The Genius

Emily Breer, Joe Gibbons

Joe Gibbons, Karen Finley

A ramshackle underground SF satire set and shot in the self-absorbed art world of lower Manhattan, written, produced, and directed by Joe Gibbons, who also plays one of the lead parts. Gibbons plays a mad scientist who's developed a technique for transferring personalities from one person's body to another; he becomes obsessed with an outlaw artist (played by performance artist Karen Finley) who destroys paintings in various galleries as a form of anarchist, anticapitalist protest.

Superhero

Emily Breer

A super fast fiction about a Dionysian type superhero who must sometimes get rid of his Batman side, a little too nice. SUPERHERO is my amused response to our tradition of comic book heroes.

Fluke

Brute Charm

Emily Breer

BRUTE CHARM consists primarily of images of animals I shot in Africa, combined with animation on an optical printer. A steady stream of conscious and unconscious visual choices loosely constructs a journey through the animal kingdom and my thoughts which developed around it. BRUTE CHARM is an exploration into our unsocialized selves. Lion Sex Flamingo Death and a yellow rubber glove in the Kenyan wild. There's mud in your Ear easier than an Elephant thru the eye of the beholder.

The Phony Trilogy

Emily Breer, Joe Gibbons

Joe Gibbons

A real-time video-meets-digital animation trilogy of shorts featuring the highly excited (and mildly delusional) Joe Gibbons. Brilliant computer animation by collaborator Emily Breer provides an additional layer of biting commentary.

Spiral

Emily Breer

Out of time, out of reach of voice, fuzzy and without logic, skeletons dance with raw meat spinning. A horse race within the walls of Berlin. And two halves that leave a gaping hole.

Moona Luna

Emily Breer

The inspiration for MOONA LUNA came from my wish to make a painting in which I could evolve. That summer it had been twenty years since we had walked on the moon. I was jealous of that, so I decided to paint my walls to make a lunar decoration. During the fall I traveled across Europe and wrote a lot. Moona Luna is the result of these two moments. This is my first trip to the moon. On the set I authorized Doctor Bonami to become Mr. Bad Actor. Virgins always say everything, so I kept the first shot. The story evokes three sailors working on a French boat and a professor of physics. There may not be whales, but there are many other things.
