  • It Only Hurts When I Cry

  • For the Lucky and the Strong

    “For the Lucky and the Strong” synchronizes appropriated YouTube clips from nine young women to create a united chorus singing Bette Midler’s “The Rose.” Evoking a stalker-like quality by design, “For the Lucky and the Strong” makes the viewer complicit as voyeur, along with the masses who fixate on vulnerable young girls. The women stare into their webcams, some self-consciously, in an act of performative bravery and dramatic teenage angst, but they cannot hold the gaze and look away.

  • ON COLOR I: lukrezia

    References the nude subject of Lucretia in the allegorical work by German Renaissance painter Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472 – 1553). The distorted visual is juxtaposed with an orthodox choir of monks and the sound of funeral church bells.

Oscillating colors contrast in an attempt to translate a message that remains untouchable to the blind, and undecipherable to the sighted.

A delightful riff on the imagery of Edgar Degas and Eadweard Muybridge, featuring original music by Bryce Kulak and the Wet Secrets. “Figs in Motion” is a collaboration between Edmonton filmmakers Trevor Anderson and aAron munson which was originally commissioned by the Art Gallery of Alberta.

    Beautifully shot and edited, this tender drama ambitiously tells its story with openly emotional acting and music. Joan is a 40-ish woman in North London, a devout Catholic who looks after her mum with the help of a nurse, Pat. As Joan and Pat become friends, Pat discovers Joan’s love of singing and invites her to join her choir, “The Friends of Dusty.” But it takes Joan awhile to realize that this is a lesbian choir, and as a performance at the Various Voices festival on the Southbank approaches, Joan gets cold feet in more ways than one. – Rich…

  • Variations sur Marilou

    A repetitive experimental animation based on segments of the Serge Gainsbourg’s song of the same name. “VARIATIONS SUR MARILOU” is a meditation on desire, weakness and attraction that pays particular attention to the movements made by bodies, their presence in space and the traces left behind in the frame. French with English subtitles.
