PETER TSCHERKASSKY
“With more than 20 films since 1979, Peter Tscherkassky is one of Austria’s most productive filmmakers. What is remarkable, however, is not so much the quantity as the consistent quality of his work. Tscherkassky never allows himself to fall back on certainties, rather, with each film, he is sizing up new territory. Tscherkassky’s films are exceptional because he knows how to pair his strict concepts and his consistent exploration of a subject with a visual richness, revealing new, surprising facets of sensuality with every film he makes.”

“[Robert Banks shares] a love for the aesthetic and physical properties of celluloid. … Banks’ movies are riots of shots, sounds, colors, and camera angles, and are often scratched-on or painted-on. Themes include African-American life, the culture of beauty, and the media.”

JENNIFFER OMAITZ, Eyegasm, 1 min, 2002, 35 mm
“This film was created in 2002 directly on 35mm film stock. The idea was to use the medium of film to animate a drip of paint. This short film is true camera-less animation whereby all the images were hand colored/bleached directly on the celluloid. It was created while I was in my final year of study at the Cleveland Institute of Art and heavily influenced by the films of Stan Brakhage, Norman McClaren, and Len Lye.”
