WILD SIGNS - Shorts Block #1
9PM, 86min.
"Adam Disturbed a Bird" by David Colagiovanni/Digital/USA/4min
---A band, a bus, some friends, a few birds and a bunch of kids dance and wiggle to a song from the album "In the Ferns" by The Peel in this cut-out animated music video.
"STALL" by Lindsay McIntyre/16mm/Canada/2min
---Lindsay McIntyre is a film artist from Edmonton of Inuk/European descent.
"2nd Day & the End of the World" by Sara Koppel/Hand-Drawn/Denmark/12min --A hand-and-paper-drawn, Hyper-Family-Drama about processes of secession, post-traumatic attacks, tempting body conditions & powerless loneliness in a climate-catastrophic universe.
"Hansel and Gretel Get Kicked Out" by Mille Feuille/Digital/Canada/12min --A found-footage détournement of retail-theft surveillance, in which the criminalizing gaze of the surveillance footage is subverted by recasting capitalism as an abusive, carceral parent. Quotes transcribed from YouTube creators, who were kicked out of their homes as teens, are repurposed to ‘speak back’, buttressed by ‘poor’ low-resolution videos of stealing. Music from Flowers of Romance by Michel Henritzi.
"Melencolia 2: Destitution Signs" by M Woods/Super 8/USA/8min
---A nostalgic retread through the 4th plateau of New York City followed by a short polemic against ethnography and hipsters. Shot between 2006 and 2025.
"Injured?" by Eislow Johnson/16mm/USA/13min
---Need help? Crashouts, manifestation influencers and injury lawyers collide in this breakneck ride through the Midwest. 50 years after attorney ads were first legalized in the U.S., their
ubiquitous self-portraits (allegedly) invoke a churn-and-burn economy of volume, velocity, fears and veneers.
"Color Separation" by Diane Nerwen/Digital/USA/5min
---My father, David Nerwen, was a visual artist and graphic designer. He worked in the printing industry where he applied his keen sense of color to offset lithography and color separation
processes. Color Separation weaves together found and shot footage to reflect on my father’s creative work, his decline in health and the disorientation of losing a parent.
"Augmented" by Raymond Rea/16mm/USA/8min
---AUGMENTED is an experimental non-fiction short, shot completely on 16mm, that analyzes the commonalities between medical augmentation and Transgender alignment. At a time when we are under attack, we realize that we're frightening because we're the future.
"Exhumation (Dirt: Part Four)" by David Finkelstein/MiniDV/USA/20min ---Exhumation is an extended poetic meditation on our relation to the soil, and the energies buried within it. Centuries of history, of conquering and re-conquering, lie beneath our feet,
and the return of the vanquished is inevitable. There has also always been an alternative possibility, within the American landscape, of a more peaceful relationship with the soil, the resting place of our ancestors.
"Happy Birthday, America!" by Neil Ira Needleman/Digital/USA/3min ---On Independence Day, America's birthday, I was thinking about an immigrant friend of mine who had to self-deport because Trump's ICE stormtroopers had become a living nightmare. (This version of the video was revised in 2026.)
