(flick flight flimsy) Ernest Fenollosa9mn32 color stéréo 2006 USAby Ellen ZweigIn the parks in China, people practice Tai Chi, English and Chinese. Each in his language space is trying to see into the other space. Someone is embroidering the Chinese word "wen", which means language or culture. Machines make marks that look like language. A poet and a sinologist talk about Ernest Fenollosa, whose essay, "The Chinese Written Character as a Medium for Poetry" has been an inspiration to poets and an embarrassment to sinologists.self-productionself-distributionclip Mois5mn40 color stéréo 2007 Franceby Brigitte PerrotoWhen I was a little girl, I used to write letters to myself in the future.self-productionself-distributionclip Vaisseau fantôme11mn color & b/w stéréo 2005 Canadaby Anna Woch & Simone RapisardaThe impossible return of an immigrant to the country of his chilhood.self-productionself-distributionclip Mini-series11mn47 color stéréo 2007 USAby Kara Hearn"Mini-series" is a chain of events drawn from stories, dreams, first-hand experiences, and fantasies. Each scene utilizes the techniques of cinema the simplest possible ways to create narratives that are stripped of everything but the pathos inherent in the medium. The artist worked alone, playing every role and using whatever props and costumes were on hand.self-productionself-distributionclip Let it go4mn15 color stéréo 2007 Franceby Houssam HarfoucheMy body is here, my saoul lives elsewhere... words still unfounded.self-productionself-distributionclip Le Couple1mn15 color stéréo 2006 Franceby Kennedy JAMESVideo work about the notions of time and couple.self-productionself-distributionclip Two thousand walls (a song for jayyous)6mn23 color mono 2006 Belgiumby Peter SnowdonNight. A terrace on a hillside. Children’s voices. A poem. A song. A fragment of time, a moment out of time. Gostly figures, as if struggling to exist, even here, in their own land. Experimental documenrtary, filmede in the West Bank, occupied Palestinian territories.self-productionself-distributionclip A year26mn color stéréo 2006 USAby Mark StreetA tattered diary film. Middle age concerns swirl around me in Brooklyn and follow to North Carolina, and New Orleans (before the storm) and back home again. Video journal entries mix with 35mm abstract film images, sublime and inviting, suggesting and elegy for celluloid. As friends drift away I retreat into myself. Solipsism beckons, and I stave it off, barely. I contemplate my body falling apart, my kids growing up, changes and disappearances.self-productionself-distributionclip
