CONSUMING SPIRITS (trailer) by Chris Sullivan
Coming to: Fantoche, Animaitou, Animator, Animifest, Annecy, Zagreb, Charels , Sicaff, Theater Balrimore, Cinefamily
Conell Cinema Ithaca New York
"Critic's Pick. Entirely original. . .an inquiry into the darkest zones of the human heart. . .Weaves a complicated, intoxicating spell…a wonder." - A.O. Scott, New York Times
"****[Four Stars!] A monstrous visual achievement… one of the most uniquely humanistic animated features of all time." -Joseph Jon Lanthier, Slant
"Recommended! An emotionally raw, thoroughly original film, a labor of painstaking love 15 years in the making….a haunted reverie…constructed of ugliness shot through with moments of unexpected beauty" -- Ian Buckwalter, NPR
. It took Sullivan more than a decade to make (stop motion and cutouts take time), so let it all go down like an 18-year Macallan. It’s like: Todd Solonz went to town with scissors!

DESCRIPTION:
Consuming Spirits is a hand-made independent feature animation shot frame-by-frame on 16mm using paper cut outs, models, and tracing paper cell animation.
It chronicles the lives of three characters who live in a rust belt town called Magguson, and work at its local newspaper The Daily Suggester. They are: Gentian Violet 42: Victor Blue 38: and Earl gray 64, who first appear to be acquaintances. But as the film unfolds, we find they have a long diabolical history, revolving around social service intervention, foster care, romance and hatred. Each character has family secrets to hide, and family secrets to discover. An auto accident one dark and inebriated night causes a crack in the memory vault of these intimate strangers. By films end all parties walk from the woods, both healed and wounded.
Written/Directed/Edited by Chris Sullivan, 16mm to HD, 131 minutes.

OPEN FIVE (full film)
Thanks for watching! If you enjoy the film, please consider leaving a small tip by clicking the green button below.
A blend of reality and fiction, "Open Five" follows the story of Jake, a struggling musician and his sidekick, Kentucker, a maker of "poor" films and what happens when two girls (Lucy and Rose) venture down to Memphis for a long weekend.
Praise for the film:
"One of Top 25 Films of 2010"
Richard Brody, The New Yorker
"One of 10 Best Undistributed Films"
Karina Longworth, LA Weekly
"Essential Viewing"
Unexamined / Essentials
"Best Films Honorable Mention"
Hammer to Nail
“The best American film of the year!”
- Craig Keller, CINEMASPARAGUS
“The most interesting thing about OPEN FIVE is how the film consciously punctuates its ‘not a movie’ moments with scenes that are perfect little instances of movie magic. There are compositions here that soak in the deep Southern landscape with the same affection that Renoir had for the 19th-century slackers and shady grove in his LE DEJEUNER SUR L’HERBE.”
- Steve Dollar, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
“Audley’s movie has the feeling of sketches from life — a wealth of emotion and experience emerge both from its brisk lines and from its white spaces.”
- Richard Brody, THE NEW YORKER
“Open Five” may be notable mainly for shifting the landscape of aimless, youthful contemplation from the city to the countryside, but its record of the ambivalent desires and drifting ambitions of a group of friends is artful enough to be touching as well as vague.
- A.O. Scott, THE NEW YORK TIMES
“More focused than many of its brethren, [OPEN FIVE] reps another worthy theatrical preem for Gotham’s reRun Gastropub Theater, fast becoming the NXNW launchpad for minimalist SXSW-type fare… Thesping is faultless…”
- Ronnie Scheib, VARIETY
“Exquisitely crafted! OPEN FIVE has the epic intimacy of weekend nights that seem to stretch beyond the actual brevity of time. Its strong core cast hits all the right notes at all the right times.”
- Cullen Gallagher, HAMMER TO NAIL
"A strong, powerful, mysterious work."
Ray Carney, Author of 'Cassevetes on Cassevetes'

Gaza Strip
In early 2001 I spent three months in Gaza filming material for this documentary, GAZA STRIP, working with local fixer and translator, Mohammed Mohanna. The second Palestinian uprising against Israeli military occupation had begun in September, 2000, and there had already been large numbers of deaths in Gaza when I started this project.
Though the period this documentary covers includes the election of Ariel Sharon as Israeli Prime Minister and large incursions by the Israeli Defense Forces into Gaza, in retrospect the time depicted here is one of relative quiet. More recent Israeli attacks against Gaza have been far more destructive and deadly than what falls into the scope of this film.
The time since the release of this film in 2002 has seen many changes, including the evacuation of illegal Israeli settlements inside the Gaza Strip and the election of Hamas. However, the occupation and attacks against Gaza continue, and the blockade of Gaza has intensified. It is my hope that this film will provide a partial introduction to Gaza for those who have come to the subject recently, and also serve as a document of its time.
I am making this film available completely free, however those who wish to contribute to my future filmmaking efforts may do so using the Tip Jar here on Vimeo, via PayPal or mail on my website:

Thanks!

What the Critics Said:
..........................
"The absence of voice-over narration and talking-head interviews gives his portrait of daily life under duress a riveting immediacy ... in the best verite tradition, there are moments in ''Gaza Strip'' that disclose a wrenching human reality deeper and more basic than any politics."
-- A. O. Scott, The New York Times
"This is simple, but strong, journalism, the kind that tells a distressing story. It is educational reportage, the kind you wish there would be more of on television."
-- Claude Salhani, United Press International
"A documentary to make the stones weep."
-- J. Hoberman, The Village Voice
"A chilling docu showing everyday life in the Gaza Strip ... a must-see for TVs interested in informing the public."
-- Deborah Young, Variety
"As a perspective that is largely excluded from American attention, it deserves the widest possible audience."
-- Jane Adas, The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs
"Longley constructs, through the eloquent editing of sound and vision, a riveting particularity so vivid that it transcends its physical borders to illuminate "everyday" life in divided cities, territories, and countries across the globe. "
-- Lesley Smith, Pop Matters
"... offering sequences that could rival Bunuel or Fellini ... one of the most important documentaries of recent times."
-- Phil Hall, Film Threat (www.filmthreat.com)
"Taking a step away from the back and forth over who has a right to be where that is at the heart of the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict, this important documentary from American filmmaker James Longley looks closely at the toll it has taken on people who are among those most affected by the violence: Palestinian children."
-- Ken Fox, TV Guide : MovieGuide (www.tvguide.com)
"In Gaza Strip the camera never blinks ... at once grim, eloquent and searing, a film with a riveting particularity all its own."
-- Fawaz Turki, Arab News (www.arabnews.com)
"This documentary is vastly revealing ... and it's bigger than a summer blockbuster, more important than all our movie stars or the academy awards ..."
-- StaticMultimedia.com
"Longley has presented convincing evidence that the Israeli occupation has created criminal and dehumanizing conditions for the people of the Gaza Strip. One would hope that this documentary would be broadcast on American television to reach the largest possible audience."
-- Pamela Nice, AlJadid -- vol. 8, No. 39, Spring 2002
"Beautiful, heartbreaking, raw and revealing ..."
-- Stephanie Saldana, The Daily Star
