Synopsis

Babeldom is a city so massive, and growing at such a speed that soon, it is said, light itself will not escape its gravitational pull. How can two lovers communicate, one from inside the city and one outside? This is an elegy to urban life against the backdrop of a city of the future, a portrait assembled from film shot in modern cities all around the world and collected from the most recent research in science, technology and architecture.

Synopsis

In the very waters where Melville's Pequod gave chase to Moby Dick, Leviathan captures the collaborative clash of man, nature, and machine. Shot on a dozen cameras — tossed and tethered, passed from fisherman to filmmaker — this is a cosmic portrait of commercial fishing as it's never been seen (TIFF 2012).

Synopsis

Evoking the still photographs that mysteriously punctuate his feature Two Years at Sea, Ben Rivers' Phantoms of a Libertine is an enigmatic portrait (channeling Marcel Broodthaers as much as Raymond Depardon) of a lost friend told through two sets of photographs-professional and private - and the objects that remain (TIFF 2012).

Synopsis

Reflecting on colour, the anthropology of noise, our perception of listening, Vivarta alludes to early optical film experiments with sound and visuals, sometimes called 'colour music' and plays with the experience of a persistence of vision.

Synopsis

The film depicts one of the world's most notoriously private artist, Lucian Freud. At the core of the film is a sequence that sees Freud and dancer, Amy Hollingsworth in a dance of reminiscence; as though she is a memory of the remarkable characters that have passed through the studio.

Synopsis

The Conundrum being, Do I live life my way or do I live life their way? The start of a new dawn finds David Yohannes Reeves asking himself this very question. It is a situation that requires some thought.

Day to day life often thrusts us into precarious positions; that is confrontations with unpleasant despicable people, encountering behaviour that is selfish or deliberately harmful. No matter how seemingly inconsequential and trivial this negative act is, it should be responded too. Surely? But then again, probably not. Is it really worth exacerbating this awkward and possibly stressful situation further that it might escalate into full-blown violence? Again, probably not. But never to act to correct what is wrong? Is that right too? This is the conundrum. The film is the statement.

Be concerned; be concerned by a man wearing fucking antlers.
