RABBIT'S MOON Kenneth Anger (1972 cut) 17'
A short avant-garde film directed in the style of mime and Kabuki theatre. The title refers to the Japanese myth about a rabbit on the moon. The story focuses on Pierrot trying to obtain the unattainable moon. Harlequin appears and entertains Pierrot with sword play, juggling, and dance. Pierrot remains distraught, so Harlequin summons Columbina to help uplift Pierrot. Although the film was originally made in 1950, two further cuts were created, one in 1972 and another in 1979, both with different soundtracks. The 1972 version soundtrack features the 1950's and 1960's pop songs interspersed with gamelan and kecak music.

TO BUILD A HOME David Reeve (2007) 3'
This video was made for the Radar Music Festival and it is a take on love, age, death, life, ballet and loss.

The political is not an open conflict with representation, but indirectly with Nature. An absurd duality between the Animalizing man and the humanized animal that is not necessarily hostile and competitive but rather a risky effort to communicate.
