MALA JUNTA [BAD COMPANY]
GERMANY, Music Video, 2009, HDV, 5 min.
(WORLD Premiere, DWF 2010)
Dir: Mark Fleig • Prod: Sandra Rausch
Featuring: Diana Del Valle, Juan Camerlingo


It takes two to tango through time and space. One of the world’s best tango couple performs Mala Junta (bad company), a tango written in 1927 by Julio De Caro and Pedro Laurenz. In seven different places Diana del Valle and Juan Camerlingo dance their passion to the music played by the contemporary Argentinean orchestra Color Tango. The film follows the motion, shows every single step through different surroundings and miscellaneous times and creates a dance, which was never danced this way and will never be danced like this before. The shooting and editing is due to the movement of the dancers. Mala Junta is no music video, Mala Junta is a dance video.

A man and a woman check each other out from separate sides of the street in a busy intersection. When the light turns to walk they step into the street where they both see images of the life they 'could have' together in the crowd. They meet in the middle of the crosswalk lock eyes for a minuscule moment but the crosswalk light flashes and they are forced to move on their busy day.

MUSEUM: ADRIENNE PIERCE
USA, Music Video, 2010, HDV, 4 min.
(WORLD Premiere, DWF 2010)
Dir: Allison Beda • Writers: Adrienne Pierce, Allison Beda
Prods: Allison Beda, Adrienne Pierce • Featuring: Adrienne Pierce

Featuring the first single "Museum" from Adrienne Pierce's brand new album "Oh Deer," MUSEUM stars the “delightfully charming” Adrienne Pierce (who can be heard singing in the Vince Vaughn feature film "Couple’s Retreat") and features the balloon sculptures of renowned international artist Addi Somekh (who recently appeared on Martha Stewart Living). Allison and Adrienne made the video themselves, in the livingroom, with a single borrowed light bounced into paper taped to a mic stand, using a borrowed camera and a lot of imagination to create a film that captures the spirit of the song and a fun work of art in itself!

MELT

Dir:
Noémie LaFrance | Prod: Natalie Galazka | Featuring: Sarah Donnelly, Celeste Hastings, Mare Hieronimus, Adi Or Kfir, Teresa Kochis, Meghan Merrill, Marcy Schlissel, Elizabeth Wilkinson

A short dance film inspired by the Melt live performance work depicting a delicate, sensual and dramatic experience of the physical body in exile and surrender. Perched on a wall and wrapped in sculptural beeswax and lanolin costumes that are slowly melting away, dancers progress in euphoria and exhaustion as if approaching the sun, melting until their souls escape their ephemeral bodies and disintegrate into light.

Blending Canon5D with Panasonic HPX500 cameras, "Nutty: Back in Black," captures the LIVE performance of this jazz fusion band performing a hard rock classic. Filmed completely live at the Hip Kitty lounge in Claremont, careful lighting, staging, and shot selection (along with a 12-track live music recording) were necessary for this technical triumph. In all, the shoot was just like Sonny's martini - complex, but beautifully smooth...
