  • fagtactics

    “fagtactics” is an homage to Barbara Hammer’s splendid and sexy “Dyketactics” and begs the question: so what ARE those faggots doing on the train tracks? “‘fagtactics’—-the world awaits this funny, zealous, totally irresponsible boys in and out of briefs—come and delight in this irreverent salutation to my 1974 lesbian commercial, ‘Dyketactics!’” – Barbara Hammer

  • Believe

    Using photo-booth animation, two girls try to put together a patchy faith.

  • I Think I’m Coming Down with Something

    Getting, giving, getting, giving… Getting crabs doesn’t make you a bad person, it just means you were unlucky.

  • Yin Yin/Jade Love

    “Yin Yin/Jade Love” is a documentary about a granddaughter’s discovery of her grandmother after she has died. The film simultaneously explores the emotional impact of the filmmaker’s last visit with her grandmother, her death, what was subsequently discovered about her extraordinary life, and childhood memories surrounding her and her home. The narration, by the filmmaker, is supported by past (VHS, 8mm, historical stills), present (16mm) and recreated (Super 8) images that are woven together creating a rich, densely layered, reflective collage. “Yin Yin/Jade Love” hopes to capture a portrait of the filmmaker’s Yin Yin and convey insight into the experience…

  • Lamentations: A Monument to the Dead World Part 1: The Dream of the Last Historian

    Like Ezekiel’s vision in the valley of the dry bones, a typos of a new beginning. In among all the feelings of loss and deprivation there occur intimations of final culbute général, of the dissolution of time, of a now that vanishes between the no long and the not yet. A “meditation that deals with the state of human consciousness in the postmodern world….a truly monumental film.” – Katie Russell “Transcends conventional form in an accessible, exciting shape that is likely to change the way all of us see movies.” – Robert Haller

  • Lamentations: A Monument to the Dead World Part 2: The Sublime Calculation

    The antitype. Towards origins. Finding the beginning in the end. In the end – in that tremendous Vulgate phrase – ludens in orbe terrarum.

  • Consolations (Love Is an Art of Time) Part 1: The Fugitive Gods

    The absence of knowledge of the Good is madness. Still, in our age, Being manifests itself only in the mode of absence. “It is a time of the gods that have fled and the god that is to come. It is a time of need, because it lies under a double lack and a double Not: the No more of the gods that have fled and the Not yet of the god that is coming” (Heidegger).

  • Consolations (Love Is an Art of Time) Part 2: The Lighted Clearing

    What is given us and draws from us our loving is Goodness itself.

  • Cartouche

    A nameplate on a funery monument; a container for explosive powder (cartridge); an inscription of the filmmaker’s name; a touch. “Cartouche” is an attempted elegy, a mnemotechic for a friend who died. Still obsessed with naming and attendant concerns.

  • Consolations (Love Is an Art of Time) Part 3: The Body and the World

    Very much inspired by the statement I consider belongs among the greatest expressions of contemporary religious faith, Simone Weil’s “Faith is the experience that the intelligence is enlightened by love.” (RBE)
