Broken Rose Portal
“Broken Rose Portal,” raw, wordless and other-worldly, is a deeply visceral abstract dance film about re-routed reality. Aimed to express the point when “what we think we know” is broken, our personal security undermined or we wake up to an altered reality whatever it may be, whether trite or tragic. Quite literally, “Broken Rose Portal,” manifests in vacuous white space, the visual field split by large moving invisible mirrors. Vast space, disorienting images and intense musical score take the viewer away from the mental and into the belly of this very elusive yet real place in the human spirit.

Hardstyle is a subgenre of techno and in the last 5 years has become a big scene amongst the kids of Vienna. They flock together in well-organized groups and put clips of their frenzied dancing on Youtube. The hardstyle kids are now taking over nightclubs with their dance-offs and even have rival groups. We follow a team as they practice for the big dance off!

Push Button House
Push Button House investigates the creation of Adam Kalkin's follow-up to his 2007 Venice Biennale sensation, a shipping container that blossoms into a sleek modern pre-fabricated home. First-person observation and Kalkin's own words shed light on an artist/architect who defies anything traditional.
Part performance piece and part sculpture, the Push Button is an engineering and artistic feat that captured the attention of both the artistic community and public as a bold, yet playful vision on the intersection of art and technology.
This award winning short film has been featured at over a dozen international festivals including AFI Dallas, Newport Beach Film Festival, Seattle International Film Festival, and featured preview footage at the Museum of Modern Art.

Wait for Me (Ross Kauffman)
“Wait for me. Wait for me and I will return.” Thus begins an extraordinary film that began a few years ago when a friend of filmmaker Ross Kaufmann casually mentioned in conversation the disappearance of a brother several decades years earlier. Kaufmann became intrigued with the 'Into Thin Air'-style story of John, a young man who set off on a bicycle trip through Europe and eventually to India to find himself - and was never heard from again. Alternating between John’s loving mother describing her son and his journey, her voiceover as she reads aloud from his letters to her during his trip, and home movies of John, first as a child with an adorable smile and later as a young man, Kaufmann depicts a life’s search for meaning. With heartbreaking sensitivity, he allows John’s mother to tell the story that only a mother could tell, and to explain how, 22 years later, she has followed her son’s written plea to continue to wait for him.

Paradise Regained (Steve James)
He was the painter who brought paradise to the infamous Chicago housing projects, miles of urban housing rife with violence, gangs and crime until they were finally torn down. With Reed's wall-filling murals, residents transformed their living rooms into oases from the ghetto storms outside. Through description and animation, Reed depicts a world that is thankfully gone yet brought alive again by ex-residents who will seek his views of paradise.
