watching a lot of new work this winter.  We've announced the 2010 jury

2010 Jury Selections

There are no cash prizes or predetermined awards at Migrating Forms.
Instead, a panel of artists or curators devises written distinctions
according to whatever criteria they feel most relevant to the program as a
whole, indicative of unique achievement, and/or beneficial to the
filmmakers.

The 2010 jury was comprised of Rebecca Cleman, Ben Coonley and Thomas Zummer,
all of whom are based in Brooklyn, NY.

Highest Honor: The Inominatum Award
'Inominatum,’ a Latin term bearing the connotations of both ‘nameless’ and
‘disobedient,’ is the best representation of the festival's spirit of
migration, innovation and borderlessness, and the Inominatum Award
recognizes a distinguished work that both encompasses and eludes any common
distinctions, setting itself in motion, on edge, with excellence.

Andrew Lampert for Considerable Distance (Something Better) and The Golden
Mean (co-director Saul Levine)

Best Long Form Work

"Everson rejects the role of cultural explainer in his work, opting instead
to place the burden of understanding on the audience and its own labor. In
this way, he has carved a place for himself outside both the typical
expectations of documentary and the conventions of representational fiction,
attempting to work from the materials of the worlds he encounters to create
something else." —Ed Halter, Artforum

Erie consists of a series of single take shots in and around communities
near Lake Erie. The scenes relate to a Black migration in the USA,
contemporary conditions, folks concentrating on the task at hand, theater
and famous art objects.  The subject matter is the gestures or tasks caused
by certain conditions in the lives of working class African Americans and
other people of African descent. The conditions are usually physical,
social-economic circumstances or weather. Instead of standard realism I
favor a strategy that abstracts everyday actions and statements into
theatrical gestures, in which archival footage is re-edited or re-staged,
real people perform fictional scenarios based on their own lives and
historical observations intermesh with contemporary narratives. The films
suggest the relentlessness of everyday life—along with its beauty—but also
present oblique metaphors for art-making. —Kevin Jerome Everson

Jury selected shorts

Bethlehem (2009, 8 min)
Dir. Peggy Ahwesh
Working through my archive of accumulated video footage, I pretended it was
found footage from anonymous sources. What began as a tribute to Bruce
Conner of the period of Valse Triste and Take the 5:10 to Dreamland, with
their deliberate pace and bittersweet memory of home, ended as a dedication
to my father as I wound my way through miscellany with distance and another
aim. —Peggy Ahwesh

Prim Limit (2009, 32 min)
Dir. eteam
If second lives have grown into the landscape of social network space and
avatars engage a full range of human emotions and experience, it follows
that they would eventually encounter existential questions. Eteam's Prim
Limit traces this fascinating unexpected trajectory. A plot of land is
purchased in the online 3-D Second Life network and a simple question is
asked: Where do discarded 3D objects go and can we build a dumpster to
accommodate them? To find out eteam set aside a year to let this virtual
land use problem unfold and what is captured in Prim Limit is the lived
experience of avatars managing and recording this dumpster. This is a very
contemporary Existentialist tale that is more about Wasteland than Waste,
and all the very human emotions this terminal condition evokes. —Will
Pappenheimer

It's Cool, I'm Good (2010, 35 min)
Dir. Stanya Kahn
In It's Cool, I'm Good, Kahn resumes her familiar place in front of the
camera, this time bandaged and injured, a protagonist who is at once
selfless and narcissistic, verbose and elusive, vulnerable and manipulative.
Paralleling the way in which jokes compress and expand meaning, Kahn
organizes the narratives along the lines of a psycho-emotional unpacking,
creating small arcs in place of grand ones.

Caroline Golum As (2010, 9 min)
Dir. Andrew Lampert
Caroline Golum auditions to play the filmmaker’s great great great great
great aunt in late 1700s Siberia.

54 Days This Winter 36 Days This Spring For 18 Minutes (2009, 16 min)
Dir. Dani Leventhal
Dani gathered material for 9 minutes each day, then condensed it down to
this 16 minute video montage of impressions which has a cumulative effect,
accessed and read differently depending on the mental connections the viewer
makes. It is presented as short scenes: documentation of the quotidian,
on-camera monologues, and performative or expressive shots that are
constructed. The material, while mostly generated as a diary, is
heterogeneous enough to include just about any kind of footage. —Video Data
