Film Categories: film studies

  • Love Me

    Using only text-on-screen, Love Me distills the emotions of an earlier film, Beating: emotions conflict, confuse and are difficult to reconcile. The texts ‘speak’ unsaid and unsayable thoughts, impolitic or just impolite. They are suppressed exclamations from past injustices and hurts; angers surface which are interrupting, erupting and demanding of attention.

  • Lily In The Grinder

    Kaleidoscopic, operatic, and layered, Lily in the Grinder explores meaning through sex, death, and time. We already are everything we will ever be.

  • The Natural State

    Inspired by the writings and philosophy of U.G. Krishnamurti, The Natural State is a visual essay on why we have only the present and our bodies. Spirituality, fear and consciousness are constructed by the continuity of thought.

  • Steherrennen

    Cyclists race around a velodrome in circles. The images are layered and elide the figures moving in varying directions and at different speeds, giving an effect of movement that propels forward yet remains fixed all at once. “For when you’re running in circles you don’t get far.” —   60th  International Short  Film Festival Oberhausen

  • Arrested Decay

    A film based on a novella of the same name by the filmmaker. A video poem where nations of dilapidated buildings is the focus and the richest peaceful nation lives in substandard housing and has an inadequate food supply.

  • Dear Tree

    A video poem about clear-cutting forestry and its effects on the air we breathe. The film draws parallels between present day and the renaissance.

  • Desert Road

    Sage hangs from a rear-view mirror to impart wisdom while a prayer for peace meets mysticism. All things that are left wild are better left untouched by the fingerprint of Man as he travels to a burning oasis in the desert only to find his vision cleansed as he looks further.

  • Drawing A Blank

    A psychedelic B&E leaves a sketchbook open and results in a lot of questions. A paradoxical sacrifice is made when one is committed to the page. Does one make high art, for the main stream or low brow art?

  • Going Very Steady

    Going Very Steady is a film about the Id, finding one’s identity in a world governed by authority, and society’s Super Ego as it appears as a menacing, marching work force.

  • Motion

    Motion recalls a Kerouac-like adventure. A protagonist out to find love while coming to grips with the male ego as seen through a voyeuristic perspective. Functioning on the fringes of reality as perspectives shift and contort around the filmmaker, who finds solace, a woman, and religion on the journey as well as the feeling that life is fleeting.
