"Beatings Of The Devil" is based on the concept and weather event called sunshowers, or, as my grandmother would often say when it rained while the sun was shining, “The devil is beating his wife”. This wildly inappropriate, and outdated colloquial phrase, which resonated deeply within me as a child, provides a point of departure and interpretation for this work.Created through a series of shoots spanning over four years, the piece has evolved into a memorial to my mother, and a reckoning for my father, who recently lost his wife of 51 years.

Beatings of the Devil

A winner of the Deanna Tulley Multimedia Contest (Second Place), ‘Pursuit of Sadness’ is an audiovisual collaboration between Lea Wülferth, a writer and visual artist, and Derek Muro, a composer and sound artist, built around the following repeating words displayed on screen and interspersed with other images: he gets himself a balloon / he lets it fly away / he flees to the attic / he cries Born from a dream in which a friend said her 2 year-old son sought to experience the depth of sadness, it’s a simple story on its surface. But repetition changes it. We can’t get that initial pureness of feeling when we go through the same motions over and over. And eventually sadness may turn into a new experience, such as letting go. Over 7 repetitions we start to perceive the story differently as well, and as the soundtrack changes from literal to more abstract the immediacy of feelings fade, and we are left less with sadness than a feeling of peace and hopefulness.

Pursuit of Sadness

"To honor the memory of his father who passed away in 2019, Martin Del Carpio opts for the medium of film once again, and delivers his most lyrical work to date. At once deeply personal, carefully veiled in a delicate fabric of pure emotions, and absolutely immersive in its dreamlike, mysterious beauty, 'The Dark Forest' transmutes its author's innermost life into an admirable piece of introspective cinema. Opening with Dante Alighieri's quote which inspired the title, it takes the viewer on a short, yet transcendent journey through the bushes of symbols and trees of thoughts, in the company of a lovely (and cunning?) forest spirit embodied by Carly Erin O'Neil whose poise and grace translate as otherworldly." —Nikola Gocic

Collage 38.2 is an Intervention (construction / deconstruction), in the form of an audiovisual collage, on the film in the public domain: Of Human Bondage (1934) by John Cromwell-Collage 38 is one of the collages that is part of a broad experimental audiovisual research project that tries to explore, from the point of view of artistic-expressive activities, formal, structural, narrative and aesthetic issues. For this we intervene and construct variations, spatial and temporal, of mythical scenes from the cinema that have passed through the public domain. We modify its previous meanings, amplifying or varying its narrative value and its audiovisual aspect.

This is a proof of concept video for "Echo's Answer," a feature-length psychedelic reimagining of the life and legacy of Trish Keenan of Broadcast. Although Keenan died in 2011 at only 42, the enchanting world she created with her music, writing, and art lives on through her influence on other artists. This film is an answer to that echo.
