Conrad Veidt: My Life(en)

Massage The Tape(en)

The sophomore feature film by Stephen McCoy (NIGHTCRAWLERS) using audio and visual alone as a continued attempt toward creating a different kind of visual cinematic language and experience. No superficial action or violence, no dialogue or narrative. This is his swan song to the analog HI8 video filmmaking he fell in love with. This is a visual essay on loneliness, love, death and 21st century post-postmodernist voyeurism. This is not entertainment, enjoy...

Man: One Family(en)

The Bare Life(fr)

The bare life draws us into a hallucinating journey: from the incandescent set of a city under lockdown, with the rare survivors wandering aimlessly, to a hospital where the nurses and the patients carrying the virus are applying a daily ritual of life and death gestures. Antoine d’Agata transforms these opaque spaces into a theatre of shadows, freed from all pretences of reality, and obliterates the very surface of things, the skin of beings and the skin of the world, only to better reveal its tragic dimension.

The Wall(en)

Like the best USIA films, The Wall distills political events into an emotionally clear and compelling ideological "story". In 1962 Walter de Hoog gathered footage from U.S. and German newsreel sources and crafted this taut short film about the first year of the Berlin Wall. Straightforward, keenly balanced narration portrays Berliners as "accepting the wall but never resigned to it". The extraordinary footage of the first escapes was propaganda enough-- His challenge was to make the politics human.
