Releasing Human Energies Mark Toscano
Releasing Human Energies brings to life an iconic image that has come to symbolise the human face of disappearing analogue film culture, in the shape of an old-fashioned instructional on human capital and profit maximisation. Voiced by film artist Morgan Fisher. USA, 2012 | colour, 16mm, 1:1.37, 6 min, English
Film for Blind Poet
Glauco Mattoso, a blind sadomasochistic poet, agrees to participate in a documentary about his own life, but the conditions he imposes raise difficulties for the work of the young director. In an ambiguous way the film reveals the fine line between high literature and fag-end vulgarity. INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE

Twice Over Simon Payne

Two Russians in the Free World Erik Moskowitz, Amanda Trager
Simon Payne’s Twice Over features layers of re-filmed video, from which the texture and noise of analogue decay, combined with the artist’s authoritative colour mixing, recalls antecedents such as the work of David Hall and Paul Sharits but allows the piece to enter a territory of its own. INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE
UK, 2012 | colour, video, 12 min, no dialogue
A dialogue between two men which poses a deeper question: Why and for whom do artists create? The narrative telescopes out to include the story of its own making, as the artists depict themselves debating plot-line and meaning as well as the virtues (or lack thereof) of their collaboration. Wonderful. WORLD PREMIERE

Persian Pickles
Jeff Desom
Jodie Mack
Fitting epilogue to Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 classic with a reconstruction of the actual view on the courtyard, created using modern technology. An all-encompassing image littered with plot elements. Winner of the Golden Nica at the Ars Electronica festival.
During the psychedelic 1960s, paisley patterns – originally Iranian – became immensely popular. In Persian Pickles, Jodie Mack ups the ante by editing the colourful motifs on 16mm into a dazzling visual experience. Highfrequency cut and paste.
