The "Rainbow express", one of Naïrobi’s many collective taxis, follows its daily itinerary. Discovery of one of these "Matatus", from its manufacture in Kariobangi by a local craft company, to the transport of its passengers, through its driver and billeter.
This is the portrait of a man of modest circumstances. Every morning, he gets up and goes to work in an office. Life is boring and monotonous, so he kills time with easy distractions after work to give a bit more meaning to his life.
After a miscarriage, Maruna stays in a secluded forester's lodge to regain her inner balance. Her husband tries to persuade her to come back.
In the 1970s, Val del Omar started to film frequently in Super 8. These reels, in the form of essays and notebooks, include the fabulous experiences with image and light that he investigated in his PLAT laboratory, and a series of private recordings (trips, holidays, portraits), that also include variations and experiments on his main themes (water, flowers, the Alhambra…). Transfiguring his most everyday reality, Val del Omar continued the revelations of its mecamystics: “The extraordinary is in the bowels of the everyday […] I feel as though I am submerged in a palpitating being. Logical chains enchain and imprison us.”
The sails are hoisted and, leaving the port, a sailboat makes us live its discovery of the sea. Subjected to the capricious mood of the weather, it sails sometimes under a burning sun to the incessant rhythm of the waves, sometimes faces the fury of the waves, then calm returns.
A provocative documentary about the emblem of today’s Tampere, the Näsinneula tower that looms over the city. The symbol for Super Tampere could be called as the mighty Super Sledgehammer. It plays an integral role in the film that deals with the city ruining the milieu, as does the music by Usko Meriläinen.
A documentation of Veeder's wonderful combination of gaming system and early image processing GUI.
A condensed version of twelve years of Super-8 film, partially shot in 16mm while projecting. A film diary or yearbook. Twelve years of filmmaking, twelve years of life as a filmmaker, carefully chosen and reassembled. People, places, interiors, and objects. Motion, active camera, brief shots, and exhausting the capabilities of the film camera.
A man, a tricycle driver, whose wife works in Saudi Arabia, takes care of the household chores and devotes himself to his children, the youngest of whom is mentally deficient.
Let's pretend that the friction between mono- and dicotyledonous forms (between, say, "lilies tulips the hyacinth" and "fruit blossoms the briar rose the passion flower" or, as here, English ivy) generates green. Partially computer generated. "What triangles do when no one is watching." - Andrzej Ehrenfeucht
A film made by the Tokyo Metropolitan Art High School Animation Club.
The Berlin rock group Passion presents their "Apple Song" and interprets it in a humorous way.
The exploration of pattern-making is based on a comparison of dynamic forms found in nature – reflections, wrinkles, or ripples – filmed in detail with a handheld camera, and shots of the texture of woven carpets and fabrics. It culminates in the performative action of wearing, drying, and mounting the material, perhaps a canvas ready for further creation.
