Maniac Landscapes
(Matthew Wade, Boise, ID, 7 min)

Rising
(Luca Dipierro, Portland, OR, 4 min)
Rising is an animated animated short film/music video for the album Rising. A Requiem for Father Murphy by Father Murphy
(Avant! Records, Ramp Local, 2018). The narrative of Rising is not a straight forward one. Elementary and delicate dynamics between figures are set in motion (the act of seeing, of witnessing, of touching, of giving and being given to) in a series of tableaux pervaded by sentiments of loss and grief, and by the sense of the unexpected. The video is shot in stop motion, using cut-outs and objects made of old book cloth, paper, fabric, wood, stone, feathers, flowers.
