THE DVD: [approx. running time 90 min]
Crafted from thousands of photographs manipulated into and out of pixels. Hand-drawn, self-tattered, layered in light, space and time. A patchwork mystery of everyday life in the shadows of capitalism, communalism and the freedom of observation. Executed with a tailor-made computer animation system. Includes a collection of shorts, alternate soundtracks, subtitles, an interview and making of. Filmed in New York, Long Island, Berlin, London, San Francisco and elsewhere, it is a travel diary at once familiar and strange but overall it is a tribute to connections, both human and inanimate.
THE CD: [19 tracks, approx. running time 54 min]
The soundtrack to an invisible movie. Each song a scene, woven together by transitional scores which unveil the protagonist's story. Tales of friendship, longing, wandering through anonymous city streets. Lopsided pop, sparse and torch lit. The sound of disastrous freedom. Loping electrical r+b, AGF.3's third album finds her dropping neu beat poetry over cookie crumb beats and snaking across sly bass and piano. Tales of friendship, longing, and wandering through anonymous city streets permeate the airwaves. 19 tracks of lopsided pop and soundtrack interludes, sparse and torch lit, Mini Movies is the complete sound of disastrous freedom.
