Bedridden - Sean Reynard (6’14” DV, UK)

Intraference / The Comet Suite - Barry Hale, Dan Powell (2011, 6’ DV, UK)
Intraference harnesses the chaos of simple feedback loops or isolates the inherent noise within audio-visual equipment, amplifying and manipulating it to create a coherent signal.
‘The sound is loosely based on 20 of the periodic comets. Although I can't pretend that any of the source material actually comes from the comets themselves, they were my inspiration for producing 20 1min 30s pieces using found sounds in my studio, broken musical instruments and heavily processed sine waves. All the audio was processed in Audiomulch on an ancient laptop.’ www.thresholdstudios.tv
Fire Lice - Alistair Strachan (2012, 11’ Super 8 mm DV, UK)
This project began with some rather dull and washed out footage of earwigs crawling up the inside of my tent, taken last year whilst camping at Supernormal festival. I ran the insects through a filter to enhance their blobbiness and was excited by the outcome. I then played around with some woodlice, fireworks and flowers, exploring how I could transform footage I had previously been nonplussed by. The footage used is a mixture of old Super 8 reels I shot over 20 years ago and recent videos of day trips and afternoons on the allotment. For the soundtrack I used my old Korg MS10 synth and other sounds I have collected over the years.
Mam - Sean Reynard (1’18”, DV, UK)
A nagging mother with a facial hair problem in her kitchen complaining and moaning about her bone idle son of hers.
Sean Reynard considers himself neither Artist nor Filmmaker, he hovers menacingly somewhere in between.
He made the transition from making sound installation/sculpture and improvised music, to concentrating solely on making short films. However, his sound-related background plays an important role in his film making. His intuitive approach gives the films a raw and spontaneous feel, allowing room to explore the dynamic tension between a variety of different characters. Dark undercurrents develop out of seemingly normal situations, bringing out the absurd in everyday life.http://www.funnyordie.com/run_run_reynard
