GOODBYE, MAMA
IVAN & IGOR BUHAROV | 1996 | 05:32 | HUNGARY | SUPEr 8
Ivan Buharov began his filmmaking career in the mid-1990s through his ongoing collaboration with his brother Kornél Szilágyi under the shared pseudonym Igor and Ivan Buharov, a partnership that commenced in 1995 and focused on experimental works shot primarily on Super-8 film.
These early short films are characterized by their poetic and uncanny imagery, low-budget production, and a surreal approach that transforms everyday scenes into dreamlike or absurd sequences. The duo's initial output consists of brief experimental pieces, which explore fragmented narratives and visual metaphors with a distinctive handmade aesthetic. These shorts laid the foundation for their signature style, blending subtle humor, social observation, and hallucinatory elements in compact formats.

DEATH IN THE ARCHIVE
DAVID SHERMAN | 2026 | 15:00 | UNITED STATES | 16mm
Death in the Archive is an inquiry into forgotten films and artists’ lives, tracing a path from personal to institutional archives. The film unfolds as a historical montage and diaristic mapping of visionary Beat filmmakers of San Francisco’s North Beach, conjuring the celluloid bodies and creative metabolisms that persist amid the human and material mortality of artists, images, and fragile film stocks. Fragments of Dion Vigné, Jordan Belson, and Christopher MacLaine intertwine with personal histories and cinematic visions, constructing an archaeology of memory.
