Movies by Ingrid Veninger
Hotel Vladivostok
In a hotel overlooking the Sea of Japan, six disparate stories inter-connect giving time a shape, like a series of liquid transparencies, one laid on top of another. Murder, sacrifice, betrayal, longing and regret weave into a tapestry of souls remembering and forgetting.
The Taking of Pelham One Two Three
In New York, armed men hijack a subway car and demand a ransom for the passengers. Even if it's paid, how could they get away?
On Their Knees
Willie and Mo are half sisters who have never seen eye to eye. A cross-country road trip in an ice cream truck carrying their dead grandmother may not change that, but it will give them the opportunity to laugh and learn.
The Gate
Three young children accidentally release a horde of nasty, pint-sized demons from a hole in a suburban backyard. What follows is a classic battle between good and evil as the three kids struggle to overcome a nightmarish hell that is literally taking over the Earth.
Solace in the Dark
A retrospective documentary on 9/11 in connection with the 2001 Toronto International Film Festival.
The Limb Salesman
Gabriel Goode is the Limb Salesman, a disgraced doctor who regenerates limbs on the black market. When Goode travels to the water mining regions of the north to heal the cherished daughter of a wealthy water miner, dark family secrets are revealed, and Goode is forced to make the ultimate sacrifice. A story of forbidden love in a dystopian future.
He Hated Pigeons
A young man travels from the Northern Atacama Desert to the southern Patagonian edge of Chile on a cathartic journey of the spirit and to fulfill the wish of his mysteriously deceased lover.
The War Boy
The 12-year-old son of a freedom fighter grows up fast in World War II Yugoslavia.
Urda/Bone
Against the backdrop of a European cityscape, worlds intersect when a woman and a man on separate travels meet, or rather, collide on the screen. Their affects mingle, creating a zone between their bodies in which something happens: intoxication, stillness, desire and love. Something that is neither one nor the other's, but a third creation between dreaming and being awake, where possibilities are held and lost. This is URDA / BONE.
The Other Side of Porcupine Lake
The Other Side of Porcupine Lake follows Ingrid Veninger as she makes her sixth feature film, Porcupine Lake. From writing and casting through production and post, this documentary utilizes an observational style to reveal the intimate process of making an original female-driven feature film
Hide and Seek
In this adaptation of the 1977 sci-fi novel, "The Adolescence of P-1," a high school whiz kid's computer program accidentally hooks into the mainframe computer of a nuclear power plant.
