International Programme #7 – Digital Panorama
Friday 24 August 7pm

 

The digital realm continues to fracture and diversify according to the various delivery platforms our world offers. With digital animation increasingly available for download, on cel phones, even on plasmas in the back of taxis, there seems to be a resurgence of digitally envisaged works constructed very much with the big screen in mind. The detail, depth of field and full, resonant sound that are the unique qualities that only a cinema can deliver were the touchstones used in compiling this year’s Digital Panorama.

458nm
Jan Bitzer, Ilija Brunck, Tom Weber, Germany, 5'30
Fog has devoured the forest, which saw your quietest happiness…a natural scene rendered in shiny metal.

Faces
Hendrick Dusollier, France, 5'45
A twisted, spectacular piece of grotesquery focusing on a face trapped in a dangerous prison of the mind.

Moloch
Marcin Pazera, Poland, 7'15
A film of awe inspiring textures and intensely imagined detail presented as if through a cinema verite camera.

Immeasurable
Gergely Cziraki, UK, 7’40
A man seeks truth alone in a room but he encounters a bug - and then many, many more bugs.

Doll Face
Andy Huang, USA, 4'15
The haunting deconstruction of a digital/human/robotic face. A truly fascinating film blurring every technical and creative line.

Interstellar Stella
Al and AL, UK, 12’30
A child model, looking through the mirror of technology, glimpses the stellar course of her mystery.

Warped
Chokwah Man, Netherlands, 5’00
Probably the nuttiest film in the festival. A man going about his daily routine is slowly going insane.

Raymond
BIF (Fabrice le Nezet, Francois Roisin, Jules Janaud), France, 5’00
Raymond is a lazy swimming instructor who would like to discover the ocean.

Leviathan
Simon Bogojevic-Navath, Croatia, 14’40
Inspired by the book written by Thomas Hobbes written in 1651, where we inhabit a fantastical world of hundreds of jerky but smiling creatures.

Tyger
Guilherme Marcondes, Brazil, 4’30
A giant tiger mysteriously appears in a big city, revealing the hidden reality in an otherwise ordinary night.
