SP-09   Clipped! Animation, Music and Art

Introduction:

Intoxicate. Inspire. Surprise. A visual mix tape of animation, music and art: Besides innovative, animated music videos, Clipped! also shows short films from the industrial area and advertising. The idea was to make fluid transitions not only auditory, but visual - to homogenize diverse structures in appearance, narrative method, sound and clip techniques to a single unit and still allow for individual surprises. The absurd mingles with the banal, hectic color with low-key black and white. Low budget productions take turns with famous creations. 25 clips from ten countries.

To Long For

Director(s): Marc R. Wilkins

Germany / England, 2004

A soft and gentle, very poetic film. The pictures get their own soul, each gets a character. We hear them talk, whisper, shout. They seek and long for other pictures. Seeking just like people seek other people with announcements in newspapers. The pictures get into a row and finally find to each other for creating an emotional film sequence. By the usage of different voices and music a very lyrical sound is created. The target is to seduce the viewer into a longing and passionate world of pictures. Not just a poetic film but also a filmed poem.  more info
