Grünspan

1982 • 12 min

"GRÜNSPAN is a film about female sexuality, but it does not develop a program, but tries to capture different, sometimes contradictory attitudes and feelings in their simultaneous existence. On the one hand through the objects in the picture - male statues, a woman approaching, on the other hand, through surface tension in the images, opposing textures, hardness ratios, convex and concave shapes, the color that keeps the film flowing, the objects related to each other, concentrates and loses, and the music is very important which comes from an old American musical and has a narrative dimension. " (Christine Noll Brinckmann)

Dégringolade

1982 • 5 min • France

Dégringolade (TUMBLE) - was produced in the pixilation technique. This process allows alive characters and real objects to achieve absolutely unrealizable movements in reality. Everything becomes possible with the stop motion technique. This film shows an imaginary and frenetic world where it slides, runs, falls, flies, jumps, fidgets, leaps, rolls, bolts, and boozes; it is a wild weird world.

Six months later, in Lille, one of these pictures is thrown at the ground and shot randomly as Joëlle is walking by.

Intento de vuelo fallido

1982 • 1 min • Venezuela

Its production seems like a game: throwing a Super 8 camera, turned on and recording, from what was, at that time, the tallest building in Caracas. The film films the shots of its own accelerated fall, a succession of chromatic shots that cannot be identified either in terms of what is “recorded” in each one (windows, columns, walls, sky or floor) or in its own formal configuration as an image (color, composition, shapes or figures). What is perceived and apprehended is the impotence of vision – of perception – to distinguish this extreme and exhausting mobility, this vertigo of “free fall.”
