SCREENING PROGRAM | ||||||||||
 Vishnu en Provence 05:50 | 2005 | France Dir & Music: Tristan Mendes France |
|
Timeless, poetic & thought provoking. Human sculpture as unsettling as it is entertaining. "Super/Natural". Selected and commented by The Designers Republic |
|
 Echopraxia 01:29 | 2005 | Hong Kong Dir: Fu Pok Yan |
|
Very simple but inspiring. Impressive use of digital video technology. Selected and commented by Yoshi Sodeoka (c505) | ||||
 Collision 02:30 | 2005 | UK Dir: Max Hattler |
|
As a matter of fact, the digital movie privately produced
cannot help becoming short movie no matter how of the
technology came off.The system requirements of the image
software shows the current state of digital movie. It doesn't
become something useful at all in "Lowest system requirements",
and it begins to move in high spec such as
"Recommended system requirements". Though VJ movement
at year 95 was technically primitive, the image in the
abstract expression was completed enough in one point of
uniting with the sound. The "Collision" on 30 seconds of
2 minutes by Max Hattler attracted attention while there
are some works in lack the balance of the sound and the
image in the perfection. I would think highly of the clear
will to aim at independent film works, not the imitation
of a music clip existing.The creation of the image with
this political work remind me of Japanese respectable
music clip program "Minna no Uta" by NHK, rather than sending
message directly. It also reminds of Japanese traditional
installation of sounds and visual "Fire Works", and many other
things are awaken with the national flag scattering around.
This work was standout in the rousing power of the image. |
|
 Birds 04:02 | 2005 | Japan Dir & Music: Toshiaki Hanzaki |
|
Beautiful hand drawn animation is mixed and layered to create a piece of
work that is familiar yet original. It was nice to see an analog
departure from all of the digital work being done nowadays. The
textures, colors, and overall visual style create a raw short film that
is reminiscent of the days of Terry Gilliam. Selected and commented by Motion Theory | ||||
 Morning of the end 04:20 | 2005 | Japan Dir: Yuji Arai |
|
Like a symbolical poem, Yuji Arai's "Morning of the end" starts with dreary flutters of a fly, deserted lands, harsh winds as keen as razors and a last leaf hung on a tree. But the mellow music leads us right into the last morning of this visionary world, which is ever so dreamy. I can't be sure that what I think would exactly match the director's intention, but I think the director wanted our deserted souls to have a last drop of hope in them, through a naked child's struggle against devastated earth and its end. At the very end, the ringing sound of a girl's bicycle that running across the field brought me out of my own dream. This piece is a perceptive, impressive and beautiful production.

 Mano - Cycle 01:00 | 2005 | France Dir: Lindsay Patrick Music: Yosuke Hayashi |
|
It doesn't have to be deep, to be thought. The sun's out. A little house with some bush. Your hand is on the mouse. Airplanes are cutting up the sky. Clickety-clack. Selected and commented by Fork | ||||
