A Dream In Red

A Dream in Red (2020) is a poetic, time traveling meditation on ecological disaster via a hand processed black and white 16mm montage of people in hiding confined in an ambiguous setting and time frame. Jolting from the temporal to the primal experience of the unknown, gradual cues subtly suggest that the setting is Pompeii during the volcanic eruption (as represented in 35mm nitrate film of Vesuvius' most recent eruption in 1944). In the aftermath, a woman without sight feels her way to an uncertain future. Non-binary composer Cee Haines' music project C H A I N E S accompanies the visual work with a dynamic, modular score using live musicians and electronics.

Documentary portrait of the Austrian farmer's son and village photographer Martin Humer, who as a "porn hunter" leads a dubious campaign against porn bars, peep shows and sex stores. His methods have made him enemies, including his worst adversary, a porn publisher. The film shows the contradictions between morality and fanaticism, as well as the Janus-faced nature of pornographic consumerism and the inhuman pleasure industry.
