A SHORT HISTORY OF ABANDONED SETS
POSTCARDS
I DON'T TOUCH THE GOLD
by Ra di Martino, Italy/Morocco, 8 minutes, 2012. Abandoned movie sets are used. The actors are two local kids, born not far from the
film studios—now almost abandoned. The two kids re-enact a few lines from movies that have been shot there, an American horror movie and Lawrence of Arabia. http://vimeo.com/66261554
by Ana Husman, Croatia, 23.5 minutes, 2013. A variety of educational methods used in a Croatian language instructional guide are employed as starting points for developing improvised and performative situations. Additionally, musical numbers have been added using animal costumes derived from the Croatian national insignia.

RADISH
MARITZA TOMMASO OKARVAVENA
TRIP THE LIGHT FANTASTIC
by Diego Ramirez, Mexico, 4.5 minutes, 2013. Radish is a creature without name, gender, or citizenship, a meaningless blob.
by Krasimir Dobrev, Bulgaria, 2 minutes, 2012. Filippo Tommaso Marinetti and I are inseparable friends, but Marinetti died a long time before I was born. Maritza is not a river, but our sister who appears in our dreams. I call my ability and knowledge ‘quasilocatia’ and Marinetti and the old Bulgarian anthem can’t be blamed.
by Kerry Laitala, 12 minutes, 2013.
Circular-patterned motions establish a visual dance upon the screen. A Victorian-era tightrope walker draws attention to the precarious nature of loop-based live performance. Sparks thrown from a grinding wheel recall the ancient affiliation of friction and illumination. This performance ultimately seeks to work with the rhythms of Neal Johnson’s musical accompaniment to sculpt light in real time at the caprice of the projectionist.
