(Par hasard) vers le mur39mn color mono 2010 France by Vincent Morisseau & Chloé Jaillet self-production self-distribution Two french tourists searching the western wall in the old city of Jerusalem by night.  11:11:1111mn11 color sil 2010 Brazil by Dalila Martins self-production self-distribution Lights appear in paths that lead to nowhere.

A tribute to the language in ruins.  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?  A Suite of Forms2mn44 color mono 2011 USA by Nicholas A. Kelly (Eiliyas) self-production self-distribution A simple object modified by basic camera movement, then further analyzed and explored by changes in rhythm and points of focus.

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.

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  ANSWERS14mn50 color dolby stereo 2010 USA by Marilyn Volkman self-production self-distribution "ANSWERS (NATO BASES)" presents a series of question and answer sessions videotaped during normal working hours with military personnel stationed at two NATO Headquarters locations in Europe.

Après l'hiver9mn55 color stereo 2010 Canada by Étienne Paquette production : Parallèle 91 distribution : Julie Armstrong-Boileau In 2105, nearly 600 years after Jacques Cartier’s first winter in America, the continent was stricken by 30 years of pouring rain. The landscape was transformed, a new New World emerged. North of Quebec, a group of men and women set sail, in search of that land they once knew. The voyage brought them back to a lost part of themselves they used to call winter. After Winter, A Poem From The Next World is an experimental work, consisting for the most part of recycled footage originally shot in the Equatorial Jungle in 2002. This ode to winter questions the relations between the human soul and the environment in our days of climate changes.  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.

As A Whistle25mn color & b/w stereo 2011 USA by Phillip Duncan production : Cleo Fishel distribution : Fleischfilm Love is a dirty business. The lack of love even dirtier. You can scrub and sing all day until your skin is as red as a valentine. But they will never return. This same body that moved them to tears, this same body that warmed them... is now frozen inside a song.  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...  attendre12mn52 color stereo 2010 France by Isabelle Schneider self-production self-distribution Railway station.

Bassine-moi33mn color & b/w stereo 2010 France by Natacha Roscio self-production self-distribution These autonomous scenes do not seem to be related to each other, precisely because of the obvious unsociability of the characters. They coexist in mentally constructed parallel worlds but cannot link together, which suggests a dreadful social reality... However, here and there, a link emerges, round and red, or green and spherical, made of wood or scrap metal… the object. As a palliative against the absence of otherness, the object, be it real or imaginary, fills the void left by the others’ absence. Everyone has their own “bassine”.  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.

Billiards Melody6mn45 color stereo 2011 France by Jean-Michel Rolland self-production self-distribution A billiards cue hits the white ball which breaks the rack apart. This action is developed all along the video on different frames, tonalities and rhythms. This video is one of a series trying to make sounds and images meet in a transmediality approach.  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.

Capture mode28mn58 color stereo 2010 France by Béatrice Plumet production : Red Star Cinema distribution : Red Star Cinéma I have always wanted to capture the time. Since many years, I’ve collected a photographical substance to hold which never stops getting away from me. Today, I’ve renounced to this gesture of obsessional recording. Revisiting those intimate records, I’m looking for what has been changing in this passing time.  Carte du Ciel12mn color & b/w stereo 2011 USA by David Baumflek self-production self-distribution "Carte du Ciel" was an international astronomical project in the late 19th & early 20th century to photograph the entire universe.

Danses6mn color stereo 2009 USA by Kevin Evensen self-production self-distribution "Danses" is comprised of three pieces, looped together to create a digital tryptic. The digital sound in "Danses" is an electro acoustic digital arrangement based on Erik Satie's "Gymnopodies".

Until reaching total darkness, the darkness that was the principle of everything and the creation itself.

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.

Who should say from visual and pictural score (the sequence itself) or from sonorous material (the playing accordion) which is following the other — is embracing the other? Fluid live pictures and sounds of the wind/keyboard instrument are forming one body with this "Whose song" by the slovenian composer for Hussong’s accordion.

Losing Ground13mn color stereo 2010 Canada by Isabelle Hayeur self-production distribution : Groupe Intervention Vidéo "Losing Ground" is a critique of urban sprawl and the resulting erosion and homogenization of the countryside across the world. With its negation of city history, of geographic particularities, and thus of cultural memory, this standardized urbanization imposes its amnesia, individualistic lifestyle, and jarring presence in nature. Filmed in Quartier DIX30 in Brossard, the biggest lifestyle center in Canada, the video sounds out recently man-made territories so as to decipher humanity’s relationships with the environment. It confronts us with the dizzying spectacle of our diminishing local references, as they give way to cultural stereotypes, now become universal through.

They are moved in all three dimensions and finally torn apart. These modular clips are assembled digitally to geometrical forms and abstract constellations. Each plant particle has its own sound created by plants or nature. These sounds are sampled and composed to create the score of the films.

This piece is a compilation of the results from speakers in New York, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing, whose native languages were English, Chinese, and Cantonese; and who learned to speak Chinese, Cantonese, French and English.  Non film in three acts and a prelude12mn30 color & b/w stereo 2010 Germany by Rita Macedo self-production self-distribution Shot entirely in Super8, "Non film in three acts and a prelude" is an absurd ride conducted by a bodyless head, two invisible characters counting stones as bodies, a filmmaker muffled by her own film and two lone virgin-mary-like creatures.  nostalgia13mn color stereo 2009 Belgium by Pieter Geenen self-production distribution : Argos centre for art and media In the context of the since 1974 divided island of Cyprus, "nostalgia" questions the geopolitical meaning of land and the touristic exploitation of the landscape in relation to political propaganda.

Oh8mn b/w stereo 2010 Belgium by Anouk De Clercq self-production self-distribution "Oh" seeks to reanimate the ambitious, utopian spirit of renegade architect Etienne-Louis Boullée (1728-1799). True to the spirit of the utopian architectural tradition Boullée is part of, he is probably best remembered today for one unrealized project in particular: the design for a gigantic sphere-shaped shrine dedicated to one of the founding fathers of modern science, Isaac Newton (1784). Although the historical reference to an unrealized architectural project adds a nostalgic, melancholy twist to Oh, De Clercq nevertheless stays true to her well-documented passion for images of futurity. Oh sees the continuation of De Clercq’s singular ‘poétique de l’espace’ – a richly textured visual investigation of the allegorical tension between inside and outside, real and imaginary (‘virtual’), two- and three-dimensional, analogue and digital, immensity and intimacy.  One Two Three. Five7mn50 color stereo 2009 Sweden by Tomoyuki Yago self-production self-distribution This is a film about nothingness and intervention.

He wrote the solo "Delirium Tremens", I realize "Because, I", we work around the same questions. My movie examines the relationship between oneself and the others, attachment and detachment from bodies, the irreducible otherness that separates us and yet defined the social and intimate’s scope of what we are. The image is taken as a material from which the movie is shaped. Movie of collages, assemblages, where narration predates less and less to direct experimentation of shooting-editing. Do not tell a story in a linear fashion but take an idea and turn around.

Passage7mn30 color stereo 2009 Ireland by Eimhin Hawes self-production self-distribution "Passage" is a three-part video work that evokes a sense of fear and unease through its use of visceral imagery and eerie, atmospheric sound. The work explores three distinctive yet interconnected processes, suggestive of the metaphysical transitions between life, death and rebirth. The unsettling nature of the sound and the suffocating characteristics of the dust-like material provoke the viewer to consider mortality and the inherent sense of mysticism in the unknown.

Pioneers35mn color stereo 2009 USA by Charles Fairbanks self-production self-distribution "Pioneers" is a portrait of industrial agriculture and new-age spirituality, focusing on the filmmaker’s parents. It is also an unwitting self-portrait of an artist returning to the place he grew up, where he feels both the comforts of home and the alienating weight of the past. While "Pioneers" shows us remarkably different worldviews coexisting on the Great Plains, in the same bedroom, it also unravels complex facets of identity, belief, relationships: the ways we resist and inhabit one another.  Poética Pública. PLAZA71mn color & b/w stereo 2010 Spain by Esther Pérez de Eulate self-production self-distribution The film takes place in one location, the Reina Sofia Museum Square, Madrid (Spain). Small stories of anonymous characters are woven together taking us on a journey through Spain of the last 7 years, from 2003 to 2010. This square provides a unique stage for the unfolding of the social movements, the political demands, everyday life, the latest fashions, improvised performances, international events, moments of great intimacy, celebrations, life stages, the transformation of the museum, personal frictions and leisure... a description of life in the street, that recovers the poetry of the everyday.

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.  Rachki4mn47 color stereo 2010 Canada by Kandis Friesen self-production distribution : Groupe Intervention Vidéo "Rachki" is an experimental video looking at memory, migration, translation, and loss. Layers of stop-motion animation and archival footage bring together both a family history and a collective one; inaccessible (and badly translated) Plaut'dietsch, archival footage of Siberian gulags and Ukrainian villages, my grandmother's collecting and art-making practices, and Mennonite traditions that never left the former USSR.

With the fishes ceaselessly swimming round and round the glass bowl in front of the urban backdrop, "Swimming Around" tries to explore the ultimate claustrophobia, monotony, alienation and stagnancy we achieve as we go about our lives in the glittering, attractive, mammoth metropolis that apparently promises to offer variety and a plethora of diverse choices.

The Oyster Effect12mn52 color & b/w stereo 2010 Italy by Valentina Ferrandes self-production self-distribution "Tarantism" was a medical condition to be found in Basilicata and Puglia, a remote region of South Italy, until the eighties. According to popular belief, it was provoked by the bite of a poisonous spider called Tarantula and its manifestations were convulsions, paralysis, speaking difficulties, and nausea. It was mainly affecting women, and it could only be relieved and eventually cured through frantic dancing induced by a particular fast paced music called Tarantella. Using as a departure point excerpts of documentary footage shot by the anthropologist Ernesto De Martino team in 1959, during his field research in Salento, "The Oyster Effect" develops into a collage of historical references as narrating voices over a visual journey. In the film, the portrayal of women and hysteria is shown as a series of parallels between built environments, architectural spaces, landscape and their narration. The viewer travels through foreign languages and non-descriptive locations, in a journey that challenges linearity and historicism. The attempt to bridge the specific representations of women’s subjectivity as products of their cultural environments, in the north and southern Europe, is persistently negated by the conflicting relation between image and narrating voice.
