SHORT CIRCUIT PROGRAMME NIGHT TWO
May 9th 2015
The Night That Richard Cladstein Got Lost | Run Time: 7:07 | Director: Mike McCoy
An off-kilter coming-of-age story about a young man, Richard Cladstein, finding himself in a new city and having to break out of his routine to find his way home.
One Night in Florida | Run Time: 1:00 | Director: Tess Martin
A rollicking one minute journey through President Obama's July 2013 speech, in which he addressed the outrage caused by the trial of George Zimmerman. Zimmerman shot and killed an unarmed black teenager was acquitted of all charges.
Interstates | Run Time: 3:00 | Director: Jeffery Chong
Fleeting images, lasting impressions: a winter's drive through New England.
Rooftop | Run Time: 2:42 | Director: Judy Jheung
Rooftop is a three-channel video that explores private and public spatial experience from the sight of various viewpoints. By integrating multiple perspectives and shifting the time frame, the video installation creates a conceptual threshold that makes ambiguous the distinctions between factual and representational. Utilizing ordinary and common scenes, the work is rendered at once unfamiliar and uncannily familiar.
Under the Rainbow | Run Time: 11:44 | Director: Trish Garner
Under the Rainbow is a short documentary featuring Shawnee Gaffney, a queer high school student facing family rejection, hunger, and homelessness. After being thrown out of home, she finds herself couch-surfing with strangers and living a life of daily insecurity and vulnerability. It is through Shaunee's story of resilience, combined with insights from service providers and researchers, that we learn of the many root causes that contribute to the high incidence of poverty in queer and trans communities in BC. An inspiring film that provides hope for the future.
Robot Pavlov Sputnik | Run Time: 7:23 | Director: Oliver Hockenhull
This is a confluence of intent and a revisiting of an iconic animation by Norman McLaren -- "Synchromy" 1971. McLaren's "Synchomy" is an early form of machine art, a formal modernist gesture revealing & reveling in the immediate transparency of code and signal, a chimerical fantasy of speculative references--prophetic futurism reading itself, speaking itself.
Robot Pavlov Sputnik reinterprets and composits the morphic quality of code, its slippage and variability, creating a highly saturated abstracted wave ocean horizon/sunrise pulsed imagistcally by the musical track.
Secret Agent Problems | Run Time: 5:02 | Director: Tommy Campbell
They’re elite secret agents who trained for everything... but this.
Gord's Brother | Run Time: 15:00 | Director: Jeremy Lutter
Gord's Brother is set in a world where monsters and humans co-exist, and follows the story of Gord and his monster brother as they run away to find a new home and search for the fabled City of Monsters.
Jim Robb’s Yukon: The Exaggerated Truth | Run Time: 9:59 | Director: Andrew Connors
Jim Robb has been an artist in Whitehorse for 60 years and his illustrations of Yukon characters and landmarks have greatly influenced the Yukon’s idea of itself. His work was exhibited in a public art gallery for the first time in 2014. Surrounded by a collection that includes his early willow-framed moose-skin portraits made in the 1950s to his contemporary ‘exaggerated-truth’ watercolours, Jim tells his own story.
after FRÜHSTÜCK | Run Time: 14:05 | Director: Spencer Irwin
West German morning television program 'FRÜHSTÜCK' was a daily ritual and cultural bastion against more precarious elements of the Cold War Europe of the 1970s and 1980s. For a generation of viewers, 'FRÜHSTÜCK' brought mirth, motivation, and the morning meal with a zest and attention to detail befitting the very finest in artisanal Northern European craftsmanship.
