Things aren’t always as they seem in this batch of filmed experiments and video essays. Nicolas Provost subverts narrative conventions in the third and final part of his Plot Point trilogy,

Tokyo Giants

. Presenting the man in the street as a protagonist in the film, Provost hides cameras in the hyperkinetic streets of Tokyo in search for the mystery of reality. Thomas Renoldner’s

Sunny Afternoon

is a confrontation between a music video and an avantgarde film, posing questions about the conventions, taboos and clichés of different film genres. And Patrick Cederberg & Walter Woodman’s

Noah

is a tale of deceit and jealousy played out through the interface of a Facebook profile.
