sadescription Pink Party
6mn53   color   sil   2017   France
by Sandrine Deumier
"Something is wrong in the magical space." Pink Party is a mechanical ballet in the era of cyborgs and artificial human behaviors. Composed by 21 scenes where are mixed indistinctly cybernetic chimeras, humanoids and objectified humans with reversible identities and behaviors, Pink Party features a series of artificial prefigurations of humanity.

sadescription 3 peonies
3mn13   color   stereo   2017   USA
by Stephanie Barber
A brief, poetic 16mm film on a simple sculptural action. What becomes apparent is the humor possible in material interactions and the tender and sometimes melodramatic symbolism of cut flowers. What begins as a reverence for natural beauty ends up pointing towards the abstract expressionism and color field work of high modernism which, in many cases eschewed the banality of such ‘natural’ beauty. The collaged soundtrack suggests weightier concerns, gently insistent behind the flatness of the utilitarian sounds of ripping tape.

sadescription Hiatus
5mn21   color & b/w   stereo   2018   USA
by Vivian Ostrovsky
The protagonist of this film is the reclusive, introspective Ukranian - Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector (1920 - 1977). It is based on a single TV interview broadcast only after her death. What she says in the 1977 interview is still very pertinent and corresponds to a feeling of ‘in-betweenness’ which I myself feel today.
production : On the Fly

sadescription L'usine
3mn44   color   dolby stereo   2017   France
by Isabel Pérez del Pulgar
The alternation of schedules and shifts in alternate weeks causes an alteration of the perception of time, meal schedules and sleep. Permanent electrical light in workspaces causes confusion and extranet with respect to timetables and sunlight. The constant noise throughout the day, the lack of communication, repetitive movements, the rhythm of the conveyor belts, the small mobility space, the forced postures, the demands of speed in the execution of the task, the wounds on the hands as a result of the pressure and handling of the knives... all this causes a state of strong stress and anxiety. All the activity is marked by the times from one day to the next in an exact and repetitive way. Succeeding the days in a continuous line divided by invisible weekends. There is a detachment or unfolding of the "I" within a timeless abyss, in which a dance is created, a choreography of self-sufficient women. Life becomes an alienating loop. The rhythm and execution of the film was conceived as the projection of a film, with the idea of creating the perception of an endless loop. The luminous and chromatic changes are differentiating between the external and internal space of L´usine, as well as a retrospection to silent cinema. For the realization of the project I used footages and public domain sounds.

sadescription Godzone
5mn33   color   stereo   2017   New Zealand
by Brit Bunkley
"Godzone” is a colloquial term for New Zealand – shorthand for “God's Own Country”. It was first used in NZ as the title of a poem about New Zealand written by Thomas Bracken in 1890. In this video, industrial architecture (quaint, but ominous in their decay) vie with striking NZ landscape rendered in virtual 3D. Actual footage is combined with the 3D alternate reality of flyovers of Solaris-like islands such as a factory ruin that segues into a clip of a NZ park built during the work programs of the Great Depression - a unique landscape rich in both Ponga fern trees and redwoods, part Jurassic Park and part northern California.
