PERSONA, 3’

DIRECTOR: Diane Agatha
OVERVIEW: ‘Persona’ is a short film that illustrates how different levels of reality integrate into artistic performance, and how, through performance, the opposition between fictions and reality disappear. This film emerged through collaborative field work, following a contemporary circus company on tour in the U.K. The poem has been written for the film by the american poet, Alyssa Lyn Nickerson.

LONGING, 2.5’

DIRECTOR: Julia Schuster
OVERVIEW: The video ‘Longing’ shows a performance focusing on hands and expressing the desire to touch. Gestures of massaging and caressing are used interchangeably on a lump of clay to render desire and longing materially visible. Clay for its very physicality has the unique ability to capture the personal, the vulnerable. Its essence for me lies in the space in between the tangible and intangible.

PETER BLAKE - WORD MADE FLESH, 15’

DIRECTOR: Devlin Crow, Kennedy Crow
OVERVIEW: Documentary looks at the “Godfather of British Pop Art”, the pop artist Sir Peter Blake’s influences and beliefs. Words and images work together using innovative technology to create a unique portrait of the artist. The film attempts to create a sense of mystery towards the speakers indentity and to allow the audience to be taken away by the beauty of the word and how the persons speaks, using language his phrasing of words and his accent to paint a picture of his personal feelings of belief and influences.
