Parergon (2022)

Pen and Jake have to rescue Princess Bubblegum from the antagonistic Ice King.

45억년의 진화를 거친 지구에게 우리는 감당하기 힘들 정도의 충격을 가하고 있다. 과도하게 소비하고 있으며 지구의 자원을 고갈시키고 있다. 하늘에서 볼 때, 지구의 상처는 명백히 드러난다. 은 지구의 상처를 꾸밈없이 보여주고 그 해결책을 제시한다. 그리고 이 영화는 한편으로 우리의 능력을 보여준다. 환경에 맞추어 바뀌거나, 환경을 바꾸는 능력을. 이 영화의 부제는 “비관론에 빠져있을 시간이 없다”라고 할 수 있다. 우리는 우리의 세계를 바꾸어놓을 중요한 선택의 기로에 서있다. 자, 그렇다면 이제 어느 쪽으로 우리의 능력을 발전시킬 수 있을까?

어린 날에 어디론가 떠나버린 아버지. 딸은 아버지를 기다리다가 할머니가 되었다. 삶이란 사람들에게 그렇게 어딘가에서 그리움을 남기고, 또한 사람들은 그러한 그리움을 가슴에 안은 채 살아 간다. 기묘하게 쓸쓸한 느낌과 아름다운 화면이 관객들에게 깊은 여운을 남긴다.

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 modern adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's short story about a man and a woman sharing an unexpected encounter on a train as it travels through a beautiful and surreal landscape.

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.

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)

Uptight Millie Haven has always followed the rules, but when she has doubts before her big Kansas City wedding, her attitude-prone little sister Emma, the least likely of heroes, comes to the rescue.

An anonymous narrator outlines a bizarre journey taken through "H", aided by a series of extraordinary maps, and his previous dealings with the mysterious Tulse Luper and the keeper of the bird house at the Amsterdam Zoo.

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.

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 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.

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

Via the New York Times: "...a severely obscure meditation on pre-revolutionary Russia in the form of an encounter between a ghost from the past and the ghost's present-day guardian. In fact, the two characters seem to be the shade of Anton Chekhov and the young man who tends a Chekhov museum in the Crimea, though that is never made explicit."

Take a cross-country flight over Ireland's natural wonders and ancient ruins. In this spectacular overview of the historically significant Emerald Isle, we soar over Neolithic tombs of the Celtic era, medieval castles of the Vikings, and modern cities humming with life. From the tower that inspired a novelist to the ancestral home of a famous stout, we explore the sites, the people, and the milestones of this unique gem of Western Europe.

A study of light and shadows, framing and composition with no clear narrative. A visual essay on silence and the passing of time.

Lengthy static shots of various backroads, smaller interstates, quieter roads, and lonely highways.

An experimental short film by Walerian Borowczyk and Jan Lenica.

Experimental film consisting of a single static shot of the Empire State Building from early evening until nearly 3 am the next day.

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.
