Me Screaming for Two Hours

Director: Lanza Manza.

Follow the struggles and the enigma of the mind of an unforgiven artist.  Played by Bailey Jet Vaughn, this young danseuse has had enough of the tangible, semidimensional world.  You see through the mind of a virtuoso like never before, as an outcry of emotional turbulence is finally acquitted.

 

Afuera

Director: José Permar.

The willpower fights versus the pleasure of the comfort inside of “Alfredo”, a coarse representation of the modern sedentary man. One morning the electricity goes off, and takes the televisión with it, his loyal and distractor friend. When Alfredo finds out that he has been locked in, spends the rest of the day in an ridiculous odisey to escape from home.

Black & White - International Audiovisual Festival

In May Porto opens its doors to the monochromatic aesthetics. The Black & White - International Audiovisual Festival, which receives video, audio and photographs in black and white, will take into competition works from all over the world.
With unique worldwide characteristics this initiative grew from the need to answer to the audience's growing sensitivity to black & white specificity, leaving behind the prejudice that relates this aesthetics with works of early cinema.
But the festival shows more than videos and photos in two colours, it also encourages the creation of sound environments referring to the black and white.
Over four days, several activities related to the audiovisual world will be carried out in addition to the competitions: artist talks, screenings and extensions from other international festivals. The nights will also be exciting with a broad cultural program.

ANOTHER EXPERIMENT BY WOMEN FILM FESTIVAL

ANOTHER EXPERIMENT BY WOMEN FILM FESTIVAL (AXW for short) GIVES WOMEN’S WORK A REAL TIME & SPACE IN NYC!!

DEADLINE for the AXWFF's 4th SEASON - going up in 2015 is NOV 11, 2014 FEE: $10 (for up to 3 submissions)
http://anotherexperimentbywomenfilmfestival.com/

TO SUBMIT:
http://anotherexperimentbywomenfilmfestival.com/submission-info/entry-form/

AXW has promoted and screened experimental shorts since 2010 in Manhattan NY. Many of these films feature underrepresented themes and issues distinct to women and girls, are usually made by women and, sometimes, men.

Six screenings per year are presented thru NEW FILMMAKERS NY at ANTHOLOGY FILM ARCHIVES. All program notes remain on our web-site.

We recommend submitting shorter works of around 10 minutes and under, as these are easier to include. Narrative dramas, and conventional documentaries are unlikely to be included, unless they are exceptionally original/experimental in form and/or content.

_____________

AXW/online is a streaming site of short shows, that pays the filmmakers for their work, and serves to archive women's films that seerve as a record of their thoughts, expressions, and film-craft.

Kabuki Geisha

Director: Sylvia Toy St. Louis and Michael Lewis.

This video performance portrait is based on a poem about an elderly woman whom I frequently saw on Montgomery Street in San Francisco on the way to dayjob for several years. She moves like only old dancers move in spite of her obvious mental disturbances, i.e., paranoia, mumbling to herself etc. The grace of that well trained body carries her quite magically through the crowds of workers of whom she seems so afraid. Art seems to be in her blood stream, in every single cell of her body and happening all the time even though she's not in a pracice room or on stage due to sheer muscle memory of making art.
