Stream Vod | COMPILATION Hungry Eyes & Ears, HD 20 min. by Ebba Jahn

Stream: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/compilationhungryeyes

Eine Ermunterung vom Festival Hungry Eyes in Gießen eine bis zu 20 minütige Versuchsanordnung einzureichen, resultierte in dieser Auswahl aus meinen ca. 15 neuen sehr kurzen Filmen von 2019/2020 - drum nenne ich sie mit Dank für die Inspiration:

Compilation Hungry Eyes & Ears von Ebba Jahn | HD, 20', 2020

Alle diese Filme liefen einzeln auf verschiedenen Filmfestivals.
Zeitlich ergibt sich für Hungry Eyes die Möglichkeit für fünf Video Collagen, die in diesem Jahr zwar nicht chronologisch aber in der letztendlich belassenen Zeitfolge entstanden sind, den Zeitgeist mit Stimmungswechsel einschliessend.

Länge / Titel

3:37 Bridging It

6:19 Fog Horns
3:47 Selfie With Tuba
3:17 Whistler's Waltz
2:20 Balm

Gemeinsam ist der Auswahl eine unterschiedliche Rolle von Wasser: Anfangs wird es überbrückt, dann von einer Webcam im Nebel beobachtet, ein Musiker kann es wegen Lockdown-Konzertabsagen nicht mehr mit der Fähre überqueren, ein Kunstpfeifer verabschiedet sich im vergangenen Jahrhundert vor seiner wochenlangen Schiffsreise über die Meere nach Australien, und zum Schluß legt sich eine nie zuvor gesehene Wolkendecken-Wanderung über einen Ort - Balsam.
Der Einsatz origineller Musiken von insbesondere Posaunist und Komponist Paul Hubweber bildet einen weiteren verbindenden Aspekt. Tubaspieler Pinguin Moschner und ein in Vergessenheit geratener Kunstpfeifer sind weitere ganz besondere virtuose Musiker-Originale und passen auch deshalb gut in diese Kompilation.
Die Verwendung von gesuchten/gefundenen Bildmaterialien mit creative commons licence, also mit ausdrücklicher Nutzungserlaubnis, ermöglichen es mir, wieder Videos frei entstehen zu lassen.

Video FOG HORNS by Ebba Jahn | SIRENAS DE NEBLINAS | NEBELHÖRNER Festival updates 2021

24.-25.October 2021

SeeMôr Film Festival,
C/O Ucheldre Centre, Millbank
Holyhead, Anglesey LL65 1TE

We see a webcam surveillance video of a harbour entrance on a foggy day in Cuxhaven, Germany. A sound of a fog horn extends into film music, a contemporary composition for his trombone by Paul Hubweber.

Ships come in slowly and the first stanza of the poem "Fog Horns" by poet David Mason from Colorado appears slowly and in writing first.These three elements - webcam image, poem, trombone music - appear in the video as if they were always meant for each other...

Fog Horns by Arthur Dove, 1929

16.4.20 - Poet David Mason has just retired fom work as professor at the English Department Colorado College in Colorado Springs USA:

I asked him what I could say during the Cadence Festival Zoom Hang event on 4/18?

"You can say I'm proud to have my poem featured in your film. I wrote the thing some years ago, while looking at a painting called Fog Horns by Arthur Dove.

Somehow I fell into five-syllable lines with some rhymes.
I enjoyed the way the form encouraged me to break out of simple logic into mood.

I'm in Tasmania, now - my home for rest of life..."

Fog Horns by Arthur Dove, 1929

The painting also visualizes the first three fog horn sounds of the video. Paul Hubweber heard it and while seeing the still silent rest of the film, he chose from his archive his composition Trombone Parts from Ab und Auf for the video.

Looking forward to the European Festival Premiere at:


28.8. - 6.9.20 www.fifnl.com Labo section program I

15.8.20: FOG HORNS was selected by Videobardo - the Videopoetry Festival in Buenos Aires.
I'm delighted that we'll be able to create a Spanish video version.
The great poet RHINA P. ESPAILLAT has translated the poem for this video.

Better Left Unsaid
Not silent, these video poems emphasize language as an auditory experience, a graphic experience, and a cultural experience. A dying language left untranslated, constraints leaving language limited, and limited language leaving emotional threads through found and filmed footage—this screening leaves room for inference and poetic impressions.

Selfie with Tuba - Pinguin Moschner | Video Collage by Ebba Jahn

After all his gigs were cancelled due to lockdowns, German tuba player Pinguin Moschner worked on a tune for a tuba-solo and recorded "tilbake" (engl. return). Performed with touching virtuosity it inspired me to make a video collage with it, so we collaborated online between Opladen and Berlin, Germany starting end of April 2020.
