Turn back the clock and return to a year lost to time. These eclectic films were slated to screen in our festival last year, which would have been WRIF’s “return home,” to the historic Brigg’s Opera House. This year, these films come to your homes, and promise to surprise, inspire, and befuddle in ways singular to each. These three films are refreshing and ecstatic, bold in their approach, prescient in their content, and utterly independent. They are WRIF, through and through, then, and now.
Experiments in perception are being conducted in a wonderland of damaged images. It has to be lived once and dreamed twice commences with white noise and machine droning, gray video static and colorful distortion artifacts – in essence, with the beauty of electro-magnetic interference signals. Rainer Kohlberger conceived his work as a post-apocalyptic science fiction film, its story unfolding after the sixth great mass extinction has succeeded in wiping out the human race. A civilization of replicants bioengineered by Homo sapiens before they died out is now taking over the otherwise uninhabitable earth. A murmuring voice off-screen attests to this while reporting confusion over its own genesis and existence, time and again inundated by Peter Kutin's multifaceted sound design.
