An average student in average small-town America, inspired by the astronauts she saw on TV, Eileen Collins nurtured a secret dream to fly to space herself. In the 1970's the US military selected women pilots for the first time, and Eileen became one of those daredevil test pilots. Proving herself in this man's world, she then inspired thousands of others when she became NASA's first female pilot of a space shuttle. SPACEWOMAN will show Eileen's experience of the epic violence of a space shuttle launch, a historic docking with a Russian space station, and follow the dramatic tale of one of the most perilous and important missions in the history of space travel. It also tells the very human story of a family, examining the tough background that made Eileen a woman who could manage fear and take command, and as a mother, guide the journey of her own family alongside her extraordinary and risky endeavors.

Junkies on a Budget (JOB) is a completely new approach to making a ski movie, utilizing the latest technology and most importantly scouting out the best film and freeski talent throughout Europe. The goal of the ongoing JOB project is to find and bring together the latest and greatest filmers and freeskiers every year, combining their talents under artistic direction, and creating a boundary breaking ski movie. The movie won the "Coup de Coeur" at iF3 2012 in Montreal and "Best European Movie" at iF3 2012 in Annecy! The team at JOB then created its own plotline—a story of a lost alien who crashes into a snowy tundra, which should be cheesy but ends up being funny and well-envisioned—and wove the five winning teams’ final edits together to create an interesting, action-packed 40-minute film. As a result of the unique locales and talent to each crew, In Space brings a level of diversity to the table that other films can’t match.

The film utilizes footage produced on unique analog equipment from the early history of video during a residency at Signal Culture. Virtual landscapes pumped through the analog system become caught amidst sets of “meaningless” signs/ barriers and violent signals. Computer generated bodies and body parts glistening with video material generated via this system perform actions that queer the line between digital, physical and analog, homoeroticism and violence––entangled in a fragmented high-modernist grid. A voice from the other side of the signal attempts to lure the viewer into crossing over, only to be perpetually interrupted by barriers of interference.

The film offers a glimpse into the life of five vampires as they travel through space, carrying life to a faraway Earth-like planet. After all, in space it is always night and, having eternity at their disposal, vampires are the ideal candidates to roam the stars. In their solitude, away from societal constraints and expectations, this family of vampires recalls and reimagines their past lives, guiding the visitor through an open-ended narrative about the role of fiction in our lives, and in particular in lives marked by gender dysphoria or transgender experiences.
