Fish Eye
Ojo de Pez  
Fish eye


Gabriel Enrique Vargas
Colombia
2008 / HD / 0:15:30

Dewy images that travel between the trees and thread themselves with the whisper of the bees. Ingenuosness floats within the milk and imagination emerges from slumber with the bubbles, waiting for the tempestuous awakening of a conscience that silence and skin forefelt.

Diseased and Hundred Tear Period

Diseased and Hundred Tear Period


Sompot Chidgassompongse
Thailand
2008 / DV / 0:20:00

Using blown-up, fractured images from the six banned scenes in “Syndromes and a Century” by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, it’s a kind of report on the absurdity of an act of censorship while ironically exploring the fragmented history of Thailand. Sompot Chidgasornpongse was Weerasethakul’s assistant director.

Macabre Dance
 
Cocais, The Reinvented Town


Pedro Pires
Canada, Québec
2008 / 35 mm / 0:08:00

Sometimes, when we think ourself perfectly inert, our corpse becomes animated, express itself and dances a final macabre balley. The many spasms that shake our bodies are they only erratic movements or do they echo the swirl and tumult of our past lives?
