I AM HIDING A POEM INSIDE OF THIS VIDEO AND THE POEM IS ABOUT WHAT THE VIDEO ISN'T (1.5 min.)

"The Night Gardener" (2008)
 The life of a garden after dark. (10 min)

Luke Sieczek SEATTLE
"Elsewhere" (2005)
The half-remembered spaces - the obscure but guiding motion of a secret history. (6 min)

Nancy Jean Tucker L.A.
"Kentucky Kingdown" (2008)
A natural disaster strikes a faceless population, bringing an infestation of bugs, drugs, and driving rain. An animated visual feast that defies gravity, logic, and camera angles - all from the point of view of a chicken. (6 min.)

Mallary Abel  S.F.
"Limina" (2010)
Perspectives are endless. Thresholds are always open. (3 mins.)

Ben Popp PDX

Robert Vaughn (the man from U.N.C.L.E.) vs. the void. (5 min.)


Dustin Zemel PDX
"More Please" (2009)
This video takes about 30 seconds of a Nancy Grace footage and stretches it to over six minutes. The first two minutes contain a stretched out bumper that normally lasts 10 seconds or so. I do this to emphasize both the intricate compositing television graphics artists achieve in addition to the textual emptiness and redundancy of the content. (6 min.)

Shalo P. S.F.
"Untitled"
New mad freshness from Shalo, I have no idea of what to expect except other than I know it will surf your brain matter.

Ron Mason Gassaway PDX

Andrew Klaus PDX
"Origin: Oceania" (2010)
addresses the nature of creation itself and the evolution of life from the sea citing varied sources including the Torah, Herodotus, Charles Darwin and Inuit mythology; both the modern conditions of technological evolution and the basic biological-geological evolution of the world and how they link our understanding of human origins." (3 min.)

Anthony Schilling PDX
"The Picture Dance" (2009)
Pure analog. This short film consists of many many 35mm film still photographs captured frame by frame with a 16mm movie camera, mixed with the animated subjects captured with just the movie camera. This experiment was designed to portray a journey of random people and places through the portals of photography. (2.5 min.)
Brian Libby PDX
"Pasadena Dreaming" (2009)
The snowy mountain view from my window seat during a New Year's Eve 2009 flight to Los Angeles, interlaced with split-second shots that represent my inner monologue of hope and fear. Music by Beauty Pill. (5 min)  

Matt McCormick PDX
music video for Eluvium: the Motion Makes Me Last (2010)
(5.5 min.) 

Jeff Guay PDX

In a wry homage to a seminal Northwest short, Crystal Lake explores the concept of “idea recycling.” (9 mins.)

Thad Povey "Martyr" (2009) 
Responding to images from the far side of our planet, this is a tribute to a woman who we do not pretend to know, meant to honor a culture that we do hope to understand.
Music - Mark Growden (3.5 min.)

Vanessa Renwick PDX
"Little White Horse" music video for Quasi
This video was made while I was enjoying a residency at Caldera in March of 2010
At Sam Coomes' request, I re-cut the "Red Stallion's Revenge" footage to Quasi's song " Little White Horse". That Sam Coomes had a good idea! Sam also did the mind blowing score for Portrait #2: Trojan. (4.5 min.)

Music video for Ramona Falls ""I Say Fever" (2009)
(3.5 min) 

Rob Tyler  PDX
"Ewok Karaoke"

Program 
* To learn more about the filmmakers click on the their names and peruse their webspaces.


Carl Diehl "Patrolling the Ether" (2009)
documents the work and interests of those fascinated by EVP or Electronic Voice Phenomena. These groups dedicate much of their lives to the detection of voices or images within what has become a rather electric atmosphere. (7 min.)


Andrew Klaus "Origin: Oceania" (2010)
addresses the nature of creation itself and the evolution of life from the sea citing varied sources including the Torah, Herodotus, Charles Darwin and Inuit mythology; both the modern conditions of technological evolution and the basic biological-geological evolution of the world and how they link our understanding of human origins." (3 min.)


Jesse Malmed "I am hiding a poem" (2009)
I AM HIDING A POEM INSIDE OF THIS VIDEO AND THE POEM IS ABOUT WHAT THE VIDEO ISN'T (1.5 min.)

This experiment was designed to portray a journey of random people and places through the portals of photography. (2.5 min.)


Jennifer Hardacker "The Night Gardener" (2008)
 The life of a garden after dark. (10 min)


Cat Tyc "Umbrella" (2008)
The Lady has plenty to deal with: an unexpected pregnancy, a string of appointments, parties to attend & people to see. But now, to top it all off, she is being followed around by a man around town who keeps hitting her over the head with an umbrella.  (12 min)


Kevin Forrest "Endommage" (2010)
A girl wanders the city streets in a haze and emotional state. The city around her is awash in electric colors and confusing sounds. What has happened to this attractive young lady? Has she come from a party? Is she lost? The truth is displayed in a glimpse into her world on an unexpected encounter with a seemingly 'normal' looking gentleman. (6 min.) 

Cassie Cohn "Ghost Shift" (2010)
A collaboration between Portland-based composer/musician Amy Hanson and video portrait artist Cassie Cohn, is an exploration of the bicycle in sound and motion. The project started two years ago when Amy approached Cassie about doing the visuals for a musical composition composed entirely of noise created with bike sounds and was made with support of the Northwest Film Center and a grant from Portland State University. This screening will be the premiere of the film in its finalized version." (5 min.)


Brian Libby "Crossings" (2009)
A montage drawn from numerous crossings of the Fremont Bridge in Portland, with music by Beauty Pill. (5 min)  


Matt McCormick music video for Eluvium: the Motion Makes Me Last (2010)
(5.5 min.)

www.streetroots.org


Gabe Van Lelyveld "Bars and Tone" (2009)
A short experimental film constructed entirely from a single image and sound frequency; the color bars and tone commonly used to calibrate monitors and speakers. (3 min.) 


Autumn Andel music video for Steve Kilby and Martin Kennedy: "All is one" (2010)
(4.5 min)

Dustin Zemel "More Please" (2009)
This video takes about 30 seconds of a Nancy Grace footage and stretches it to over six minutes. The first two minutes contain a stretched out bumper that normally lasts 10 seconds or so. I do this to emphasize both the intricate compositing television graphics artists achieve in addition to the textual emptiness and redundancy of the content.
The middle of the piece is the arbitrary, almost meaningless b-roll footage television news shows include for credibility purposes. (6 min.)


Lori-D "Listen" W/ Music by Paco (2009)
The song, and the animation, are a perfect reminder of how important it is - and how much fun it can be - to stop and listen to the things all around us. (1.5 min)


Liz Lewis "Bobby Beats" (2009)
A glitched out sonic mantra extricated out of the mouths of babes.
