Time Conservation
(Ekaterina Kravtsova / Russian Federation)

In the small village in Rajasthan, India, I made a film Time Conservation (2011). This project is about village girls, how they are growing up and what they dream about. Village people live according their customs and habits and don’t want to change anything. As a reference of this kind of time conservation and ritual actions I showed a play, which we did with local girls in a desert. This is a play of Soviet children, which was called SECRETS while we put some beautiful garbage into the hole and covered with glass and earth than, making it like a sarcophagus.

Carry Each Other
(Ekaterina Kravtsova / Russian Federation)

Doing research about elderly people in Italy, particularly in Biella, I found that there are many immigrants, who take care of them (from post-Soviet countries also). These two weak parts of society, the elderly people and the immigrants are trying to help each other, sometimes even despite of the law. Different cultures and different ages live in collaboration where they need each other. They help each other to survive, to make life easier and better. Moreover I found an interesting phenomenon that despite a difficult situation – or maybe because of it – some people are trying to construc (...)

(Roderick Steel / Brazil)

Triptych of a telematic intervention in a Cathedral in Brazil. Documentary and theatrical documentations blur borders between actual and virtual worlds in fluid frames-within-frames.

Fragmenti
(Tanja Sango / Croatia)

Presentation of “todayness-reality” through the eyes of author. Thus a composition is created through which a specific perspective of objective reality is shown. By intervention within the frames the author is exploring the newly created picture which develops during those 7minutes. Relying on the theory of sociology and experimental film the author presents the audio-visual work in which the documentary record is shaped by a series of graphic elements (line, colour, composition) as well as auditive ones, upon the already existing recorded background picture and sound.

The Tea Party
(Sarah Younan / United Kingdom)

My work focuses on the symbolism of the ceramic vessel; in particular it’s connection to sexuality and the female form. The table ware comes alive and performs. In it’s combination of real and unreal images, alterations in scale and dreamlike scenes the `Tea party´ evokes childhood tales, combining them with suggestive imagery. The result is a carnivalesque tea party that turns the world upside down. And, strange to tell, among that earthen lot Some could speak, while others not And suddenly one more impatient cried Who is the potter, pray, and who the pot? (Rhubbayat, Omar Khayyam) I am the little teapot.

Figures
(Cláudia Melo / Portugal)

Video footage Figures takes shape through the analysis, understanding and perception of existing sound, provoking images unfold frame by frame causing an insistent flicker wich questions as well the exhibition and perception space with a convulsion cadence. Images and sound, are considered as positive spaces presenting a meticulous timing. The found footage allows the activation of an image already experienced, their capture, manipulation and alteration of their time and their spatiality. The documental imagery appropriation focuses on rituals, obsessions, compulsions and repetitions in a correspondence to the figure in music, in a sense of repetition and questioning of temporal linearity.

An Ode to Cinema's Worst Writing Cliché
(Tiffany Joy Butler / United States)

The concept behind this piece is inspired by Jeff Smith's montage "You Just Don't Get It, Do You?" of mostly bad Hollywood films. Following the shorten version of Jeff’s montage, vignettes, with myself as an actress, parody the typical Hollywood line of dialogue. I recite the cliché while melodramatically staring into the viewer’s eye- shattering the line between comedy, cinema, and experimental film. The film is a critique on the art of screenwriting as well as the cinematic world.

Nostalgia: Blue Skies Transmission
(Bill Psarras / United Kingdom)

'Nostalgia' creates a video artistic narrative through animated 2D compositions; based on a nostalgic human figure within the city. In particular, the focus on the spatial emptiness (streets, empty spaces) and the liminal mood, constitute the perfect public space to locate the element of the public urban screen as a medium of blue skies transmission. The city is empty, static and there is everywhere a feeling of blasé attitude, according to Surrealists. Even in this emptiness, unfolded CCTV cameras observe and record the strange habit of this figure to stand and gaze in front of the big scree (...)

Il gioco del mondo
(Estevan Bruno / Italy)

L’opera esaspera la brutalità spesso latente e mascherata delle immagini televisive e l’indifferenza con la quale le introiettiamo, come se le scene di violenza proposte giornalmente dai media fossero anch’esse ricostruzioni fittizie. L’approccio ludico a cui invito lo spettatore può farlo slittare verso il gioco proibito degli adulti: un gioco che mischia consapevolmente realtà e finzione.
