Piotr Kamler - Une Mission Ephemere 1993

"Kamler's animated cinema suggests a singular variety of science fiction. Completely unalike to more conventionally linear and text-based narratives, Kamler's films instead explore a series of dynamic visual motifs. Typically, the conclusion of these films is less suggestive of resolution, than it is of recurring episode."

Undone by Hayley Morris

"A drifting man struggles to pull objects from the roiling sea below him and scrambles to keep the objects from slipping through his fingers. A stop-motion animation using textured and tactile materials, as well as personal imagery, that represents the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Inspired by my grandfather."

Jesse and I spent many hours in a small warehouse studio space making this film. I can't thank Jesse enough for his help and dedication to "RUNG". It was screened at the Hiroshima Film Festival 2010." Chuck Duke
