“I once became infatuated with someone I could never know,” William E. Jones states at the outset of his probing essay film Finished, the director’s voice running calmly over scenes purloined from an old black-and-white Hollywood movie. “He was a loner and a rebel, a tragic character determined to sacrifice himself for some higher purpose. Most people dismissed him as a lunatic or a fraud, but they had been deceived by appearances. I wanted to fall into his arms and say that I cared about him for who he really was.
From 16mm to super 8mm, remixed archival footage to newly shot live action narratives, Red Bank's Indie Street Film Festival is proud to present its first ever program of experimental short films. This highly imaginative and engaging program will explore the nuances of analog nostalgia, choosing film as a medium, and what filmmakers are doing to preserve and archive their works in both a physical and digital sphere.
A special program from some of the most exciting, disturbing and inspiring queer experimental short films screened at the 13th XPOSED International Queer Film Festival in May.

Unruly Archives is a program composed of emerging filmmakers whose works interrogate colonialism, cultural erasure, and historical and political truths that have been erased from the "traditional" filmic archive.

In equestrian culture, Groundwork is comprised of exercises that mature a horse’s response to its rider’s cues and the environment. This program of landscape films from the 1960s through 1980s similarly demonstrates structural and formal methods used by artists to finely tune their perception of natural phenomena. In The Sky on Location, French cinematographer Babette Mangolte focuses her camera on seasonal light and its variegation of the American West’s colour palette.
