Autumn adventurers unite! "Leaf Peeper" takes you on a frantic frolic of Fall foliage until your eyes pop out. Shot on Super 8 in single frames with pixilation, puppet stop motion, frenetic pans, and plenty of plaid, this very short short film packs every second with as many picturesque and picaresque frames as possible, turning leaf peeping into equal parts immersion therapy and extreme sport to capture the sublime bliss of a lovely day out and about.

12 Little Things. You only have to do 12 Little Things to bring back the bird. In this movie I’m in search of Furry as a ritual in times of bland and blank AI-optimization. The ritual is missing when the AI skips all steps. Furry offers so many rituals – so many steps. It’s really cult-like and that is the importance for humans in a post-post-(…)-digtale landscape: We need a cult to survive and escape the hyper-dominance of companies seeping into the everyday digital immersion of life, leaving no space left to go, while their AI-systems are helping right-wing actors worldwide to spread their poisonous ideologies, destroying any possibilites of a dignified human life on earth and earth itself.

Filmmaker and artist Jack Smith described his own film as a “comedy set in a haunted movie studio.” Flaming Creatures begins humorously enough with several men and women, mostly of indeterminate gender, vamping it up in front of the camera and participating in a mock advertisement for an indelible, heart-shaped brand of lipstick. However, things take a dark, nightmarish turn when a transvestite chases, catches and begins molesting a woman. Soon, all of the titular “creatures” participate in a (mostly clothed) orgy that causes a massive earthquake. After the creatures are killed in the resulting chaos, a vampire dressed like an old Hollywood starlet rises from her coffin to resurrect the dead. All ends happily enough when the now undead creatures dance with each other, even though another orgy and earthquake loom over the end title card.
