sadescription An elegy to our small selves
10mn   color   stereo   2002   USA
by Anita Chang
Calmly but desperately I attempt to link the disappearing animal and human worlds. Interfacing the -disappearing- technologies of Super -8mm and 16mm image projection, with the raw technology of immediacy and reality that is video. Captive images of animals and humans in raw form are juxtaposed and documented in a way that speaks more tothe current identity crises of the human race and ultimately, the fragility of beauty, nature and humanity.

sadescription Contemporaries
4mn30   b/w   stereo   2001   Belgium
by Karen Vanderborght
This clip is made for and inspired by the music of the Lofi Finnish group Kiila. As does the song, the images provoke a naive message "The people who live around you, are your contemporaries". The beginning shows the situation of the spectators (at the cinema, in front of the television, in everyday life)who are watching the actions of people of diverse appearance, before the absent camera. Everything finishes with a childish game between image and music. This video is part of a compilation of clips entitled “Killa-Heartcore-video”, which will be released in the summer of 2002.

sadescription Déjà Loin
4mn58   color   stereo   2001   France
by François Paris
François Paris's images, on the face of it, seem to be a simple succession of images borrowed from an everyday world… We are suddenly plunged into personal feelings : a poetry of colours, a contrast of day and night, absence and presence. Each one of her images is a reminiscence, a known sensation, a journey where we are aware of the initial departure point, but not the destination or arrival. Could it be that the work is to create an opening to elsewhere ? The images of the real, transformed, are they not a trampoline which transports us from the finite to infinite ?

In the end, it's habituelle./ Nothing exceptional./ We eat./ As usual. Repeated gestures, crossing over./ Rhythmic shot./ Counter-shot. In the end, the tone rises./ It's always the same./There's speaking, there's singing./ Celebration. In the end, the bodies get tangled up, get separated./ In the end, obviously, we embrace.

sadescription Images
3mn50   b/w   mono   2001   France
by Pierre-Yves Cruaud
Two points of view of the same series of shots, are presented through two different frames. Sculptures come to life, while humane face tries to fit in between them. The research of a true point of view interrogates the images of this video. A vibratory movement, with different rhythms, crosses the two screens and provokes a sparkling of the images. By exploring different levels of visibility, an interrogation about the persistence of vision is constructed. Are we nearer to the images or to their deletion.

3mn   color   mono   2000   France
by Pierre-Yves Cruaud
The private life of several individuals is unveiled before surveillance cameras installed in the rooms that they have borrowed. The film interrogates the role of a calera which has the assigned function of a witness. The eye of the camera captures a number of individuals who become less and less important as it progrsses along its frontal advance... the objective of the camera is to isolate one of the hotels inhabitants, but its gesture will not be very much appreciated.

sadescription Light Study No. 1 : "Pitch"
5mn30   color   mono   2001   Australia
by Kirsten Packham
I had been listening to glitch music, and I liked the way that every particle of the sound had attention paid to it, had sigifiance - I wanted to try to do the same thing in the video track. When using the camera, I was drawn to luminosity - to me light has qualities very similar to pitch and tonality of sound and I wanted to make a piece which depicted this correlation... I manipulate the material that has more to do with the final work than the source of the sonic or visual material.

sadescription sans titre (L.H.-Sierre)
16mn   color   stereo   2001   France
by Isabelle Pichat
"Two countries, two towns, a body projected into two universes... We cross a frontier, we discover a new territory... don't create a rupture because the Town is a space in oneself, a concept that we are invited to reinvent Organ's become roads, the paths to a brain emitter / transmitter of emotions that redesign intimacy. It is no longer the body which inhabits the space but the space which inhabits the body : fusion.This One, perfect number... assembles the spaces... We talk about presence." Solène Bertrand
