Pelle Nijburg

E: pellenijburg@gmail.com
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: what does the attempt to care look like?
Artist Bio: Pelle Nijburg (1994, The Netherlands) is a filmmaker based in Utrecht. She makes films. Sometimes as a one-man crew, sometimes in alliance with. She likes to research modern phenomena. Has a soft spot for archive material. Often an encounter is the trigger to start a project. More often, it's something else - it could be anything. She describes her working method as a sort of sight seeking. Her films are narratively based on true events, but she doubts the use of the word 'true', so it's rather narratively based on 'events': noteworthy happenings.

Project Title: 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? Can we reach across distances, through what remains? 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.
Bio: Arising from a process of observation, daily documentation, and self archiving, and drawing on widely accessible mediums of phone photography and video, Shannon’s multidisciplinary practice focuses on mundanity and transience. Recent works apply a perspective of empathy and vulnerability within the interaction between humans and other living beings. Born in Baltimore and previously NY-based, she is a recent graduate of the Piet Zwart Institute: Lens-Based Media MFA program in Rotterdam.

Aitan Ebrahimoff
Contact: aitanebrahimoff@gmail.com / +31643516491 / aitantv.xyz
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.

Project: E S C A P E (working title)
Logline
There are moments in everyday life that get us to stand still for a second and admire whatever caught our gaze and got us to stop.

I got to a point like that not to long ago and decided to embark on a journey, searching for an experience greater than these little moments, greater than myself, to experience what people call the Sublime.
