Corolla

The Latin title ​‘Corolla’ refers to the crown of a flower. The film consists of seven close-ups of eyelids on which a different petal is placed each time. The poetry of the images varies: sometimes the eye blinks so much that the flower seems like a moving butterfly; sometimes the applied leaf is so thin that the gentlest wind seems enough to make it curl up. The physical support of the film is part of the viewing experience, highlighting it’s tactile and sculptural qualities. The focus is how the vegetable and the human touch each other, and how a subtle intertwining occurs on the border of those two worlds.

Heavy Traffic

A white dropout struggles to become a cartoonist and filmmaker, drawing inspiration from the harsh, gritty world around him. Still sharing his rundown apartment with his middle-aged parents, an oafish slob of an Italian father and a ditzy nutcase of a Jewish mother, he's ridiculed and looked down upon by his friends, hypocrites who run with violent gangs and the Italian Mafia, and a shallow Black girl who makes her living downtown with the pimps and pushers. The cartoonist gets a chance to pitch a film idea to a movie mogul, but the story proves too outrageous: a far-future Earth, depleted by war and pollution, where a mutant antihero challenges and kills God.
