Jorge y Valdés go for a walk *

Barbara Benas, USA, 2009

A delightful hand-drawn animation about a man and dog who share a passion for dance. It’s retro-techno style is suited perfectly to banjo music by Kid Koala. Don’t blink or you’ll miss it!

Donna Kuhn, USA, 2009

Animated, pixelated, split-screen, distorted self-portraits – from concrete to more abstracted – morph digitally to the cheerful strains of “don’t touch me tomatoes.”  For more information on what the title means, try the website of this self-professed visual artist, poet, and choreographer.

Tatyana Tenenbaum, USA, 2009
Animation, travelogue footage, puppetry and a wide-ranging soundtrack are collaged into a chronicle of isolation. A semi-autobiographical, impressionistic “retelling” of the classic movie, it ends with a figure running into infinity.

Greetings from Hell

Alessandro Amaducci, Italy, 2008

Set to music created by Amaducci, this filmmaker’s vision of hell includes mannequin-like figures, flames, a solar eclipse and vogue-ing.  As the figures break free of their sharp movements and move into a state of liquidity, they collapse one by one. Strike a pose!

Dope Zepp, USA, 2009

Sexy animations and psychedelic transitions characterize this Second Life video. Dope dances the night away amidst the cosmos while the pixel angel flits in and out of the frame leading the viewer on an astral journey.
