KING JAMES VERSION GENESIS CHAPTER NINETEEN

How religious narratives, particularly the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, shape moral and territorial frameworks while exposing the instability of interpretation itself. By adhering to the biblical text yet acknowledging the multiplicity implied in “version,” the piece confronts the impossibility of pure transmission of divine meaning. Its motion-captured performance translates scripture into digital ritual, reflecting religion’s performative repetition rather than belief. The transformation of human movement into clay-rendered 3D data underscores both the futility and faithfulness of human attempts to reproduce the sacred, where visible imperfections become signs of humanity’s flawed mediation of a presumed perfect divine source.

It's the summer of 1987, and the young Schuster family from the Leipzig district is heading on vacation. With their Trabant and trailer, they set off for a small private accommodation near the border of what was then West Germany. This autobiographical animated documentary follows the family on their journey, providing a glimpse into the curious details of a typical GDR vacation so close to the western border. Between the Volkspolizei, border patrols, shortages, and idyllic beach scenes in East Germany's vacation paradise, this animated docufilm swings back and forth. Personal memories and carefully documented facts merge into a travel diary brought to life through animation.

Skin for Skin

Skin for Skin is a dark allegory of greed and spiritual reckoning set during the early days of the fur trade. In 1823, the Governor of the largest fur-trading company in the world travels across his Dominion, extracting ever-greater riches from the winter bounty of animal furs. In his brutal world of profit and loss, animals are slaughtered to the brink of extinction until the balance of power shifts, and the forces of nature exact their own terrible price. With nods to Melville and Coleridge, directors Carol Beecher & Kevin Kurytnik have created a visually stunning contemporary myth about the cost of arrogance and greed.

The Bear

In the middle of summer a forester visits a man who reported that a bear destroyed his farm. He wants to know exactly what happened. Everything started with a wedding. While the guests cried at the church, no one remembered it later as vodka was poured like water. Although the forest path seemed straight on the way back, there was a sudden and unexpected change of circumstances. Zofia Antoniak's diploma film is a funny anecdote about a spectacular clash between man and the bear.

Night Moves

In Takeshi Murata's video, in collaboration with Billy Grant, computer generated scans are utilized to recreate his every day environment in high tech 3D. The video starts in his studio, where his computer, desk and chair are “haunted” - dissolving and reforming in a myriad of mirrored shapes, going from recognizable to abstract to obliterated. The scans blend with Murata’s own computer rendered fragments, further emphasizing the high and low, real and unreal. The result can be seen as an homage to both Walt Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and Bruce Nauman’s Mapping the Studio.
