Cracker Ingenuity Directed by Priscilla Elliot Leonard Knight, who has spent 20 years and 80,000 gallons of paint creating a candy colored mountain in praise of God.

Trial of Jack Directed by Shari Berman Please note: This film will be presented in 3D, 3D glasses will be available for the audience

The Trial of Jack is from an imagined era of film history. It combines the style of the Expressionists of the late 1920s with the technology of the late 1950s to create "3-D Expressionism."

This motion picture is a "just-so" story about a Jack-in-the-box in which a doll named Jack believes his stardom puts him above the law. However, the other toys in the playroom have different ideas. "The Trial of Jack" serves as an allegory of the times; it reminds us of the way things are "supposed" to be as opposed to how they often are in today's society.

Dreamdrops Directed by Alexa Höber A journey in this experimental music video through a dream world with impressions that cross the line to real life.

Revenge of the Butterfly Directed by Jona Pelovska Dreamscapes, shadows, the other, the nether, the mirror of awareness breaking down into the nightmare of the haunted dreamer. A film about the inner journey, the fear, the escape, the quest and the spiritual collision of a woman who wakes up from a nightmare into the horror of reality - a mirror of her darkest inner recesses.

American Rash Directed by Tom Borden All the world’s an american rash…or something like that. But is the inspiration simple corporate assault or the desire to explore a single sentence and use it as the vehicle for artistic expressions and a commentary on filmmaking process itself

Square Millimeter of Opportunity: Houses/Cars/Geese Directed by Luke Lamborn This series seeks to emulate the possibility of extraordinary but overlooked occurences as if captured by a passing videographer. This series is informed by the writings of Carlos Castaneda, who described rare moments when our normal perceptions of daily life would shift dramatically and without warning.

Fruits of Boredom Directed by Jorg Ruhenbeck (Hanns-Marcus Muller is co-director)  A parody of art cristicism revealing the irrepressible creativity that survives the boredom of the school day and including student works in the tradition of American Pop-up Art and Rheinish pop-out-for-a-beer art.”
