Brooklyn, NY 11231
On June 26, Residency Unlimited is proud to present the film screening of 4 newly created short film and video works that were realized for Special Features 2014. Special Features 2014 is a film production program designed to support the creation of short films and videos by New York City based artists. Between March and June 2014, 4 selected artists participated in RU’s residency program for 1 month each.
RU launched the first edition of Special Features in 2010 by converting an art gallery in Lower East Side into a low cost film studio and inviting 12 local artists to create a compelling piece over the course of one day each.
Total run-time approx 25mins, followed by a Q&A.
CURIOUS CHARACTERS – 4min
The animation will feature hundreds of characters from 7 categories – ghost, human, animal, insect, machine, monster and mutant.
SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITIES – 6min
Gragasin scouted Residency Unlimited’s space and found a peculiar hand-painted sign in the bathroom that read “SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITIES,” which inspired her to create this oddball action film.
WORK-IN-PROGRESS – 11 min
DV-to-HD / 2014
An apparent interview with three highlights.
SONG FOR 360 COURT STREET
Running time: 3:00
This video piece responds to the unique situation of having living spaces and the Residency Unlimited gallery space built within the architectural structure of a former church. 4 singers perform a hymn based on a canticle written by St Francis of Assisi in 1224, in 4 part harmony, separately in 4 different spaces that reside within the church walls, and come together at the end in the gallery space.
