URUM
Takafumi Tsuchiya (Takafumi Tsuchiya)
Japonska/Japan, 2006, miniDV, 6’20’’
Pokrajina, ki sem jo videl, je bila čisto drugačna od tiste na videoposnetku. Da bi ustvaril pristen posnetek videnega, rekonstruiram čudovito pokrajino, tako da hkrati ustvarjam nove svetove in obujam že videno – prisotnost občutka nezdružljivosti.
The scenery that I had seen was quite different from the image that was recorded in this video. Therefore, to reproduce the scenery faithfully, beautiful landscapes are reconstructed in the video, simultaneously generating new scenery with déjà vu – a sense of incompatibility.
MALA SMRT / LA PETITE MORT / LITTLE DEATH
Damir Čučić (Hrvatski filmski savez/Croatian Film Clubs Association)
Hrvaška/Croatia, 2007, digiBeta, 7’20’’
Film se začne z dokumentarnim posnetkom električne naprave, ki zažiga žuželke. Resnična organska podoba množične smrti se spremeni v digitalni posnetek, kjer domišljijsko seme smrti tke svoj mrtvaški ples in nazadnje pahne plešočo smrt v neskončnost mesečeve svetlobe, v kateri mala bitja za hip oživijo.
The starting point of the film is documentary footage of an electrical device burning insects and bugs. Recorded mass death transforms an organic image to a digital recording from which the imaginary deadly seed weaves its macabre dance, finally plunging the spinning death into the never-ending lunar colour where the beings shortly resurrect.
MOTODROM
Jörg Wagner (Dirk Manthey)
Nemčija/Germany, 2006, 35mm, 9’
Svet peklenskih jezdecev: možje in motorji, hitrost in akrobacije, bencin in adrenalin. Med dirko starinskih motorjev po lesenem opažu valjastega stolpa je videti, kot bi motoristi pred očmi očarane množice gledalcev premagovali silo težnosti. Film elegantno zaobjame vzdušje v čudoviti črno-beli vizualizaciji, z energičnimi posnetki in utripajočim zvokom.
The world of the hell riders: men and motor bikes, speed and stunts, gasoline and adrenaline. Racing their antique bikes around the wood-panelled walls of a circular tower, the riders seem to defy gravity while the captivated audience peers down from above. Motordrom stylishly captures the atmosphere in beautiful black-and-white imagery using energetic camera work and pulsating sound.

MOJE ŽIVLJENJE PRI 40-IH / MY LIFE AT 40
Laurie Hill (Royal College of Art)
VB/UK, 2005, BetaSP, 7’40’’
Sicer jih še nimam štirideset, ampak mislim vnaprej. Pri filmu sodelujeta 34-letni režiser in njegova 12-letna različica iz preteklosti, zagledana v slavno prihodnost, ko bosta postala 40-letni borec za zaščito okolja z lamborghinijem v garaži.
I’m not 40 yet but I’m forward-thinking. A special collaboration between the director, aged 12 years, and his present 34 year old self, both looking forward to a glorious future as a 40 year old conservation hero and Lamborghini owner.
TVOJA ZA VEDNO / YOURS TRULY
Osbert Parker (Osbert Parker, Fiona Pitkin)
VB/UK, 2006, digiBeta, 7’35’’
Filmske ikone prodirajo skozi pozabljene plasti stare emulzije. V mestu onkraj resničnosti se odigra zgodba polna navzkrižij, zgodba o Franku in Charliju, ki žrtvujeta svoja prepričanja v iskanju ljubezni, medtem pa se njuna svetova animacije in igranega filma usodno prepletata.
Film icons burst through lost layers of yesterday’s emulsion. Reassembled into a surreal city, the conflicting story of Frank and Charlie is told as they sacrifice their morals to find love while their two worlds of animation and live action collide.
PSIHO(TA) / PSYCHO(S)
Ip Yuk-Yiu, (ST) Choi Sai-Hoi (Ip Yuk-Yiu / School of Creative Media)
Kitajska/China, 2005, miniDV, 12’
Živi remix Hitchcockovega Psiha in kasnejše Van Santove predelave filma. Posebej narejena programska oprema omogoča real-time montažo, ki spaja filma, narejena s časovnim razmikom štiridesetih let, v hipnotični tok zrcalnih podob.
Psycho(s) is a live remix of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho and Gus Van Sant’s remake. Running on custom software that edits the films in real-time, Psychos(s) transforms the two films that were made 40 years apart into a hypnotic stream of mirror images.
