Film Format: 16mm

  • Beyond Enchantment

    Where all is static motion; where music and light become one; where change and motion become one; and where the end is the beginning. Black-and-white cut-out animation with touches of color. Ladies of the past encounter science and natural phenomena.

  • Dolly Cake

    A story-within-a-story. Dolly is a woman trapped and isolated in a house with her man and friends; their fantasy seems to be about a Russian philosopher, his wife, student and servant. The wife is rescued by a dying vampire. Dolly is advised by her female friends to leave but is actually abused by all. When she almost does leave, the helplessness of her man in his search for the Cheez Whiz stops her. A satire on stereotyped women, men, film and filmmakers in a 20-minute “tragi-comedy.”

  • Bridge Kids

    In the near future there are no adults, a tree house becomes a door to another dimension, and rocks release intuitive powers. Documentary, historiography and mythology collide and transform in a 16mm film showing a world of telepathic children interpreting technologies. A meditation and absurd collage of media, sci-fi cliché, and performance, “Bridge Kids” connects a research documentary on J.B Rhine and the history of ESP/ Parapsychology, with a science fiction drama portraying an adolescent’s connection with the dead.

  • Coda

    This tiny film is a poem which recapitulates many of the ideas presented in the earlier films and serves as a tiny song/verse to remind the viewer of the things that have come before and the things which will continue in the future.

  • On This Day

    This film explores and shares a secret that the filmmaker has kept from everyone in the village.

  • Kalendar

    A short documentary which explores life in a small Ukrainian village.

  • Goodbye

    Incorporating meditations on male sexuality and personal exchanges, “Goodbye” travels through physical memory to reveal the marrow that grows beneath. Placed in a surreal yet pastoral surrounding, “Goodbye” is a letter explored through the journey of agarwood, or jin-koh, a rare oil created by a genus of tree infected with a fungal spore. The piece examines how an intangible object can impress greatly on personal history by relating perfume to memory. Experimenting with the abilities of the Bolex H16 and sound print film stock, this 16mm film was shot and hand-processed at Phil Hoffman’s Independent Imaging Retreat.

  • Don’t Bug Me

    Messy lives. Messy relationship. Messy sock drawers. This short and sweet animation will show you how to tidy it all up in less than one minute.

  • Cinco Minutos (Five Minutes)

    When you spend your entire life next to someone, all the time in the world isn’t enough to say goodbye.

  • Tobacco Shed

    “Tobacco Shed” is a record of the facades of a large agricultural building, housing tobacco-curing ovens. The near-uniform framing, and the relationship of the shots to each other, is determined by the regular forms of the building, and by the intention that the film be a complete record of the building’s outer surfaces. The sound is a single continuous recording made inside the shed from a fixed position. Thus a contrasting relationship between outside and inside is established through a corresponding relationship between image and sound, in such a way that the intrinsic contrast between these two modalities is emphasised.…
