*"Krumbach's Error" (color, 19mins) It's 1977 and time is no longer linear.

"Wishing Well" (color, 5 mins) is a marriage of technique and personal revery. It's a jewel of a film that photographically reimagines a family's memories. Using his grandfather's home movies (and equipment,) Bryan turns these memories into a dreamy, archetypal experience. |
| "V" (black and white, 5 mins) is a minimalist experimental film made without the benefit of a camera. Bryan takes a very simple technique -- scratching into the sound and picture tracks of black film -- and creates an invigorating film that's rhythmic, beautiful and subtly political. |

"Sphincter of the Soul" a.k.a "S.O.S." (color, 17mins) is Will Dailyrest's hallucinatory odyssey into the mind of a troubled art student. In 1986, few got it, some thought it was brilliant, others walked out. We think it's about time to dust it off and see what hindsight will do for it. |
| "Dailyrest's Destiny" (color, 20 mins) A fine surrealist-subway film. An ambitious filmmaker loses his soul on a train-ride to an important interview. Shot guerilla-style in Philadelphia, this film is a hypnotic stream-of-consciousness ride though the guilty conscience of a young artist. |
