Du Cercueil
rémy huberdeau
Duration: 5:18
Du cerceuil is based on a dream involving Louis Riel, his coffin (located at the St-Boniface museum in Winnipeg), a transsexual body and a minefield of race, body and community politics. This footage was reprocessed first through filmed projection, then through a 1970s era video mixer. Du cerceuil is an excerpt from a 3-channel installation that will hopefully be up in the fall of 2007.rémy huberdeau is sometimes a video artist who works with documentary, animation and experimental forms, whenever the timing is right.

Papierschnitt
Julien Ceccaldi
Duration: 1:46

Julien Ceccaldi is a Montreal-based animator creatively dedicated to the absorption and recomposition of popular culture in unusual and unique ways. He is currently completing his second year as a film animation student at the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema.Papierschnitt is an ironic, ambiguous, wacky and colourful interpretation of what it is like to be in a cult. The film provides the audience with delightful, appealing visuals accompanied by an irresistibly catchysoundtrack by Montreal-based artist Nicolas Chausseau. The film experience might not be so pleasant for the followers of this merry cult, as they will learn at their own expense that even fun may come with a price.

a short work

DARKSUNOMG
Patrick Dyer
Duration: 9:47

I wanted to find an point where teen angst intersects with the sublime. I could not accept the responsibility of creating vision so I have inserted myself into a fabric woven together from the 'vision' of others. My character finds himself arguing through pop lyrics with a masked mirror image over webcam; emotionally stricken he succumbs to the overwhelm of his subconcious which manifests as a strange world that pulses to electronic rhythms and melodies.

here's some news

mix and mash creative commons uk

Mix&Mash Finalist- Kim Keilhofner
Kim Keilhofner is one of the three finalists of the Creative Commons UK film Remix Competition, Mix&Mash, with her entry:
'Hail the Faliure of Urban Planning'
- The three finalists receive a Avid Liquid Software Pack worth £309. - A screening of the films will be organised in the near future.- They will also be featured on Creative Commons UK.
To have a look at all the entries go to www.mixandmash.cc
We interviewed Kim to learn about his veiws on remixing and her inspiration for the film:
CCuk: When did you first become interested in Remixing?
Kim: I became interested in remixing in my video practice because I wanted to create a visual style that complemented my interest in literary and artistic traditions of pastiche. I am interested in how identities interact with culture, and remixing is a technique that addresses this question quite well.
CCuk: How did you pick the particular interpretation of your film?
Kim: I wanted to create a work that was very clearly constructed, I wanted to create a nice movement that built into intensity into a conclusion. I matched the images and soundtrack to do this. I contrasted the smoothness with "the shock of the moment" including sounds that are often harsh and the strong text. My interest in this comes from ideas about representation, what is possible to represent, and what comes of creating a representation of something abstract.
CCuk: Are you, or do you want to be, professionally involved in film making?
Kim: Yes, I do want to be involved professionally. I am most interested in developing my practice in experimental video/film.

Communiqué/Press Release:

STILL NOT HOLDING UP YOUR END OF THE DEAL
January 22-February 3, 2007
VAV Gallery
1395 RENE LEVESQUE W.
MONTREAL, QUEBEC
Vernissage: January 23, 2007 7pm

“It doesn’t really work like that; I make things naturally, progressively. Organically. They grow. They are not chapters, all set and already written. Those come later. Once the whole story has happened at least once.” –Romy Ceppetelli





Still Not Holding Up Your End of the Deal brings together two Montreal artists, Romy Ceppetelli and Kim Kielhofner, who have been collaborating together for three years. Using the sketchbook as the initial place for exercising communication, the artists have worked to create two unique bodies of work with these sketchbooks as their backbone. Starting with the simple premise of “taking up space” the work has expanded into a dense and intricate collection that extends beyond traditional art bounds. The books can be read as documents, records, maps, sketches and/or complete works in themselves. Through this practice the artists have created a personal iconography, history, and memory that is in constant conversation with itself and the world they inhabit. Still Not Holding Up Your End of the Deal is an exhibition of works inspired by this process. The exhibition will have a selection of the books, as well as new works including drawings, videos and installations. The vernissage on January 23, 2007 will feature a discussion of the work as well as performances by other Montreal artists.

Romy Ceppetelli; re-collecting

This work stems out of my collections; I collect the things that I feel are important and beautiful - the fragments of life, of my life and the lives of others. I am looking for what to keep and what to throw away, what to remember and what to forget. My process is one of building up and tearing down. I am interested in representing the cycles of things, the breaking and creating. Trying to figure out what comes after so much destruction and decay. We need to remember and forget, that is what humans do. Like skin, like paper, like metal. I want to expose the boundaries of things, to let things pass. To collect, to forget, to re-collect. Recordar: to remember; from the Latin re-cordis, to pass back through the heart.


Kim Kielhofner

Central to my way of working is the question, "what can you do with what you have?" -- using what I have around me to stretch my practice. My work is rooted in an everyday process, which allows my work not to be pinned down before it is created but rather is generated through the trajectories and strategies of everyday living. The process is an invention in which the self is put into social and historical processes, but not in a totalizing way. Through the repetitive practices of projecting the self into an overriding narrative, the self performs in a space that cannot be clearly identified. Collecting images everyday and letting the narrative elements collect is part of this process that allows for ambiguity and fluidity, allowing a collapse between self and other. The work invites an engagement, but also presents elements of a fragmented narrative, which asks, "What is really going on here?" In that question, one journeys through one's sensory perception and memory, horror and relief, violence and innocence, and the possibility that both sets of options are present.
