Short Film: WATERMORPHOSIS, 4min., Germany, Dance

Weightlessly, life moves through dark infinity, a mystical space without threat. The dance embodies the beauty of nature, appears innocent. But as suddenly as it arises, it becomes vulnerable and physical – life is suffocated by dead matter. Plastic. Reality. An estimated 5 – 12 million tons of plastic waste reach our oceans every year. – Where does it come from? Where is it going? What remains? These and other questions are posed by the short film Watermorphosis. Abstractly staged, based on facts, it forms an image, a feeling, a thought – open to interpretations and dreams.

Short Film: FLORETS, 4min., USA, Dance/Music Video

7a18223e32 posterAs I get older I keep realizing that so many things change in life. People go in and out. Trends go in and out. Relationships go in and out. We never know what our next path in life is and that’s what is so astonishing. I relate the Florets to life. They grow, they are a wish, they are alive, they fade away, and then we find new growth.

Short Film: DO NOT SING TO ME, MY BEAUTY, 6min., Netherlands, Music

6c4bd9c723 poster

Do not sing to me, my beauty is an artistic music video in which film and classical music are reinforcing each other. With the sounds of ‘Ne poj krasavitsa pri mne’, from the composer Sergei Rachmaninoff, the music video revolves around the genesis of a young woman. She shares in her singing the painful and beautiful memories of the hidden sides of her personality. Inspired by the psychology of Carl Gustav Jung, this music video shows the contrasts between the persona and the shadow. The mask for the outside world and the hidden aspect of the personality are reflected in a melancholic way in a wealth of water, green leaves, red hair and a white skin.

Director Statement

 

As a young adult, keeping up with sports comes second to school and work. This is why a year ago I made the conscious effort to get back into one of my favorite activities, water polo. Going back to a sport can be a depressing and often humiliating process. I approached Ryan with the idea of this film soon after I realize how far off the horse I had fallen. This is how we came up with the idea of ‘GET BACK.’

Though the story presented in this short is true, it ultimately is not a story about water polo. Get Back is about the physical journey one must take in order to jump back on the proverbial horse.

Ryan, my co-director, was the one person who went on this trek with me. We went on this journey together, we made the film together. Whether it is a pastime, hobby, or sport everyone can relate to growing distant to something. We all have something we hope to one day reclaim. It is just about finding the time and persevering.

-Brad

Director Statement

 

When first listening to this song, the need to dance and be free was so obvious but there was also this very haunting feeling that not all was just that. I wanted this video to create a sense of freedom within a world of confinement.
