Back to Film Listings	Film Base: Friday 4:00pm- 6:30pm
	December, Version 1 (06:30) By Anita Delaney IRL By disrupting the usual genre of a chorus line display I wish to unsettle the viewer and question notions of what is being presented. Ideas of femininity, the male gaze and the body are also alluded to. The young dancing girls are supposed to be passive and pleasing yet they are somehow menacing and move with military precision and rhythm.
	Firefighting (02:20) By Scott James ENG IP My movie aims to consider language - form and use - by attempting to unify the incongruous dimensions of a story; we both listen to and author a story experience that is at once being simultaneously retold by the protagonist and spontaneously created by the listener. The listener generates the images that give life and substance to the story being told.
	Gij3 (0:04) By Mladen Stropnik SVN Touching breasts is like mixinig yogurt with fingers accompanied by good music.
	Struggle For Existence (01:58) By Yu-Chen Wang ENG IP By Linking Darwin's "The Truth of universal struggle for existence" with a Taiwanese children's game, the video represents a simplistic drawing exploring two individual's slaughter in the virtual battlefield. Here tanks, naval forces & fighter planes are drawn to shoot enemies. The continuing drawing aspect reflects on the ideology of boundary dividing, self-defending patriotism and bellicosity.
	Indija / India (0:25) By Mladen Stropnik SVN In translation to art dedication. It was all made for aesthetics. Hahaha...
	Ebb Away (02:16) By Gautam Kansara IP Ebb Away is a two channel video installation that contains elements of an abbreviated and disjunctive rueful love story. Through brief moments of open-ended narrative the videos evoke a strained melancholy and an overall looming sense of loss. The piece conveys a sullen climate of personal insecurity, collective anxiety, and missed opportunities.
	STILL ALIVES (02:34) By Laurent PERNOT FRA IP By linking the languages of animation and video composition, this musical video displays a series of old and more recent photographic images from various countries: Hungary , Germany , France , Russia , etc. The camera (here virtual) plunges into a luminous child's face and lets us cross over a sequence of portraits in morphing. Still Alives examines the transmission of life, memory and disappearance.
	04 (01:30) By Chris Mckee USA A compositional exploration into the world of non-symbolic animation based on basic design concepts and produced through current digital techniques.
	Past and Future Self (01:37) By Austin Houldsworth ENG Exploring the parallels between an expanding/contracting universe and human development.
	The Window (02:00) By Clare Shanahan IRL Domestic discourse- investigating alienation in the household.
	DeJA VU (01:20) By Feargal O'Malley NIR Based on a poem by Adrian Fox, it is a tongue and cheek take on the well-known term. By taking a number of photographs of the same place I tried to create a mood of remembrance.
	Korner dik / Corner Dick (0:56) By Mladen Stropnik SVN My home town Velenje is small. Woman wallking with a dog around the corner playing role of the day.
	The Intruder (1:10) Joby Hickey IRL A character see's himself entering his house and killing him.
	Lights Out (02:49) By Jan Hakon Erichsen NOR WP Several lamps are lit and placed one by one in front of a wall. A big stone is thrown on the lamps, resulting in their total destruction.
	L.M.S. (02:18) By Nuno Baptista, Paula GonzÃ¡lez and Maria Carita PRT In 1750, the Portuguese doctor Fonseca Rodrigues remembered the Galenic theory.
	Of. Balance (02:30) By Edgar Santinhos and JoÃ£o Biscaia PRT Is the product crossed between elements of balance and disequilibrium?
	Roll (00:41) By Robert Ladislas Derr USA Roll was a chance to introduce a sense of the irrational in the course of daily routine; irrational, because as an adult, rolling down a hill is not considered a rational way of descent.
	Pusi / Pussy (0:12) By Mladen Stropnik SVN No face, no case.
	Cat Run (0:41) By Joby Hickey IRL Cats running and jumping to Bacalov music which looks like scene from a spaghetti western, only with cats and no guns or bandits.
	Shadow (01:08) By Jennie Thwing USA This is a video about the identity in crisis. It is taken from a series of videos entitled UNAWARE. This piece was originally intended to be projected through a dusty window.
	Birobadjan (03:00) By Carlo sansolo BRA Video based on the idea of being in a non place, in a place which is near nothing, and close to anything. Hypnotic forms representing interesting objects, and questioning the possibility of the formation of an escapist art. Thinking the artificially the relations formed between text and image.
	Skywalker (3:00) By Michiel Van Bakel HOL
	Covered Road (02:49) By Anne-Maree Barry IRL
	Fingering and Footing. (3:44) By Catherine Ross USA OS
