DUNNO
Dir: Kalina Alabrudzińska | Poland, 2013 | 17 mins
This documentary shows how everyday life becomes special when you turn on the camera.

GLASS EYES OF LOCUST BAYOU
Dir: Simon Mercer | UK/Canada, 2013 | 15 mins
Arkansas-based film-maker Phil Chambliss documents his rural life through a blurred and tangled haze; his DIY films straddle fact and fiction, good and evil. In Glass Eyes of Locust Bayou, director Simon Mercer has created a mesmerizing short film about a man who documents a dark and strange version of Americana.

DOG AUTOPSY
Dir: Jonathan Hancock | USA, 2013 | 5 mins
Dog Autopsy takes you to dark places in this super 8 short documentary. Jonathan Hancock was invited to film the horrors which most people never see. Explore your life as the autopsy questions the importance of existence. To cherish every moment is the film’s message. The gory imagery is meant to honor the dog in a visceral appearance. (JH)

WHEN I STOP LOOKING
Dir: Todd Herman | USA, 2013 | 15 mins
Going beyond the imprint of appearances, When I Stop Looking invokes the intensely private worlds of those portrayed, each of whom lives with significant facial and cranial conditions. A vivid affirmation of existence comes forward before anything else.

IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME
Dir: Jason Younkman | USA, 2012 | 8 mins
My life recapitulated as a phantasmagoria of nostalgia and neurosis. Capricious memories and sensory impressions collide, coalesce and collapse. (JY)

SHOOTING THE TRIBE
Dir: Gemma Atkinson & Fred Grace | Colombia/UK,2013 | 10 mins
In 1989, the Kogi tribe of Colombia, opened their doors to a BBC documentary film crew. Their intention was to send us a warning, that if we continued to live our lives the way we do, the destruction of the planet was assured. 25 years later, ‘Shooting the Tribe’ takes us back into the jungle of the Sierra Nevada, to understand why it is they, not us, whose way of life has changed.

IF THESE WERE SILENT
Dir: Paul Hinson | USA, 2013 | 10 mins
An optically printed landscape of a mountain in northeast Pennsylvania. Shifting horizons, kaleidoscopic trees, and passing hikers meet shifting frame lines, changing frame rates, and optical effects in a phenomenological exploration of the interanimation of thought
and landscape.

GOTLAND AND THE INFINITE WHISTLE
Dir: Juliacks | France, 2012 | 9 mins
Gotland and the Infinite Whistle is the culmination of a performance shot in the summer of 2011 at Almedalen Week—a rock festival for politics in Gotland. This film shows the de-evolution of the fantasy group-mind in and around the totem—The Infinite Whistle.

CASSETTE
Dir: Jerker Beckman & Tomas Stark | Sweden, 2013 | 5 mins
A dream-like film where a woman visits a rural house to listen to an old cassette-tape recording. Objects are charged with memories and loss, and an improvised ritual is needed to move on.
