Nature

Andrew James Patterson, 5:00

Nature is comprised of downloaded video clips of landscapes, caves, animals, and bodies of water. ‘Nature’ has long been a loaded word. What is natural? What is art or artifice? Do human eyes automatically transform landscapes or rock formations into sculptures? Are the words nature and culture antonyms or synonyms? This five-minute video does not contain verbal language but rather an original musical composition.

Concrete Shape

Jesi Jordan, 5:02

To face your fear, you must let it enter your life as a Concrete Shape. An onsite video performance by Jesi Jordan created at the Diego Rivera Anahuacalli Museum in Mexico City. This film is made using hand made special effects and biodegradable materials such as Oaxacan clay, lava rocks, chicken eggs, cactus husks, and water.

Thorn on her side

Vjosana Shkurti, 5:27

A human narrates the story of a bad dream after buying a gorgeous plant at the market. What starts as an innocent encounter to relieve loneliness from isolation becomes a nightmarish seduction scene between a plant and its human. Together they give birth to a new creature.

Spermwhore

Anna Linder, 12:30

A queer experimental film about unwanted childlessness in a world where normative heterosexual relationships dictate who can become parents and in what way. When it comes to reproduction our merciless bodies reduce us to merely a set sex or given gender. But the longing for children is not limited to our bodies, and the possibility of pregnancy can be gifted, shared and undertaken together.

Pic Pic

Carol-Ann Belzil-Normand, 6:49

Pic Pic is an experimental animated film that metaphorically and conceptually reveals an erotic and exhilarating dimension of touching. The haptic relationship with the pin screen reveals forms and a primitive language that evoke a sensual relationship with the device.

Dancing Bodies

Laure Giappiconi, Elisa Monteil & La Fille Renne, 5:42

Dancing Bodies is a joyful and suxual ode to sorority.

jeny303

Laura Huertas Millán, 7:00

Born out of an ‘objective hazard’, (a 16mm roll where two different subjects were imprinted by mistake), jeny303 is a composite work intertwining two portraits.

The Taking of Jordan (All American Boy)

Kalil Haddad, 7:38

Jordan, an amateur adult performer, recalls the horror of his many former lives.

Goddess of Speed

Frédéric Moffet, 8:21

A film titled Dance Movie (or, alternatively, Rollerskate) appears in many Warhol filmographies, but no work with this title has been found in the archive. The lost film, starring dancer Fred Herko, was shot in 1963. A year later, Herko leaped out of an open window while dancing to Mozart’s Coronation Mass in C Major. Inspired by descriptions of the missing film and the memoir of Herko’s best friend, the poet Diane Di Prima, Goddess of Speed poetically reimagines the last days of the young performer.

through the bushes and the trees, you'll find me

Morgan Sears-Williams, 3:38

through the bushes and the trees, you’ll find me intertwines the personal and political histories of Hanlan’s Point Beach, the site of Canada's first pride gathering in the early 1970s. A strategically placed hole punch serves as a symbolic peephole, reflecting the cruising areas on the beach that invite both spectatorship and participation. This work was made by hole punching frame by frame using a cricut machine, then manually taping together 10,000+ frames.
