“My World” is an exploration of identity, of time and sublimation as seen through the eyes of a photographer.

At the end the photographer becomes the only connection between the past and what he remembers of a life he never lived.

Looking at the surrealists’ relation between film and psy- choanalysis at the beginning of modernism, the film puts fashion back on the couch by shedding a light into the shadow of the unconscious, addressing no- tions of identity, gender-roles, and transformation.

DIRECTOR: Steven Klein

**WINNER** Jury Prize

‘FICTION NOIR the film by Steven Klein starts immediately with the aftermath of a disaster. A young beautiful couple bloodied in what may have been a car accident,or something worse, perhaps a supernatural mishap. The film continues at that point its descent into a series of nocturnal emissions of the mysterious unconscious. The Law and Logic of Society is represented in the form of a cop, and this figure is undermined and mocked by the Femme Fatale of the piece. She is the dark void, the mystery of existence, seductive and yet feared. Masculine order and will is negated by her in FICTION NOIR. Indeed even her tenderness is equated with violence; a blood sacrifice of a young boy, seemingly underage: thelamb to slaughter. There are no happy endings in FICTION NOIR nor resolutions. One senses the men are forever trapped in the Web of the Feminine. In its own way, it is the parable ofLilith. One translation of the name Lilith is “female night being demon”. Filmmaker Steven Kelin lends a modern interpretation to the femme fatale of yesterday’s film noir thus creating a new fiction for us to dream by.

DIRECTOR: Fumiko Imano

The music Rubbish or Treasure was written and made in year 2000, and wanted to make a music video for it one day. At first, I planned to make a story which follows the lyrics. However while researching music videos from youtube, I found there is another type of video which is just dancing with the song ignoring the meaning of the song. So I decided to dance from the beginning to the end.

This is a totally home made film, nobody has seen it when I was filming or edit- ing. Its much more like doing a stupid dance for youtube viewers. My film also can be somebody’s “rubbish or treasure” I can imagine. And I am happy with it.

DIRECTOR: Andrea Splisgar

Inspired by time and space shifting Metaphors - the Tarot Card no. 12 (prob- ably the most significant card of the desk) and the throwing of pigments during Holi festival in India - the performance shows a transformation of darkness into light through the representation of a hanged woman in an edge and timeless space, swinging weightless and releasing gravity, in a storm of illuminating pigments.

In order to shift from past into new shapes, to gain knowledge and new visions, the simple experience of reversing once state of being - literally turning physi- cally and mentally upside down, to feel and see differently - and observe from new perspectives, is a dazzling moment of transitoriness-dreamlike yet crystal clear.

The tales, figures and creatures developed by her are often embossed from the traditions of fantastic film and surrealistic literature. In this case, the interlocking from sound, word and picture plays an exceptional role. Since 2000 Andrea Splisgar lives and works mainly in Berlin. In 2005 she created the label DER MONDÄNE TIGER, under which pseudonym she develops various art projects and artistic cooperation’s.

DIRECTOR BIO As one of Britain’s most innovative and celebrated composers, Michael Ny- man’s work encompasses operas and string quartets, film soundtracks and orchestral concertos. Far more than merely a composer, he’s also a performer, conductor, bandleader, pianist, author, musicologist and now a photographer and film-maker. Although he’s far too modest to allow the description ‘Renais- sance Man’, his restless creativity and multi-faceted art has made him one of the most fascinating and influential cultural icons of our times. Nyman first made his mark on the musical world in the late 1960s, when he invented the term ‘minimalism’ and, still in his mid-twenties, earned one of his earliest commissions, to write the libretto for Birtwistle’s 1969 opera Down By The Greenwood Side. His most notable scores number a dozen Peter Green- away films, including such classics as The Draughtsman’s Contract and The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover; Neil Jordan’s The End Of The Affair; sev- eral Michael Winterbottom features including Wonderland and A Cock And Bull Story; the Hollywood blockbuster Gattaca - and, of course, his unforgettable music for Jane Campion’s 1993 film, The Piano, the soundtrack album of which has sold more than three million copies.

If You Had Been The Moon is a short film that portrays two young Hollywood hopefuls that meet during their 1930s screen test. As the story progresses, this Film Noir portrays the boys slowly becoming enamored with each other in poetic, Surrealistic dream sequences.

10:00 / 2009 / USA / PRODUCTION COMPANY: Vision On /DIRECTOR OF PHO- TOGRAPHY:Nicholas Metcalf / ARTISTIC DIRECTOR: Peter McGough / STYLIST: Peter McGough/ HAIR: Kenneth Salon, NYC/ MAKE-UP: Mike Potter

DIRECTOR BIO From 1980 through 1995, McDermott & McGough, partners in art and life, lived as Early 20th Century gentleman. Dressing, living, and working as artists and men about town, circa 1900 - 1928, they often wore top hats, detachable collars and lived in a East Village townhouse, which was lit only by candle light. McDermott & McGough are dedicated to living historicity; they once drove their 1913 Model-T Ford to Niagara Falls and back. “This was not play acting”, says McGough, rather “This was an experiment in time. We were trying to build a bubble environment and a fantasy we could live in.”McDermott & McGough are fascinated by “what lies beyond what we understand.” The artist’s dedicated philosophies to unraveling life’s mysteries have evolved since the 18th century. Their paintings, sculptures, photographs, and installations, all of which have two dates, one for the subject and one for the actual year completed, are attempts to understand time and—to the best of their ability—articulate intellectual and emotional history. Paraphrasing Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910), founder of Christian Science, McGough says, “Time is a mortal thought...” For the artists, all Time exist at the same year, hour, minute, and, just as works of art can be transportative, so too can inhabiting different centuries and their mandates. Re- ligion, medicine, advertising, fashion, and above all homoeric culture—a history often hidden—are special interests for the collaborative team who continue their artistic collaboration, with McDermott in Ireland in a 19th-century townhouse, and McGough in a 1930s moderne skyscraper in Manhattan.

The period piece chronicles the end of an affair in 1930s Manhattan, as a glamorous courtesan (Deyn) discovers that her aristocratic British lover, Walter (Roache), intends to marry a wealthy heiress in order to “stay afloat” in the depths of the Depression. At once vulnerable and despairing, the mistress is unraveled not by heartbreak, but by the terror of returning to a life burdened by destitution. As the story develops, Deyn’s past is linked to a subordinate social class, while Walter maintains an emotionally abusive, patrician sensibility.

The film is set on a film studio complex that replicates the streets of Shanghai in the 1940s. The space depicts both the splendid and the decay of that time, where architecture was a fusion between Western Art Deco and the Chinese vernacular. The film opens on the interior of this surreal set, where there is a cafe, a night club and casino, filled with a hedonistic atmosphere of that era. A group of boys are sitting or leaning against the wall around the space in silence. Gradually they stand up, following one another, the boys slowly venture out of this haze and onto the main street. In one long take, the camera follows the boys. Walking along this empty street, randomly, the boys encounter Chi- nese male characters of the past. They walk on by as though walking through a metaphysical time line. Observing without engaging. At the end of the streets, the camera points upwards towards the sky and finally fixes on a scene across two buildings. The boys reappear in a line, holding umbrellas, walking on a thin bridge across the sky. One by one, they slowly walk off the screen, symbolizing their departure from the past, and entering the unknown of their future.

This atypical couple, self-proclaimed as The Hermaphrodite Twins in Art, is symbolic of art today. In mixing the sexual signs, EVA & ADELE are commit- ted to going over the boundaries of gender. “We want to show that sex is not an issue as simple as the difference between black and white. Our appearance is abstract: we’re dressed like women and our heads are pretty masculine”. Their tangible work is no less surprising, mixing traditional media and materials (oil on canvas, pastel, watercolour, pencil on paper...) with their singular attitude and identity. Their self-portraits are the starting point of all their works, which the couple produce from visual archives of their appearances in the art world or in their daily lives, combined with a variety of drawings and patterns.
