Jusqu’au silence (1992)

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.

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.

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)

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.

После катастрофической глобальной войны молодой режиссер просыпается в кровавой бойне и ищет убежища в единственном выжившем: эксцентричной, идеологически оппозиционной фигуре вооруженных сил Соединенных Штатов. Вместе они преодолевают токсичный ландшафт в поисках безопасности... и ответов.

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.

В некоем Доме-музее работает сторожем странный молодой человек. Однажды ночью в ванной он встречает другого странного человека, похожего на некоего известного писателя. Тот самозабвенно моется, на требование паренька покинуть помещение госучреждение отвечает нечленораздельным бормотанием…

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

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.

Animator Ryan Larkin does a visual improvisation to music performed by a popular group presented as sidewalk entertainers. His take-off point is the music, but his own beat is more boisterous than that of the musicians. The illustrations range from convoluted abstractions to caricatures of familiar rituals. Without words.

Various gestures of hand held razorblade, single frame exposures.

A team of researchers for a sinister corporation look for solutions to an unnamed crisis facing humanity. Believing they have found a sanctuary for human survival, in a remote location off the coast of Singapore, they are beset by psychological turmoil caused by plants that defend themselves against the corporation’s goal to exploit every natural resource for human benefit.

Single frame exposures of words.

Кто не мечтал переснять финал любимого фильма? Спасти героя “Титаника” или “Железного человека”? Ким стал для этого режиссёром. Теперь его единственная цель – протащить свою безумную концовку через производственный ад. А для этого придётся обмануть всех: от актёров и продюсеров до киношной мафии, умеющей превращать талантливых режиссёров в неопытных каскадёров...

The motif of this movie is an introduction manual for filming sent to an absolute beginner by the processing laboratory. For me, the cause of failure in filmmaking, explained by the manual, was the very important technical skill of making film images. It’s like coming across unknown delicious tastes when I don’t follow the recipe.

Early Abstractions is a collection of seven short animated films created by Harry Everett Smith between 1939 and 1956. Each film is between two and six minutes long, and is named according to the chronological order in which it was made. The collection includes Numbers 1–5, 7, and 10, while the missing Numbers 6, 8, and 9 are presumed to have been lost.
