Two instants separated by 99 days conflict with each other.
LIFE
Melancholy of the Outer Limits
Short experimental film by Ernesto Baca
Two children are directed by a cinemaker.
Standing near the reptile section in a zoo we can learn a lot about the animals on both sides of the separating glass.
Study of posters and graffiti on the walls of Paris, using ellipses, brief shots and quick camera movements. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with iotaCenter and National Film Preservation Foundation in 2000.
Vigília Noturna
"When Mollie's routine between a real and surreal gets interrupted by an uncalled visitor, the line between reality and dream blurs."
Plaga Alada
Dynamite, tête de poisson!
Two people attempt to connect over a great distance.
Part one starts with an overview of the prehistory of moving images in the 19th Century: Zoetrope, Phenakistiscope, Chronophotagraphy etc. until the invention of the Cinematograph and Kinetograph/Kinetoscope. The second part will be devoted to the Brothers Lumiere following 20 of their amazing documentaries between 1895 to 1905. The third part is a new interpretation of A TRIP DOWN MARKET STREET, San Francisco 1906.
A ritual of grids, reflections and chasms; a complete state of entropy; a space that devours itself; a vertigo that destroys the gravity of the Earth; a trap that captures us inside the voids of the screen of light: «That blank arena wherein converge at once the hundred spaces» (Hollis Frampton).
The sun’s energy circulates throughout the earth, feeding the cycle of life. Everything is connected in a natural loop, which repeats, like the circular discs of magical optical toys. This perfectly balanced rhythm is disrupted by human excess, throwing the cycle out of orbit and temporarily stopping the circulation of energy in nature.
"It's all coming out of Mexico. Surreal gets so real. And invader from England, France or Spain found the taste of cactus cocktail. That makes this movie sweat, ha?" (Stom Sogo)
The encounter of a wound, a body and a city results in the alteration of the whole.
