No(thing) Staring Back

Beyond all human restraint lies one's lugubrious layers of paint.

1 minute experimental film.

(Some of us) Still run down the same [mental&emotional] streets we revered/reproached/replaced as children.

As a family struggles to survive in rural isolation during the Great Depression, their daughter's secret affair begins a journey into the unknown.

Return to 'burn' only to find out you're already in that urn.

Two men. Friends? Enemies? Lovers? Brothers? One is nothing, success or failure depends on two.

Onward, upward, greener [redder] grasstures.

Shot in the abandoned buildings of Gary, Indiana and the cornfields of Western Illinois, The Twenty-One Lives of Billy the Kid presents a fractured historical narrative without any real protagonist, one in which the titular character goes mostly unseen - Billy the Kid as the always-off-screen assailant, as a ghost’s laugh, as a shadow on the road.

I really hope this is well-received. I really hope there's some sort of reprieve.

Locked away but not away; somewhere nearby but unreachable, a periphery so notfaroff it's always in sight.

Shadows frighten what one oughtn't be gripping (that thing before/hind you).

Rather pointless, rather stilted, fetid; not what we want us going after.

Hiding inside&out, writhing about, taken out&in.

A 'reversal' of Jean-Léon Gérôme's 1872 painting Pollice Verso.

From a small cabin in the mountains of New York, Nina Breeder and Massimilian Breeder begin a journey across the United States. California is just the initial destination, but just as the edge of the surrounding landscape expands, so does their ultimate destination. A contemplation of nature and time along a raw journey in the American landscape.

A psychedelic montage of home movie footage gives way to a silent western story.

Radical recurrences & rancorous requests raze my daze.

Calangros: Um faroeste sobre o terceiro mundo

In the final days of the American Civil War, an emigre Hungarian military officer attempts to map the situation of the enemy. Many veterans of the 1848 War of Independence in Hungary fought on the northern side. Experienced Fiala, Boldogh who struggles with homesickness and the reckless Vereczky all experience their enforced emigration in different ways and news of impending peace elicits different reactions from them all.

How many movies have you seen where at the end the main character wakes up, causing he and the audience to simultaneously realize that everything they witnessed beforehand was "just a dream?" This film takes that principal but instead of deceiving, the story invites you to watch the main characters dream away. As a result, "True Dreams" takes the dream sequence to a whole new level: it lets its audience in on the joke, while they watch the two main characters run around unaware of the reality/fantasy of their surroundings.
