Raymond Red, a 23-year-old Filipino, began making films a mere five years ago. In that short period, he gained substantial recognition at numerous film festivals for his brilliantly imaginative Super-8 films. A fervent supporter, Tony Rayns, has written, "Raymond Red is one of those rare and invaluable filmmakers who can show you images you will have never seen before." An early background in painting and still photography equipped Red with an uncanny sense for composition and a painterly management of space. He achieves an astounding degree of technical sophistication, but his use of unusual narrative structures tugs equally on the viewer's attention. Tonight's screening includes four Super-8 films, along with Seeming, Red's first 16mm venture. In The Yawn, two men share a bunk bed during a sleep experiment only to find the insomniac interminably irritated by the peaceful dreamer. Set in the 50s, Kind follows a young violinist's search for a quiet room. He finds one but it already has an occupant with an incessant, ominous cough. A sci-fi fable, Enemy takes place atop a mountain where young men are trained to become Guardians of the Stars of the Eastern Skies. Seeming is a lyrical tale of a young violinist who tries to reach out of his private world through his music. Rejected by his father, he turns his back on the city for the calmness of a dense forest. A triptych, Sketches looks at balots, a Filipino street delicacy, the jeepney, a unique mode of transportation found throughout the Philippines, and one man's extraordinary encounter with a piece of paper.
