Central Florida Film and Video Festival

Experimental

Any production of non-commercial nature that avoids normal narrative lines and any realistic depiction of the world. It presents what is often a personal or subjective expression of the filmmaker's psyche through an exploration of the film or video medium itself.


Examples:

She's Just Growing Up, Dear

Director: Julia Tell
1st Place Experimental 1992.

Powerful recollections of a woman's emerging realization that she was sexually abused as a child by her father are combined with kitsch 50's media imagery to produce this haunting examination of the profound emotional complexity of incest. It contrasts the constructed images of American family values with the unforgettable voice of reality. Currently being distributed by Women Make Movies.

Allure of the Threshold


Director: Bret Lama
. 1st Place Experimental 1993.

This film details the experience of a woman forced into facing the dark reality of her soul. Surrounded by the walls of her subconscious, she focuses on the only light she can see, an open window that allows her to ignore the darkness that engulfs her. As her world becomes louder and chaotic, she can no longer sit in ignorance and is thrown to the torment of knowledge. Distributed by Alternative Filmworks.
