  • The Wind Probably

    A human is observing the deserted streets of his hometown on the edge of the Apocalypse. The world is on the verge of being absorbed by the Black Hole. Familiar places in the ruins are difficult to recognize and it’s hard to find the clues to understand is it a reality or dream. The sensation of “not quite real” is the sensation experienced during a catastrophe. In a person’s attempts to orientate the disintegrating reality, the only one with whom he can discuss what is happening is artificial intelligence.

  • Nihelious

    The work “Nihelious” is created from videos originally intended for the design of wedding movies. The angels, hearts, roses are all 3D computer graphics created in the early 2000s that were used as decoration, additional environments for commissioned wedding videos to enhance their aesthetics. The resulting video is the culmination of half a year of media archaeology, digging up and reviewing hundreds of gigabytes of footage. This is how the secondary characters of wedding DVDs came to the foreground and gained independence from their decorative function. And at this point the cute little angels began to show signs of monstrosity.

  • Adieu Ugarit

    In 2012, Mohamad had witnessed his best friend gunned down by an armed militia on the outskirts of Damascus, Syria; the blood spilled into the lake contaminated his memory. Ten years later, the reflections on the Laurentian waters bring back Mohamad’s trauma. I asked him if he’d like to dig out the memories, to repair the pain by retreating for a few days into the most distressing calm possible for him. He tells us about death, immigration and anger. We wonder how and why we should tell this story.

  • Two or Three Saprophytes

    Two or Three Saprophytes is a video essay that traces a speculative history of the industrial revolution, its ecological backdrop, and its intellectual legacy of growth-based thinking. Breaking from strictly didactic or documentary forms, the film defracts its historical research through a hallucinatory poetic lens, mixing critique and fantasy to frame the interconnected histories of mushrooms, trees, coal, chemicals, machines, and capitalists as a kind of ecological ghost story. Visual and textual motifs of circles, spirals, hexagons, and “revolutions” punctuate the film, sketching associations and contrasts between historical movements, economic patterns, rotational pistons, chemical diagrams, and ecological balance. Posing a…

  • Pocket Call

    Isolated in an old house, a man sees his daily life merge with that of a female presence that gradually invades his space. Trapped within his own home, he must confront this strangely familiar ghost.

  • Paris Model

    Paris Model uses a combination of 16mm found footage and experimental film manipulation techniques to create a macabre and haunting image, asking the audience to contemplate mortality and the temporality of the flesh. The ghostly figure of the model fades in and out of recognition, skin bubbling and dissipating, adding a disturbing yet exciting element to the striptease being performed for the viewer. In addition, the film also seeks to distort and disrupt the viewer’s gaze of feminine bodies and asks the viewer to consider the way in which they view and support sexual autonomy.

  • La Moisson

    Un film corporel et cauchemardesque avec violence excessive. Nightmarish corporeal body horror film with excessive violence.

  • Potamkin

    In 1933, at age 33, Harry Alan Potamkin died of complications related to starvation, at a time when he was one of the world’s most respected film critics. In his writings, he advocated for a cinema that would simultaneously embrace the fractures and polyphony of modern life and the equitable social vision of left radical politics. This film-biography is assembled out of distorted fragments of films on which he had written, an impression of erupting consciousness. At the Odessa steps, trampling gives breath to the child. The bullet miraculously reforms the face. The Cossacks march backwards, retreating unseen into their…

  • Gulf

    This film was shot on the north shore of Cuba looking towards the Gulf of Mexico, just months before 4.9 million barrels of oil was spilled by Deepwater Horizon between April 20-July 15, 2010. Wave patterns fill the frame, tearing apart the filmstrip itself. Selected Screenings: Berwick FIlm & Media Arts Festival, 2017 (Berwick-on-Tweed, UK)
