- Moms on Fire12'40''
Production: S 2016
An ordinary neighbourhood in an ordinary town. Two women sit on a sofa and scratch their pregnant bellies. Four days till the due date. The situation is as unbearable as it is unavoidable. It’s simply intolerable. Masturbation isn’t an option, the clitoris can’t even be reached, and the boyfriend is absent, but he’s boring anyway. The only advantage in having another child is that one no longer has to play with the first one. Artist and filmmaker Joanna Rytel uses claymation to candidly address questions and situations that usually go unnoticed.
- Picknick14'40''
Production: S 2010
Tommy and Monika are having a picnic in the nature on a beautiful summer’s day. Everything seems perfect harmony. As if the birds were singing just for them... but soon the picnic shall become more and more confusing for Tommy.
- Shadowland15'20''
Production: S 2014
Images from the Californian landscape pass by at a very slow pace, reminiscent of Scandinavian film noir. Shot on 16mm, the multifarious environment seems to be a place that functions outside the realm of time. Fragments of recognition and memory are resurrected by revisiting locations that have "played" other parts of the world in early Hollywood films. Echoes of classical films are heard within a collage constructed of audio fragments that were once recorded in the Californian landscape.
- Tord and Tord10'46''
Production: S 2010
One day Tord accidentally walks into the apartment next to his own. Another person named Tord lives there, he has just moved in. Tord and Tord start to spend time with each other.
