Kids Praise! 5: Psalty's Camping Adventure

Kids Praise! 5: Psalty's Camping Adventure

1985 • 58 min
In Kids Praise! 5 PSALTY'S CAMPING ADVENTURE, kids learn about solving problems and facing challenges. The story is an allegory. As the kids climb a mountain and encounter various troubles along the way we learn to let God be our strength and put our Whole hearts into what we do (as Unto the Lord). We discover that our limitations can be an opportunity for God to be glorified through our weakness. We also learn the valuable lesson that we solve problems and face challenges one step at a time...with Jesus by our side." We pray that you would encourage your children to apply these truths in their everyday lives. Watch them grow as you help them discover their God-given potential...and learn to "glow" and give the glory all to God.

1985 • 17 min • United States of America
In the work two monitors are displayed at head height on pedestals. The head and shoulders of a young black man appear on one; on the other is an older white woman. They both speak the same sequence of a hundred phrases five times, beginning in a flat neutral tone, and becoming increasingly animated and intense until by the fifth recitation they appear very angry. Their techniques of delivery are quite different, and result in a slippage of time, so that played on a continuous loop, the two tapes become out of sequence.

Falling. Desert. Syn

1985 • 15 min • France
In "Falling. Desert. Syn" there is the body of repetition—not of tautology but of smooth resurrection; a body dying and being resurrected in a dance without suffering. A body of the desert, which is not deserted, but instead possessed by a force of attraction towards the sky, a force as strong as the one towards the earth. A body for the stars, the same one which plunges into the underworlds.

Wind. 1′40″

Wind. 1′40″

1985 • 2 min • Japan
Impressionistic silent short film (also known as ‘Kaze. Ippun yonjûbyô’) created by 17-year-old high school student Shinozuka Tsutomu. The animation, which won the Debut Prize at the inaugural Hiroshima International Animation Festival in 1985, shows a group of samurai racing at breathtaking speed across golden meadows. The film stands out for its visceral sense of motion and extraordinary dynamism, as has been confirmed by jury member Kawamoto Kihachirō, who noted that you can almost feel the force of the wind. The focus on ‘wind’, speed and warriors elegantly evokes a famous military maxim by Sun Tzu: ‘Your swiftness shall resemble the wind’. It is the first of four tenets of Fūrinkazan (風林火山, lit. ‘Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain’), a legendary Japanese battle standard drawn from Sun Tzu’s ‘The Art of War’. Warriors should also be ‘as calm and orderly as forests, as fierce as fire, and as steadfast as mountains’.
