THE GARDEN (Patrick Müller, 2019)
Strange blossoms, sunken pathways, déjà vus: A hike through H. P. Lovecraft's most personal garden.
EIDOLON (Mike Rollo, 2020)
The seer passes beneath branches, crosses fields, observes the quiet corners of creation. Bright and dark take turns showing their faces, a two-sided phantasm, one energy shape-shifting through time. The seer makes note, gleans eidolons.

EKTADOME (Laura Trager, 2020)
A funfair at night. Dark forces present themselves in plain sight in this magical place of lights and colors.
EXPLOSE (Cendrine Robelin, 2020)
"Appuie sur le champignon" ("Push on the mushroom" which means in French, "Hurry up driver") speak out tipsy carnival-goers. Nuclear explosions, chains reactions in a delight mood. Party Goes on! Images and sounds are always ambivalent; landscapes can always turn from stability to oblivion. Carnival goers and explosions are faces of switchover. After the uproar, things roll again.
AFTER PAXOS (John Barlow, 2019)
A footage shot on and around the island of Paxos, Greece is juxtaposed with excerpts of black and white found footage from an old reel containing views of Tokyo, Japan. A sequence of short colour clips portray a journey from a house in the wooded interior of Paxos to the island's shoreline, and then out into the Ionian sea. They contrast with four, much slowed-down, black and white clips, and a multilayered soundtrack comprising city noise, air conditioning hum and air traffic control chatter.
HARMONIUM (Miles Sprietsma, 2020)
A document of the ethereal features surrounding oceanic bodies, the re-cycling of life and death through the constant flux of coastline.
