La narradora de este videoensayo, que va de la crónica al videoarte, ronda el aislamiento pandémico desde la autobiografía.

In the woods, a young woman and man scuffle as they fight for life. Gently lit and accompanied with a soundtrack of soaring strings, this film by Jessie Oldfield and Adam Murfet explores vulnerability, connectedness and a renewed sense of self among the autumn leaves.

A man enters a passage and must choose to embrace either the persistence of time or the will of nature. Through improvised movement and choreography, this short film is a playful meditation on the body, space, and the present moment. The film was shot as part of Cinemovement Laboratory VI: Solo in Studio Plesungan, an art space run by Indonesian artist Melati Suryodarmo in the northern part of Solo, Indonesia.

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.

What would you do if a look from an old man told you that being young is the coolest thing possible? And what should you do if you're young but you do not know what to make of it?

All images were filmed on Market Street, one of the main streets in San Francisco. The visual was carefully composed frame by frame, while shooting on the street.

Expansion remixes the images of Matsumoto’s Esctasis into an more colourful psychedelic short.

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.

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.

In Connection, a static shot of the sky with moving clouds is subdivided into regular geometrical regions, which are then individually (and rhythmically) manipulated.

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.

The second year of a project to draw graffiti of light that looks like lightning. We left Japan and extended the circle of the project to Los Angeles and Ottawa.

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.

A woman treads on a vague path of reality and dream

Shot on Yokohama’s famous Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris Wheel using a telephoto lens, Japanese experimentalist Tomonari Nishikawa's film becomes a disorientingly trippy and constantly regenerating play of structural supports as filmic apparatus.

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

In his film #43, Joost Rekveld observes what happens to a system that is destabilised by ‘creative' pixels, drawing inspiration from the set of ideas in biology and mathematics that arose during the development of cybernetics in the 1950s.

The birth of the universe, and the origin of all creation. Humans invented tools, discovered fire and painted murals in dark caves. Murals were created on a mission to pass down stories and history to posterity. From murals, we could tell that the discovery of fire was a highly important turning point for ancient humans. Now it's time for us, humans, to reconsider energy. Light animation by TOCHKA.
