Over Double Horizon (SCR/DIR Nataa Prosenc Stearns, SLOVENIA, 2023. 1:01.) Over Double Horizon (SCR/DIR Nataa Prosenc Stearns, SLOVENIA, 2023. 1:01.) Created during a residency at the City of Santa Monica Camera Obscura Lab in a studio with giant glass windows overlooking the ocean. The non-stop presence of the horizon with its infinite varieties inspired her to start recording it every day. The Horizons are part of the ongoing Haiku Videos series, which originates in daily unstaged recordings. Like in Haiku poetry, Haiku videos are based on directly observed everyday occurrences and created spontaneously, when a real-life circumstance gives rise to an idea. Like scientific research, the outcome of this process is not yet known. It is being articulated during the act of artistic creation.
The Stream XIII (SCR/DIR Hiroya Sakurai. JAPAN, 2024, color, experimental. 5:21.) The Stream XIII (SCR/DIR Hiroya Sakurai. JAPAN, 2024, color, experimental. 5:21.) This is segment thirteen in my series "The Stream, in which I express the transformation of landscapes from interactions between humans and nature, shot on reclaimed land near Kyoto. In the 16th century, samurai and feudal overlord Toyotomi Hiyedoshi, known as the Second Unifier of Japan, built a castle on a nearby mountain to view the shallow lake that stood here 80 years ago. I focus on the wind streaming through corn and reed fields cultivated by humans. For sound effects, I use a wind chime consisting of an iron bell with a weight hanging from a string inside. When the wind blows, the pressure makes the weight ring. This sound and the rippling of the fields convey the winds invisible presence.
Surviving the Uncertainty (SCR/DIR Vibol Sungkriem, USA, 2024, 48:00. Documentary.) Surviving the Uncertainty (SCR/DIR Vibol Sungkriem, USA, 2024, 48:00. Documentary.) After forty years, Bronx-based filmmaker Vibol Sungkriem returns to his homeland of Cambodia in 2024 forty years after he and his family fled the killing fields to relocate in what was at that time the largest Cambodian emigré community in the United States, in the Fordham district of The Bronx. A glimpse into the life of farmers in Battambang, a story of survival in an uncertain future.
