I Might Be There (I Won't)

Radical recurrences & rancorous requests raze my daze.

On the Clickity-clack Express it's clear I'm always under duress, unless I forget.

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

1 minute experimental film.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Calangros: Um faroeste sobre o terceiro mundo

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

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

Arguably Larry Gottheim’s most exuberant experiment in the single-shot, single-roll format (and his first with a soundtrack), HARMONICA trains the camera on a friend improvising a tune in the backseat of a moving car. Held out the window, the harmonica becomes a musical conduit for the wind, while Gottheim's film transforms before our eyes into a playful meditation on wrangling the natural elements into art. - Max Goldberg
