Harrachov
Matt Hulse & Joost Van Veen UK, 2006, 10 mins, videoCombining live action, stop-frame animation and a kinetic sculpture, Harrachov explores the effect of an arcane force that, like a black hole or immensely powerful electromagnet, exerts a far-reaching and irresistible power upon certain objects and materials, wilfully seducing, centralizing and internalising them. Extraordinarily, the beast the film creates actually exists, beyond the confines of the screen, as an impressive, fully functional kinetic sculpture – The Harrachov Exchange - designed & constructed by Guy Bishop.

Colour Fight
Len Lye, New Zealand, 1938, 4 mins, 16mm
Music "Honolulu Blues" by Red Nicholas and his Five Pennies. LEN LYE chose a tune in which he captures and translates the pulsation (rhythm) in a cocktail of colour. We are treated to an "eye nash", which even today seems fresh (or which they don't make like that anymore.)

Projection 1
Jayne Parker, UK, 2000, 6mins, video
Anton Lukoszevieze plays Morton Feldman's Projection 1 (1950) for solo 'cello, twice through. The film is in black and white and has few edits. The strong graphic lines of the 'cello and its strings, and the intersection of the bow, mirror the graphic score from which this piece is played. A film about form, sound and space: un-gestural.
