Hello makers and fans of experimental film.First of all, we would like to apologize for not being super active mods here. We all have busy lives like every other humans, but we will try our best to make this sub to be a great place for sharing and discussing about experimental films.

We are now implementing a rule: You can post link to your own work only once a week. Some of you may be prolific and want to use this sub to promote your work, but we would like to avoid flood of posts and spam like behaviors. So please be selective when you share your work.

Also we are going to do some clean up. Any posts from the past that does not have more than one upvote will be deleted. We have not done this at all in the past and we are not planning to do this again in the future.

Finally, I want to remind everyone to include, TITLE of the film, YEAR it was made, and NAME of the artist in the title of your post. Also please use common reddit etiquette and if criticism is asked, be constructive.

We are trying to attract more people to this sub, so please let others who might enjoy this sub know about us.

Thanks!

16mm

I have made quite a few short experimental films (festivals, etc) but am becoming very frustrated with the digital look/aesthetic. I know you can sorta fake it with filters in post, but anyone with experience of 16mm (I am a photographer by training, so I understand the fundamentals) would love some tips on what not to do when experimenting and getting started with 16mm :-)

Hey everyone. This is my post here since discovering this community. I am creating a series of videos with software called Videosync in Ableton. This makes the visuals react in real time to the music I’m producing. It also allows me to “perform” the video like an instrument. Look up Videosync and Ableton if you’re interested in learning more. I’m also happy to answer any particular questions you might have. NO AI! All video elements for this one culled from public domain sources.

Phantasmagoria- a short film

This is my first ever short film, it was heavily inspired by the director David Lynch and captures a dream like sequence, i was aiming for it to be very surreal but I was limited to what I have as it was a £0 budget.

I spent four years building digital humans because I couldn't find believable naked bodies.

1 Upvotes

I'm an independent filmmaker from Belgium.

While making my previous short film EXIT, I became obsessed with one question:

Why do digital bodies almost always look idealized?

I ended up scanning around 30 friends, building my own workflow in Unreal, and experimenting with motion capture to create bodies that felt fragile instead of perfect.

That research unexpectedly led to a new film.

Instead of asking "How do we show intimacy?", I started asking:

What does an orgasm feel like from the inside?

Not the act itself.

The invisible physical experience.

I'm curious whether anyone here has seen artists exploring similar territory.
