Sleep Has Her House
The shadows of screams climb beyond the hills. It has happened before. But this will be the last time. The last few sense it, withdrawing deep into the forest. They cry out into the black, as the shadows pass away, into the ground. (imdb)
Hunter
Hunter (2015) - Short Film
It is nightfall. A hunter lurks in the darkness, wandering further towards the impenetrable. Do the meanings lie in the stream, in the mountains, the stars, or in the death of things? (imdb)
Womb
Womb (2017) - Short Film
The Mouth screams. It swells, hunting the night like a snake in the dark. The laceration tears through the stars, devouring its meal. An infinite sea of pale flesh. Death's renewal awaits, as the bodies pass into the void. (imdb)
Hinterlands
Hinterlands (2016) - Short Film
Through a structuralist and simultaneously ambiguous form, the image's reality treads closer to the abstract, leaving the sunset and trees behind. (imdb)
Nightwalk
Nightwalk (2013) - Short Film
Several figures move through the darkness on a cliff-edge. An inaudible conversation near the brow of the cliff may be the cause for the group to disband. The rest of the film follows the solitary journey of the youngest member of the group, until she rests; where land meets the sea. Inspired by the philosophy of Remodernist Film. (imdb)
Closer
Closer (2016) - Short Film
Upon liminal spheres where dreams are woven, Adrift between stars and the trees, I pass closer to the golden dawn. There’s a warmth beyond the shadow. I feel the aurum under my eyelids, And I hope the birds will sing. Oh, I hope I will hear the birds sing... Perhaps a knowledge that never comes. for David Robert Jones (8th January 1947 - January 10th 2016) (from Vimeo.com)
Shadows
Shadows (2015) - Short Film
Through a series of hauntingly beautiful, chiaroscuro vignettes, the poignant deterioration of an elderly woman's life is observed (IMDb).
The Ethereal Melancholy of Seeing Horses in the Cold
A silent short, focusing on the beauty and melancholia of seeing horses in the cold fog, and the metaphors that manifest, as time passes (IMDb).
The Sadness of the Trees
Two separate, yet poetically connected films that act as a threnody on nature, with the trees as silent observers to Man's insidious desolation. Mikel Guillen's film is dedicated to the artist Hiroshi Sugimoto. Scott Barley's film is dedicated to the artist Vija Celmins (IMDb).
