Two newly-dead ghosts walk the streets of Athens, among the pulsing cityscape and the ghosts of history. They were outsiders in life: he, a queer Lebanese translator; she a half-Irish photographer. They wander the city together, finding consolation in the difficult beauty of life and its aftermath.

A charming fusion of everyday craft and artistic ritual. Over the course of half an hour, Lynch builds a decorative lamp while calmly explaining materials, tools, and process. A minimalist soundtrack — a slowly evolving percussive loop — turns the simple act of making into a kind of meditative performance.

16 min.

A visual study composed of three time-lapse sequences capturing sun-drenched places as darkness gradually consumes them. Thematically it echoes Boat, but here language is abandoned entirely. The slow pace, mechanical intervals, and the interplay between architecture and nature evoke the structural rigor of James Benning’s cinema.

PREMONITIONS FOLLOWING AN EVIL DEED
()
FRA
1995
David Lynch
Fic.Exp.
1 min.

Lynch was invited to play directly with film history in Lumière et Compagnie, where 41 directors were challenged to make a short using the Lumière brothers’ original camera. In just sixty dense seconds, Lynch sketches the aftermath of a young girl’s death, intercut with abrupt, surreal tableaux: masked torturers, a naked captive, a bed standing alone in a forest. Short, brutal, and unmistakably Lynchian.

Marianne Heske
Exp.
1 min.

Using the well-known MGM Studios logo as a point of origin, Heske has played around with the internationally known icon to make the lion behave in ways quite unlike what we have come to expect. The film can therefore be experienced as a meta-commentary on the history and development of the film industry.
