Directing
A self help video that rests somewhere between the realms of code hacking, archaic design and spiritual awakening.
A condensed version of James Benning’s Ten Skies (2004) with the skies removed. Nothing but the clouds remain.
“…[an attempt] to provide new ways of visualizing and conceptualizing spaces people are familiar with. The familiar, by definition, is internalized. By making the familiar estranged, it is possible to re-evaluate it. Two of the main strategies I employ in my work to make the familiar estranged are obscurantism and decontextualization.”
Coney Island, Leslie, ice cream, Mermaid Parade, Niagara Falls, home, Mia’s last breaths.
This video is a continuous fourteen minute and twenty-seven second slow motion shot of The Rotterdam Tower in Liberty City.
Re-make of a lost Hans Richter film.
A re-make of a lost James Benning film titled Gleem, a sex negative film about maintaining those pearly whites.
A cinematic text. An anti-immersive experience, an inner odyssey, a world without sound. A collective experience unique to each viewer.
Shot entirely in one take. This film documents the happenings on one of the strangest streets in Winnipeg.
This piece combines segments from important non-english films in such a way that when these segments are combined together they sound like wĭn'ə-pěg' sĭn'ə-mə-těk' phonetically. One of the intents of this piece is to allow the films themselves to pay homage to the cinema that played and supported them. Director/Editor: Clint Enns Co-Editor: Jaimz Asmundson Titles: Leslie Supnet Running time: 14 seconds This experimental video mash-up was commissioned by the Winnipeg Film Group and the Manitoba Arts Council in order to help the Winnipeg Cinematheque celebrate its 25th anniversary.
An homage to Ann Savage.
An instructional video that lies somewhere between the realms of information and guide to spiritual enlightenment.
In the dead of winter, I went to a dance party in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This video is simultaneously about my inability to interact with people as well as my camera’s inability to properly interpret what was going on around me.
Representations of Mathematics in Cinema (Canada, 2008, 18 minutes) From Werner Herzog's Enigma of Kaspar Hauser to Jodie Foster's Little Man Tate, Enns provides both good and bad examples of mathematical representation in mainstream, narrative cinema. In context, Enns creates a juxtaposition between the way mathematics is presented in narrative and non-narrative cinema.
Shot for the 4th Annual Winnipeg Film Group 48 Hour Film Contest, a contest in which you shoot and edit a short in 48 hours. This short was made entirely on a Fisher Price Pixelvision camera (or a PXL 2000). No additional computer effects were added.
A circuit bent Atari filled with self doubt struggles to qualify as 'good' or 'valid' art.
Botched Eyeball Operation casts a voyeuristic gaze at a common operation gone awry. This is the video documentation of someone losing their sight. For this reason, this video is more horrific than your typical slasher film produced in hollywood.
Debbie Does Ascii(an ascii pr0n from a 1981 BBS) is an ascii animation of a scene from Jim Clark's famous 1978 pornographic film Debbie Does Dallas. These images, like most pornographic images, are abstracted versions of human sexuality. In the days of the BBS, many people actually used images like these as a substitute for “actual” pornography.
Let Me ASMR You
The Death of Natural Language is an ascii animation of a plane crashing into the ground which provides a poetic illustration of how people have lost the ability to express themselves eloquently. Furthermore, the abstracted image mediated by ascii text parallels modern human communication; meaning is often lost or misinterpreted by the process. The music is miko by the beans.
