House
DIR BEN RIVERS
EXPERIMENTAL 16MM 5:00 MIN
"The old dark house, where only fragments remain of a once animated domestic history, reoccupied by spooks." - B.R.
The Magician's House
DIR DEBORAH STRATMAN
EXPERIMENTAL 16MM 5:45 MIN
"Sometimes the supernatural lingers plainly in the most ordinary places, secret only in so much as its trace passes unnoticed." - D.S.
1956
DIR JENNY STARK
DOCUMENTARY VIDEO 7:30 MIN
"This is a personal document of Sarah Stark's 70th and last birthday. Her cancer was in remission and she felt really great, so much so that she gave a spirited, Cassavetesesque performance for the camera. She goes through old pictures of her 1956 trip to Greece and gushes candidly about her romantic 'affairs' overseas. The video footage of her secluded, rural life contrasts sharply with found 16mm film footage of her as a young Houston socialite." - J.S.
Smells Like Teen Spirit
DIR JEM COHEN
SHORT SUPER-8 ON VIDEO 7:37 MIN
"Patti Smith asked if I would do a short film to accom- pany the release of her version of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit. As neither of us are fans of the music video format or industry, we approached the project as a short film, with no lip sync, that would simply try to get at the heart of her version of the song." - J.C.
Dirty Pictures
DIR JOHN SMITH
EXPERIMENTAL VIDEO 14:00 MIN
"Moving from one hotel in Bethlehem to another in East Jerusalem, the filmmaker encounters a series of problems involving a ceiling, a video camera and the Israeli occupation of Palestine." - Video Data Bank
Paradise (excerpts from a work-in-progress)
DIR MICHAEL ALMEREYDA
EXPERIMENTAL VIDEO 13:00 MIN
"Brief chronicles of moments between moments, stray talk, fragments of experience. Episodes range from a hunt for fireworks ('Go past the Self-Realization center ') to an inebriated discussion of Napoleon to a blind search for fireflies." - M.A.
Throwing Paint Tins off the Roof
DIR VIBEKE BRYLD
DOCUMENTARY 16MM 20:15 MIN
After WWII, architect Sir Denys Lasdun envisioned East London's Keeling House and Bradley House as an antidote to the isolation of wartime day-to-day life. Lasdun's idea of social housing prized neighborhood and community alongside access and affordabilityin those days neighbors would just stop by for a cup of tea. The two building's fates couldn't have been more different, however. Owned by a private developer, Keeling House is now luxury apartments. Bradley House, on the other hand, deteriorated until it was eventually demolished. "As soon as a place looses its functional meaningas a house nobody can live init opens itself up to our imagination. Because of this the story of Bradley House is just as much a story about the projections of the neighbourhood. And as it turned out, the projections of a displaced community, a tale of the old working class." - V.B.
