Dislocation by the Sea May 2, 2006

Two premiere experimental filmmakers explore the fragility of human existence by setting it against the order of the natural world. One employs geometry to achieve his cinematic ends, while the other weaves a masterwork of found footage.

Program Contains:
Ideas of Order in Cinque Terre
Directed By: Ken Kobland
2005, 32 min
Cinque Terre is the designation for a string of towns dotting the northern Mediterranean coast of Italy. Filmmaker Ken Kobland was invited to spend a few weeks there in November 2004, and Ideas of Order in Cinque Terre is the result of his brief love affair with the landscape of the place. Concentrating on line, geometry, and tones of sound and color, Kobland has crafted a powerful, abstract homage to a little piece of paradise.

The Highwater Trilogy
Directed By: Bill Morrison
U.S.A., 2006, 32 min
Divided into three sections, Bill Morrison's The Highwater Trilogy examines our relationship to the threat of natural disaster by combining archival footage of icebergs, hurricanes, and floods with a soundtrack by David Lang and Michael Gordon.
