Watermelon Canned Juice (2021)

A short film about ties and gaps between a child and a parent. The author rediscovers letters her dad used to write her from prison. That love seems to be gone now. She decides to write back in hope to find the connection again. She puts in writing what could not be said: blaming him for family´s break-up but also trying to understand.

Un joven Laloux, inmerso en el mundo de la pintura y las expresiones artísticas, ingresa como monitor en la clínica psiquiátrica Cour Cheverny de París, en 1955. Los espectáculos teatrales -marionetas y mimo- realizados por los mismos internados, son el reparto y guión para su cortometraje sin diálogos "Les dents du singe" (Los dientes del mono). El film se realiza con la colaboración del estudio ofrecido por Paul Grimault. La música la conduce Maurice Ohana y el corto se presenta en algún que otro festival amateur. La provocación de su obra por un sobreuso de un surrealismo denso, consigue la atención del público y de la crítica.

A woman treads on a vague path of reality and dream

Discomposure is an experimental movie made of moving images of women, while they worked and were filmed under an aesthetic of fracture. Her bodies were positioned by the white middle classes men's eyes as if they were parts that served like props, support, and of spectators of lives which depended on these women. The movie disorganized this visual aesthetic. It did to see that, between who was filming and those entered, marginally, the scene, there was the black female look that stared at the camera, as an affront, so showing affirmation, contestation, and constraint.

An experimental short film, shot during the COVID-19 pandemic, made by one person. Using recorded scenes and archival footage, the short presents an unorthodox narrative to explore the themes of self-identification, identity, gender expression and androgyny.

With every moment – one more memory. But memory sometimes goes blind and what is left becomes hazy.

One man, one camera, one goal...to capture the essence of adventure. An experimental, often abstract new type of filmmaking process creating color rich visuals combined with a lush soundtrack that grounds the project. A unique cinematic experience.

Bill Morrison’s experimental short features decayed film reels from the lost, German silent film Pawns of Passion (1928).

The screen is divided again and again until the picture arranged in ever changing strips bursts into whirring dynamic.

Clear Blue Sky is the study of movements, colors, shapes and their relation to sound. Visual effects are created through, not a lens, but an adjustable slit, which was attached in front of the image sensor chip of a DV camcorder, while shooting at Washington Square, San Francisco.

A short study for the optical printer, based on found footage of fire, on coloured light from the printer and chemical manipulations of the film emulsion. The film, consisting of 11 sections, changes from a traditionally centered image towards images that cover lengths of the filmstrip and originate from the material itself.

A study in visual rhythm with images of architecture in Manhattan, New York, using the technique I did for the first sequence in Sketch Film #3. All edited in-camera and hand-processed afterwards. This film was commissioned by Echo Park Film Center for the celebration of its 12th anniversary.

Conceived, drawn and animated live by a team of patients from a psychiatric clinic, this achievement presents, in the eyes of its author, less interest on a purely cinematographic level than on that of human experience. It is the disturbing wordless story of a woman and a man living in a strange setting where objects are endowed with life that they have chosen to tell us through this theater of shadow puppets in cut out figurines. Their characters will know a tragic fate since carried in the air by balloons, they will finally be devoured by a horrible dragon.

Organic forms are beating and resorbing, reflections dance to the rhythm of Henk BADINGS 'music, circles of light flash like disturbing eyes, perpetual metamorphoses evoke a great living and throbbing organism.

“Both NEW YORK LOFT and DOLL HOUSE convey a strong sense of resourcefulness, this ‘making something’ out of interiors, specifically domestic spaces. And domestic they are, in an avant-garde sort of way. The filmmaker gives plentiful evidence of arranging things, moving them, adjusting, placing and re-placing. First are poles and sticks found; second is fabric, sheets, pillows; in a third section we see round things. Circular magnets, machine parts, film cans and the like eventually become visually paralleled with the camera lens itself. The lens is seen as Barbara films into a round mirror. How different are the visions of this woman-with-a-movie-camera from Vertov of sixty years ago! Each extols the camera-eye, but Hammer replaces Vertov’s sociopolitical kino-truths with adventures in domestic space.” – Claudia Gorbman, Jump Cut
