Marisa Olson – 2 videos
Dark Stars (2006, 6.9MB, 1:30 min)
Two rather attractive & intriguing pieces by Marisa Olson
made at a 2006 residency at the Experimental Television Center.
Said Marisa:
“Both are made using a combination of analog & digital processes
and Dark Stars is almost completely analog.. but
then again, both appropriate found material from the internet.
From Here is the music video for Zach Layton’s remix of my song of the
same name. Dark Stars uses samples from one of those old VHS video
games”.

The Return of Dr Hairy
Private Charges ( 2010, 51MB, 9:59)
Another bit of pointed fun from the team who brought you
the original Dr Hairy movie.
Made me laugh a lot, especially the superb timing and the
gratuitous cruelty to toy animals.
Shouldn’t need saying, especially with this one, but, US
viewers, please see the disclaimer on the original post.
Keith Schofield – 3 Commercials
Elephants (2008, 9MB, 1:19 min.)
Flatheads (2008, 2MB, 30 sec.)
3 commercials for Samsung, Axion and Fruit Roll-Ups
by inspiring director – Keith Schofield.
Chris Collins – lightsaber affirmation tunnel
Two from Kate Dickinson
19th ( 2010, 1MB, 1:00 min, silent)
Are You Ready? ( 2008, 20MB, 52 secs)
Two contrasting short movies from Leeds, UK, artist Kate Dickinson.
The second should provoke a smile (did for me) but it’s
the first, in which not a great deal happens & in a deliberately
confined area of the screen to boot, that I particularly liked.
There’s a melancholy about its view of an overcast
Leeds landscape which is amplified by cropping a good deal of it out.
The resulting minimalism marshalls the viewer’s attention in a quite hypnotic way.
Derek Larson – Isness as Bourges
Picot et al – Dr Hairy & the London Hospital
London Hospital ( 2010, 49MB, 9:59)
Writer & artist Edward Picot doubles as an administrator
in the UK health service & lets his hair down with this
deeply odd but amusing bit of lo-fi puppetry made in
collaboration with Julian Le Saux & Dr David Hindmarsh.
Just in case there are any knuckleheads out there
(and of course this is unlikely as you have the good taste
to read DVblog) who imagine this is an attack of any sort on
socialised medicine, the authors have kindly provided the
following statement:
“The creators of this piece would like to point out that they all work in
the National Health Service and are completely devoted to it.”
