Arthur’s Curatorial Debut

Echo Park Film Center

Film & Video 825 is pleased to host an eclectic selection of films and 
videos created by a diverse group of artists and filmmakers from around 
the US and Europe.  These short works comprise a myriad of genres 
including: Performance, Computer Generated Animation, Conceptual, 
Experimental Narrative and Mockumentary.
 
It is the ongoing mission of Film & Video 825 to provide a forum for 
presenting experimental film and video in Los Angeles. In a city 
dominated by Hollywood, programs such as ours become a necessity for 
artists working in time-based media that is outside the mainstream of 
narrative cinema. Our curatorial vision is open to both shorts and 
features in experimental, performance, animation, and documentary 
forms. We are pleased to be collaborating with the Echo Park Film 
Center for this important showcase.


Program Includes:
Robert Seidel, Jena, Germany: 
_grau - Honorary Award / Kunst Film Biennale 2004 (Cologne, Germany) 
for “Technological mastership which is used to show never seen 
phenomena in the borderland of science and aesthetics.”  Memories of a 
car accident, where past events emerge, fuse, erode and finally vanish 
ethereally. Various real sources were distorted, filtered and fitted 
into a sculptural structure to create not a plain abstract, but a very 
private snapshot of a whole life within its last seconds.
 
Andre Silva Iowa City, IW: 
The One & the Many - Actors mimic, in split second fragments, a 
pre-recorded monologue based on 17th Century philosopher Gottfried 
Leibniz’s ponderings.
 
Nate Larson Chicago, IL: 
Five Explanations for a White Spot on a Grey Floor - A white spot 
appears on a grey floor. Five possible explanations are presented.
 
Justin Cooper Chicago, IL:
Large Gourd - An absurd performance/video that explores issues of 
control through behavior that is in direct opposition with broader 
cultural mores and the results of that conflict. 
Yeti and Ben - Another absurdly wonderful performance/video, this one 
involving two opposite forces struggling to communicate with each 
other. 
 
David Baeumler Cambridge, MA:
Kuboa, I Cannot Understand You and Rain - These three shorts feature an 
Ordinary Norwegian Ghost, a philosophical Tape Recorder, and a woman 
falling out of a clear blue sky onto a West Virginia parking lot.
 
Kristin Skees Tucson, AZ:
Wrapped - A conceptual/performance piece in which yarn is used as a 
metaphor for the creative constraints of a wedding ring.
 
Jonathan Gitelson Chicago, IL:
What Does It All Mean? and The Quitter - A good (also old) question 
asked (or answered?) with a pair of tennis shoes, and Jonathan’s last 
cigarette.
 
Sachiko Hayashi Atvidaberg, Sweden:
boop-oop-a-doop - Addresses creation of identity, media culture, and 
our desire to be somebody else through the
juxtaposition and mixing of two cultural icons, one real, Marilyn 
Monroe and one imagined, Betty Boop.  Music by Magnus Alexanderson.
 
Sarah Stolar Pleasenton, CA:
History - The psychological traumas and spiritual triumphs of one young 
female, told through an experimental mix of
DV, 16mm and Super 8 film.
 
Will Forrester Denver, CO:
Move Toward the Light - The world from a child’s point-of-view, though 
not through a child’s eyes. Arrived at after a lengthy process of 
experimentation, including digitally painting frame by frame.  Music by 
the filmmaker.
