Bird in Yellow

History as immersion and dispersion in the fragments of the past, a visionary journey accompanied by the voice of Patty Pravo. Presented at the Taormina Festival '97.

A journey to an unknown star, a children's theatre play, an untalented writer and the fear of becoming the worst version of oneself. A mixture of live-action footage and animated scenes. A stream of (un)conscious stereotypes.

Joey works as a waiter for a hedonistic community of summer holiday makers in a small Mediterranean paradise. It is unclear if their exaggerated behaviors are due to the fact that the summer is coming to an end or if its just the last of their summers.

A bartender takes on the physical form of her imagined alter egos.

Two souls: One seeks to know her life's true essence and the other is haunted by foreign sights of himself, as they both are influenced by an existence beyond human realm—whom continually oversees them across eras, trapping them in a game of time and the unknown.

A chronicle of the lives of a couple and the gradual dissolution of their relationship.

Experimental short movie mostly made of still photos, following a strange woman looking for the truth behind a high school girl's death.

In this black comedy crime epic, eighth grader Tommy Uris is pushed into a teenage drug dealing business run by his two classmates Frank Newton and Patrick Reynolds after walking in on a drug deal between them.

Experimental short movie mostly made of still photos. An old assassin lives on a yacht, in a port city. One day, the sister of a woman he killed appears.

A young woman goes on a cathartic journey through memory and imagination inspired by the performers at an open mic.

A conversation Harper has with herself in her own head, interjected with the moments in which she is recalling. Some sort of event sent her into an existential state of mind, where she can't help but think about who she is, and how much control she really has over her life.

During Childbirth, a mother is told the child is stillborn, and she struggles to finish the birth in order to survive.

A children's film about the largest mass suicide of the 20th century reconstructs the 1978 event. The Reverend Jim Jones forced nearly a thousand followers of his People's Temple sect to drink poison in the settlement of Jonestown, Guyana, South America. A third of them were children. Jan Bušta gives sadists, voyeurs, and necrophiliacs one minute to leave the cinema. His self-reflective documentary, which is the result of ten years of time-lapse filming, does not depict dramatic scenes. To the sound of an audio recording from that fateful day, we see a collage of child ghosts preaching about escaping the corruption of the world.

Returning to his hometown one last time, a wayward love rat reignites friendships and reopens old wounds in one self-destructive weekend.

The last person on Earth revisits their memories as they wander a lonely world

The why is an experiential meditation on death, on loves lost, the duality of mind, and ultimately the nature of attachment and memory turned obsession.

The first step is taken inward and in silence.

Collective experimental film by Team 8mm TENGOKU.
