Ocean Movements Over Barred Island
, Maine
; 2010; digital video; 12:00
Three video screens produce a triptych of Barred Island, Maine. At low tide, a land bridge connects the island to the mother island, Deer Isle. At high tide, the ocean overtakes the land bridge and the islands are separated. Though the ocean may conceal the connection between these two bodies, their inextricable link remains.  

A Highway Called 301; 2010; digital video; 54:00
U.S. Route 301, designated in 1932 as a spur of U.S. Route 1, runs from Sarasota, Florida northward through the Atlantic states and ends just beyond the Delaware Bridge.  Presently, one-thousand and ninety-nine miles of highway connect small towns, bisect otherwise rural landscapes, and provide a vital corridor for commerce and travel. 
A multitude of abandoned structures pepper the landscape and provide evidence of a cultural apparatus that extends both spatially (alongside the highway) and temporally (into past-present-future).  What can the fragmentary evidence of remaining structures, or archi-textures, tell us about the past-present-future cultures who occupy these spaces?  This audio-visual study seeks to answer this question, less in the form of visual-anthropology (ethnographic documentary) and more in the uncharted territory of visual-archaeology (science-non-fiction).

               

Ghost; 2010; 16mm; 3:00
If a ghost is an anomaly of light that takes on human form and the cinema is a machine capable of arranging light in highly organized patterns, then it seems apparitions appear so often in the space where celluloid and light collide that we take these images for granted. When these patterns of light take on human form a man is no longer made of flesh and blood but of machine and light.

Young Machine; 2010; 16mm; 3 min
In the scope of human history, the cinema is a young machine. According to Hollis Frampton, it is also the last machine. It is the first machine capable of reanimating the dead. At 21 frames per second, it begins to breathe life into otherwise lifeless cells—the inner-workings of the machine imperceptible to the human eye. At 24 frames, “it’s alive!”

Immokalee U.S.A.
;
2008; digital video 77:00

Utilizing largely ethnographic and observational approaches to documentary filmmaking, Immokalee U.S.A. chronicles the daily experiences of migrant farmworkers living and working in the U.S.A.  “In an aesthetically pure documentary in the vérité tradition, Koszulinski allows the audience a more immersive, emotional experience than most documentaries on the subject…  What is our collective role in this chain of servitude?, the film seems to ask us, providing an opening for self-reflection rather than didactic sermonizing.” (program notes, Maine International Film Festival) 

America in Pictures; 2007; 16mm to video; 8:00

Cracker Crazy: Invisible Histories of the Sunshine State; 2007; digital video; 92:00

Using archival materials and original Super 8 cinematography, Cracker examines Florida History from a decidedly different point of view.  Koszulinski did his homework - he plundered state archives for vintage images and footage to mix with his own original footage... which traces the Sunshine State's history from the earliest inhabitants to the present day." (The Tallahassee Democrat, April 20, 2000)


Silent Voyeur;
