Perpetual Spawning

An anthology film shaped by six people who share their desires and imagination. Each part works towards a whole which is concerned with perception and being perceived.

Endless Sea is a textural, oneiric exploration of the inability to escape captured within the confines of Grand Theft Auto: Andreas.

The reception ebbs and flows as the unfamiliar landscape whirls by the window of a plane or train or car. Communication is delayed, fragmented, interrupted. Memories of a distant country.

ingerence: Unwanted involvement, interruption, or meddling in the internal affairs of another person, entity, or sovereign nation.

Infinite Skies, a machinima created by Bram Ruiter and Martin Gerrits during their film school years, explores themes of grief and purgatory. This video work marks an early milestone in Ruiter's journey into digital storytelling, setting its narrative against the expansive, generative landscapes of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and drawing inspiration from Philip Solomon’s game video art.

Two halves split by the perseverance of a scorpion. Come on, feet.

Observing light in the month of december.

Sunlight particles reflect in a shallow pool which functions as a natural irrigation system. An old camera, possibly from 2003, captures them.

A romantic film in which water serves as a guiding force for a journey with an unclear destination.

rare vines is a diaristic exploration and an euology shaped like a Vine Compilation: six seconds per video in a gapless stream of images and using the qualifier 'rare' in its title.

A young couple has drifted apart, when all of a sudden a mysterious figure appears in their backyard.

Grounds, Premises takes the opening scene of Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space to consider intention and failure. What emerges is a treatise on the creative process with the emphasis on process rather than result. This film was made while teaching a film production course at a castle in the South of the Netherlands, and is dedicated to our fleeting time together.

Reveling in the Autumn foliage, grazing through frosted fields, staring at an abandoned car. As fall slips into winter, the world burns and hell freezes over. Yet one must persist, in spite of hell. Shot on Ektachrome.

A lone figure wanders through an alien landscape. The sound and image are blown-out, creating a textural grain inherent to MiniDV which mimics the sand blowing in the wind.

A pictorial sense of space presented through frames; an illusion between two-dimensionality and three-dimensionality; a play of the seen and not seen; a curiosity to the ‘left out’. Is All Around is an abstract impression of Zoey Benschop’s artistic process while making her 2022 work ‘Raamwerk’.

On his boat, we go as slowly as possible while enjoying the movements around us. The sun in the rippled water, the dogs checking us out with jealousy. This largely unedited roll was filmed on one of the first sunny days of the year.
