Film made by John Kneller with a sound design by John Shipman. It focuses on the environment using time-lapse cinematography as a means to capture phenomena that is impossible to see with the naked eye. Automated pan, tilt and zoom mechanics were custom-built by the filmmaker to augment the time-lapse techniques. The resulting imagery is a hyper-reality of landscapes transformed by means of the camera's mechanical mediation. The sound design was created from naturally recorded sound phenomena and musical performances. The Romantic musical elements are reminiscent of lyrical depictions of nature and environment. The deliberate mediation of the sound and image suggests that our relationship to the environment cannot be viewed outside of the realm of the political. The film is a lament for the plundering of the earth. Paradoxically, the camera also exists to plunder the earth, mining images. The film was completed in 2006.

This documentary is counting down the top 10 deadliest Kung Fu weapons and fighting techniques. The Kung Fu documentary shows uses of famous Chinese weapons, including rare and unconfirmed weapons like the flying guillotine. In Chinese, Kung Fu can be used in contexts completely unrelated to martial arts, and refers colloquially to any individual accomplishment or skill cultivated through long and hard work. The origins of Chinese martial arts can be traced over 6,000 years ago to self-defense needs, hunting activities and military training in ancient China. Hand-to-hand combat and weapons practice were important components in the training of Chinese soldiers.

Since the early 1990s, Roye Villevoye has regularly visited the Asmat (a Papuan people) in Irian Jaya, Papua New Guinea. After several films, Beginnings returns to his perspective of the first and naive interest of a Westerner. In two parts, shot on the spot and in Holland, we get to know an almost paradise-like state of innocence. It only becomes clear later how this was achieved.

“With Lantouy the young German video artist Isabell Spengler pursues a work revolving around the magic perception of the real. The film creates a purely sensuous experience, a place in which the veiled and the unveiled rejoin. The stagnant waters of the Gouffre de Lantouy in the Departement Lot in Southern France form under the gaze of Isabell Spengler a theater of moving matter, in kind of a delicate iridescent explosion.” - François Bonenfant, La Cinémathèque Française, Paris, 2007

It is a film based on Scandinavian ballads, allegorically portraying the complex relationship between the two beginnings - Male and Female, Light and Darkness, Love and Death. The eternal dance of life embraces two main characters - the Girl and the Knight in various guises (a king, a jester) - the relationship between whom develops on two levels - realistic and symbolic. The visual approach based on medieval engravings, the Scandinavian tradition of wooden sculptures and ornaments as well as the colour scheme carry profound philosophical and symbolic meaning. The film is made in the technique of total animation.

"You can only see them when you close your eyes." But closing your eyes does not quite replace the perception of the film, which however tries to reproduce this phenomenon. Artist Billy Roisz says "I have always been fascinated by the figures and structures that are imprinted by the light under the eyelid."

Eyes open and keep looking into the blinding source of light that reduces figures and objects in this film to narrow silhouettes. All there is light...
