the waves" leads the viewer to three different places: a familial
swimming pool, sea and literature bottoms. Angola's invasion by South
Africa images in 1984 are interrupted with some enamel cups images and
books underwater. Using abstraction and metaphor, the video follows a
narrative structure, dealing about war and colonization. Gavin YOUNGE

Robbie LAND: Oil Derric
Experimental film | super 8 | color | 00:06:00 |
USA | 2001
"Oil Derric" is a package of memories of events in my thirties
that periodically dropped in my mind and correspond to my current life
style. The images that come and go in the movie are cinematic attempts
that lead those thoughts to the screened medium. I have been lured by
the movie experience that makes its capacity to employ various means evoking
concerns I want to hand on in my projections. My work has been screened
in many exhibitions and festivals in Europe and America. I live currently
in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Takeshi KUSHIDA: Flow
Experimental film | dv | color and B&W | 0:02:30
| Japan / UK, Japan | 2003
This is an experimental video that explores relationships between things
that can be seen and those that cannot. There is nothing on the screen
when the video starts but it progressively fills up with dark things.
Those dark things reveal themselves as the video progresses along. The
link between diegetic and non-diegetic is also explored. Non diegetic
sounds take part in the atmosphere setting and the film tempo. Diegetic
sounds helps to define things that we see on the screen. Takeshi KUSHIDA
is born in Osaka, Japan in 1982. He studies animated experimental image
at the Kent Institute of Art and Design since 2002. His experimental films
were screened in video and films festivals. His second experimental film,
FLOW, received the first prize at the Rencontres Audiovisuelles of Lille
in 2004. His films were screened at the International Art Film Festival
of Trencianske Teplice (Slovakia), at the Asolo Art Film Festival (Italia),
at Split Film Festival (Croatia), at the COURTisanes (Belgium), at the
Up and Coming Festival in Hanovre (Germany), at the Aquapolis International
Short Film Festival in Hiroshima (Japan), at the No Budget Film Festival
(Austria) and won the special Prize at Nakajima Stadium (Japan).
Reynold REYNOLDS, Patrick JOLLEY: Burn
Experimental film | 35mm | color | 00:10:00 | conception,
image, editing: Reynold Reynolds, Patrick Jolley | 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.
