“Switch” is a 4-minute short animated film by the young French filmmakers Jean-Julien Pous and Pierre Prinzbach, who describe the film as “a metaphysical thought on the pressure of time on our society.” “Switch” recently won the Jury Grand Prize, Folie-Ô-Skop, in Québec. The film takes place in a surreal world where people are born with clocks on their backs, and life is nothing more than a constant rat-race. Humanity, as portrayed through the eyes of a business-calibrated mannequin, is in a struggle within itself about the ever-increasing demands of time in the face of important choices that need to be made.
The mannequin attempts to cope with this struggle by doubling itself, which then leads to an infinite re-doubling of itself. Its attempted solution only leads the mannequin to experience a sense of anonymity among the rapidly accumulating multitudes of its identical selves. Further, the unsuccessful solution leads the mannequin’s frustrating journey to end in a state of solitude, confronted by a timeless, boundless oceanic world.

Soupy Sales, whose wacky television routines turned the smashing of pies in people's faces into a zany art form, died Thursday night at the age of 83. A forerunner to Pee Wee Herman as a children’s television show host with wide adult appeal, Soupy bombarded television screens throughout most of his life. Soupy Sales became both a television favorite of youngsters and an anarchic comedy hero for teenagers and college students.
He reached his slapstick comedy highpoint in the mid-1960s on “The Soupy Sales Show,” a widely syndicated television program based in New York City. Soupy Sales became the Godfather of pie-throwing, and by his own count some 20,000 pies were hurled at Soupy or at visitors to his television shows in the 1950s and ’60s. His celebrity pie-victims included Frank Sinatra, Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis, all of whom turned up just for the honor of being creamed.
By 1966, his wild stunts heightened Mr. Sales’s appeal to young people as a comedian who loved to tease authority, and when he headlined a rock ’n’ roll show at New York’s Paramount Theater on Easter of that year, as many as 3,000 teenagers were lined up throughout Times Square hoping to get seats for his morning performance. Mr. Sales was later a longtime panelist on television’s “What’s My Line?” and a host for a variety talk show on WNBC Radio in the 1980s.
This piece includes a number of vintage b&w photographs and a 1959 video from “The Soupy Sales Show: Lunch with Soupy Sales.” In this very funny, somewhat bawdy video, the television crew from “The Soupy Sales Show” sneaked an exotic dancer onto the set as a special surprise for Soupy’s birthday!Soupy Sales, whose wacky television routines turned the smashing of pies in people's... more
“Loneliness” is a very touching 3-minute animated short film from the BBC/Northern Ireland series called “Days like This,” produced by Evelyn McGrath and animated by Fran Power. In the film, the proprietor of a bookshop sits all alone in his little shop most of each day. His patience is severely strained by the few people who do come in, because almost all of the time they just want to look and look, not buy. However, at the surprising end of the film, the shopkeeper finds redemption in the most unlikely of places.

“American Cantos” is a wonderfully tranquil 3-minute short film by cinematographer Joe Taylor, which provides scenes of visual poetry that are inspired by the mystique of remote locations and landscapes, often found in the American West. Taylor further describes the inspirations that influence his filmmaking: “My passion for cinematography is fulfilled only when I find that special place that overwhelms with its beauty, tranquility, and even some latent danger. I often find beauty in the most uninspiring locale and my gift is creating a scene that encourages the spectator to find it too. These rare moments are born of waiting at remote and inhospitable locations for hours for just the right light and magic to emerge, only to return time and time again before being satisfied. These scenes are fleeting and are my labors of love.”

“Construct” is an ongoing project by photographer Laura Kicey, which represents the interplay between architecture and visual culture. The series of images presented here is a collection of architectural building facades in Philadelphia that do not exist. The combined details of the buildings are the artistic result of Laura Kicey’s ongoing photo-explorations that use photographic parts blended together; the intricate details of doors, bricks, peeling paint and mortar are blended in ways that give each of the recreated buildings new perspectives, colors and settings.
The “Construct” series began about two years ago, when Kicey began experiencing health problems that prevented her from being as mobile as she previously had been. It occurred to Kicey that she could use her archive of architectural detail photographs to build her own buildings, so that while she was no longer able to be out exploring, she could make her own places of imaginary escape. Kicey began creating places that were comprised of detailed images from settings and locations to which she had been in the past. Laura Kicey's imaginary, recreated buildings represent places that Kicey wishes she could visit and see, and she finds that the process of creating them is quite comforting.
Includes a number of high-res. color photographs of Laura Kicey's very creative work, as well as an extensive, full-view slide show of additional fascinating photographs.“Construct” is an ongoing project by photographer Laura Kicey, which represents... more
