  • Spaghetti 8

    Super 8 gunplay – explosive scratching, amazing stunts and fabulous outfits – experimental artgak at its finest!

  • Sperm Whale

    We are surrounded by impermanence. A series of images: an erect penis being manipulated, a man walking along a desolate beach, another man in repose on his apartment rooftop, and another man at poolside – all subjects seem to be in pursuit of understanding of their environment, and long-term satisfaction is an impossible state to achieve.

  • Death to All Film

    This essay on the passion and predicament of Soviet avant-garde filmmaker Dziga Vertov is constructed with playfully meticulous adherence to the Word of Vertov and the concept of the documentary essay-film. Vertov’s obsession and despair are explored through a montage of diary excerpts and challenging imagery, fully supported by appropriate bibliographical referencing and a comprehensive index.

  • without leave

    “Evans and Fodor use toned and manipulated film stock and disjunctive visual narrative to powerfully convey the sense of movement, urgency and exhilaration in this story of service-men going AWOL.” – Antimatter Festival

  • Twenty Five Short Films in and about Saskatchewan

    We don’t talk much about patriotism here. I’m always torn between supporting idealist notions of a world nation, or non-nation, without borders and the more traditional approach that borders are necessary to protect our property and identity from “outsiders.” Without our national border, the Americans might overwhelm our culture and I would probably not be making this film. Without our provincial borders, nothing would differentiate us from Ontario and we would be overwhelmed by the east. Again, it is unlikely that I would be making this film. Borders protect the weak from the strong, the small from the large, the…

  • Gymnopedies

    The theme is Weightlessness. Objects and characters are cut loose from habitual meanings, also from tensions and gravitational limitations. A lyric Eric Satie track accompanies the film. Such a portrait seems necessary from time to time to remind us that equilibrium and harmony are possible, and that we will not dissolve into a jelly if we allow ourselves to relax into them. A horseman rides through the landscape, through the town, but never arrives anywhere in particular. An acrobat swings on a rope above a canal in Venice, and is content just to swing there. Nothing threatens to disturb them.…

  • Locks Part Two: Dread Execution!

    The gaze – taken into the hands of four women who craft, document and participate in a ritual dread locks removal. This super-low-budget film subtly subverts the hegemonic forms of production by optically printing miniDV, 16mm and Super 8 to hand-processed 16mm.

  • Minuet

    A handmade, minute-made motion picture essay on colour harmonics, visual overtones, and the rhythms of an abstract encounter.

  • Moonlight Sonata

    Animated to the rhythms of Eric Satie’s Gnossienne V. The moon and moonlight are the guiding lights of this visual interpretation, and I have kept the backgrounds in soft greens and blues. Only the cosmic tumbler, whose enigma is emphasized by his red colour, breaks this pattern. Satie’s music simplified and refined the imagery, made it the celestial circus I have always dreamed of. “Moonlight Sonata” begins a new phase in my animation. I am finally getting in touch with the real poetry possible here. All works of art seem to come ready-made with their own sets of rules. And…

  • Marilyn and Media

    Marilyn Monroe, roboticized by copy-protection, is captured and trapped forever by the media and the medium of celluloid.
