Event and murmur: modulating attention through channels, like shifting through radio, can reveal signals in noise – the basis for "frequency hopping" cryptography, which gives the logic for mobile networks. At the beach, networks fail, we hop waves, acumulate dead time, roam. ( Super8 films shot in the 1970s and processed only in 2020.)

Join Lucy as she embarks on a spiritual journey to Mars in this psychedelic short film full of music and mischief.
Seeing himself as a form unable to experience intimacy, he is given the chance when brought to the household of twin sisters.
Indifferent landscapes, refracting light, some lonely bird and the window to the sebum-laden living room made of patterned wallpaper and trivialities. Cut. Tenacious sequences inflate moments to cliff-hangers and shatter their tremulous spectatorship.

Feinstein's "Spring and Winter" explores themes present throughout her oeuvre. The narrative is derived from Giambattista Basile's "Sun, Moon, and Talia" (1634), which is considered the original version of the "Sleeping Beauty" story. Fairy tales, kitsch, and the intricacies of femininity commingle as Feinstein performs as a paper doll, maiden, and crone. The spaces between the dichotomies of fiction and reality, young and old, sexual and pure are disclosed within the scope of feminine identity within this film.
Utilizing super 8mm and an economical shooting method of quick, short shots building idiosyncratic rhythms via rapid editing techniques, time, nature, and even the body folds in on itself.
