Girl Walk // All Day is a feature-length music video that pairs the city of New York and three incredible young dancers with the Girl Talk album All Day. The result is a whirlwind of sound and movement, and a pace that’s matched only by New York itself.

Canyon Candy is a psychedelic Western unlike any other. A film companion to the latest record by experimental musicians Javelin, it was shot entirely using old studio methods like rear projection, handmade dioramas, and soundstages.

A Ray Array is an experimental short film composed of 15 distinct chapters, each exploring a different form of visual and aural interference. The original score was created by Luke Fischbeck and Sarah Rara, members of the band Lucky Dragons.

Minecraft is as much a cultural phenomenon as it is a deeply meditative video game. The Story of Mojang investigates not only the game’s overwhelming popularity, but the motifs shared between the game’s infinite sprawl and the Swedish tundra, its creator's birthplace.

This dreamy hand-drawn feature animation by graphic novelist Dash Shaw is a Michel Gondry meets Philip K. Dick tale of one mad scientist's loss of family and self. Produced by John Cameron Mitchell, The Ruined Cast makes beautiful use of Shaw’s cosmically attuned hand and heart.

Comedians Gabriel Diani and Etta Devine are creating a tongue-in-cheek edition of Mark Twain’s Huck Finn, wherein every use of the “N-word” will be replaced with the word “Robot.” Their mock-serious, hyper-funny project video elevates farce to an art form.

Shot entirely on 16mm with a Bolex camera rescued from a dumpster, The Beast Pageant tells the highly unusual story of a man and his tiny singing cowboy.

Jamey Erickson attached a camera to a weather balloon and sent it into space. What he got back was a breath- taking glimpse of our Earth’s surface and skies.

Freaker USA is a North Carolina-based company producing knitted cozies for beverages, but their side- splitting project video will convince you they should be in television. Are those new shoes?

Furever is a feature-length documentary film about post-mortal pet preservation. Seemingly bizarre, the practice, when more deeply probed, raises compelling and thought-provoking points about attachment, family, religion, ritual, grief and death.

Filmmaker Jocelyn Towne set a new precedent in project videos with her beautifully shot, all-one-take pitch video. Like a good fortune cookie, it all ends “in bed.”

Alan Watts was a prominent 60s British philosopher, and his deeply moving lectures on Buddhism and Western thought can still occasionally be heard on late-night college radio. In the Way with Alan Watts brings those words to life with animations both whimsical and experimental.

Motionpoems are experimental animations created to accompany spoken poems. Each collaboration is unique, a fascinating hybrid of language and film. “Render Render” was written by Thomas Lux.

Like a Wire season that never was, The Twelve O’Clock Boyz chases the outlaw dirt bike culture of urban Baltimore. Although the sport is illegal, the long arm of the law hasn’t been able to stem its growing popularity.
