sadescription L'hôtel des vies reproductibles
3mn   color   mono   2000   France
by Pierre-Yves Cruaud
The private life of several individuals is unveiled before surveillance cameras installed in the rooms that they have borrowed. The film interrogates the role of a calera which has the assigned function of a witness. The eye of the camera captures a number of individuals who become less and less important as it progrsses along its frontal advance... the objective of the camera is to isolate one of the hotels inhabitants, but its gesture will not be very much appreciated.

In the end, it's habituelle./ Nothing exceptional./ We eat./ As usual. Repeated gestures, crossing over./ Rhythmic shot./ Counter-shot. In the end, the tone rises./ It's always the same./There's speaking, there's singing./ Celebration. In the end, the bodies get tangled up, get separated./ In the end, obviously, we embrace.

11mn   color & b/w   mono   2001   Israel
by Pablo Utin
An attempt to confront separation. A video about the impossibility of keeping things. A video about things that end. A video about obsession. A video about loneliness. A video about technical degradation. A video about repetition. A video about love...

sadescription Justice !
6mn   color   stereo   2002   Canada
by Eltractor
The top of its balcony, the insane one looks at the world. The remote control is in its head...JUSTICE! is a formal exercise. Firquet films its immediate vicinity then it dismounts it in real time under the influence of sonorities of its comparses, Michaud and Montal.

sadescription An elegy to our small selves
10mn   color   stereo   2002   USA
by Anita Chang
Calmly but desperately I attempt to link the disappearing animal and human worlds. Interfacing the -disappearing- technologies of Super -8mm and 16mm image projection, with the raw technology of immediacy and reality that is video. Captive images of animals and humans in raw form are juxtaposed and documented in a way that speaks more tothe current identity crises of the human race and ultimately, the fragility of beauty, nature and humanity.
