Sol do Marmelo é um filme sobre a determinação artística da vontade de representar um marmeleiro sobre o qual incide maravilhosamente a luz da manhã. E isso é a mesma coisa que filmar a confrontação daquela vontade com a fluência cósmica e irreparável do tempo, fazendo com que encare a variabilidade meteorológica e a efemeridade das formas orgânicas. Victor Erice oferece sua câmera à metódica, quase missionária, entrega de Antonio Lopez ao seu trabalho.
Seemingly at random, the wings and other bits of moths and insects move rapidly across the screen. Most are brown or sepia; up close, we can see patterns within wings, similar to the veins in a leaf. Sometimes the images look like paper cutouts, like Matisse. Green objects occasionally appear. Most wings are translucent. The technique makes them appear to be stuck directly to the film.
Um Curta sobre John Bolton é um filme com tema atual e sombriamente hilário que explora a questão muito atormentadora para artistas de todos os tipos: "De onde vêm suas ideias?" Pinturas de voluptuosas vampiras nuas renderam ao excêntrico e renomado artista John Bolton a fama de ter imaginação doentia. Jonathan Ross, grande nome da Rádio BBC, compra algumas de seus obras, o que leva o entrevistador Marcus Brigstocke a investigar o que está por trás da bela - mas aterradora - arte de John. Por que ele tem a necessidade de que suas obras apresentem esse caráter sui generis? O que o artista quer com a faca que carrega a todo lugar? Marcus pelo menos será capaz de operar a própria câmera?

In 1969, Taylor Mead complained to his friend artist Wynn Chamberlain that Andy Warhol had never paid him for any of the work he had done for him and Wynn said he would make a film especially for Taylor. Inspired by the banality of 1960's television, Chamberlain wrote and directed Brand X, an 87 minute series of faux television shows spoofing the politics and mass media of the day, complete with commercials for Sex, Sweat, Computer Dating and Peanut Butter. BRAND X follows Taylor Mead through a day in a wacky television studio as he portrays an exercise guru, a talk show host, a veteran returning from the American Civil War, a hospital patient in a soap opera, the President of the United States and a televangelist giving the Nightly Sermon. BRAND X satirizes President Nixon, the Vietnam War, sex, drugs, computers, money and race relations.

FOREIGNERS OUT! SCHLINGENSIEFS CONTAINER is a thrilling, insightful, funny chronicle and reflection of one of he biggest public pranks and acts of art terrorism ever committed. Austria 2000: Right after the FPÖ under Jörg Haider had become part of the government, the first time an extreme right wing party became state officials after WW2, infamous German shock director Christoph Schlingensief showed a very unique form of protest. Realising public xenophobia and the new hate politics in the most drastic ways possible, he installed a public concentration camp right in the middle of Vienna's touristic heart, right beside the picturesque opera where hundreds of tourists and locals pass by daily. And it was no concentration camp you had ever feared to return from the old times, but one that cynically reflected our new multimedia culture. Satirising reality TV shows, "Big Brother" especially, a dozen asylum seekers were surveilled by a multitude of cameras, could be fed and watched by.
