Chronic
directed by Joe Kelly Canada, Experimental, 2003, 16mm, B&W, Optical, 00:03:30 Chronic is an experimental dance film that explores body machine ideas. It is inspired by the work of Etienne-Jules Marey and Eadweard Muybridge and other photographic pioneers who studied motion with photography before the advent of motion picture cameras.

directed by Steffen Frech USA, Music, 2003, DV, Color, Magnetic Stereo, 00:04:04 Torsten Kretchzmar the German electro pop performer is described as the love child of Kraftwerk and Sprockets and is now bringing you the next best German word since Fahrvergnügen with his project “Entschlossenheit”. His lyrics are interpreted by the abstract dance artist Tanner Coleman Stewart. More German than Kraftwerk, the Bauhaus, and Sprockets combined, Torsten Kretchzmar rocks the soft-spoken, androgynous artist to a tee in this excellent techno concept project. With a dead-pan behind-the-scenes documentary and videos complete with Oskar Schlemmer-esque dance moves and over-the-top filters, it's not only solidly catchy, teutonic music, but a completely fun and inspiring Gesamtkunstwer... more info | ||
