Carrick O’Reilly, Romane Reitzman, Sharon Vreeburg, Mia Poulsen

Brian Gray

A hybrid analog/digital experimental film created through 16mm optical printing, direct-to-film intervention, and found-footage assemblage. Digitized from a live audiovisual performance with modular synthesizer accompaniment, each projection transforms the material through new interactions, making every screening a singular iteration while preserving traces of previous forms.

MEAT GRINDER

This stop-motion explores the tragic fate of a generation taken hostage by a perverse system rife with double standards and manipulative propaganda. The system feeds its inhabitants, preparing them for slaughter, where war grinds everyone without distinction, transforming them into fuel for the relentless war machine.

In 1919 San Francisco, a man is standing on the ledge of a building ready to jump. Desperately, he relives in his memories the absurd and shocking episode that led him to the brink of suicide: the encounter with the monstrous and mythological Great Old One, DAGON.
