Sinopse
Novice policemen Stan and Ollie bungle a burglary investigation.
The film is made up of one single take. The camera pans to the left, focusing on a dilapidated fence in a rural field, as Ella Fitzgerald's "All My Life" plays on the soundtrack. At the end of the 3 minute film, the camera tilts up to the blue sky just as the song ends.
Filme mudo que mostra o primeiro beijo capturado por câmeras cinematográficas na história.
A 16mm Warhol film of Edie Sedgwick sitting in front of a television monitor on which is playing a prerecorded videotape of herself. On the videotape, Edie is positioned on the left side of the frame, facing right; she is talking to an unseen person off-screen to our right. In the film, the “real” or “live” Edie Sedgwick is seated on the right side of the film frame, with her video image behind her, and she is talking to an unseen person off-screen to our left. The effect of this setup is that it sometimes creates the rather strange illusion that we are watching Edie in conversation with her own video image.
Two creatures wonder, 'What is a hole?' They have different points of view. Their debate leads to an idea, an idea that changes the world. This is a story of practical magic. This film was made as part of the 5th edition of the NFB's Hothouse apprenticeship.
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?
An avant-garde sonic and visual reediting of a short clip from the classic 1962 film "To Kill a Mockingbird".
Arnold's source material is a piece of footage from the 1950s, eighteen seconds long and very typical for the period. A quiet take: A living room, a woman in an armchair. Her husband opens the door, kisses her, then moves out of the picture accompanied by a camera pan, his wife follows after him. In Arnold's film the sequence takes 16 minutes. Cadre by cadre, it becomes an exciting tango of movements. But Pièce Touchée is more than just a matter of forms; The reflections, distortions and delays it displays challenge cinema's stable system of space and time.
A short found footage trailer made for a film program dedicated to the depiction of Jesus in cinema.
A short segment of film is played with musical backing at various speeds for a jarring effect.
Half family photo album, half ciné-tract, the film was shot in Paris during the events of May ‘68 and in Rome where the actor was featuring in the film Partner by Bertolucci. Rediscovered in a basement in 1999, this silent film appears to be one of Clémenti’s most purely beautiful and concentrated works, at times recalling Brakhage and Eisenstein. - MUBI
Pierre Clémenti's Soleil presents a psychedelic meditation on his life and his detention in an Italian Prison in 1972.
Shot in 1967 but not released until 1975, actor Pierre Clémenti’s acid-infused experimental whirlwind of colour and music featuring a who’s who of the French 60s underground.
John Whitney's pioneering work of computer animation, Arabesque, from 1975. This flowing, abstract short film is a wonder to behold, a work of art. Like many other computer graphics pioneers, this film suggests roots in psychedelics and spiritual quests as much as engineering and mathematics.

Eggeling analisa objetivamente o movimento das formas enfatizando a linha em uma série de contrastes – vertical e horizontal, retas e curvas, claras e escuras, fortes e fracas, desaparecendo e emergindo – muito parecido com uma peça musical onde idiomas ou temas emergem.
