By Catherine Little

A short film illustrating the wash cycle of your head - laundry while you sleep.

"Video spread" (01:32)

By Jovan Mrvaljevic

SER

WP

In this piece there are no traces of narrative, which can be understood as a continuous story, or an unfolding of event in time and space. Here, time is not constant or horizontal, but wavering. It is a collection of individualised moments in a "time collage" which serve to make visible the emotionally disturbed inner worlds of strangers.

A Film about Dreams and Needs (08:53)

By Eva tabares

IRL

This short tells the tale of two girls who decide they each want a baby-and what could be better than twins? They make it their mission to find a man who will sleep with both of them in the one night so that they can get pregnant and have their miracle babies together. Now they just need to find the man...

Unbearable Heat (03:30)

By Paul Barritt & Suzanne Andrade
ENG

Based on a poem by Suzanne Andrade, this animation allows the drawings to relate to the text in an oblique way, acting as an unusual punctuation to the words.

72DPI and the rest of the world at the end of the rainbow (03:32)

By Theresa Mayer

We are in 72dpi, a place where our lives are dominated by square pixels. In this world, giving birth to a square child or even feeling a raindrop on your skin can be extremely painful. Legend has it, that the only way to cross over to the real world would be through a magic rainbow...

Pangaea (03:24)

By Nicholas Economos

USA

This work reflects a life-long interest in the way things work and the systems that seem to make sense of them. My practice arises from a reflection on physical forces, machines and corporeality and Bateson's notion of seeking the patter.

CARDIOID (03:18)

By Istvan Laszlo

IRL

WP

Cardioid is the digital recreation of a dream. The subject of this piece is losing our most important body part, symbolized by the heart. The body rises up from the darkness and slowly opens. The movements reflect pain. The chest splits open and the heart leaves the body. The heart disappears and the body falls back in to the darkness.

Ku Ku (01:22)

A short flight through urban canyons has a surprising end.

Carnival (01:18)

By Kate McKeon

WP

This piece came together as a visualisation of sound. Erratic shapes, which are constantly changing form within a larger medium, represent the sounds. Pitches are represented by changing colours of a dominant hue whilst lighter colours represent purer underpinnings. Darker colours highlight sounds that are more texturally dense. It is as though you are allowed a closer glimpse at the activity within the mass.

Quasi-Objects/Cinematic N.04 (03:43)

By Lorenzo Oggiano

ITA

IP

The "Quasi-Objects" cycle, initiated in 2003 and still in progress, is composed of photographic and videographic materials generated with the assistance of 3D modelling, animation and rendering software. Cinematic n.04 (2005) is the third installation. It focuses on a practice of organic re-design that aims to stimulate thought and dialogue about the progressive relativisation of natural forms of life as a result of techno-biological evolution.

Carlito, a small laboratory mouse, suffers all kinds of experiments...

SUSPENSION (5:00)

WP

The curtain rises, clouds pass, a tower flies into the night. Swirling through a nighttime landscape, the film follows a shadowy female form on a windswept quest chasing a star. Blending hand painting and 3D, a painting unravels onscreen.

The Fold (4:00)

By Kim Collmer

Germany

Shot with underwater animation techniques, "The Fold" explores water as a reflective surface. Reminiscent of the early days of nature films, this piece lets us float within an artificial underwater realm of cellular doubling and aquatic life generation. The effects of the underwater movement and images were enhanced through digital editing techniques.

Shed (01:30)

By Paul Barritt

ENG

This short piece derives from the animator's own writing. The pictures appear upon the page as if being gradually seen and understood. The visual references appear in an oblique way to the text.

Black Day To Freedom (03.65)

By Rob Chiu

A bright sunny day. A happy family. Suddenly everything turns to chaos, loss and tragedy...
