Lori Felker follows-up her essayistic short Spon- taneous with this wonderfully discomforting examination of life with a toddler. Starting with a chronological series of vignettes before focusing on an awkward encounter with a neighbor babysitter, Not You is Felker’s funniest/eeriest short since...
A strange untitled test film is found and revived. Thus begins a documentary project based on that film. That documentary is never finished. The unfinished documentary is found and a television show investigates it and its maker. That episode never airs. An interview opportunity surfaces a little...
A correspondence film: rolls of high contrast black and white film were sent back and forth in the mail over the course of a year until the film began to reveal itself as a science non-fiction fairy tale, a speculative quest – circling and searching, falling and landing, entering and exiting –...
Luis Buñuel’s observation – “You can find all of Shakespeare and de Sade in the lives of insects” – was the inspiration for this experimental horror movie, in which human actors wordlessly enact the life-cycles of wasps and bees. Its purpose is to depict with emotion, humor and unnerving...
On the trail of Tall Tales, on a tour of an American treasure, on the path of an area once inhabited by people we don’t know, people we’ve never met, on a land complete with gift shops, parking lots, and sky rides, at the foot of a tree that predates and outlasts all of this, we now insert...
Bild Quilt is a interesting little DVD project from the young avant-garde filmmaker Lori Felker that blurs the lines between harsh noise and psychedelia, experimental film, and digital collage art. Bild means “image” in German, and the crux of this project was to create a “virtual quilt” of...
It all started when we found some Mrs. Claus dolls at a craft store . . . This film unravels a slightly disturbing family tale of continued incest in a surreal, gritty, distant world . . . at the end of your street. This is what I like to call “homemade found footage”: an addition to the piles...
A mysterious, misfit family readies a feast for a group of visiting outlanders. As they shuffle through ritualistic preparations, shadows reveal each creature- one menacing, one wounded, and one worn, stewards of an old tradition.
Frame by frame, letter by letter, this film aligns riddles/answers from 6 rolls of Super-8, with the structure, poetry and imagery posed by Ugandan crossword puzzles. Across & Down is a study of simultaneous simplicity and complexity and the resulting serendipity and chaos.
Zwischen exists on the thin line between opposing forces. There is no grey between black and white, as Zwischen jumps from earth to space, mixes matter with air, and materializes inspiration at the insistence of the hand. Dirt moves over light to a hand-drawn soundtrack of noise and space.
A mysterious, amusing, semi-nostalgic ramble through a small town in Iowa gives way to what may be the U.S.S. Enterprise indulging in a bit of time travel. Dialogue contrasts the pleasures of the simple life with its hardships and the mere act of looking at a patch of mums is complicated by the...
A fractured, makeshift family ekes out a meditative existence, their lives mysteriously intertwined through ritual and habit. Part musical, part melodrama. An enigmatic tale of eternal return, a decayed slice of Midwestern Gothic.
We are faking, lying, performing, stretching, translating, doctoring, manipulating, mistaking, working, earning, trying, reporting, deceiving, interpreting, demonstrating, sinking. "We're surrounded by images. Most art is in a frame, you know it isn't real, it's in a frame. But in addition to just...
A distorted portrait of an artist that explores storytelling, ego, delusion, conviction and memory. VON LMO is a musician/artist and self-proclaimed alien-hybrid who was a part of the late 70s New York No Wave music scene. Between trips to his home planet of Strazar and multi-dimensional travel,...
