Kubin.

MARSEILLE-HOMAGE3mn50 color stereo 2011 Croatia by Karlo Vranjes self-production self-distribution I have animated photographs from holidays in Marseilles. There is one statue on Saint-Charles Station main staircase. She represent Asia. Her attitude and face reminds me on famous singer. Marseilles is cosmopolitan city.

Meine stolze heimat3mn30 color & b/w stereo 2010 France by Yves-Marie Mahé self-production distribution : Light cone My dearest country.  memoriesofasovietsoldier3mn30 color & b/w stereo 2010 Italy by Marco Balducci self-production self-distribution "memoriesofasovietsoldier" is a video art work that combines manipulated archive film footage(from "Battle of Russia"), original shootings and special effects. This work treats about reactivation of memories of a person( in this case a soviet soldier ). I’m very interesting in mental process concerning memories flow, above all the way we associated particular images to specific sounds or musics. With this work I try to let go the viewer into the Hyppocampus of a soviet soldier for some minutes. All non originally videos and musics are taken from www.archive.org under creative commons license( public domain ). Other sounds are recorded and manipulated by myself. Editing video and sound are made by myself. The Hyppocampus at the beginning of the video is a little organic sculpture that I made.  Memory Game7mn40 color stereo 2010 Germany by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne self-production self-distribution Five friends meet each other once a year at another place on the globe for one day and play their memory game. In 2010, they meet in Berlin, a place where countless strings of memory come together at the focus of one place which is standing for the more than 6 millions of murdered Jews, the Memorial for The Murdered Jews in Europe. The video was filmed in Berlin, Budapest and Auschwitz and is released on occasion of 65th return of the Liberation of the Concentration Camp Auschwitz on 27 January 2010.  Moment Two5mn45 color stereo 2010 South Korea by Jung-Chul Hur self-production self-distribution When the scene begins, a fragile and very feminine swaying female figure is center frame. As the film slowly progresses, two male figures gradually emerge from the background and approach the female figure. Body movements, interactions between figures and shifts in light become synchronized with carefully chosen music.  Motorsport2mn48 color stereo 2010 Sweden by Antti Savela self-production self-distribution This is a video about motorsport.

Pustara / Wasteland26mn color stereo 2010 Croatia by Ivan Faktor production : Croatian Film Clubs’ Association self-distribution The film was shot by hand-held camera, and is all in subjective takes. The main "character" in the film is light. Light reveals characters and objects, without care for the composition of the shot or using artificial lighting. Simultaneously with the shooting of the refraction of light, the spreading – ringing of sound is recorded. And the most important – silence, because in the wasteland, on that "island" with no visible boundary between the sky and the earth, in that prison with no fences, silence is louder than the noise of any city.
