Bag Your Face ~ Dir. Keith Eyrich ~ Ephrata, USA ~ 2019 ~ 20:08
"Taking the after-school special format and crashing it at high speed head-on with a whirligig of 90's VHS/video game/Nickelodeon trash imagery, Keith Eyrich’s short ‘Bag Your Face’ is pure Nuclear Nostalgia - The highly questionable neighborhood traveling amusement park ride you can’t get off of." - Film Maudit 2.0 |
Freytag’s Pyramid of Climactic Light ~ Dir. Kai Swanson ~ North Carolina, USA ~ 3:44
Freytag’s Pyramid of Climactic Light interrogates the relationship between the individual film frame and the audience’s perception of the ideology projected. By taking 16mm film and capturing 900 different stills from NC-17 rated films through a 35mm photo camera and projecting the images at the standard cinematic frame rate of 24 frames per second, I ask the audience to investigate the relationship between each frame. My goal for this film is to disrupt the audience’s complacency and expand their view of narrative, censorship, and storytelling in mainstream cinema. |

Cine, Me ~ Dir. Junseok Eom ~ USA ~ 2:01
From the director: "I made an experimental short film titled, "CINE, ME." In this film, I try to combine two things, my birth and the birth of cinema. I spent most of my life time with cinema. My life is strongly related to the cinema so I just tried to mix the story of my life and the history of cinema together. Plus, in my opinion, there are some crucial elements to cinema such as steam power, the sewing machine, the train, and so on which allowed the cinema to be born and grow. This is my thought. Thus, I attempt to show and represent those elements in this film. I believe that a film editor is quite similar to a tailor, in that they sew together 16mm physical film. I hope you enjoy my work and are inspired by it." |
