Riccardo IACONO : Letters | Experimental film | super 8, 16mm, 35mm | color | 00:03:19 | Scotland / UK | 2000



A poem on light, on speed and memory. "Letters" is the result of a strict exploration of devices qualities and of the illusion power of painting, film and light. A assembly of time and space that, by a color, substances and forms transformation, recreates the visual experience fragmentation. Inspired by William Burroughs, Georges Bataille, Gaston Bachelard and Paul Virilo's writings, Riccardo IACONO studied painting at Glasgow School Art and electronic image at Duncan of Jordan College of Art. His works cover a range from abstract animation to live poetry, and performances in front of a camera or video installations.

Reynold REYNOLDS, Patrick JOLLEY : Burn Experimental film | 35mm | color | 00:10:00 | | USA Ireland | 2002



While a house is burning, its habitants focus all their attention on sentimental problems. Where a great number of literature and cinematographic contemporary works weight down on the family household dysfunctions, Reynold REYNOLDS and Patrick JOLLEY focus on the house image as an abnormal and curious inside. Their experimental films include themselves in absurd art continuity as did the avant-garde (Dada, surrealists…) Even if the domestic household is depicted as a worrisome place, even dangerous, we can find in those films a surprising black humor complementary element.
