Tender by Christine Lucy Latimer
3' / 16mm / Canada / 2021

The transparent, holographic portions from Canadian dollar bills are contact printed on to 16mm film. A cameraless, dizzying closer look at the monarch, maple leaves and colonial structures that secure and validate our legal tender.
Christine Lucy Latimer is a lens-and-time-based media artist. She currently lives and works in Toronto, Canada.
Thousand cypresses by Luca Ferri
13' / Super8 / Italy / 2021

A man, inside his kitchen, is preparing his packed lunch. He has decided to visit The Brion Tomb, a monumental funeral complex, designed and built by the Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa, commissioned by Onorina Brion Tomasin, to honour the memory of the deceased and
beloved relative Giuseppe Brion, founder and owner of the Brionvega company, located in the small cemetery of San Vito, in the hamlet of Altivole in the province of Treviso.
Placing the food inside a polka dot plastic bag, we will find it walking inside the cemetery, observing with meticulous care the details designed by the Venetian architect,
while in its silent head will resound the precious words pronounced by the architect in a conference held in the summer of 1978.
Luca Ferri (Italy, 1976), self-taught, since 2011 has been dedicating to the writing, photography and direction of films presented to italian and international festivals.

Another horizon by Stephanie M Barber
9' / 16mm / USA / 2020

The horizon, where the sky and the earth meet, is always elsewhere, a promised place where these two elements come together. a metaphor, an orienting, a promise of transition, change, transcendence. A place where the corporeal and spiritual meet, or are cleaved apart.
Also, here, the space between narrative and documentary, fact and fiction, is scratched between two voices. Jayne love reads a text i wrote for her, short sentences on the concept of the horizon and the briefest suggestion of narrative collide with pieces of richard (oswan) williams' beautiful, rum-fueled living room sermons to me.
When i was twenty i lived in Richard and his wife mary’s apartment, the site of their voodoo spiritual temple in new orleans. of course, as priests and priestesses richard and mary spoke often of death, transcendence, ethics and health.
Our days were slow and filled with philosophical rumination, richard a brilliant old man schooling a young wandering wonderer. I recorded most everything on cassette tapes back then and some have made it here to the present. To this horizon we’re at now.
Stephanie Barber is a writer and artist who has created a poetic, conceptual and philosophical body of work in a variety of media, often literary/visual hybrids that dissolve boundaries between narrative, essay and dialectic works. Her work considers the basic philosophical questions of human existence (its morbidity, profundity and banality) with play and humor. Barber’s films and videos have screened nationally and internationally in solo and group shows at MOMA, NY; The Tate Modern, London; The Whitney Museum of American Art, NY; The Paris Cinematheque; The Walker Art Center, MN; MOCA Los Angeles, The Wexner Center for Art, OH, among other galleries, museums and festivals.
Self Portrait with Bag by Dianna Barrie
6' 05' / Super8 screens on 16mm / Australia / 2021

A camera-less portrait of the artist. Super 8 cartridges placed inside a black cotton bag, the film advanced via a hand crank. The tiny gaps in the fabric weave make for dozens (hundreds? thousands?) of tiny pinhole lenses.
Dianna Barrie found her way into filmmaking as a middle ground between abstract music and philosophy. She and her partner spend a significant amount of time each year touring their joint film programs and conducting workshops in hand-made film practice.
Self-Portrait by Federica Foglia
4' 14'' / 8mm found footage / Canada / 2021

Initially commissioned by Antimatter [Media Art}, this is a short self-portrait of the filmmaker, reflecting on her artistic practice and identity in the context of transnational migration. The piece is composed using several scraps of recycled 8mm orphan films of Canadian landscapes, mixed materials, ink and film cement
Federica Foglia is a transnational visual artist and currently a Ph.D. candidate in Cinema and Media Arts at York University of Toronto. She is interested in issues of immigration, citizenship and identity, displacement, women of the diaspora, migrant temporalities, and finding a visual language to investigate these experiences

From time without beginning by Lorenzo Gattorna
6' 40'' / Super8 + 16mm + 35mm / USA / 2021

'Death in Kashi is "liberation"'. – "Death in Banaras", Jonathan P. Parry, 199

Director Statement
My short films attempt to subtly expose and somewhat resolve sublime yet shocking encounters at the interstice of reality and the artifice born on the screen. I am totally in tune with moving images that embrace revisionist and remodernist perspectives. An affective engagement with the past, originating from such sources as literary fiction, personal distress, sacred traditions and home movies, fuses with the present concerns and/or modes of being of those entities on both sides of the lens.
Lorenzo Gattorna is a filmmaker, instructor, programmer and technician from New York.
He holds a BFA from NYU and an MFA from UIC.
His short films have screened at Analogica, Cámara Lúcida, CROSSROADS, CUFF, Echo Park Film Center, FRACTO, Image Forum, Microscope Gallery, MUFF, NYFF, RPM Festival, Transient Visions and ULTRAcinema.
He has programmed screenings for Anthology Film Archives, Antimatter, Maysles Cinema, Spectacle Theater, The Nightingale and UnionDocs. From 2012 to 2014, he was the co-director of Sight Unseen in Baltimore. Currently, he is a film/video technician and visiting instructor at Pratt Institute and a workshop instructor for DCTV.
Film Found by Claudia Munksgaard-Palmqvist

Look at a mistake that is not human. Be present in the uncontrollable intervention of the material. Between control and chance, surface and void a film will (perhaps) be found.
