There’s a Dead Crow Outside

they

There's a Dead Crow outside. The flies are buzzing, and the raccoon is hungry.

AmLeftCrap
Mike Stuttman, NY, Animation, 5:29


AmLeftCrap is an animated collage constructed out of comic art, code-generated samples and assorted digital ephemera that is informed by both monumental and seemingly insignificant events in the world around us. The short film is a fragmented narrative set in a deprecated urban world populated by gritty, ink stained characters - where the banality of day-to-day existence is juxtaposed with an onslaught of media hyperactivity that shows no distinction between the news of the world, spring training and advertisements for things you need but don't want.

Old Man

In a cold, bleak field there lies a lonely scarecrow. But he won't be alone for long...

A girl walks through the woods, pulled forward by the promise of something waiting for her just around the bend. She is drawn to a clearing, a sluice between two ponds. Alone and uninhibited, she becomes entranced by the water. Her primal instincts take over as she loses herself in the gravity of the moment. Told through movement, 'Animal' explores the visceral and challenges the imagination.

Speed of Fencing
Holly Buechel, New York, NY, Experimental, 3:00, Brooklyn Premiere!

HR

Behind the bullet, the tip of a fencing blade is the second fastest-moving object in Olympic sports. 'Speed of Fencing' captures the grace and movements of New York's top epee fencers. In epee, the play between defending and attacking the whole body as target creates an intricate game of space and distance. Using high-speed photography, spectators will be able to see some of the fastest actions in all of sport for the first time.


This is Only a Test
Bill Sorice, New York, NY, Experimental, 8:50, New York Premiere!
