Sinopse
THE TRAIN is an allegory inspired by current events. There is an ongoing battle between good and evil, and Christianity is now under severe persecution. The film starts in the not-too-distant future in the year 2041 and it pivots between two different timelines. This film illustrates the conflicts as well as the erosion evil powers have created within the Roman Catholic Church. The laity itself becomes the main force holding the church together, as it fights the powers of darkness that takes the lives of Father Michael, Christie and her two daughters, Anna and Mary. The evil "Grandmother" who is the head of an ancient crime syndicate, and hates all of humanity, is desperately trying to get her hands on a vial which contains some droplets of the blood of Christ, now in the possession of Cardinal Langham, who bravely stands up to the communist forces that are chopping Christian's heads off.

Today, the art world and beyond is obsessed with shooting analog. Whether it's a fashion house seeking to bring a new edge to their creative work, an amateur perusing eBay for the perfect vintage Polaroid, or an influencer attempting to capture a comforting retro aesthetic on social media, analog photography has piqued the interest of people everywhere. Is this resurgence a backlash against digital photography? Is it just a trend perpetuated by our desire for authenticity in an increasingly superficial world? Or is it something else entirely?
Grain: Analog Renaissance is a documentary by Alex Contell and Tommaso Sacconi that explores the stories of those committed to using film in modern day photography.
Some Things Hidden (2020) is an experiment in rhythmic succession of still images to create illusions of movement through space in an altered time. The film documents a day with the artist and his parents on a hike through active bear country, beneath the Grand Tetons in Wyoming using a hand cranked 35mm movie camera.
“Nauseous,” is a spontaneous experimentation with light and shadow that taken in a still photograph made into a moving image. Using only 35mm analogue camera. Some of the photos are archival photos during the production of GMIII: Essay 23-28 (short film project) while several other are taken in a nauseous state. During the state, the photos are barely planned and to be thought of, in resulting a pure sporadic irregular experimentation of black and white medium. An attempt of visualization the concept of duality (black (+) white) and human irrational yet vivid visual of sickness.
