REASONS WHY VIEWERS FAIL TO REMEMBER MAN MAN - ENGWISH BWOOD Fi Fi Fo Fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman. TALES OF MERE EXISTENCE New advice from Dr. Lev, including “How To Break Up With Your Girlfriend” and “How To Cope With Depression.” PRIMATE CINEMA “A split screen juxtaposes field footage of baboons with a reenactment by human actors, shot in film noir style. A tale of lust, jealousy, sex, and violence transpires simultaneously in human and nonhuman worlds. Beastly males, instinctively attracted to a femme fatale, fight to win her, but most are doomed to fail. The story of sexual selection is presented across species, re-mapping the savannah to the urban jungle. Primatologist, Deborah Forster, who explains their behavior in voiceover, shot the raw field footage of olive baboons in Kenya.” – Rachel Mayeri FILTHY FOOD Eat it. Lick it. Suck it. Swallow it. Relax. “A woman performs oral sex on food.” – T. Arthur Cottam JULIE FAB & HEATHER MARIE – PUSS IN BOOTS “I’ve been waiting for you so I can sow my seeds of perversion to every man, woman, and hermaphrodite in the USA! Are you ready? FOR ROTISSERIE CHICKEN FETISH!!!!!!!” – Julie Fabulous A SHORT COLLECTION OF HILARY FLAMINGO’S DREAM VOCATIONS A delicious selection of cake-fuelled fantasies. Hilary Flamingo’s apathetic mood is unexpectedly illuminated by the spontaneous arrival of a shining plate of little cakes that wriggle and entice her to eat them. As she munches her way through each cake, she discovers herself working in extraordinary alternative jobs that appear to be the thrilling and enchanting lives she desires. DINNER TABLE An ordinary taco dinner leads a couple on a brief journey through the many ways to thoroughly ignore one’s date while seemingly paying attention. THE RELUCTANT NARRATOR “When Donald Rumsfeld briefed his press secretary on how to deal with the media he said, 'begin with an illogical premise and proceed perfectly logically to an illogical conclusion. Then he said, '[the media] do it all the time.' The world we are creating is a world in which the viewer is forced to suspend his or her disbelief, and at the same time asked to critique the ambiguity of the narrative presented.” – David Poolman AN INTRODUCTION TO LUCID DREAM EXPLORATION Painstakingly created by hand, frame-by-frame, on an Etch-a-Sketch, this animation is a trip through the depths of the ;ucid subconscious in search of self-realization. Based on an actual dream in which John Grigsby realized he was in the evil part of his mind, and decided he wants to find out who was in charge and destroy them. JOANNA NEWSOM – PEACH, PLUM, PEAR “A story of Warner’s fashionable rust-proof corsets guaranteed not to rust, break or tear.” – Kurtis Hough ALONE: WITHOUT A FRIEND IN THE WORLD Can ectoplasmic excretions really give meaning to one's lonely existence? A lonesome young woman tries to find out in this homage to Z-grade black and white horror films. MANUELLE LABOR “It's a little collaboration I did with Guy Maddin. We've known each other for a while now, and I've always made film portraits of different artists. So I asked Guy if I could film him, and he said: "No! I hate my face and I hate my voice." So I said: "OK, well, film your hands or your feet, and I'll do something with it." So he actually shot his hands on Super 8 film, and a year later he sent me the reel… I shot a film around them where I'm getting sick and pregnant and I'm giving birth to a pair of hands. And they're his hands.” – Marie Losier (from an interview with S.T. VanAirsdale, thereeler.com) |
