Set at an artificial reservoir in North Carolina, RESERVOIR (SEVEN FRAGMENTS) is a meditation on the unnatural histories of the American environment. The film approaches both the cinematic image and the landscape it captures as damaged, estranged things—things adrift in a world of irreparable discord.

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 chimney sweep and his beloved shepherdess are aided by Wonderbird in their escape from a ruthless dictator

A musical horror story about two young women who are stalked through a shopping mall by a cannibal. He follows them home, and here the victims become the aggressors.

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.

22 Light-years draws on a range of visual sources, including photographic negatives, diagrams, found patterned papers, and archival footage. These sources merge, sometimes uncomfortably, with video that was screen-recorded while operating desktop home design software. By creating digital floor plans, landscaping, and roofless homes in real time, and manipulating those videos to move them further away from the software’s intent, Geiser fabricates a digitally lush, elliptical, uncanny world, where home planning never results in a tangible home. The familiar material elements (negatives, diagrams, flower seed packets) wear the skin of the immaterial realm, suggesting time as simultaneous, mutable, and unknown. (janiegeiser.com)

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.

One night, Reine, a young loner, sees among the urban chaos a moving oneness that seems alive, like some sort of guide.

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.

100 basic images switching positions for 4000 frames.

This animated short is a play on motion set against a background of multi-hued sky. Spheres of translucent pearl float weightlessly in the unlimited panorama of the sky, grouping, regrouping or colliding like the stylized burst of some atomic chain reaction. The dance is set to the musical cadences of Bach, played by pianist Glenn Gould.

PUTREFIXION: A Video of Nina Temich is the first feature to be entirely filmed on a 360 camera. Director David Torres utilizes the disorienting nature of a 360 lens to transform Mexico City, accentuate the ritual of dance, and open a new chapter of in-world-camera narratives. As Nina, model and dancer Dalia Xiuhcoatl controls the space and movement of the camera, giving this portrait of a young woman's brush with the supernatural a mesmerizing feminine energy.

An obsessive, genius programmer sacrifices everything in his personal and professional life to build a computer of unprecedented power.

Various gestures of hand held razorblade, single frame exposures.

A film accompaniment featuring songs from Perfume Genius' newest record, Ugly Season.

Animator Ryan Larkin does a visual improvisation to music performed by a popular group presented as sidewalk entertainers. His take-off point is the music, but his own beat is more boisterous than that of the musicians. The illustrations range from convoluted abstractions to caricatures of familiar rituals. Without words.
