Poster for CIVIL WAR SURVEILLANCE POEMS (Part 1)

2019 · ★ 0.0 (0)

"CIVIL WAR SURVEILLANCE POEMS (Part 1)" is the first installment in a five-part project of experimental and hybrid-form short films contemplating a second American civil war via lyrical nonfiction, mixing call-in radio, twenty years of verité footage from the filmmaker's archive, and robots. Conceptually speculating from sixteen years in the future (and a protracted civil war), the project is partly nostalgic political travelogue, partly a quest to mine the archive for what went wrong, and part prewar surveillance records, the project deconstructs and builds to a clashing ideology, culminating in an installation of sound sculpture, four-walled video and artifacts.

The story of Four Seasons revolves around a woman entering her neighbor’s apartment to complain about the loud music but finds the neighbor naked in his bathtub and bleeding. The narrative then becomes more complex and incoherent, as the man continuously refers to her as “Stella”, even though she keeps on telling him that her name is Lucy. The absurd story line, referring to Roman Polanski’s The Tenant (1976) and Tennessee Williams’ film A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) as much as to Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blow-Up (1966) or Jorge Louis Borges’ novel The Immortal (1949), makes from Four Seasons a spectacular, lo-fi mixture of film-noir, thriller, documentary, soap opera and melodrama.

Poster for Socialist Zombie Massacre

2014 · ★ 7.2 (5)

In a research station in the Soviet military area of Beregavoye, a gas was developed to destroy the armies of the enemies of socialism. However, the gas experiment got out of control and had to be shut down. The remaining smoke bombs reached us during the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia in August 1968. Later, during a conscription exercise for high school students in 1985, gas from a stray smoke bomb infected students. A small group of students struggle to survive with their infected, aggressive classmates, but also with the schoolmaster Sergei, a former Red Army special forces officer. The infected students become biting and killing beasts. They fight with saw, club and red flag.
