Sweden 13:50 min 2019
The Average is a film about the pursuit of mediocrity. Led by the artist dressed in Dalí's melting clocks, we meet a centipede that breaks in two, a TV anchor and a writer fighting about the separation of the collective, and an Ikaros who no longer wants to burn.

A digital re-staging of expanded cinema “Je Ne Sais Plus [What Is This Feeling”. Built on 27, 10-second 16mm film loops constructed from found footage and direct laser-animation techniques. An obstacle course between the heart and the doctor’s office leads to [DESTINY.] Kristin Reeves

Disorder
Mats Landström
Sweden
06:40 min 2019 To know where you are but still feeling lost. A feeling of not belonging. Uncertain about place and time. Connected but isolated. Maybe a loss of identity. But everything is still kind of ok. Just a bit confusing.

Confidence
Katarzyna Piorek
Sweden
03:51 min
2019
Musik: Alvin Piorek Modiggård
The film originally is presented as a loop.
It is a manifest about searching for humanity hidden under a mask out of a protective material for a wounded face: a bandage.
The idea of the film introduces the problem of a mask: an artificial face and the true self we hide underneath. The mask, which we put on for various reasons: to be adapt, accepted or admired…
By pretending to be someone else we are not ourselves anymore. We are forced to lie.
The mask is not just the make-up, but also our compulsion to adapt to the mainstream trends.
It is a kind of strange enslavement. |

Exhumation
Daniel McIntyre Canada 08:00 min 2018
A response to news of a celebrity paternity suit and the mythology adhered to it, Exhumation obsesses over buried memories to create one’s own monster from memory. Re-composed of images chemically treated to disintegrate, the figures peel their identities away to remain as ghosts of what once was. At once a diary of a death mask and of speculative hope, Exhumation dives through years of hurt feelings to find that although the body was here, you vanished.. |
