After Universe
Mita Sichetti, 3’27’’, Italy, 2016.
Synopsis> The atmosphere of the music video is between dreams and blues, with colorful and sometimes cryptic animation. It’s just the input to a free interpretation of the audience: an evocation, through the two female figures, representing the “essence” of the earth and moon, tied together by the voice over and humanized only for a projection.
A presence of a life linked to the matter throughout the pure essence, on the notes of a bit bored version of the universe.

Gudbjorg Hlin Gudmundsdottir, 5’10’’, Iceland, 2016.

She has collaborated with other artists in creating interactive installations like Reversed Liturgy (2011) but also done solo works like the claymation video piece Fantasy on Sarabanda (2016).
Synopsis> A visual fantasy in claymation on the movement Sarabanda from J.S. Bach’s D-minor partita for solo violin. The piece is a video of an animated sculpture which interprets the expressions in the music like in a ballet, pantomime or a silent film. J.S. Bach’s music is loaded with deep thoughts, allegorcally hidden messages and strong emotions but in a very modest and distant way. Bach´s personal detatchement from his works create freedom and opens up a world of possibilities that are the inspiration to this claymation piece.

Synopsis> [ Sakura]:vidéodanse of Japanese inspiration
Symbol of the short-lived and the revival, the sakura is the cherry tree or the plum tree in Japanese. The dance of the cherry tree often inspires soloes of dance traditionelle or contemporary.
With a “sakura” animated dancing, by inspiration “awa”, the video director wishes to pay tribute in the wisdom and in the timelessness of this ancestral culture.
Marianne ML reinterprets this period by playing on dichotmies around an axis, in the passages of the black to the white, the somber in the light. A dance awa in a celestial body moving, with cyclic sets on the trâce, the appearance or the disappearance of the silhouette.
The dancer turns around a point of fragile ground balance, just like the period of blooming / falling of blossoms here dissected and subjected in slow down. Petals appear and give rhythm to seasons between period of blooming. Trâces is born between the movement of the figure and their flows. The time is sometimes imperative to the detriment of the dancer.
As the myths and the legends, the vidéodanse Sakura invites in the interpretation and in the reverie/
What dances here is a poetic and social metaphor. The work rejoind the Zen philosophies and the samurai: prepair in face the life, with its accomplissemens, its dark sides and its plenitude in the revival/
The original sound track mixes contemporary traverse flute and electronic music. It pays tribute to the Japanese composer Michio Miyagi and his work ” Haru no umi, the sea of spring “, Inspired by instruments the sakuachi and the koto.
Inkal translates here the harmonies of the piece by working only from the sound material of playing of the flute (melody, blows, clétage).

Uniquely skilled as a bass saxophonist, the prowess and versatility Nick displays on the instrument has been praised as “[b]eautiful harmonies [singing] in contrast to mysterious knockings and hums, and finally to ungodly, soul-shattering blasts” (Shepherd Express). His forthcoming album, Rushing Past Willow (August 28, 2016 on INNOVA Records), fuses all of these facets of Nick’s work, and displays self-composed works for alto, tenor, and bass saxophone.

Synopsis> Finding order among Chaos, Leafless Against the Gray Sky derives its title from a quote by Gert Eilenberger, a German physicist, who pursued research in nonlinear science. The quote reads:
“Why is it that the silhouette of a storm-bent leafless tree against an evening sky in winter is perceived as beautiful…The answer seems to me, even if somewhat speculative, to follow from the new insights into dynamical systems. Our feeling for beauty is inspired by the harmonious arrangement of order and disorder as it occurs in natural objects…”
Leafless Against the Gray Sky finds beauty in the navigation of order and disorder, utilizing chaotic, yet natural patterns in both the film (ink in water) and in the score (multiphonic and overtone production on bass saxophone). This raw and meditative tapestry was composed, filmed, recorded, edited, and performed by Nick Zoulek.
Little Party Queen
Etienne Fu-Le Saulnier, 3’08’’, France, 2016.
Cinematographer based in Paris, I work in the areas of fiction, clips, publicity, and documentaries.
Early on in my youth, I was fascinated by sketching and painting. Thus, when the time came, I attented the Beaux-Arts of Versailles. There, I quickly turned my attention toward photography, getting the basics down by working with a pinhole camera. From the start, then, I studied the elements of composition and lighting, with a constant interest in the esthetics of this medium. Later, I underwent training in the image department of a film school. After a few internships at camera rentals or as an electrician on set, I quite rapidly found work as an assistant camera. In this capacity, I have been able to work with directors such as Agnieska Holland, Völker Schlondörff, Whit Stillman, Agnès Jaoui, Rémi Bezançon… Cinematographers such as Michel Amathieu, Lubomir Bakchev, Antoine Monod, Phil Méheux… I’ve also had occasion to work as director of photography, in tandem with my activity as assistant camera. Currently, I’m a member of a collective of film-makers, Studio Lambda, which gives me the opportunity to work as cinematogapher or director.
