Giuseppe Gagliano

A part of her Super 8 diary. A very personal work to live and survive, and an extraordinary, idiosyncratic portrait of a woman in the 20th century. 'A picture a day keeps the doctor away'

An intensive thriller student film - a one hit wonder. I never saw or heard from him again. The plot unfolds a magnetizing fascination that leaves the viewer stunned and irritated. The little masterpiece only needs 10 minutes to achieve this effect!
'And the next question is, where is the next film?'

'A man is crying on the corner of a street. His tears swiftly enfold the whole neighbourhood.' An extreme self-experience that overwhelms the viewer with feelings and pushes him emotionally to his limits.

The life confession of a Super 8 filmmaker ends up in a hopeless situation. But the movie goes on and shows us, with salutary self-irony, an ending that has washed itself out. I can never get away from this movie event without getting my feet wet, and am always deeply torn in both directions.

'To paraphrase something Lao Tzu didn´t say: This film´s an empty cup - You fill it up.' Exactly, and this requires the utmost concentration. A direct reward is left to the viewer.

A brilliant found footage piece, which rotates the found film scene through a glowing crystal curtain. The senses interweave with the rotating noises to create a moment of suspense in an extraordinary perception.

'An abstract composition of light and sound, in which the techniques and optics of cinema are not a means but an end. This impressive screen experience sends its impulses directly to the retina and into the ears. The reactions can be manifold, with what effects, everyone who dares to do so must find out for themselves.

A video essay that captures your attention from the very first seconds. A kind of highly tuned image conveyor belt that grabs the perception like visualized data streams of an increasingly complex world. After the acceleration, we land in a resting zone where the image particles are in an unsteady state. Gradually, the familiar recedes from our consciousness. A unique film experience has just taken place!

A real No Budget selfmade Classic made on VHS: 'The film follows the filmmaker in a mischievous journey of self discovery whose endeavours are thwarted by the constant interruption of reality.' The slippers are in a miserable condition.

The last visit to some screening rooms of now closed cinemas. Some 35mm film remnants (start and end tapes) are swept up and collected. These found objects are mounted together and sent on their journey one last time. Like a very late train leaving the station, it picks up speed once again.
