Aaron Dylan Kearns

An anthology of one-minute films created by 51 international filmmakers on the theme of the death of cinema.

A special projector was constructed for the event which allowed the actual filmstrip to be burnt at the same time as the film was shown.

A coven of witches gather in Vermont in a feminist collective’s transporting short that shakes off patriarchal scrutiny during the women’s ceremony, where they’re free to remake reality before our eyes.

Witch's Cradle

Jan 1, 1944

The surrealist film shows repetitive imagery involving a string fashioned in a bizarre, almost spiderweb-like pattern over the hands of several individuals, most notably an unnamed young woman and an elderly gentleman. The film also shows a shadowy darkness and people filmed at odd angles, an exposed human heart, and other occult symbols and ritualistic imagery which evokes an unsettling and dream-like aura. Considered an unfinished film.
