This Year's Headline Attraction
|
|
- LensCap
- running time: 4 hours, 33 minutes
- produced by: Max Noir
- directed by: Max Noir
- screenplay by: Max Noir
|
In LensCap, writer/producer/director Max Noir drags the audience's
eyeballs deep into his own personal vision of cosmic emptiness and the endless
darkness of their own souls. The masterfully-arranged soundtrack, obviously
influenced by the works of neo-classical composer John Cage, envelops the listener
in a world filled with the purest digital silence.
Like so many of Noir's works, LensCap takes meaning beyond the
realm of mere words, introducing the audience to a vision so deep and profound
that it feels far longer than the film's actual running time of just over four-and-a-half hours.

Feature Films
|
|
- Creditroll, the Motion Picture
- running time: 2 hours, 51 minutes
- produced by: Cutting and Pasting
- directed by: Marisa "110 WPM" Underwood
- Starring: Arial Black
|
Creditroll, the Motion Picture dares to take film financing to the next level, by
selling space in their credits by the line. This first foray into pay-per-credit funding successfully
generated enough to cover film stock, lab work, and--most expensively--titling.
Though neither the budget nor the constraints on running time left room for any actual
shooting or even opening titles, this film singlehandedly creates a whole new genre of
epic filmmaking, and ushers in a new era in which a "cast of thousands" is not merely
attainable by any independent filmmaker, but an integral part of the financing.

- Flashing Midnight
- running time: 1 hour, 56 minutes
- produced by: Delta Kronecker
- directed by: Delta Kronecker
- screenplay by: Panasonic
|
Director Delta Kronecker rips through the pretentions and illusions of security that permeate modern culture, crafting
a brutal expose' of bourgeois society's alienation from the very technology that it spawned. Kronecker puts us face-to-face
with these creations of human thought and hand that record the TV shows we watch and hear while
hiding their own secret thoughts and even their most basic operating
instructions from the humans that purchased them.
In Flashing Midnight, we, the audience, become participants in this ceaseless struggle
of man against machine, drawn in by the VCR's imperious blinking stare. We must decide ourselves
whether to allow ourselves to be hypnotized into submission, or whether we dare to rebel and, just
for once, try operating the VCR in the bathtub.
