Train Watchers by Agung Nugroho Widhi (Indonesia) DV, 60'', 2009 This video was shot at an empty field next to Lempuyangan Station in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Many people, especially parents with their children come there towards the evening, spend their time just to see the trains passing by. In a way, it looks like an incidental amusement park and a kind of alternative/ cheap way for (family) picnic. http://statusavailable.blogspot.com |

Into Daylight by SJ.Ramir (New Zealand) DV, 5', 2009 Into Daylight uses geographical landscapes as metaphors, to explore the notion of metaphysical journeys made across landscapes within in the mind. Classic cinematic devices such as short vignettes and slow pans are used in combination with a lulling soundtrack, until a change in atmosphere occurs, and a lone ghost-like silhouette is revealed to be 'making passage' through the mountainous Pass. www.ramirfilms.co.nz |

Westcoast by Ulu Braun (Germany) HD, 7'20'', 2009 Westcoast is a panorama-video consisting of interweaved scenes mounted on a coastline - somewhere between Rotterdam and Sydney. Starting from a bubbling primordial soup the view pans along a waterfront in the style of a late transnational financial eclecticism and passes mystical spots such as a giant hippo eating carrots and hectically spinning rubber boats. After a dark spiritual waterway recalling Hieronymus Bosch atmospheres, the panorama ends in a cave with refuse-Jacuzzi in which a white woman gazes about herself melancholically. www.ulubraun.com |

Stone on Stone by Rob Carter (USA) HD, 7'44'', 2009 This stop-motion video animation uses the architectural language of High Gothic and Modernism to invent a contradictory history of their evolvement. The theme begins and ends with the vast, but unfinished Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine, located on the upper west side of Manhattan, New York. www.robcarter.net |
