In this short Adler plays with the idea of monstrosity, using repetition and eerie background vocals to create a sense of unease.
Waking up after thousands of years of being encased in ice, the voice of a creature is heard, emerging to find that the world is a much different place, although some things remain the same, he is hungry, and he is still an Apex predator, at the top of the food chain. The soundtrack is composed of samples of audio from the largest mass calving event in recorded history (when arctic ice melts and collapses into the ocean). There's a new monster in town.
Vigilance by Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan, 2014
Dempsey and Millan explore the horror genre in this short film, focusing on themes of misogyny and violence.
A woman is dragged through an empty field in scenario reminiscent of horror movies and news stories. But she is alert, impassive, and remains vigilantly focused on the camera. This hand-processed, Super 8 film juxtaposes degraded, awkwardly-staged footage of every woman's worst nightmare with an interior monologue regarding media representation of sexualized violence. The piece asks how violent, misogynist images play out in our psyches and in our culture. The film was commissioned by 8fest, Toronto.
Even Lower Astral Entity by Gwen Trutnau, 2013
Trutnau treats us with a fever dream of sci-fi and horror imagery in this short film. Even Lower Astral Entity explores conspiracy theories and the paranormal, paired with dark synths and sweeping drones.
Even lower astral entity is journey into space and violence, using found footage super 8 and digital imagery.
