The Valley where LOAB Lives

LOAB is a creature of generative AI. The product of an anti-prompt, it haunts – as both a glitch and a ghost – the worlds of human-machine-made horror. In The Valley Where LOAB Lives, Georg Tiller takes his film craft by the horns and creates a whole new brand of storytelling: the Promptus. The Promptus openly reveals its origins and the problems inherent within it: “Working with generative models means working within systems that are designed to obscure their own origins.” In this film, he has found an ingenious solution to this problem, linking LOAB’s generated probabilities with the monstrous improbabilities of the film genre. Observing with a winking eye.

Tongues Untied

Marlon Riggs, with assistance from other gay Black men, especially poet Essex Hemphill, celebrates Black men loving Black men as a revolutionary act. The film intercuts footage of Hemphill reciting his poetry, Riggs telling the story of his growing up, scenes of men in social intercourse and dance, and various comic riffs, including a visit to the "Institute of Snap!thology," where men take lessons in how to snap their fingers: the sling snap, the point snap, the diva snap.
