Belle is processing her toxic relationship and coming to terms with the need for it to end. The closer she gets to closure, the more the world around Belle starts to break down, literally and abstractly. Will she be able to come out the other side?
"If it Won’t Hold Water, it Surely Won’t Hold a Goat" is an intimate meditation on the subversive nature of goats and their effect on the people who spend time with them. Centered on the story of the legendary Goat Man - a nomadic figure who spent most of his life walking the roads of Georgia with a wagon pulled by a herd of goats - this experimental documentary weaves together an interview with a goat farmer, footage of the daily rituals Johnson enacted with her own herd, and a poem about the Goat Man’s experimental and spectacular life.
Siete chicas de instituto ven sus vacaciones chafadas cuando su profesor (Kiyohiko Ozaki) tiene que cancelar el viaje que tenía planeado realizar con ellas. Las cosas marchan incluso algo peor para Oshare (Kimiko Ikegami), una de las chicas, ya que recientemente su padre le ha presentado su nueva madastra (Haruko Wanibuchi), lo que no le ha hecho demasiada gracia. Mirando un álbum de fotos, Oshare se encuentra con la foto de boda de su madre a quien se la ve acompañada de su hermana (Yoko Minamida) quien nunca llegó a casarse ya que su prometido murió en la guerra. Oshare se pone en contacto con su tía y ésta la invita a ella y a sus amigas a pasar las vacaciones en su mansión en el campo. Cuando el grupo de chicas se presentan en la mansión, allí las recibe la tía de Oshare en sillas de ruedas y medio ciega. Muy pronto las chicas descubren que la mansión tiene vida propia.

Welcome to Come, which depicts a somewhat mysterious transformation of the image in the course of a single zoom, was my only film to achieve a small measure of "popularity," with a short write up in Variety and prints purchased by several film teachers who still show it today.

"By composing the rhythmic scores of the images of Black Sun I pursued “a beauty of power”, as the poet Pierre-Jean Jouve writes, rather than a beauty of harmony, drawing light sculptures that unfold over time and are engraved in the night of the retina according to optical-luministic scores regulated by the laws of an inner metric..." Arcangelo Mazzoleni, Work diaries, 2003
Erkki Kurenniemi was arguably one of the first artists to propose or fantasise about a complete cultural surrender to cyber existence, and his entire career, covering such diverse fields as artificial intelligence, music, engineering, film, dance or rhetorics, testifies to this desire to escape the limits of the human body and transgress into a different dimension, bordering on techno-fetishism. In his 1964 short Electronics in the World of Tomorrow, Kurenniemi presents a slideshow of the most aseptic signs of technological imagination: diagrams, chips, machines, cold surfaces. But footage of human warmth also comes up - mostly in black and white, as if to give humans the status of a memory. Originally silent, the film was in this version endowed with a electronic music piece by Kurenneimi himself: a cold, aggressive soundtrack that could be said to present technology as a potentially menacing affair, although this is a reading that the director would certainly refute.
A dancer encounters an unnatural menacing force to the beat of a rockabilly tune. Madness ensues as the surreal and nightmarish event unfolds setting the stage for the question of whats real and whats not. Is it a dream or hallucination?
