El Mundo Se Camina

Chile woke up on October 18th, 2019. The streets were flooded with people claiming "Until 
dignity becomes a habit". "The right of delirium" by Eduardo Galeano transports us through 
the atmosphere of the struggle for what we would call an Utopia.

Award-wining film by Marcelo Lagreze

Chile woke up on October 18th, 2019.
The streets are flooded with people demanding to be heard, united by the slogan "until dignity becomes customary.” While some people peacefully demonstrate, others, known as the "front line", confront the police to ensure the safety of the demonstrators. This entire situation is metaphorically and poetically depicted through the voice of Eduardo Galeano as he reads his poem "El derecho al delirio" (The Right to Delirium).

Utopia of the outraged

The city was quiet and hauntingly beautiful. Peace flooded the places that, before, had 
noisy crowds. We were experiencing the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the 
environment on the subway was not different. A place that used to be flooded with 
people became an empty place that invited us to a parenthesis, a PAUSE to think and 
reflect...

<h3>Director's Statement:</h3>
It was a special moment for all. Almost without realizing it, our life changed. “A new way of living,” they said. Forced to leave confinement to receive medical treatment due to an accident. I traveled by subway to different stations in the city. Being there, I couldn't help the strange feeling of being almost by myself in a place that used to be synonymous with crowding.
At that moment, I decided to capture images of the lonely people in the subway. These images and the voices in the film invite us to rethink and reflect on important aspects of living. Which, unfortunately, under normal circumstances, we forget or overlook.

Focusing on the movement and rhythms of other organisms, NarroWing recreates the sensations and symptoms of dysautonomia.

Focusing on the movement and rhythms of other organisms, NarroWing recreates the sensations and symptoms of dysautonomia. Bees represent the movement of the heart in the landscape of the body, how it is poised to go haywire at the slightest interference. But amidst the chaos and grief of watching a life you took for granted wash away under the deluge of a diagnosis, NarroWing also translates how you can come to redefine yourself and your future. How even as your world narrows, and your body becomes alien, chronic illness can expand your appreciation of life held in an eternity of small moments.

Afterparty is a story of artworks and artifacts with the theme of death. Their order is disrupted by the champagne cork, which, on the contrary, symbolizes life and serves as a reference to worldly life and its transience. However, death prevails and corrects the disorder of life, arranges it, and restores balance. The artwork Afterparty is, therefore, a classic memento mori.

Famous for being the backdrop in the highly popular television series ‘The Flying Doctors’, was not only a success in Australia but also received international recognition and is still currently on air overseas. Because of this success, Minyip has become a tourist destination for fans of The Flying Doctors from all over the world and has been used as a location for other Australian films, such as The Dressmaker and earlier this year The Dry was filmed in this classic Australian township.

Robot with a Movie Camera is an excerpt from a diary.

&nbsp;On my way to work, I kept walking past a robot. One day I stopped and took a closer look at the Robot’s arm. It seemed that the robot could hold a movie camera. A few days later John McCormack, a technology-based artist and researcher with a major interest in human movement, and myself, a filmmaker exploring smartphones and emerging media for experimental screen production, met in the Factory of the Future and conducted an experiment in cinematic communication. Adam Nash’s soundscape Child in the Wild provided a conceptual bridge to transition between the world of Robots and the film space. Being inspired by Dziga Vertov and the work of the Kino-Eye, we explored the robot as a camera operator in the film as well as the Virtual Reality environment.&nbsp;

The purpose of this experimental work is to continue the exploration of the Kino-Eye’s cinematographic language. Vertov’s manifesto explored the sensory domain of the world through film. “We therefore take as the point of departure the use of the camera as a kino-eye, more perfect than the human eye, for the exploration of the chaos of visual phenomena that fills space. The kino-eye lives and moves in time and space; it gathers and records impressions in a manner wholly different from that of the human eye. … I am kino-eye, I am mechanical eye.&nbsp;

I, a machine show you the world as only I can see it.” Future experiments will continue to explore the filming and editing in VR worlds by kino-eyes.

Interesting intersections can be observed between the so-called new ecologies and the development of storytelling towards immersive media. 

Interesting intersections can be observed between the so-called new ecologies and the development of storytelling towards immersive media. The climate crisis is the most significant issue in our times and consequentially, we need to explore new forms of re-connecting with nature through digital media.
Scatter explores imaginative landscapes as a dynamic environment where these new ideas about ecology and media can take form.&nbsp;

This experimental smartphone, immersive media production, aims to explore ecologies that otherwise remain hidden or unnoticeable. Our basic premise for Scatter is that the current environmental crisis involves a crisis of the imagination that requires a different kind of art and a different kind of action, one tailored to 21st-century storytelling.
