Look inside the ghost machine, 4' / 2012
"The early avant-garde filmmakers believed that the cinema had the function of a machine, made to generate pure feelings." Some of the Sensations, 5' (with Bori Máté) / 2017 This film examines the relationship between the 1950's movie gimmicks and the contemporary blockbusters through the synesthesia of the classical abstract cinema. "Bay’s highest inspirations are those of a virtually experimental filmmaker of pure sensation; the rush of sensation is also a temptation for experimental filmmakers who often don’t keep their own images onscreen very long (cf. Stan Brakhage)." (Richard Brody, The New Yorker) Polaroids, 13' / 2015 510 On a sleepy morning Eduardo Kac, Professor of Biology, cross-fertilized his own DNA with that of the petunia. No Signal Detected 3' / footage / 2013 Rhytmical combat of digital and chemical decay. Pure Virtual Function / 35mm footage / 3' / 2015 Pure Virtual Function is an abstract meditation on the representation of violence, the connection of virtual and real agression. The film was made from painted 35 mm film strips and sound recording from Iraq war. Nutrition Fugue 04' / 35mm found footage / experimental / documentary / 2018 "Közért" (translation: "for the public") was a government owned chain of stores in Hungary, during the communist era (1948-1989). The word Közért is still used in the Hungarian language. Our film was made from the 35 mm celluloid raw footage of its advertisement: the film strips were digged in the soil, rotten with food and cut up in pieces. The Philosophy of Horror (Part I): Etimology by Péter Lichter, Bori Máté / 8:00 / 35mm / exp / 2019 The Philosophy of Horror is a seven-part abstract adaptation of Noël Carroll’s influential film theoretical book of the same title (published in 1990), which is a close examination of the horror genre. Our film uses hand painted and decayed 35mm film strips of the classic slasher movie A Nightmare on Elm Street (Wes Craven, 1984) and its sequel A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985). |
