Marko A. Kovačič - Song of Flesh and Image Was Made Body (00:15:56)
Production: ŠKUC - Forum / koprodukcija Marijan Osole - Max, 1985
The story of the narrative is based on the genre of crime fiction. The images are filled with citations from the history of art and cinema (Man Ray, Sergei Eisenstein) and are further stratified and multiplied. The dynamics of the image fraught with typical cinematic suspense is matched with the music full of suspense (Bernard Herrmann). (Source: DIVA)

Miha Vipotnik - Video 8 Sketch Tape No. 1 (00:39)
Production: CalArts, 1988
A video sketch of the performer Dee McMillan and her project Log On poetically discusses the undeniable human freedom of creation. An insignificant sound from the background triggers a flow of associations and changes the course of editing. The banality of electricity cable is erased with a metaphor of umbilical cord and at the same time the cable defines the duration of the video. (Source: Videodokument)

The woman transforms into a spy, who executes her misson in the name of a myth of the future. We witness moments of obsession with her mother, general tiredness, search of employment and alike. T...
