sadescription for w.g. sebald (travel without travel)
4mn39   color   sil   2011   USA
by Stephanie Barber
A collection of titles from a honeymoon trip around the world in the early 1950's. The poetics of the words assert themselves, diminish the images which are tethered, physically and as regards our understanding of place, to the names of the sights. The entirety becomes a moving and concrete poem.

sadescription [ Semaphore ]
2mn54   color   stéréo   2012   France
by Gilivanka Kedzior & Barbara Friedman
« Sometimes, when everywhere around darkness smothers the last breaths by its density, images come to us. Fleeting visions that play with our reason, as many isolated beacons ; enigmatic signals revealing another space-time, lost, forgotten, hidden. Troubled by the masquerade of screen memories, voices are raised ; familial and familiar exchanges take place again, for a moment, underlining the obviousness of the unspoken. Yet I had erased the traces of that other story. »

sadescription Living Things
13mn35   color & b/w   stéréo   2013   USA
by Jeremy Newman
"Living Things" critiques the depiction of gender and science in Cold War era B-movies. In these films, women are victimized as science goes horribly awry. Yet, representational violence is veiled by absurdity. This experimental video highlights the cultural anxieties, shifting gender roles and scientific progress, which fostered these representations.

sadescription Davanti
5mn25   color   stéréo   2013   Italy
by Salvatore Insana
In front of my eyes there are your faces, in front of my lens there are your activities, in front of my soul there are your monsters. Looking out the window with tremble and fear, capturing the neighbours' external interface. But that's not a peep inside, is a dwelling on what comes out.

5mn37   color   stéréo   2013   Croatia
by Karlo Vranjes
"Against Mental Castration" catch thirst for love and eroticism in the visual arts. This is a tribute to the men and women who have dedicated their professional lives to create a free and open society. The video is a claim against censorship and politics in the creative process. Eroticism against social enslavement.

sadescription Give and Take no. 06
3mn38   color   stéréo   2012   USA
by Joy Whalen
Here, we witness the honest, nearly sentimental, grappling’s with the ethereal nature of love and it’s loss as the subject in give&take no.06 mourns her own to the point of slipping into abstraction. This work handles a moment where in spite of best efforts a love flickers out…as it sometimes is known to do.

sadescription broken time
1mn   color & b/w   dolby stéréo   2011   Austria
by Johannes Gierlinger
Like Jeanne d'Arc in front of the scaffold, clueless. Finally, a fight, they come to get her, the redeeming handshake. Out of the hands, on the hands, that’s how you can read broken time: because something is eliminated, combed, scratched and lovely caressed. Perhaps the velvet glove is the connecting through time. For an alliance it´s taken off. Something is sealed: memory and dream play off against each other, the best fighter will be adopted. And ultimately it burns to ashes, the famous story, it was all a dream. Maybe she was the boy that she kissed, at least she resembles him. The image section and traces on the material are covering the secret. Serious men come up to exterminate her. "Deform Your Dreams" as the only liberation. (Text: Jan Zischka)

sadescription Disturbdance
3mn25   color   stéréo   2012   United Kingdom
by Guli Silberstein
A poetic video work: a young woman is blocking two armed soldiers from firing at protesters in a Palestinian village. The image is digitally processed and slowed down. The soundtrack is replaced with lyrical music. The scene is turned to a peculiar romantic dance, highlighting the magical and rare human connection formed for a brief moment, captured and transmitted by digital technology. The work deconstructs oppressors-protesters conflict, crystallising it to one on one poetic encounter, and at the same time offers an alternative in the young woman's action.
