With new videos by Brigitta Bödenauer and by Brandon Morse, LIFEM’s video section is now complete. And it looks just out of this world!!! And they will be shown for free!!!

Born in 1972, Brigitta Bödenauer studied theatre and currently teaches video editing at a private multimedia school in Vienna. In her work as a filmmaker, Brigitta aims to generate emotive sequences by reassembling stills into animated trajectories. Brigitta is an artist, a media critic, a photographer, a DJ and a VJ.

Brandon Morse was born in Arlington, TX in 1974 and grew up in Eau Claire, WI. He received his BFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, and his MFA in Art and Technology from The Ohio State University, Columbus. Morse has exhibited both nationally and internationally at film and animation festivals, galleries, and on the internet. He has taught Digital Media at the Department of Art at the University of Maryland, College Park since 2000.
Professor Morse states that “”the conceptual focus of my work is instead the development and portrayal of situations of a specifically vague nature… They are the examination of interaction; stripped from context, plot, and history… an exploration of this process playing itself out on a level that can be nothing but instinctual.” With the evidence provided by Morse in his work, one is able to see his works as an “examination of interaction; stripped from context, plot, and history which parallels human interaction: as a series of instinctual actions, isolated from memory and reason.”
Here’s the now complete LIFEM video programme (these screenings are free events, so no excuses for not being part of the festival… let’s enjoy it!):
