“IF Da VINCI MADE A FILM, THIS WOULDN’T BE IT.” Combining the cheesiest parts of 9 epic “Sword and Sandal” movies (including “Hercules”, “Hercules Unchained, and “Last Days of Pompeii”), Hercules Recycled 2.0 is an insane, redubbed hybrid comedy/adventure set in a future where the power’s run out and the world has collapsed into primal chaos. Throw in two geeky teenagers in togas, a multi-eyed monster, a space puppet, the kitchen sink (literally), and over 150 CGI effects and you’ve got a movie that took over 40 years to make after only 30 seconds of rational thought.

Experimental, Short,

Director:

Kostiantyn Mishchenko

Video art is an art form which relies on using video technology as a visual and audio medium. Video art emerged during the late 1960s as new consumer video technology such as video tape recorders became available outside corporate broadcasting. Video art can take many forms: recordings that are broadcast; installations viewed in galleries or museums; works streamed online, distributed as video tapes, or DVDs; and performances which may incorporate one or more television sets, video monitors, and projections, displaying live or recorded images and sounds. One of the key differences between video art and theatrical cinema is that video art does not necessarily rely on many of the conventions that define theatrical cinema. Video art may not employ the use of actors, may contain no dialogue, may have no discernible narrative or plot, and may not adhere to any of the other conventions that generally define motion pictures as entertainment.
