Archivist, filmmaker–and former Canyon employee–Mark Toscano has placed two short works, Demonstration and Process of Elimination, into distribution.

Demonstration (2012 | 2.5 minutes | COLOR | SOUND)

It may be that exhibitionistic displays of emotion are purely for the benefit of the demonstrator, in an act of self-indulgent catharsis, but that doesn’t mean they can’t communicate some of that weird emotion to an unrelated party.

Process of Elimination (2012 | 3.5 minutes | B&W | SOUND)

A rite of passage, an emptying out of things, and a process of emotional alchemy.

Projection note: Please project and focus on countdown. The film is over when the final long clear section cuts to black.
