Snap

2006 • 5 min

Snap is a taut, minimalist work that explores the aesthetics of digital video production. Fingers and hands in close-up move fast, then slowly, to a soundtrack of stylized clicks and snaps, while intermittent flares of color burn through the original black and white footage. Snap pushes figure and sound toward abstraction in an inventive, considered, and pleasurable exploration of moving image technology.

Accidently sent back to the 60's, the USS Enterprise is discovered by Chief O'Hara and Gotham City Space Control. Beaming down to Gotham for absolutely no reason, Kirk and Spock are kidnapped and brainwashed by the Joker and Catwoman. The fun and melee begins as ridiculous fights, childish dialogue, and colorful costumes

Bolerium

2006 • 23 min

"Bolerium" captures a day-in-the-life at one of America's most important independent bookstores - Bolerium Books - run from a hidden location in the heart of San Francisco's immigrant/radical Mission District. This 23 minute portrait is a humorous exploration of the store, its diverse staff and the wild array of customers who frequent its shelves. Filmed in a handheld style, the documentary captures the caffeinated energy that has driven this store for the last 25 years. A whirlwind of activity, Bolerium Books is dedicated to preserving the history of the world's social movements. They house the largest collections of Gay & Lesbian, Chicano and Spanish Civil War materials in the United States. Trotskyism is the fastest selling section in the store, but they have also sold thousands of Gay Pulp novels and Black Panther posters.

Morphing

2006 • 3 min • Spain

Morphing is a spectacular digital technique for producing animated films in which two apparently unrelated elements are transformed one into the other before our very eyes. This video is based on the piece Homo-Felis in which the photograms of a morph between a cat and a human being were created physically one-by-one and then reconstructed with traditional animation techniques.

Jack the Vomiter

2006 • 20 min • United States of America

A killer stalks the streets of a re-imagined 19th-century slum, preying on women, on the ragged prostitutes who walk the alleys at night. Once they meet 'Jack,' however, their street walking nights are brought to a most gruesome and unusual end. Though the murderer bears only a passing resemblance to his more infamous London counterpart, the exploits of Jack the Vomiter will certainly be well remembered in the annals of crime history. Jack himself will see to that - as he leaves his unique calling card at the scene of each new slaying.

Planet X

2006 • 6 min • United States of America

With a proclamation of prophecy spoken by avant garde jazz musician, Sun Ra, predicting a coming disaster to African-Americans."

シねない奴

2006 • 29 min

A 25-year-old man suffering from pneumonia. No matter how difficult the world may be, he is doing his best just to be afraid of being hospitalized by a doctor, even though it is the New Year when the whole of Japan is superficially conspicuous. Contact with a high school girl who was interested in his poetry did not change his melancholy outlook on life. A narcissistic reminiscent of the independent work "I Am Sono Sion !!", which was sensationally released by director Sono Sion, who captured the collapse and rebirth of the modern Japanese family in "Noriko's Dinner Table" to the utmost. There will definitely be someone who is attracted to the character of the main character. A world view that should be called the origin of independent films. If you get hooked here, it's no longer possible to control the rotation of your brain that keeps activating.
