Clément, a young entrepreneur, is a happy father: married to the beautiful Alex, he is also the happy father of "Petit-Bonheur", his son. Despite his 30 years, he can't live without his father, Paul, a musician and widower, with whom he has a very close relationship. In addition to this exclusive relationship, the latter also takes care of his grandson on a regular basis. Two points which are not without provoking a certain jealousy in Alex. One day, "Petit-Bonheur", under Paul's care, falls down a staircase. At the hospital, where the child undergoes X-rays, Clément can't stand the wait for the exams and reprimands his father harshly. After this incident, the news is fortunately good: "Petit-Bonheur" has nothing serious and finds with joy the arms of his parents. Clément then realizes that his father has disappeared.

This Super 8 film was first presented as part of a ritual performance where Saragosa is naked and pulls a white piece of fabric out of her "yoni", pinning it up and projecting the film onto it in reverse, while speaking the words on the film. The performance was part of a collective recreation of Carolee Schneemann’s ‘Interior Scroll.’

This is not a Rockumentary. You can’t sell 1000 tickets to a show and then make a Rockumentary. No one cares. But what if you and your best friend had spent 5 years playing in the middle of the mall a few blocks down from the venue? What if you had spent 10 years chasing down the version of yourself you felt you could become, but never did, until now? What if for 90 minutes you DIDN’T feel like no one was listening ... like for the first time in your life the experience matched the potential and you had actually achieved something that matched the goal you set for yourself in high school? You still shouldn’t make a Rockumentary, and you might consider changing your goal. In this 90 minute Live Show-Rockumentary-Fourth-Wall-Breaking-Future Hunt, Winterbourne’s dynamic live show is interwoven with moments between fictional ‘present’ Jordan and the camera, as he and James walk themselves through their own story in an attempt to make sense of it.

For over twenty-five years, John Porcellino has self-published his zine, King-Cat Comics & Stories, which, through simple artwork and storytelling, investigates the essence of just being alive. In King-Cat, John beautifully renders the "in-between moments" - those instances which occupy the bulk of our lives, but can pass easily without notice: Sitting on the front porch. Peeing at a rest stop. Watching a bird. With humor, compassion and a keen eye, John shows readers what they might be missing, and in doing so inspires many to embrace life more fully. Born of the zine revolution of the late eighties/early nineties, King-Cat today is the template for cartoonists who seek to create work that is personal, well-crafted and free of outside influence.

A satire about environmentalism and going green on the set of a movie production.

A group of friends sit around pitching ideas for an upcoming short film assignment. They go through different genres of film as they struggle to agree.

A furious scene, virtuously reassembled, continuously intensifying, yet never moving. A brief excerpt from Charlie Chaplin’s 'The Floorwalker' (1916) serves as starting sequence for 'Intermezzo'. Chaplin, fleeing from a monstrous pursuer, down an up escalator, which at the time was the epitome of techno mechanical modernity; on the side, a mannequin as statuary counterpoint. Pfaffenbichler arranges the takes that he has pulled from the original film, enlarged, and in part, set as negatives or alienated in terms of color, according to a special verse scheme: ABABA BCBCB DCDCD, etc., whereby the selected excerpt continually advances to the action and the interlinking of the images becomes increasingly dodgy.
