UNDER A BROAD GRAY SKY (5:00; San Francisco) by Thad Povey
Light and time seem frozen during the reading of a poem by Baudelaire. A mundane moment in an ordinary day is briefly transformed

TENIS MATCH (10:00; Prague) by Robert Ellmann; premiere.

Repression breeds fine lines.

WITCH BURNING (4:00; Berkeley CA) by Antero Alli; premiere. From the poem of the same title by Sylvia Plath, a serenely disturbing vision has inspired an idea about fire.

SUENOS (5:06; Arvada CO) by Judy Gardner This video is based on performance & installation work done at the University of Colorado while earning my Masters in Fine Arts & Theatre. I became intrigued with translating live work into the digital realm and this is the result.

THE DREAMER & THE DOER (6:00; Berkeley CA) by Sylvi Alli; premiere.
A polarity study. Moving images mark a distinction between two realms, inspired by an e-mail message from my partner in crime.

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INDESCRIBABLE (9:35; Pacoima CA); premiere.
by Stuart White and Ingrid Gilbert.
Just because we can make it perfect doesn’t mean we have to.

DAY OF THE DEAD (5:28; NYC) by Annette Weintraub
Day of the Dead contrasts the warmth of ritualized recollection of friends with the brutality of sudden meeting with violence on the street.

CIRCUS (5:00; Berkeley CA) by Roberts Blossom, Brih Abee There’s a politico-economic subtext; one of a series of performance poems.

THE SLANT (2:00; Jericho NY) by Sarah Lofti
Let text conjure emotions as only images as done before; voice & text by Ani Difranco.

SLEEPLESS MOVIE (3:30; San Jose CA) by Mark Haren
Stream-of consciousness poetry, traditional hand-drawn, and experimental animation techniques are combined to evoke the childhood nighttime fears, big questions and semi-random scattered thoughts of a sleepless night.

WATER PLANET (6:00; Oakland CA) by Bill Levinson
(No comment)

WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW (3:00; Sacramento CA) by Sean Christopher.
Rare raw bites from “All About Audrey”, Sacramento’s most twisted live variety talk show, where the often audacious and occasionally obscene always happens.
