Quote:
Through a series of dream-like episodes, UNFOLDING suggests universal awareness—aloneness, fantasies, searching, touching, loving. In the vague suggestion of a story, nature and sea mix with hints of legend, ritual, and poetry. UNFOLDING becomes one’s own folklore of imaginings. Double and triple exposure blend ocean, hills, sun, woman, and man, to portray subterranean feelings, ethereal feelings, the freeing of self, in loving and lovemaking, culminating in orgasm.Read More »

For the portraits Alshaibi films different women, including his wife Kristie Alshaibi, either fully nude, partially nude, or in various stages of undress. But these aren’t loving erotic gazes. There is a hint of performance art in the way the women writhe, gyrate, and strut in front of Alshaibi’s mostly manic camera that races around their bodies as if excited by each and every part of their form.Read More »

Written and directed by Barr in collaboration with filmmaker James Benning, O Panama features Willem Dafoe as a man confined to his apartment on a winter day as he suffers through an illness.

Only once did the artistic trajectories of James Benning and Burt Barr intersect, but that they did with a Bang!, as O PANAMA is a gem that makes both their oeuvres shine a bit more brightly. In someways, this visit with a deliriously ill man is closer to Barr’s work at the time, like THE WOMAN NEXT DOOR (1984) or THE DOGS (1989), both urban alienation cacophonies done in a very rigorous, reduced style (Barr is now remembered mainly for his minimalist video works showing e. g. an ice cube melting …); then again: O PANAMA shares many a concern with Benning’s early adventures in experimental narrative like HONEYLANE ROAD (1973), 8 1/2×11 (1974) or 11×14 (1977), making this into something like a coda of a development discarded.Read More »
