Poster for (I)FRAME

2016 · ★ 0.0 (0)

A video is a stream of information, and this moving image relies upon the relationship of static frames, which are algorithmically determined. In the language of video compression, the (I) frames are the reference points between which movement is interpolated. Manual deletion or misplacement of (I) frames results in a video glitch known as a datamosh: the stream of nformation d srupted, d sorgan zed … nterupeted … lost … the ( ) frame removed, rejected … BUT, reclaimed, the (I) frames, the burning bolts of the machine, are at once reasserted in this dance macabre ... (I) FRAME is a mechanical ballet set to the original tempo that characterizes motion on screen at 24 "(I) frames" a second...

Poster for Make Films

— · ★ 0.0 (0)

While the Sky Is Watching is Roman Mikhailov’s tenth film in four years — his last before a long pause, or his last of all. This film about the shoot is a portrait of Mikhailov as a director, of his method, and of the singular world of underground dancers to which While the Sky Is Watching belongs. It is easy to lose the thread in this making-of: Masha Chernaya is making a documentary about Roman Mikhailov making a fiction film about Valeriya Gai Germanika making a documentary. One thing is clear though: films need to be made.
