  • Bring Me the Head of Henri Chrétien!

    There’s no sentiment as bold as the one in a duel shot in cinemascope, no emotional drop as high as the one in a vertical movie.

  • TWIXT

    Roisz & Kovačič delve live into their AV archives. The collision between concrete and abstract images leads to a synaesthetic media meltdown.

    • Bright Future Short

  • Toutes directions

    The ultimate road movie is a hypnotising audiovisual trip by Billy Roisz and Dieter Kovacic, scored by Radian.

    • Bright Future Short

  • Close Your Eyes

    The abstract Close Your Eyes was inspired by the mescaline experiments of Henri Michaux and explores the boundary between perception and imagination.
