A SQUEEZE OF THE HAND (shorts) - Chicago Underground Film Festival
ASK THE INSECTS
Steve Reinke
Experimental Video 8:00 2005

It begins with the death of the reader and ends with the death of the author, and in between he stops to muse on rain falling upward, the "useless biodiversity" of insects ("life is mostly decoration"), and signal deconstruction, and beautiful noise, and burning books. His style is abrupt and associative: he jumps and jumps again, producing small, beautiful abysses. Nine micro-essays on animation and death--with many appearances including Goethe, Pink Floyd and Bambi--leading to a final encounter and introduction.

Documentary Video 11:42 2007 World Premiere

The Glassreveals an unsettling underbelly to the world of youth hockey, one in which the parents, not the players are the violent instigators, and the boys themselves are content to play video games or join the army. Suburban life shouldnt be this unpleasant.

HOTEL LIGHTS A.M. SLOW GOLDEN HITS
Myke Adams

This is a music video about misconnections and obsessions.  Myke Adams

REGARDING THE PAIN OF SUSAN SONTAG (NOTES ON CAMP)
Steve Reinke
Experimental Video 4:00 2006 Chicago Premiere

Continues the journey from the final sequence of Ask the Insects. We turn away from the graveyard, enter the schoolyard, approach the old crippled tree spinning and sit under it to draw a little cartoon for the New Yorker, while--through some sort of temporal displacement--New Year's resolutions are being made. This is a rehabilitation of
