E-Ticket
Simon Liu
13 min., 35mmm > Digital, 2018, Hong Kong/UK/USA

16,000 splices in the making, E-Ticket is a frantic re-cataloging of a personal archive and a rebirth to forgotten images. Views swipe through a trip to India then culminate in a protest of a 2006 WTO summit in Hong Kong. Dante’s Inferno for the streaming age; freedom of movement for the modern cloud.

9 min., Digitial, 2018, Germany/India

The streetscapes of contemporary Indian metros are dominated by products. The typical local shop can be described as a windowless, rectangular box. Filled with products galore up to the ceiling. The product itself serves as the interior design. Shopping galore. Products galore. Profits galore.

Unititled (time)
Julie Murray
15 min., Digital, 2019, USA

Various reels of found 35mm movie film are pulled over a light box under the fixed gaze of video capture. Through veils of apparent motion, the movements of characters can be discerned and their motivations artfully speculated upon. An oblique tribute to Pere Portabella’s Vampir-Cuadecuc, narrative and plot in Untitled (time) are progressively subsumed in switching and swaying abstraction to percussion rhythms crashed out on cymbals.

The Sequence of Years
Ben Balcom
8 min, Digital, 2018, USA/Austria

A feeling of forgetting rendered with first-person camera work, lens play, and image stabilization. I am old where I was born. Everything appears differently now. Perhaps for a moment I am there again, but when I open my there is only this longing for someplace I’ve never been.

Gone Sale
Matt Meindl
5 min., S8mm > Digital, 2018, USA

Faceless forms inhabit the shadow-sprayed remnants of an electronic shopping mall board game. Slumber party capitalism, now a bargain bin of lost dreams.

Watermarks
Sara Suarez
14 min., Digital, 2018, USA

Along the James River in Richmond, Virginia, impressions of a buried world emerge beneath monuments on the surface, questioning how the past is recorded or suppressed.

Mudanza Contemporanea
Teo Guillem
20 min., Digital, 2018, Spain

Armchairs, mattresses, feet, blankets, arms, memories, mops, tubes or plastic dance, twist, fall, fly and break in this emotional choreography in which a man and his army of objects try to defeat a ghost from the past.
