A true love story<br />

about a Morse code<br />

instructor finding<br />

her path during<br />

WWII. “Code Ruth”<br />

blends stop motion<br />

techniques and<br />

archival materials<br />

to share a family’s<br />

history of connecting through technology.<br />

Code Ruth<br />

Animation<br />

by Caroline Voagen Nelson<br />

Astoria, NY. 4 min.<br />

DONT KNOW WHAT<br />

Experimental<br />

by Thomas Renoldner<br />

Wien, Austria. 8 min.<br />

Employing the method<br />

of single frame editing,<br />

primarily focused on<br />

sound, the realistic film<br />

image is transformed<br />

into a fantastical,<br />

surreal, structuralist<br />

and finally, abstract film. It creates a musical composition<br />

while experimenting with the human voice and transforming<br />

language into sound and music. One intention of “DONT<br />

KNOW WHAT” is to question the classical rules of film genres<br />

by combining elements of avant-garde film, video art, and<br />

cinema as entertainment.<br />
