카메라없이 처음으로 만들어진 작품. 실제로 필름 위에 나방의 날개, 꽃잎 조각, 풀 등을 콜라주 형태로 붙여놓고 일련의 프린트 과정을 거친 작품으로 널리 알려져 있다. 이미 죽어버린 생명체가 작가의 손길을 거쳐 스크린 위에 다시 투영될 때의 빛의 숨결을 받아 새로운 생명으로 환생한다는 역설적인 메시지를 지니고 있다. 바로 빛의 깜박거림으로 인하여 영사기를 통해 보여지는 나방의 날개는 마치 살아서 움직이는 것같은 환상을 관객들에게 제공한다.
A dark comedy about a murder and its consequences presented in a backwards manner, where death is actually a rebirth. The film starts with an "execution" of the main protagonist and goes back to explore his previous actions and motivations.
In Manhattan's Central Park, a film crew directed by William Greaves is shooting a screen test with various pairs of actors. It's a confrontation between a couple: he demands to know what's wrong, she challenges his sexual orientation. Cameras shoot the exchange, and another camera records Greaves and his crew. Sometimes we watch the crew discussing this scene, its language, and the process of making a movie. Is there such a thing as natural language? Are all things related to sex? The camera records distractions - a woman rides horseback past them; a garrulous homeless vet who sleeps in the park chats them up. What's the nature of making a movie?
Experimental film consisting of a single static shot of the Empire State Building from early evening until nearly 3 am the next day.
A creation myth realized in light, patterns, images superimposed, rapid cutting, and silence. A black screen, then streaks of light, then an explosion of color and squiggles and happenstance. Next, images of small circles emerge then of the Sun. Images of our Earth appear, woods, a part of a body, a nude woman perhaps giving birth. Imagery evokes movement across time. Part of the Dog Star Man series of experimental films.
What are they? What do they seek? When all the lights go out, they will wander. And you will never see them.
“I've never seen light that looks or feels so dark; forward moving possibility united with so much cosmic terror.”—Marilyn Brakhage
After a catastrophic global war, a young filmmaker awakens in the carnage and seeks refuge in the only other survivor: an eccentric, ideologically opposed figure of the United States military. Together, they brave the toxic landscape in search of safety... and answers.
A short film by Bryce Hodgson.
100 basic images switching positions for 4000 frames.
A commission for the San Francisco Exploratorium, this film-collage studies the water systems and architecture of the San Francisco waterfront, in abstract and formal contexts.
Kinoautomat was the world's first interactive movie, conceived by Radúz Činčera for the Czechoslovak Pavilion at Expo '67 in Montreal. At nine points during the film the action stops, and a moderator appears on stage to ask the audience to choose between two scenes; following an audience vote, the chosen scene is played.
Consistent stylistic-thematic structures link and merge throughout the bewildering event chain. The distinction between organic forms and human artifacts is blurred by the visual style which is enigmatic without being ambiguous.
An abstract animated film inspired by the work of jazz musician Chico Hamilton.
With some amount of irony, filmmaker Joe Biglin strings together 7 shorts about himself and things that trigger his OCD.
People are punished not for their sins, but by their sins and this is the most severe and proper punishment.
For this film, Takashi Makino allowed himself to be inspired by the earth. In a never-ending stream of images, we recognize elements from the forest that he then reduces to an abstraction. The film came about as a classical composition in which the picture and the musical contribution of Jim O’Rourke link up seamlessly and lead the mood in turn. A sense of freedom is what predominates.
