Project title: Work in progress
Logline: In a house surrounded by a strange kind of beauty two men carry out daily routines, as time slowly passes. This single channel video asks the viewer: What does the attempt to care look like?
Artist Bio: Pelle Nijburg (1994, The Netherlands) is a filmaker based in Utrecht. She makes films that are narratively based on true events. It often starts with questions and curiosity about a certain subject or encounter she had. Secondly there's she search for how to tell about it through sound and image. She explains this working method as a sort of sight seeking.

Project description

The Sun Burns An Image Into My Eye

Logline: Shannon’s two channel video installation, The Sun Burns An Image Into My Eye, asks, are we permeable? Are the boundaries that separate us less clear than we think? The installation invites viewers to look over the 'table' and gaze out a 'window' to look closely at the transformative cycles meandering through mundane life—of baking, gardening, mushrooms decomposing dead animals, a leaky shower—to look for resonance, insight, and meaning.

Can we reach across distances—chemical, geographical, emotional, generational, spiritual—through preserved flowers, photographs, and memories—through what remains?

Project: Parasite by Proxy
Logline: Aitan's documentary Parasite by Proxy explores the Crypto Jews of Mashhad. Marginalised in Persia, some migrated to Palestine. Eventually they had a majority status as Jews - the guest became the host. The filmmaker integrates this inherited history and identity -victim/benefactor, host/parasite. You are invited to feed on the work in this two-channel film installation.
Artist Bio: Aitan Ebrahimoff (1991) is an artist filmmaker based in Amsterdam. His short films combine speculation, documentary and science fiction. With a media design practice he blurs the line between video art and cinema, building hybrid realities with human and non-human actors.
Research and writing are important tools in his process, whereby scripts are used to structure associative narrative elements. Whether factual or fantasy, his films blend genres and incoporate cultural observations which are rooted in reality.

QUESTIONS

For Leslie and Simon

• Poster: is the 500 euro budget for design and printing?
• When do the venues need our texts, poster, and tech riders?
• Does the school cover the rental costs of projectors and screens and monitors, or does that come out of our individual 750 euro grad show budgets? They are expensive... If not, how do we devide the monitors and beamers and the leftover payments of the people who need to hire extra because of shortage?
• When do we need to put in our reservations with MTS? Wilco said if we wanted a vinyl screen, we needed to put in the request already by 30th of May...
• What is the new paperwork we need to fill out for mentors

For Florian and Wilco

• When can we visit the TENT basement to look at furniture
• Wilco: The pictures on the website of MTS don't seem to work, so a couple of questions about the equipment. 1) Would it be possible to send us some images of the equipment? 2) What is the difference between 'spandoek' and 'frame'? 2) Is 'doorzichtscherm' the seethrough screen and the 'opzichtscherm' a one-sided screen? 3) How big is the vinyl screen? 4) Which ones have legs, and which ones should have a suspension system?
