The Inspirator

The Inspirator is an installation that incorporates projected video, a mirrored fountain and glitter ball/s. The filmed image is of someone dressed as a panda playing the trumpet in the forest. He bursts from a glittery explosion to play his badly synched performance for a few minutes before turning to retreat into the forest bubble. The footage repeats itself on a continuous loop. The footage is projected into a masked circular frame cut at the top and bottom by the wall's limits and the room is painted dark green outside this projected area. The fountain is filled with running water, the sound of which is amplified through speakers that are built into its sides, adding another layer to the installation's sound. The film's soundtrack was produced specially by Matty Skylab.

L'albero

Companion piece to Jovanotti's 1997 seventh studio album 'Lorenzo 1997: L'albero'. “The movie tells a story starting from the end, when the long-awaited L'ALBERO is finally done and we realize we made the PERFECT, DEFINITIVE RECORD! But a lightning destroys the hard disk it was stored on, there's no backup and we have the record company knocking at the door for the master tapes. My band and I then agree to the only possible thing: to redo the album in a very short time by facing an initiatory, esoteric, ramshackle, crazy, mystical, chivalrous, demented journey from which the album we all know will emerge, which is not the PERFECT RECORD... but comes from that idea.” — Jovanotti

Refus 6 - Bienvenue a Utopia

Utopia is a deeply societal city. Within it live the poor and the wealthy, men who transcend their condition, who rise above it or vanish entirely. The radical, the humanist, the advocate of the State as much as the anarchist — all are creations of this city, reflections of its very essence. The Trinity are crystals discovered at the heart of Utopia, once exploited until their depletion. Endowed with a power that remains enigmatic, they constitute an incredible source of energy, but one that functions only within the dome of Utopia. Ground into powder, this crystal induces both miraculous visions and intense hallucinations, making it a coveted and almost mythical substance. A symbol of a radiant future, it was meant to embody the key to universal peace… but it proved to be quite the opposite.

Jethro Tull: Story of the Hare who Lost his Spectacles

'Nonsense' piece inserted between Acts Two and Three of Jethro Tull's A Passion Play, which bears no relation to the rest of The Play. In 1973 concerts, the band left the stage after Act Two and a filmed version of 'The Hare...' was shown. A spoken-word comedic interlude (narrated by Jeffrey Hammond with an exaggerated Lancashire accent) backed by instrumentation. Presented as an absurd fable, the interlude details (with much wordplay) the failure of a group of anthropomorphic animals to help a hare find his missing eyeglasses.

Fracture

Fracture (1977) is a short animated film from France by the Brizzi Brothers (Paul and Gaëtan), a duo better known for their work on feature-length animated films such as Asterix versus Caesar (1985), and a number of films for Disney. Fracture is their earliest work, and isn’t remotely Disney-like, delivering an SF / fantasy scenario of alien inexplicabilities that makes it an animated counterpart of the comic strips that were running in Métal Hurlant (and its US counterpart, Heavy Metal) in the late 1970s.
