Impakt Festival 2001
HIGHLIGHTS
ON TOUR

This program features a selection of the most remarkable and exciting 
films and videos of Impakt Festival 2001. It includes works of rising 
stars in the worlds of fine arts and film, and prize-winning artists 
such as Annika Larsson and Miranda July. The program combines 
aesthetic visualizations of the human condition, investigations in 
innovative narration, Freud, family life and subversions of mass 
media.

Lasso, Salla Tykkä (Finland 2000, 4min)
A short movie about dramatic puppy love, or the beauty of a limber 
boy's body. About desire, being young and how a whole range of 
emotions can be evoked without words.

Getting Stronger Every Day, Miranda July (USA 2001, 6min)
An alienating video that deals with the scary thought of not taking 
part in society any longer. The feeling of not belonging and not 
fitting in, becoming estranged from daily life.

15.000.000 parachutes, Sebastian Diaz Morales (The Netherlands 2001, 25min)
"15.000.000 parachutes" is a story both inside and outside the frames 
of what we understand as real. 15.000.000 refers to the number of 
inhabitants in Jakarta, Indonesia. One parachutist attempted various 
jumps from the national monument of Jakarta.

Candide, John  Davis (USA 2001, 9min)
A stream of TV images leads the viewer of this video to a state of 
superficial awareness of reality. Sounds from cartoons are heard with 
these TV shots through which even the most shocking images become 
surreal. Where is the line between fiction and reality?

PDOA public display of affection, Guillaume Graux (Belgium 2000, 24min)
In this video people meet, make love and read books in the midst of 
endless supermarket shelves. Graux shows us an absurd society in 
which people are very intimate with each other in public, yet at the 
same time they never really seem to connect. As closed entities they 
move through endless vacuums.

Cigar, Annika Larsson (Sweden 1999, 7min)
An elderly businessman offers a cigar to another man, who could be 
his younger protégé. The significant part this cigar plays in the 
typical business like environment is blown up to indecent 
proportions. This particular portrayal of the cigar evokes 
speculations on all details of the behaviour of the two.

Recruitment Video, Ann Course and Paul Clark (UK 2000, 3min)
A video filled with Freud, family life, sexual lust, mass production 
of babies and parents depicted as sharks or sexmachines. All this 
supported by the thrilling music of an old punk hit.

Special Report, Bryan Boyce (USA 1999, 4min)
With some subtle cutting and pasting, Boyce unmasks TV hosts as 
maniacs eager for power and sex, who use electronic hypnosis to lead 
the entire world population into slavery.
