EFF Portland 2012 Program - Experimental Film Festival Portland

EFF Portland 

2012

h i p p o d r o m e m e d i a

WELCOME! 

Experimental Film Festival Portland is the product of Grand Detour. Since 2010, through 

maintaining our agility and our willingness to say yes, we have had the great pleasure and honor of 

working with amazing arts groups, galleries, educators, and culture-makers as we have hosted and 

participated in dozens of screenings, exhibitions, events, and collaborations. I think we always knew 

that EFFPortland would be the logical point on Grand Detour’s trajectory, as our momentum has 

always been based on the question “could we?” 

Part of the nature of experimentation is trust in the process. You pour the vinegar into the baking 

soda and stand back. This project that is EFFPortland has turned into something we never could 

have foreseen and has been acted upon by so many different catalysts, and we are so proud of 

it. We set out to re-kindle a mass celebration of the experimental, and we hope you are ready to 

celebrate with us. 

Our excitement is only matched by our intense gratitude for all of the support we have had from the 

experimental media community, the Portland arts and cultural community, and everyone who has 

given us their work, time, advice, donations, and consideration. EFFPortland is an organism. It’s 

going to continue to grow and breath and look different, and as Grand Detour we can proudly say it 

is our greatest experiment yet.

Bryan Konefsky: Does Anyone Ever Really Quit 

2011 

Albuquerque, NM 


Shot at the Beardsley Zoo in 2003, the 

obsessive behavior of Joaquin the black bear 

reminded me of a film that I had seen in 1975. 

It was a student film, and the first structuralist 

film that I remember being exposed to. The 

movie was a locked-down shot of a polar bear 

who struck his head against the cement wall of 

his cage every time he cycled by it. This is an 

homage to them.

An archaeological examination of governmentfunded 

paranoia in instructional cinema. 

Neil Ira Needleman: Slow Fall 2011

Autumn is a particularly enthralling time of 

year for my eyes. On any given day, the trees 

can range in color from blazing orange to deep 

crimson to bright green to screaming yellow. 

David Finkelstein: Epistolary Fusillades 2010

Epistolary Fusillades is an examination of the

the possibility of using collage to create a new 

coherence.

Rub) 2009 

Boise, ID 


The rhythmic collision of opposing forces. 

Deborah Stratman: FF 2010

A short flicker film adulterated by some extra 

images shot in Malawi, Africa. FF was in answer 

to an assignment given by artists Melissa 

Dubbin and Aaron Davidson who created the 

soundtrack to which I was asked to make a 

“Future Film”. 

Paul O’Donoghue aka Ocusonic: Phasing Waves 

2012 

Dublin Ireland 


Recorded live in the experimental TV Studio 

New York using 80’s technology, simple tones, 

buzzes and glitches are transformed into 

visual representations. When three of these 

recordings are juxtaposed, complete with 

audio, new rhythmic and harmonic, audio visual 

complexities emerge. 

Fabio Scacchioli and Vincenzo Core: Miss 

Candace Hilligoss’ Flickering Halo 2011 

Rome, Italy 


A film about distance, about the interval 

simultaneously separating and uniting, the 

silence between words, the black between 

pictures. It ‘s a film against the dialectical 

opposites in cinema, assembled according to 

the Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle and the 

use of the phenomenon of retinal persistence 

as an expressive tool.

Clemens Wilhelm: THE TOURIST 2011 

Iceland 

TRT: 4:44//HDV Silent 

A white naked man in the vast landscapes of

fetishism, performance art and 

pornography: a man uniting with nature. 

Eliane Lima: Leonora (with George Kuchar) 

2010 

Oakland, CA 

TRT: 6min//16mm and Super 8 transferred to 

Digital Video 

A dark drama of sexual sorcery and crippled 

creatures in the throes of a primitive passion. 

Leg G’Man: Limericks 2011 

Boston, MA 


Conceived after years of appreciation and 

public reciting of the verse from the compiled 

book The Limericks by G. Legman (world 

renowned sexual humor analyst). I thought 

cartoons should accompany this modern take. 

One lonely night stumbling upon Disney cartoon 

porn on the internet, my concept was complete. 

Peter Max Lawrence: Me-oW (Indoor Cats) 2011 


TRT: 13:46//Digital Video//Premier

Alberto Cabrera Bernal: Against Cinema 2010 

Madrid, Spain 

TRT: 9min//Video 

Through the use of found footage from an 

assortment of sources, fiction films and 

documentaries, moments in which actors turn 

their backs to the camera are shown, making 

the film a clear aggression to narrative cinema.

Warszawa, Poland 


Three animated variations on Henryk Berlewi’s 

‘Mechanofaktura. Dynamic Contrasts’ of 1924 

based on some hints given by the artist himself.

Mexico City. Two squads. Us and them. Playing

Kim Kielhofner: Agenda 2011

perspective each time. The video follows clues 

to a mysterious woman and her continuous reinvention 

through the failures of memory. 

David Sanz Kerbis and Francisco Sanmartin 

Piquer: At One’s Fingertips 


Valencia, Spain 

TRT: 7min//HD Video 

A part of the Computer Vision Cinema, an 

experimental research project to apply 

Computer Vision techniques to the process 

of filmmaking. To search for new audiovisual 

expression languages. The footage is

the movement detection algorithms, such as 

frame differencing, background subtraction or 

brightness tracking. 

Christine Lucy Latimer: FOCUS 2009

Liv Schwenk: Realtime 12.14.06 2011 

Dusseldorf, Germany 

TRT: 33 secs//Digital Video 

Three different captures of time are 

disconnected from each other. Only one person 

seems immune to the disconnection and 

walks right through the time zones seemingly 

oblivious to the impossibility of her actions. 

Bernd Lützeler: The Voice of God 2010 

India/Germany 

TRT: 9:35//35MM (Digital Copy for EFF) 

If God would come down to Earth and try to 

earn a living in Bombay, most probably he would 

very soon become successful as a voice over 

artiste, lending his voice to thousands of Hindi 

movies and even more documentaries and 

public service films in India.

Monroy: Awe Shocks 2011 

Berlin, Germany

enterprise.

8:45 - 10:00pm: THE NEAR SIDE 

(A Local Showcase) 

@Studio Two 

Kendall Hockin: A Far Sea 2012 


A Far Sea is a document of a place. It is a 

meditation - a pause; exploring a 

world that is just as much an internal one. An 

escape within; a body turning away 

from the world towards the sea, the inside. 

Julie Perini: Collaboration with a Stream 2011 

TRT: 1:35//16mm transferred to Digital Video 

This film is the result of a collaboration between 

Julie Perini and a stream in Woodstock, NY. 

Julie scratched a line into black film leader and 

left it in a stream for a week. The dirt, rocks, 

and water in the stream created the flecks of 

white that you see, and the soundtrack. 

Stephanie Hough: HOW TO FEEL 2011 


A visual and audial experiment focused around 

a collection of micro-experiments exploring 

synesthesia, anticipation and patternrecognition. 

Cody Brown and Rusty Rehl: MAH 2011 


This piece is about playfulness. Carefree, crazy, 

senselessness. Transformation and comic book 

violence. It’s about entertainment. 

Michael Roberson: Drive-Way Death-Worm 



Drive-Way-Death-Worm follows the slow 

demise of an earthworm by a pack of eager 

ants. Nature on concrete. Sound on tape. The 

movement of a worm. The work of ants. Life 

goes on. 

Kevin Forrest: Communication 2012 


Communication is a piece that experiments with 

the way humans commonly interact with one 

another (eyes and dialogue), but in the realm of 

a staring competition. 

Andrew Levi Klaus: Motel 2010 


“[An] erotic Rorschach film. A sexual fantasy test 

that one is unable to fail…” meets a highbrow 

peep show in this continuation of the Personal 

Pornographies project. 

Chris Freeman: Chris Freeman Presents: A 

scene from Star Trek: The Next Generation, 

Epsiode 3x09, “The Vengeance Factor” 2010 


In this piece I take the audio from a “Star Trek: 

The Next Generation” episode and replace the 

visuals with my own original content. 

Pam Minty: REV 2011 

TRT: 1min//16mm transferred to digital video 

Collage cut outs of cars taped to 16mm film 

resulting in engine-like optical sounds, mixed 

with clicks and clacks. 

Kiri Hargie: 10,950 (1-930) 2012 


10,950 follows the paradigm that to have 

success in any field you must practice a specific 

task for around 10,000 hours. For the next 

year I will be drawing 30 - 3” x 2” pictures 

a day, clubbing the basics of motion into 

something that is hopefully both beautiful and 

inspirational. 10,950 (1-930) is the first part 

of a journey as destination, the rest remains a 

mystery for now. 

Jonathan Marrs and Josh Ferdaszewski: 

With You 2009 

TRT: 16:38//HD Video 

A non-linear, experimental meditation that 

explores angst toward oneself, society, and 

language.

Different 2012 

TRT: 30 secs//HD 

A short film inspired by the poem “In the next 

galaxy” by Ruth Stone 

Anika Tobiason: Reveillant 2011 


An obsession with patterns of light and shadow 

inspired this piece. It documents a “day in the 

life” of any person living in dappled sunshine. 

The titles read (in French): I woke up. I’m going 

outside. The light is pretty. The shadows are 

friendly.

Leif Anderson and Ryan Mortensen: 

Angel Cloud 2009 


This video opens with a stoic Jesus Christ 

playing the organ and leads to a spiritual fire in 

the streets. Its actions inspired by the anxious 

energy of the urban. The burning bush, the 

guiding light, trees in the city. Finding some 

peace in the disruption of the pathways of 

space there. 

Zack Dixon: The River 2011 


River is an augmented stop motion that was 

created as a part of an on-going series of the 

experimental medium. The river is a common 

literary symbol, found (for example) in the book 

“Siddartha” by Herman Hesse. It represents 

both time, change, and the passage of life. 

Jodi Darby: Gulf 2010 


Gulf combines re-edited news coverage of the 

1986 Space Shuttle Challenger explosion and 

found 8mm footage of 1950’s home movies to 

capture a split second intersection of hubris, 

pride, joy and grief. Original score by Marisa 

Anderson. 

Ian Sundahl and Bob Moricz: Ghost Beach 

2011 

TRT: 4min//16mm sound 

A travelogue of the streets and signage of the 

adult business area of North Beach in San 

Francisco, California. The soundtrack features 

an electric guitar and sound clips which 

echo from the setting’s past. Shot in Bolex

Vision.”

TRT: 5:30Video//VHS//Premier

2011 

Seattle, WA 

TRT: 5:40//16mm transferred to Digital Video 

The 6th installment of what is being called 

the Anomalies Cycle of films. This time I used 

custom made dyes that I call Kenville dyes. By 

the time I did this film I was experimenting with 

doing several layers of exposures onto one 

another at different speeds. I also created this 

film’s sound design. 

Tara Nelson: Hull 2012 

Jamaica Plain, MA 

TRT: 7:32//16mm Sound

exploring the physical memory of trauma,

Boston, MA 

TRT: 4:15//16mm and Digital Video

antimatter conjugate. 

Bernard Roddy: The Nature Theater of 

Oklahoma 2011 

Oklahoma City, OK 

TRT: 12:10//16mm Sound 

This film draws a connection between the 

Oklahoma City memorial and the memorial in 

Berlin to the Jews murdered under the Nazis. 

It does so by exploring the use of performance 

art. Music is also experimentally produced 

using a wheelbarrow strung with a bass string 

and a violin string. 

Charlotte Pryce: Curious Light 2011 

Los Angeles, CA 

TRT: 4min//16mm 

A manuscript illuminated: illustrations retreat 

into the fiber of the page; a fleeting light 

dissolves into the emulsion of the film: an 

elusive story is revisited. The film is entirely 

hand processed. 

Jeanne Liotta: Dark Enough 2010 

New York, NY 


A collaboration with poet Lisa Gill. Text-as-text, 

text-as-image, avoiding poetic illustration by way 

of poetic illustration. Sound composed for 60 

cycle speaker hum and Tibetan bell.

3- 4:30pm: EVAN MEANEY: /A_CEIBAS_CYCLE. 

ZIP (A Premiere) 2012 @ Studio Two 

Knoxville, TN 

TRT: 45 min//Video 

‘/a_ceibas_cycle.zip’ is a single channel remix 

of ‘the ceibas cycle’–a ten-part, multimedia 

exploration of glitches, ghosts and the digital 

archive, produced between 2007 and 2012. 

the mayans believed the ceibas trees to be 

points of connection, binding this world to 

the next. and not wanting to be alone in the 

afterlife, the mayans afford the dead a pause. 

a moment to wait, in the hopes that we will be 

joined by our partners – so we don’t have to 

make the next journey alone. this file contains 

many variations on that theme, perhaps even 

instructions; finding the echoing liminality of the 

tree in each new, failing, interface and allowing 

for a personal recognition by archival proxy. 

we will, ultimately, find ourselves together again. 

all together. beneath the shade of the ceibas. 

finally ready to address that next step.

East River Pavilion. 

Peter Snowdon: Dieu est dans les racines (God 

is in the Roots) 2012 

Brussels, Belgium 

TRT: 14:47//Super 8mm and Digital Video 

It’s a place where you cannot see the sky. All 

I wanted was to have been born there. What 

would it be like to be born on this land, and to 

see the world the way they do? The problem 

is, I have no witnesses for what I lived through. 

In any case, the sky is green, and God is in the 

roots. 

Jonesy: Beauty Must Suffer 2011 

Los Angeles, CA 


An homage both to J.K. Huysmans’ novel, 

“Against the Grain”, and to the personal 

experience of a weekend spend with Andy 

Mantegna - a porn star whose rise was just as 

quick as his descent and subsequent death. 

Jesse McLean: Remote 2011 

Chicago, IL 

TRT: 11:21//HD Video 

There is a presence lingering in the dark woods, 

just under the surface of a placid lake and at 

the end of dreary basement corridor. It’s not 

easy to locate because it’s outside but also 

inside. It doesn’t just crawl in on your wires because 

it’s not a thing. It’s a shocking eruption 

of electrical energy. 

Richad Touhy: Etienne’s Hand 2011 

Daylesford, Australia 

TRT: 13min//16mm 

A movement study of a restless hand. Madefrom

Place 2010 

Edmonton, Canada 

TRT: 10min//16mm transferred to Digital Video 

Situated at the geographic centre of Canada, 

Baker Lake, Nunavut is the only inland settlement 

in the Canadian Arctic. Fixing its gaze 

on this stark landscape, McIntyre’s haunting 

and sparse film uses hand wrought black and 

white 16mm film in a meditation on place and 

personal histories.
