Although he has been limited to bit parts, the actor Tony Longo is an axiom of American action cinema: the giant who is too soft-hearted for the job. Composed of three short movies, Hey, Asshole!, Adam Kesher and You Fucking Dickhead!, The Tony Longo Trilogy brings together all of the actor’s scenes in three of his most memorable films: The Takeover (Troy Cook, 1995), Living in Peril (Jack Ersgard, 1997) and Mulholland Dr. (David Lynch, 2001).

'Ben' and 'Amber' have highly sensitive and very much sought after information in their possession. Information that has had them running for their lives.

Once born from the same matter, two forms slowly grow into vastly different beings, suspended between attraction and resistance. As they merge and separate, intimacy becomes an unstable state where closeness and individuality struggle to coexist.

A meditation on our fantastic condition of mortality and impermanence... The peacock painted on the window will never dance or speak. It is only the peacock that lived in the forest which used to speak, dance, and walk in a sweet manner.

Set in the landscapes of Los Angeles, this hybrid documentary seeks to explore harmful cyclical occurrences that exploit natural resources and bring us closer to extinction. Following the discovery of a mysterious metal structure in the desert, this film documents the encased objects found within the structure. This film is made up of speculative recreations of the study conducted, analysis of the found objects, and surrounding landscapes.

In 1934 an experiment by an amateur-scientist couple began. Named after a genus of moths, the Automeris Project placed a group of young children in an enclosed forest, leaving them to fend for themselves. On return visits, the couple presented self-made films, accompanied by live music, depicting the outside world. For them, these images were the perfect replica of reality seen in their expeditions. Nevertheless, the films were carefully framed, edited, and manipulated to induce a transformation and provoke the development of a new society.

Two neighbors bond after a shared traumatic event, a continuous home development creeps into nature's threshold, and a community celebrates freedom. The Instability of Clouds navigates an ecosystem in decay and growth while traversing across its spaces of comfort, spectacle, and disaster. Through the observation and construction of facets within a suburban neighborhood in Southern California, connections between landscape, neighbors, and environment ruminate on the American Dream and its resonances.

The three films you will see are shot-for-shot reproductions of the compilation film Instant Life (1981). Each film in Instant Life (1981) was a remake of an earlier film also called Instant Life (1941). The earlier Instant Life (1941) was a single film, not a compilation. In 2017, we decided to recreate Instant Life (1981). We did not attempt to recreate Instant Life (1941) because that Instant Life is lost. Instant Life (1941) was a silent film presented with live musical accompaniment. After the show, audience members received a printed riddle. Instant Life (1981) is a sound film. The riddle is part of the film. No answer to the riddle exists.

Created from material developed during "The Thoughts That Once We Had," this short film presents an anthology of 26 scenes from films made between 1904 and 2015, each depicting trains arriving at stations. The sequences are arranged in a serial structure, with black-and-white scenes in the first half paired with corresponding color sequences in the second half, forming a symmetrical visual progression.

A meditation on the relationship between humans, nature, and technology.

A video is a stream of information, and this moving image relies upon the relationship of static frames, which are algorithmically determined. In the language of video compression, the (I) frames are the reference points between which movement is interpolated. Manual deletion or misplacement of (I) frames results in a video glitch known as a datamosh: the stream of nformation d srupted, d sorgan zed … nterupeted … lost … the ( ) frame removed, rejected … BUT, reclaimed, the (I) frames, the burning bolts of the machine, are at once reasserted in this dance macabre ... (I) FRAME is a mechanical ballet set to the original tempo that characterizes motion on screen at 24 "(I) frames" a second...

An examination whereunto is joined a discourse of the causes, continuance and qualities of such phenomena in nature; occasioned as a matter in contest with those who have deemed these lights to be manifestations of the paranormal.

This is not a film about miniature horses... Rather, this documentary explores the idea of perfection as understood by The American Miniature Horse Association Standard of Perfection. The film questions the nature of such ideals as they are applied to the miniature horses of The Quicksilver Ranch in Solvang, CA .

…..the moment the shadow swells is the moment the image is realized….

Incoherent sources for a resonant system inspired by Gordon Gould's notes on the feasibility of light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.

The great voyages to the "New World" were seen as expanding the frontiers of the visible and displacing those of the invisible, therefore maps from that time render the real and imaginary. The film follows a voyage of the Brazilian Military in search of an imaginary island with the same name as their country. In the myth from 1483 Brazil, or Hy-Brazil, is known to exist to the west of Ireland and above the Fortunate Islands. Visão do Paraíso is an examination of the capacity of the human imagination and computer simulations to construct environments. Amidst the fine threshold of the real, simulated, and imagined, the film analyzes the contemporary ideas of virtual reality and their ambition to expand the frontiers of the physical world into a "New World".

In Cannery Row, John Steinbeck refers to the Monterey dawn as the hour of pearl or "the interval between day and night when time stops and examines itself." Transposed to a community of fishermen at the Ventura Pier in 2017, these words offer a new kind of insight.

Three times the same strip of film. Look not for what it ought to be, but for what is actually happening. Part 1: The latent image forms; Part 2: The latent image expressed, the chemical record; Part 3: The record decoded.
