Passing Moment
Passing Moment is a short film in which the viewer is placed in a position of being a voyeur in which they observe consciousness looking in on itself. With ambiguous and sometimes tense imagery the viewer finds themselves lost in a void of emotion.

Sunwatersandbucket
On a beach near the Danube a bucket full of water will positioned. The bucket will be knocked down. A splash flows over the sand and looks for a way to the water. Because of the angle of view the qualities of this process can be seen. Extensions, course, glittering, ooze away, reducing. A narrative game with our perception.

You Can
Slowly, in a meditative mood, the camera investigates details of the interior of an old house. The water tap is dripping, a woman's hand is embroidering a table cloth and a lizard slowly crawls over a bowl of red berries. Trees, duckweed and brushwood alternate with scenes from the interior, describing the mood of a moment like a string of haikus. Bach's opening aria of the Goldberg Variations forms the frame of this 'associative editing' piece that bears references to Dutch painters Pieter Claesz ad Lara de Moor.

Forever for a While
A young woman enters a living room, moments later she is an elderly woman looking at herself in a mirror, or is a little girl sitting in a chair. Once in a while they seem to find themselves in the same space, which is otherwise populated by family members who are completely taken up with each other, while the woman is moving in isolation as if she is not really there, her gaze turned inwards.

Nur Noch 5 Minuten (Just 5 More Minutes)
A study of time in cinematic perception, Viennese media artist Gerald Zahn visualises 5 minutes by filming a person holding his breath for the duration of the film. In contrast with the casual disregard for mere 5 minutes in the film title, the film fills this period with significance. The emotional turmoil on the actor's face as he fights through every second on the stop-watch, making 5 Minutes a cinematic era of tension, impatience, doubt and expectation.

How To Explain It To My Parents: Arno Coenen
In How To Explain It To My Parents: Arno Coenen, multimedia artist Arno Coenen is sitting at a table with his father. Together they taste Arno's elf-brewed Eurotrash beer; followed by an attempt at a dialogue on how the brewing of beer can also be regarded as art. But ultimately, the conversation mainly tells us a great deal about the father-son relationship.

The Badger Series Episode 5
The Badger Series has issues and attempts, each episode, to resolve them. Recasting a glove puppet through his own present day sensibilities, Paul assumes the role of a kindly uncle mentor to a household of capersome woodland creatures. Mortality, self-sacrifice, depression, altered states of consciousness and transgressive art practices are all explored as part of their everyday lives together. Meanwhile the show is mindful to adhere to the traditional structural formulae, with entertainment numbers and routines appropriate to the scaled down sitcom world that they occupy. The series is equal parts moral instruction and narrative play, mediate through the forced fit of an experimental filmmaker as children's entertainer.

Inner Klänge (Inner Sound)
Kandinskij published one of his most important works, Klänge (Sounds). The general principle of Klänge was the liberation of the inner sound. One century later, Lemeh42 realizes a personal homage to this Russian painter. Inner Klänge (Inner sounds) is an animated journey to find the Inner sound.

02/60
The film is based upon the parallels between our perception of time, and the fundamental quality of time itself. By slowing footage to 2000 frames per second, the viewer is given a unique look into an unseen world, questioning not only our perception of time, but of the very idea of the natural, unchangeable forces surrounding us.

You and Me
"My work draws from sources such as performance art history, jackass and youtube and it is from these that I extrapolate the ridiculous, the futile and failure of actions or moments in order to create my work. These stimuli can either be used as a trigger or directly within the work, the videos always feature me, after all if one cannot make an ass of one's self then what is the point? Maybe it is I who is laughing at me, laughing at you, laughing at me."

Not Reacting to Something Horrific
This video comes from Sarah Harbridge's current project (March 2010) to attempt to make a piece of art each day, within her means: time, ability, cost.
