Impressio in urbe #2 – Siracusa
by Giulia Mazzone, Giuseppe Spina
super8 / 2023 / Italy / 13’

Impressio in-urbe explores the textures of urban space: the materiality of architecture, perspectives of a city that you will never see. A breakdown of the city’s covering from which the torn, apparently immobile matter emerges. It is the trace that everything and every gesture leaves behind: an identikit (or vivisection) of the space and time of the city.
This film has been produced as part of the MADEprogram project (Siracusa)
Giulia Mazzone was born in Syracuse in 1980. Since 2010, she has been curating the international independent cinema network Nomadica, together with Giuseppe Spina.

Earth Water Motor II
By Markus Maicher, Cosma Grosser
16mm / 2023 / Austria / 3’ 22’’

Earth Water Motor II is the second part of a series concerned with landscapes, the cinematographic and other motors and the materiality of print film used in camera. The water landscape of the Wörthersee is traversed with the machine, the postcard romanticism broken up and reassembled into a new, abstract landscape. Filmed on Kodak Soundstock on an electric boat with two Bolexes, developed by hand on location and edited in camera. The sound was composed with an analogue synthesizer. The series began in the remote Bschlabertal in Tyrol and finds its continuation in Krumpendorf.

War Zone
by Dominic Angerame
16mm / 2024 / US / 7’

In War Zone, Dominic Angerame revisits his personal experience (like no other) as artist-in-residence, exploring a symbol that once stood for political, social and cultural divisions brought about and shaped by the Korean War, which are now more ambiguous, nuanced and multi-layered than ever. Filmed in the Korean Demilitarized Zone in 2005, War Zone commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Korean Armistice Agreement, documenting Angerame’s unique take on the history, geopolitics and present-day of the DMZ, which emerges as a complex site that goes well beyond its borders.
War Zone is one of Angerame’s most original and remarkable works to day, which offers an insider’s perspective on “No Man’s Land” and a rare glimpse into what life at one of the world’s most heavily fortified borders is like, revealing the intricate complexities of the area and capturing the tension that is still in the air.” — Kornelia Boczkowska, author of “Lost Highways, Embodied Travels: The Road Movie in American Experimental Film and Video. Dominic Angerame was the Executive Director for Canyon Cinema from 1980-2012. He has taught at several Universities in the Bay Area, as well at the University of Nevada/Reno.

Light of Light
by Neritan Zinxhiria
super8 / 2023 / Greece / 12’ 49’’

Before his death in 1932, a monk created his own camera in one of the most isolated places in the world. Nearly a century later, a filmmaker discovers and reconstructs the 3000 preserved photographic plates, blending them with his own evocative Super 8, crafting a cinematic pilgrimage, where the past interlaces seamlessly with the present, in a spellbinding visual narrative that defies the constraints of time itself.
Neritan Zinxhiria was born in 1989 in Albania. Director of "Chamomile", "The Time of a Young Man About to Kill", "A Country of Two"; having as a centre of inspiration the themes of loss and death, he continues to explore how the latter shapes our memory and culture. His latest short film "Light of Light", a Slamdance Grand Prix Winner, was nominated for a Tiger Award, having its world premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.
Adventures in Perception
by Dave Johnson
16mm / 2023 / Canada / 2’ 40’’

This film is a collision of images combining a visual and auditory adventure while talking about being an artist and the process of making this film…Or any film! As a filmmaker you are going through various adventures trying to assemble a unique and intriguing combination of visual and auditory stimulation. Sometimes the process of creating the film becomes flawed and your original intent inevitably becomes something new. In the end, does the film become a success or “the dream I tried for that couldn’t be realized”?
The process of this film is a “print film”. The artist uses bi-packing and multiple exposures of found images and sounds. The found images and sound are sourced from previously existed films “Adventures in Perception” based on an educational film about M.C. Escher. The second film is an educational film based on sound “Frequencies and Vibration. Dave Johnson is a Canadian educator, artist, and advocate for analogue mediums. His emulsion-based practice focuses on experimenting with documentary techniques, process cinema, expanded cinema and sound design. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally as an individual and as a member of the Windows Collective, Lightproof Film Collective and RawStock Collective.
Deep 1
by Philip Hoffman
16mm / 2023 / Canada / 15’


Filmed from 2020 - 2022, processed and decayed with hyacinth & lichen extract, this filmed diary is built on a sustainable practice: images and the imaging making process evolve out of "a complex material engagement with an eco-system that draws out the expressive possibilities of living things beyond conventional forms of representation". (Kim Knowles)
..."one of the few contemporary filmmakers whose work provides a bridge to the classical themes of death, diaspora, memory, and finally, transcendence." (Martha Rosler) Philip Hoffman has received numerous awards including Ann Arbor Film Festival’s Gus Van Sant Award and the Governor General’s Award in Canada. Since 1994, has been the Artistic Director of the Independent Imaging Retreat (Film Farm).

by Deborah S Phillips
16mm / 2023 / Germany / 9’

My mother, Carol Frieda Herman P. Hirsch, Chaya bas Moshe ve Yehudit, died on June 23, 2022, at home, the way she wanted her last weeks to be. Self-determined, surrounded by majestic trees outside the windows, with birds chirping in the background. With her books in shelves where she could see them. Even when she lacked the energy to read, she was glad to have those books near her. And she enjoyed the smells of good food, her music and other simple things as long as it was possible.
The choice to use film material that was way past its sell-by date corresponds with how, as one approaches the end of one’s life, things fall apart, gradually. A tribute.
