Microwave Festival - Alchemy Screening Programs

Heaven + Earth + Joe Davis

天堂 + 凡間 + 喬. 戴維絲

20.11.2011 {Sun 日}

21:50

Duration 片長: 85 mins 分鐘 

Heaven + Earth + Joe Davis documents the life of an artist who is driven to pursue questions that can only be answered in the space where science and art lose their individual distinction. 

Why would someone want to encode poetry into the eyes of a fly, fish for paramecium or send transgenic organisms into outer space? Joe Davis’ projects can seem fantastical, impossible or even ill-advised. A deeper look at his work reveals a hidden logic that is surprising and contagious, more philosophy than art. Working with archival film, thousands of photographs and years of shooting around the world, Heaven + Earth + Joe Davis not only answers these questions, but shows they are of great significance at this moment in time.

Outstanding selection of UCLA animation shorts

Duration 片長: 70 mins 分鐘

The UCLA Animation Workshop has been turning out innovative and accomplished artists for over half a century, never more so than in the past decade, as the popularity and commercial impact of the genre has exploded. The secret seems to be striking a perfect balance between technology and creativity. Although the Workshop has always acknowledged the importance of staying abreast of the latest hardware and software, its central emphasis has always been originality. The rule of thumb has guided the program since it was founded in 1948: “one person, one film.” Students learn every phase of the filmmaking process, from scriptwriting to editing. They become masters of a demanding craft as well as master storytellers.
