Eric Cloutier Movies

A 'reversal' of Jean-Léon Gérôme's 1872 painting Pollice Verso.

On the Clickity-clack Express it's clear I'm always under duress, unless I forget.

Locked away but not away; somewhere nearby but unreachable, a periphery so notfaroff it's always in sight.

Trite, closed memories flagrantly bleed into profuse openings mixed & held together by retaliatory colorations & obfuscations.

Platitudes begin at peaks then rapidly descend and dismantle in order to ascend more acutely until they repeatedly and successively overwhelm.

5 minute experimental film.

"a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from a lack of occupation or excitement."

Slowed, stowed, achingly retold.

Beyond all human restraint lies one's lugubrious layers of paint.

Return to 'burn' only to find out you're already in that urn.

Wax and wane until there is naught but boring pain.

Lines align during acclimated apexes, shadowy vertices, and bright burrows.

Running up that [mountainous-outcropping] because there is none of this that's stopping.

Onward, upward, greener [redder] grasstures.

Strings together what's strung together (please use yr tether).

Hiding inside&out, writhing about, taken out&in.

10 minute experimental film.

4 minute experimental film.

Abandoning the Abaddon-loathed abandoner opens plenty of reclaimed... everything(s).

7 minute experimental film.
