Playing Dead

By Erica Eyres | 00:04:40 | Experimental, Narrative-Fiction | 1/6/2004

In Playing Dead the character speaks about fake suicide as though it is a productive and fulfilling part of her life. Her dialogue has been modelled loosely around artist interviews, using self-assurance and confidence to talk about a ridiculous and disconcerting subject.

Great Divide, The

By Bryan Besant | 00:03:24 | Experimental | 01/05/2008

The Great Divide was created as a collaboration with Japanese artist Katsuyuki Hattori, and performed live as part of a video concert. The work is composed of video footage of the Arlington Bridge which sprawls over the often debated train yard and grain transportation depot which segregates the North End of Winnipeg from the rest…

Send Me to the ‘Lectric Chair

By Guy Maddin, Isabella Rossellini | 00:07:00 | Experimental | 01/01/2008

A diva (Isabella Rossellini) is tied to a wooden 'lectric chair. The power is slowly increased, sparks fly playfully, smoke curls upwards. The star becomes ecstatic. Her petite mort rÃªverie produces excitingly strange images - from objects of desire to melancholy flashbacks.

Return to You

By Cam Woykin | 00:05:00 | Experimental | 01/10/2010

A pair of lovers are separated by a war that is taking place just 4km from their home. The young woman, strained by isolation, finally has her fiancÃ© return home, but he is bleeding from fatal gunshot wounds. As his breathing fades, the young woman decides to join her love in death by poisoning herself.

KNOUT

By Deco Dawson | 00:10:00 | Experimental | 01/01/1999

FILM(knout) concentrates on a young woman who sets down to the task of tying rope. Meanwhile she has the same idea, and a confrontation of self endures.

White Rhythms, Short Breaths

By Olga Zikrata | 00:06:50 | Experimental | 07/05/2013

Filmed with 16mm Bolex and super-8 mm cameras, then hand-processed to allow light leaks and extended exposure to photographic chemicals, White Rhythms, Short Breaths calls a direct experience of tactile sensations, film texture, and contact dance.

Dead Father, The

By Guy Maddin | 00:24:30 | Experimental, Narrative-Fiction | 1/1/1985

A young man, whose father has died, experiences an array of post-mortal brushes with his dead father. This grey comedy takes the dark subject matter and produces humorous results.

Elusive, The

By Lissa Desbarats | 00:09:00 | Experimental | 1/10/1996

A visual poem, images of women moving backwards are juxtaposed with words of memory, the elusive nature of what is remembered as real and what one wanted to be real.

perhaps/We

By Solomon Nagler | 00:11:12 | Experimental | 1/7/2003

Within the mystical spaces of a Judaic self-doubt, falls a dreaming painter from the fallen Polish city of Lodz. A million murdered spirits bring to him into a world of faded photographs and stone angels, whose petrified teardrops forever scar the widowed landscape of Poland.

harmaline

By Michael Stecky | 00:04:55 | Animation, Experimental | 1/9/2004

Harmaline refers to a chemical compound present in the shamanistic snuff mixture ayahuasca used throughout areas of South America. The video loosely references the psychological effects of the compound harmaline as well as traditions associated with religious use of hallucinogens.
