Re'Clame
A silent city symphony, projected from gorgeous black and white 16mm film. Materia vibrante lets the resonating frequencies of the urban environment create the inaudible hum that keeps the engines of society running, absent of the inhabitants running around like little ants toiling away.

A homeless woman, a loitering housekeeper, a man who lost his key and the children hiding in the suitcase-hiding, seeking and chasing in the castle. "I'm going to meet the king. If you don't stay in the room and run out. Beasts will eat you up." In the empty castle. A loitering housekeeper looking for the body day and night. Woman chasing the king who lost the key. The kids who playing hide and seek in order to find the mother, regardless beasts outside and walk into deeper darkness.
The virtual world generated by the real world of the twentieth century is growing exponentially, like an organism in a Petri dish. Crossing its own borders in to new zones, it absorbs its founders and mutates in to something absolutely new. In this new world real wars look like a game on americasarmy.com. Prison torture appears more like the sadistic exercises of modern-day valkyries. Technologies and materials transform the artificial environment in to a fantasy landscape of a new epoch. This paradise is a mutated world where time is frozen and the past is neighbor to the future.
An experimental dance film that explores how we change ourselves, altering our appearance and behaviour in order to please other people and the emotional and mental impact that has on us.
A disease carried by common cockroaches is killing Manhattan children. In an effort to stop the epidemic an entomologist, Susan Tyler, creates a mutant breed of insect that secretes a fluid to kill the roaches. This mutant breed was engineered to die after one generation, but three years later Susan finds out that the species has survived and evolved into a large, gruesome monster that can mimic human form.
This experimental film was created via one pass through the camera without special visual effects. Each frame of the film was taken at night via a long time-lapse ("time-exposure") which created the actual images, and each frame of film was taken after a period of time from the previous frame, creating the movement of the images. What looks like the sun in some shots is actually the moon, over-exposed to allow the capture of the much-dimmer stars in the sky. Longer exposures for each frame can make a night-time shot look like a day-time shot, except that you can still see stars moving in the sky. This film won a CINE Golden Eagle.
