Amerikuh (2006, 6.88MB, 1:32 min)
Neat satirical mash-up by Brian Liloia,
made for ( &, I gather, a semi-finalist at) the
stockstock film festival, so doubly impressive
when you consider he was allocated
the footage.
Nice work – hats off!

Peppermint & Nadir – Wilderness Trouble
Wilderness Trouble Version 1.0* (2007, 9.2MB, 3:31 min.)
When we posted their splendid Series of Practical Performances in the Wilderness
which will be returning here before long, we said lots of nice things about that.
No reason to change our minds now -this fizzes with both ideas & technique in much the same way (although the repetition lies in excellence sustained rather than any marking of time).
For me a litmus test of anything artistic is can it do the affective equivalent
of fart & chew gum, ie can it encompass radically different moods or themes
in a coherent way, that is, foreshadow in the particular, in tiny concrete detail,
something much broader & deeper.
Well, here, yes, sure.
A genuinely comic lightness of tone is yoked to some quite big themes,
but not awkwardly..in fact they make it look easy..don’t think it is though.
Neat.
