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.
Beyond all human restraint lies one's lugubrious layers of paint.
Rather pointless, rather stilted, fetid; not what we want us going after.
Hiding inside&out, writhing about, taken out&in.
I really hope this is well-received. I really hope there's some sort of reprieve.
On the Clickity-clack Express it's clear I'm always under duress, unless I forget.
Onward, upward, greener [redder] grasstures.
Radical recurrences & rancorous requests raze my daze.
Return to 'burn' only to find out you're already in that urn.
(Some of us) Still run down the same [mental&emotional] streets we revered/reproached/replaced as children.
Locked away but not away; somewhere nearby but unreachable, a periphery so notfaroff it's always in sight.
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.
Two men. Friends? Enemies? Lovers? Brothers? One is nothing, success or failure depends on two.
A psychedelic montage of home movie footage gives way to a silent western story.
An attempt to transform a Roman Western into a Greek tragedy. The hero of Instructions for a Light and Sound Machine is easy to identify. Walking down the street unknowingly, he suddenly realizes that he is not only subject to the gruesome moods of several spectators but also at the mercy of the filmmaker.
As a family struggles to survive in rural isolation during the Great Depression, their daughter's secret affair begins a journey into the unknown.
Calangros: Um faroeste sobre o terceiro mundo
1 minute experimental film.
A 'reversal' of Jean-Léon Gérôme's 1872 painting Pollice Verso.
“A deadpan video art reworking of 1982's highest-grossing movie, EXTRA TERRESTRIAL peels away layers of sentimental narrative goo from its source, exposing a hard core of anxiety, loneliness and dread. Shifting the focus from character to interior, Ben Russell and Rhyne Piggott mine the landscape of a beige-carpeted ranch style house for new insights into the architecture of suburban alienation.” - Anne Reecer, Cinematexas
