Kinetocast – To Watch While Smelling Summer (2007, 8.2MB, 1:30)


Kinetocast – To Watch With Any Spectacle (2007, 8MB, 1:21)


Kinetocast – To Watch Feeling Betrayed (2006, 2.7MB, 0:35)

Three from the wildly amusing, all too infrequently updated kinetocast.
All based on the idea that these short videos can be watched as they
are labeled appropriate to time or event, this entire videoblog is fairly
genius conceptual work. Also worth checking out from Mack McFarland,
The Portland That Was….

More of these to come…

Interlords II (2008, 70MB, 5:09 min.)

Deft & compelling bit of After Effects powered You Tube

One to watch.

Sun (2008, 5.4MB, 30 secs)

Utterly ravishing Lumière from the never predictable,
always interesting, Rupert Howe.

On that summery note, we’re going to take a rest in the sunshine.
We love doing DVblog, but the daily deadline definitely takes
its toll after a bit.
We’ll be getting ready to hit the ground running again around 16th Sept.
& we’ll still keeping our eyes peeled for the new, for the weird &
(best of all!) for the wonderful.

Have a great summer!

Brittany, Doron, Michael.

Ping Pong
1st Ping-Pong Lesson With Lucha Lib (2008, 31.2MB, 4:18 min)

Even 18 years after the wall came down there’s still a quite palpable
residue of the great absurdist tradition that flourished under Stalinism in work
being made in the former Eastern bloc.

Dignity (2004, 40.4MB, 7:02 min)

Rain : Focus
Rain : Focus winter in the north (2004-9, 9.5MB, 1:12 min)

We showed a couple of rather restrained, pastoral pieces by Paul Kelly
in February of this year.
So, here’re three rather restrained, somewhat more urban pieces.
I admire the determinedly austere approach, to make much – or rather
to make us make much- of what is given to the camera (quite a lot, it has
to be said, in Dignity which is a touching portrait of man & dog), although
one does have visions of a kind of Yoda figure meditating in depth before every possible
editing decision to take the four years Focus apparently took to make.
I look forward to more.

Jillian Mcdonald – Screen Kiss

Screen Kiss
Screen Kiss (clip) (2005, 3.1MB, 1:00 min.)

Vincent Gallo, Johnny Depp, and Billy Bob

Sam Renseiw again

patafilm #609 (2008, 18.2MB, 4:27 min)

No excuse offered or needed to show work by the Danish
magician, Sam Renseiw. (When I called him the ‘genius Dane’
here a little while ago, he wrote me, modestly demurring,
but he is, Dear Reader, he is. Both.)
He says “…still imbricated in the subtle magic of simple things
and situations…”, which is unusually accurate for an artist
self assessment.
Beautiful work.

Bob And The Neighbors (2008, 10 MB, 1:10 min.)

“Another lazy Sunday in Bob’s neighbourhood; while Bob works on
his yard, his nosy neighbor crosses the line, forcing Bob to take
matters into his own hands.”
From The AV Club.
