[Dec. 23rd, 2009|09:32 pm] |
It is both a comfort and misfortune that time blurs everything. Six years ago at this time I started this little space which I regrettably neglect, in an attempt to cement fleeting moments. After traveling to Paris in August, the most valuable memory was visiting the Villa Savoye; more important to me than entering the Sainte-Chapelle & Palais Royal. I can still smell the dry grass that surrounds it, I put those weeks behind me for the better. I thought I knew monotony (primary school) until I surrendered my time for tedious labor in the months following. I put that behind me now, too. Another holiday approaches that will take me to snowy parts and an island off the North Atlantic, perhaps I'll repeat it over for amusement.

pour rien loop - jeremiah jones
walk-in film
to enact collapse visually, is an antidote to the cultural premise that there is a good way and a bad way. to see a person alive in this way, going on living says to me that we think that life is worth it. he is placing himself in the public eye, a real person in a video, a man exposed in the road, thrown in the street “amongst mortals” us viewers, alive to see it.
happy birthday - dane vandewiele
a young man finds himself celebrating his birthday on the run from a most unorthodox organization
whiplash - clint enns
a video for naked city's whiplash inspired by henry hills.
latitare is better - stefano schirru
what makes a cage perfect is not the solidity of its walls, the excellence of its alarm and security systems, or the impossibility to escape. what really makes a cage perfect is the absolute pointlessness of the outside world. so the cage becomes the only available shelter.
el hombre orquesta - juan martin rosete
one man band arrives to play his music to a small village, but we will have to face a tough audience.
lesbian werewolf party - michael nirenberb
lesbian lust! lesbian murder! lesbian werewolves!
my idea for “lesbian werewolf party” was to make a traditional b-movie without the boring movie part. all that is left is the thrills that the people want from a b-movie, boiled down to 8 minutes.
“lesbian werewolf party” was shot with an all female cast. the sets were from michel gondry’s gallery exhibition “be kind rewind” at deitch projects in new york. i was the charge scenic artist who painted and designed them. after getting permission i went ahead and shot the whole thing in 2 hours.
12 steps - john baldino
purgatory - eric falardeau
an hellish descent into a man's inner purgatory.
e finita la commedia - jean-julien collette and olivier tollet
a car is parked in a residential area. inside the car a father and son are having an intense conversation about life, love, sex, death and the wife/mother of the family. the two appear to be in collaboration over something, and it is obvious that they have an unusually close relationship. time goes by, and although the questions keep coming, they remain unanswered. what are they waiting for?
trip down the fallopian tube - cami starkman
trip down the fallopian tube is an eisensteinian-style montage tracking the trials and tribulations of sexual awakening. we embark on this “trip,” bombarded with symbolic images of the disorienting and sometimes frightening world of puberty and juvenile sexual experience. after we struggle through this journey, we end up in the beautiful an lush realm of erotic experience. elegantly incorporating found and original images, live action and animation, trip submerges the viewer in a visual exploration of the simultaneous fears and pleasures these early sexual experiences can bring.
do pencils go to heaven - steve wright
do pencils go to heaven? short answer, no. longer answer, please stop acting crazy. a film by steve wright, starring the wright family & jo-jo. photographed by jon gerard. edited by brian pearce. harp performed by john m. wright. a manning road production.
x 7:30 - gabriele agresta
nothing.
only a white wall.
then a puzzle of memories or scraps of a dream.
nothing but hints. no actors, no bodies, no actions. nothing.
white wall again.
beyond this candid universe.
everything. |

I feel so guilty staring at this blank page. I want to write but the anxiety makes it impossible. This is why I have An Anxiety Workbook.
I am in love but that makes things a little less sudsy, you know? Not better.
How do I get my mother to leave my step father? She's crazy and he's abusive.
I have to move out. I'm 21 years old. These are not my problems. But then I think about how sad I get that my mother hates her life...
Florida, here I come.

 chicago filmmakers cooperative friday, january 29th, 2010 at 8:00 pm animated shorts from around the world
animation grows up in this amazing collection of acclaimed shorts. instead of talking toys, rambling robots and fun-loving fish, the characters here are usually people who take on the angst, humor and melancholy of adult life. yet even while delving into complex issues such as marriage, death, war, desperation and love, there remains a touch of playfulness and irony that animation will never outgrow. wild detours to strange worlds and creatures are here too, along with boundless imagination and flights of fancy. come explore animation's darker side with this international collection and see where the road takes you.

The self and the not-self form together. Odd to think of the self as an abstraction of the not-self, as in, you project "x is not me, so I am what is mutually exclusive to x". Tricky thing is our consciousness does a lot of pattern-finding and story-telling (or you could be more technical and refer to the a priori processes) which thrives on homogenous entities. By this I mean, an entity which is only itself, and not multiple things recognized as a higher-order thing also or only. And those entities exist within laws of logical contradiction.
Black & white, man & woman, etc. But think of our shift in language, in the complex process of mapping the territory of in-betweenness we've attempted and sometimes achieved. It's not just mathematical quantification that's done it, though that helped. It's even an artistic thing.
Once you atomize any entity, you see it isn't just itself, but a myriad of processes which also act singularly at a higher level of organization. This level of split consciousness of an entity is difficult to navigate: a person is both a singular person and a billion chemical processes going on at once, which mutual dependability.
When you try to create something, either as a representation or a process (like a picture of a person, or a means of shucking corn), you have to reexamine that which was "creature" to you (only what you aren't creating at this instant). In the process of creating you atomize a process, and then reorganize other parts to create new wholes. Industrial modularity is as allegorical of physicalist modernism as it gets--right along with the ghosts lingering in the machines, the brutality of competing corporations (think of the multiple senses of corporation, from its root), and its seeming infinitude of possibility.

I worked 5:45-1pm kitchen shift without even a piss. Still need to go back and marinade some mozzarella. Have been in a stressed out mood the last few days, given I have no healthcare, and am between a rock and a hard place viz. providers/care. Even lost my temper a little at the end of my shift. Left my bike helmet in the basement, "FUCK!" Tired but have to go X-mas shopping. Bed at 9, hopefully. Kitchen shifts next couple days, but not quite so early. Kitchen is fun except for having to actually live according to winter daylight. |
