Moon|Rabbit(en)

A meditation on the Moon as a series of spheres melting away. The audio-visuals are synchronized via a repeated glitch process: the same values that databent the visuals are also used to change the base audio samples, creating a translation between a visual glitch and an audible one, even though in the final presentation they seem entirely different.

Orbit(xx)

The sun’s energy circulates throughout the earth, feeding the cycle of life. Everything is connected in a natural loop, which repeats, like the circular discs of magical optical toys. This perfectly balanced rhythm is disrupted by human excess, throwing the cycle out of orbit and temporarily stopping the circulation of energy in nature.

Series 4(en)

This experimental short documents the clash, sometimes obsessive, sometimes glorifying, between humans and their mechanized environment. Using photographs, the animator creates varying perspectives through optical manipulation and changing colour, achieving bold and provocative effects.

With the aim of finding Desire, so-and-so performs a ritual to go down in the depths of himself.

Study No. 9(de)

Rectangle & Rectangles(en)

This is a didactic film in disguise. A progression of brilliant geometric shapes bombard the screen to the insistent beat of drums. The filmmaker programmed a computer to coordinate a highly complex operation involving an electronic beam of light, colour filters and a camera. This animation film, without words, is designed to expose the power of the cinematic medium, and to illustrate the abstract nature of time.

Laguna Plena(es)

In a setting of natural plenitude, a mystical figure, embodiment of the feminine origin, encounters a wild horse with which she embarks on an ancestral journey of union with nature. An ode to purity, to harmony with the natural, to the pursuit of unbridled freedom, celebrating love in its most natural and raw form.

Deter & Oro(es)

Study No. 8(de)

An experimental short from Oskar Fischinger
