Краткое содержание

A hand-processed portrait of Jake Williams – who lives alone within miles of forest in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Jake always has many jobs on at any one time, rarely throws anything away, is an expert mandolin player, and has compost heaps going back many years. He has a different sense of time to most people in the 21st Century, which is explicitly expressed in his idea for creating hedges by putting up bird feeders.

Swiss Army Knife with Rats and Pigeons
Utilising an apparently new-found obsession with the colour red and reinvigorating some of the circular imagery of A Man and His Dog Out for Air and 69, Breer delves into the very basis of animation to explore how a variety of easily recognisable objects can be portrayed and manipulated differently using pixillation and classically drawn animation. -Malcolm Turner

Мадлен
Короткометражный мультфильм, основанный на серии детских книг Людвига Бемельманса. В 1935 году американский писатель женился на Мадлен Фрейнд, а спустя четыре года вышла его первая книга «Мадлен» о беспечной маленькой парижанке, обеспечившая автору широкую известность. У первой истории шесть продолжений. Сюжет одного из эпизодов многосерийного издания лег в основу этого мультфильма. Юная Мадлен воспитывается в пансионате для девочек. Она растет ровесниц — похожих на нее, как две капли воды хорошеньких девчонок, учится хорошим манерам, танцует и постигает грамоту. Но все-таки Мадлен отличается от своих подруг, начиная с того, что она не боится мышей и даже тигров.
Zen for Film
In an endless loop, unexposed film runs through the projector. The resulting projected image shows a surface illuminated by a bright light, occasionally altered by the appearance of scratches and dust particles in the surface of the damaged film material. This a film which depicts only its own material qualities; An "anti-film", meant to encourage viewers to focus on the lack of concrete images.
Capitalism: Slavery
In Capitalism: Slavery, Jacobs uses a Victorian stereograph (a double-photograph) of slaves picking cotton under the watchful eye of a white overseer as the source for this wrenching silent work. Through digital manipulation, Jacobs creates a haunting illusion of depth and movement. It is as if he has "entered" the image and reactivated this historical moment; he moves among the figures and isolates individuals, creating a stuttering, pulsing effect that suggests motion even as it animates stasis.
Seeking the Monkey King
Suggestion: Please see 'Another Occupation' before 'Seeking the Monkey King'. Contains flicker like many of my works; avoid if you have epilepsy or other unusual brain conditions.
Dusty Stacks of Mom: The Poster Project
Interweaving the forms of personal filmmaking, abstract animation, and the rock opera, this animated musical documentary examines the rise and fall of a nearly-defunct poster and postcard wholesale business; the changing role of physical objects and virtual data in commerce; and the division (or lack of) between abstraction in fine art and psychedelic kitsch. Using alternate lyrics as voice over narration, the piece adopts the form of a popular rock album reinterpreted as a cine-performance.
