Composition
Sleep #2
Andy Warhol’s grave has become a tourist attraction that’s live streamed 24 hours a day. This impressionistic desktop film comprising screen recordings shows the grave at various times.
Eight Postcards from Utopia
Found footage documentary consisting entirely of commercials shown during the post-socialist period in Romania. Besides promoting all sorts of products, these absurd and sometimes vulgar advertisements extol the virtues of the new capitalist ideology.
Signed
The latest cinematic adventures of some of the most original filmmakers of our time. Signed celebrates those with a unique artistic signature, beyond the canon.
