DEAR, WHEN I MET YOU
CRAIG SMITH | 2023 | 05:42 | US | 35mm
Dear, When I Met You is a meditation on how art can be both ephemeral and immortal at the same time.
Visually, the film begins with a badly deteriorating 1928 musical short and reworks it into something new by celebrating the beauty of the original film’s aging.
MANITULATION
ASTRID BUSCH | 2023 | 05:23 | GERMANY | 35mm
The specific manipulation of 35mm material creates a unique collage of scratched, cut and burnt images that have been treated with corrosive liquids, painted by hand and manipulated. In the magical chaos, an artificial intelligence partially explores and interprets the limits of the unpredictable and the destructive beauty. A fascinating interaction between analogue manipulation, planned chaos and AI.
