Dangerous Supplement

2005 • 15 min • South Korea

Dangerous Supplement is an incomplete index for the memory, a substitute for a vision that is yet to be born.' The film begins with a damaged landscape, an invisible landscape. All the images/places are metaphorically flawed or incomplete, being lost as fast as you can see them. They tip heavenwards or they fall to earth. (Mark LaPore)

From Science to God: Exploring the Mystery of Consciousness

2005 • 23 min

"How is it that something as unconscious as the matter of the brain ever gives rise to something as immaterial as an experience?" Russell, a prominent thinker in the fields of consciousness and science, asserts that science cannot explain the fact that humans are conscious. This capacity for inner experience he calls "the great mystery."

Pan of the Landscape

2005 • 11 min • Netherlands

Christopher Becks’s Pan of the Landscape uses gorgeous Brakhage-like painting on film to un-Brakhage-like ends: spectacular skies combine with the slow, mechanical movement of a silhouetted form to produce a biting melancholy, as if Becks is mourning the film’s removal from the world it glimpses.

Terra Firma

2005 • 7 min

"Terra Firma" uses 35mm film material that I had laboriously* mastered from a 1908 nitrate print of a " Trip Down Market Street", incorporated with other found images of San Francisco’s built environment before the 1906 disaster. Other images have been gathered from archival photographic materials from numerous vantage points depicting the built space of early San Francisco. Some images that have been re-worked are panoramic in scope, and comprised of pans of large format still images taken by Edweard Muybridge in 1878.

Air Force

2005 • 7 min

The color field painting which the artist serves as a reference for her work, goes down to the organization of the filmic surface; the photographic remainders appear as shadowy motives driven to the limits of extinction; the representational element works itself under great efforts through colour layers and colour modulations into the foreground. This continuous reorganization and restructuring is a crucial part of the image universe presented by Karø Goldt. - Reinhard Braun

Brice Dellsperger's reprise of Baillie Walsh's Massive Attack Be Thankful For What You've Got

Nausea

2005 • 55 min

Nausea is a synthesis of text and image that draws inspiration from Impressionism, On Kawara, Barnett Newman and the existential diary of Jean-Paul Sartre from which it adopts its title. The video footage is a journal of observations shot entirely on a mobile phone. Crudely low resolution, it retains a fuzzy warmth and familiarity rather than the cold and impersonal qualities of much digital technology, challenging a ‘certain end-point in cinema, wherein we only ever imagine and receive mediated images.’

Detour followed by Jovan from Foula

2005 • 30 min

“It was on Foula, the furthest island from the main island [Shetland Isles], that we ran into Jovan. Or rather he ran into us, coming off the ferry late in the day. The mist was thick and we looked worn-out. He took us under his wing and offered to show us around the island the following day. There is a long sequence shot of the passing scenery, taken from inside his car. Driving along the only road, Jovan pointed out to Vincent the island’s disarray: abandoned cars and tractors, heaps of rusting scrap metal. Then on another island, Papa Stour, with a view of Foula, we filmed what was to become the first part of the film.”
