Blutrausch – Bloodlust - Thorsten Fleisch, 4:15,
16mm
Reminiscent of Stan Brakhage’s classic experimental film, Mothlight
(in which pieces of moth were affixed to clear film leader), Bloodlust
is an attempt to constitute a human/machine dialogue. It shows the filmmaker’s
blood as seen/heard with the eyes/ears of the machine, which in actuality
is a film projector with optical sound. The filmmaker affixed his own
blood onto transparent film leader by cutting into the flesh and then
pressing the film leader onto the wound, and by dripping fresh and clotted
blood from a syringe onto the film leader.

Clip (4000f.) - Robert Todd, 3:10, 16mm
A sequence of 10 images presented in 10 groups of 400 alternating
frames. The primary image of a bird is gradually disfigured by the successive
introduction of competing imagery, yet the overall field seems to have
it’s own life.

Jon's Point, LA - Jack Beck & Nick Scherzinger,
3:30, video
Shot one summer night from a high lookout point above Laurel Canyon, the
subject matter of Jon’s Point is simply and wholly Los Angeles, in
all its glory. "A group of rowdy teens joined me and questioned what
I was shooting, and why I was shaking my camera so much. I couldn’t
then supply a sufficient explanation. I’ve later been asked if the
imagery is a visual representation of the Hollywood lifestyle. Sure, earthquakes
and all."

The Peritoneal Surfaces Are Smooth and Glistening -
Walker Allen, 11:00, 16mm & Super8 (shown on video)
The filmmaker describes it as "A largely incoherent experimental
mish-mash. You could say it’s about cats. But I wouldn’t".
In actuality, it’s an impressive display of audio & visual editing,
and yes, there are cats in it. If only we could pass out headphones to
everyone in the audience so that you could truly experience the stereo
audio the way it’s meant to be heard.
