Songe7mn color & b/w stéréo 2012 Chinaby Dragana ZarevacSensitive collage, combination of disparate elements. Childhood images, cartoons, dreams and realities. Dream of distant memories. Around the feeling of growing.self-productiondistribution : HEURE EXQUISE !clip Passengers1mn32 color stéréo 2012 USAby Brice Bowman"Passengers" begins with two shadows walking potentially not so unlike the two motorcyclists might pass by in Jean Cocteau's Orpheus; before the movie suddenly switches to scenes of passengers on a journey to an unknown destiny, all with strong overtones of haunting emptiness.self-productionself-distributionclip Crop Duster Octet5mn30 color stéréo 2011 USAby Gregg BiermannIn Crop Duster Octet, the iconic “crop duster”sequence from Hitchcock’s North by Northwest in which Cary Grant is repeatedly attacked by a small airplane swooping from the sky is deconstructed into eight horizontal bands, each of which is slightly out of synch with the next. As the scene (and, in particular, Grant’s body) is continuously deconstructed,the patterns of action are refigured and intensified, culminating in a crescendo of convergence. -- Jaimie Baron, LA Filmforumself-productionself-distributionclip Seventeen Point Plan3mn color stéréo 2013 Germanyby Christin BolewskiAfter the Chinese invasion of Tibet the Tibetan government is forced to sign the Seventeen Point Agreement for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet with the People’s Republic of China in 1951. The people of Tibet have not given up hope of somehow driving out their oppressors even after 63 years of occupation.self-productionself-distributionclip Ancora2mn44 color stéréo 2013 USAby Dan NadanerTo surface, to see, and to submerge again. Under a wave there can be a moment of not knowing which way is up. The fluidity of movement and the fluidity of video are each metaphors for the organic center of being.self-productionself-distributionclip Sinecdoquanon7mn29 color stéréo 2011 Spainby Santiago ParresI escape. I bend my entrails on suicidal Sundays. Undoing my diary of numbered hours, I look through the privileges I had yesterday. I am free to be free... inside white cell. I am dark cabala. I lie on air. self-productionself-distributionclip "Fractured"3mn04 color stéréo 2013 Australiaby David Anthony SantDecisions about what to film within the confines of the specific parameters of the camera frame were determined as much by the decision to avoid filming what lay outside the periphery of that frame. This film explores and reworks perceptions of urban peculiarities found in an Inner Western Sydney landscape through ever shifting camera movements and unconventional editing techniques. Human artifacts in this landscape include such peculiarities as the desolate rooftops of multistorey car parks, street signage, telegraph poles, power lines, empty construction sites and shop front awnings. The re-working is a fractured spatio-temporal continuity that pursues, in the visual and auditory realm, a new mode of expression that seeks to expand cinematic thought.self-productionself-distributionclip 12/12/121mn color & b/w stéréo 2012 Franceby Laurianne Bernard121212 is a very short film on 12 december 2012 on Menilmontant Square for 1 minute at 12.12 am There is no dialogue in this picture, just the memorie noise.self-productionself-distributionclip Muu10mn color stéréo 2012 Canadaby Nelly-Eve RajotteMuu is an 20 min A/V performance and installation revealing images of the mythical American desert, around the theme of disappearance. The project presents itself as a Western film without protagonists. Its inherent quest is interaction with the viewer, who stands in the midst of the videographic and sonic spaces of the piece. The disconcerting mood of the soundtrack places the viewer in an ambiguous space, creating a tension within the video component and expressing vastness and emptiness.
MUU has been presented at :
Festival Sight and Sound / Son et Vue, Montréal, May 2011
Action Art Actuel, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, June 2011

Muu can be presented as a performance, an installation or a video.
self-productiondistribution : Perte de signalclip Castaway14mn color stéréo 2012 Canadaby Isabelle HayeurCastaway was filmed in the murky waters of Witte’s Marine Salvage at Staten Island (New York). The largest boat cemetery on the Eastern Seaboard, this uncanny, desolate place is the final resting place of numerous wrecks of all varieties and several eras: ferries, barges, fishing boats, old steam tugs. Located near New Jersey’s Chemical Coast and the former Fresh Kills landfill, these now toxic shores have seen their share of ecological disasters.
self-productiondistribution : Groupe Intervention Vidéoclip Inability of Being Nude2mn45 color stéréo 2013 Germanyby Wilfried Agricola de CologneThe moving picture takes the classical theme of the “nude” in a contemporary interpretation as a psychological condition.
The viewer is confronted with different levels of movements of baring/exposing, but is disturbing intimacy, the process of emptiness. Emptiness in the sense of meditating.
The nude is a metaphor. The Inability of Being Nude becomes the inability of exposing one’s entire internal to other people, including those who are most intimate and this could be the viewer himself. This inability is in the same way protecting as separating.self-productionself-distributionclip The rose garden3mn26 color stéréo 2013 Spainby Esther Pérez de EulateSummer comes and the rose garden becomes an explosion of beauty and color,
a nice scenario that leaves thousands of digital copies. Is it possible to have certain experiences without trace? Is photography a hobby or a necessity?self-productionself-distributionclip Ese momento particular1mn color stéréo 2012 Spainby Montserrat Rodríguez aka nyx10110"That particular moment". After a long walk around the lake, you feel good. You stop to observe the nature, absorbed ... The reflections of the trees in standing water relaxes you. Still hear the sonority of the urban life in the distance, more or less away. But are abstracted. Your focus is 99% at that particular moment. The wind, the birdsong ... Sounds. It seems that no problem of daily life is important. It is like daydreaming. But there's always something, that 1% that makes you return to reality and move forward ...Noises. It is the rhythm of the life, a flow of sound and visual movement, more or less controlled and orderly. It is sometimes long and sometimes short, you will relax or tense.Sometimes altered abruptly and surprises you. Interrelated whole, nature and civilization. The life filled with these particular moments, at your own pace.self-productionself-distributionclip rotation3mn07 color & b/w stéréo 2013 Indiaby Aditi KulkarniIt’s an video projecting parallel momentum and relative dimensions co-existing in between space-time model.self-productionself-distributionclip Culture, This period is considered4mn09 color & b/w stéréo 2012 USAby Brice Bowman"Culture, This Period is Considered" is about culture deprivation through inept city management producing stupid communities that consequently don't know the difference while living their lives in ghost towns of what could have been.self-productionself-distributionclip
