Camera (Notes on Film 10)
The experimental short negotiates the conventions of the invisible camera. In a bare room without windows or doors, someone puts up a futile against the steady gaze of a bodiless camera. The camera evades the protagonist´s physical attacks by changing positions by means and hard cuts.
Notes on Noise 01 Hoffmann's Hymn
What looks like a beefy sea cucumber sunk in a toaster without casing is actually a computer-controlled organ of speech. From a YouTube clip of the singing latex mouth montaged after and next to itself, Norbert Pfaffenbichler generates an unconventional collage of images.

Nicholas Ray - Notes on Style
With the release of Nicholas Ray's debut They Live by Night in 1948, a new style emerged in American narrative film.

Ray was part of a generation that sought new forms of characterization, new forms of acting and behavior, ..
Notes of a Wind Chime
"What started as a COVID response film and because I missed a street in NYC evolved into a diary jukebox essay on navigating connection and healing. I wanted this to be my first truly 'positive' film. If Jonas is insanity, then this film is searching for serenity, acceptance and peace. Also the first film where I truly let go of trying to impress ..

Notes on the Buffalo Conference: “Autobiography in American Independent Cinema”
During the 1970s I shot, helped to make, or commissioned about ten document films, mainly about film-makers. This film is one of them. It was made with Dan Ochiva, who acted as cameraman on about half of the footage. I shot the rest, and then edited the film. It is a record of a conference held at the State University of New York at Buffalo on Marc..

Carnet de notes 2006-2007
Pendant un an, d’octobre 2006 à octobre 2007, j’ai tenu un carnet de notes en super 8. Commencé comme un journal de bord, le carnet devait enregistrer au fil des semaines mes impressions et mes réflexions sur le présent. La nécessité de se dévoiler et de se comprendre s’est alors imposée : m’interrogeant sur mes passions, mes obsess..
