Wave Form

2020 / Canada / 8 min / Experimental

Directed By Tiz
Cast: Margaret Brock

WAVE FORM explores movie viewing, sharing, and making as a means of confronting the experience of mental illness.

Transitions

2017 / Switzerland / 13 min / Experimental

Directed By Aurèle Ferrier

TRANSITIONS is a journey from the civilizing void of the desert to a maximal urban, capitalistic and hedonistic density, which in the case of Las Vegas assumes some bizarre expression. The film is a contemplation without any people or moving machines in it, focussing on the built and designed.

And I Feel Fine

And I Feel Fine

2020 / USA / 8 min / Experimental

Directed By Kate Walker

A group of young friends walk through an urban wasteland at night, headed for “Disaster Karaoke” at Boise Idaho’s original gay bar, ‘Lucky Dog Tavern’. Fragments of archival material including nuclear energy instructional video, old music videos and storm reporting footage are layered in with heartfelt apocalyptic singing, in a strange blend of joyous anxiety, “And I Feel Fine,” includes brief interviews with the performers speaking frankly about their fears, experiences and hopes for the world they inherit. Homelessness, climate anxiety and systematic disregard for life are some of the stories told. Throughout these anxieties, a sense of irrepressible optimism lingers.

If this really was the end of the world, you wouldn’t want to miss it.
