The Passenger
Kathryn Ramey
Documentary 2006, (16:00), 16mm on Video Chicago Premiere
A personal, experimental, 16mm film that addresses the filmmakers tenuous relationship with her mentally ill mother and her own reservations about pregnancy, birth, and parenthood.The physical reworking of the films surface serves as a signifying device for the process of building a life, becoming a mother, and repairing that which is broken between mother and child. The fracture between experience of a mothers illness and memories of joys with her were literally sutured in the editing.
At the funeral I was the only one of her children to speak. I said she had perfect penmanship and that she loved to dance and sing. The later were her gifts to me. Kathryn Ramey
PLEDGE
Ann Steuernagel
Experimental Video 6:00 2006 Chicago Premiere
Using a mounting crescendo of both cello music and images of masculinity, PLEDGE becomes a meditation of violence and innocence, symbolism and the everyday. The material is sadly timeless and provides one with an abstract medium to ruminate about war and, hopefully, peace. - Black Maria Film Festival & Ann Steuernagel

VALERYS ANKLE
Brett Kashmere
Experimental Video 33:00 2006 Chicago Premiere
Taking Bobby Clarke's premeditated slash of rival Russian hockey star Valery Kharlamov's ankle during the 1972 Summit Series as its point of departure and site of research, the film proposes a way of viewing this action through the filter of Canada's political and cultural histories, the particular circumstances of the Summit Series and its semiotic function in the imagination and collection memory of Canadians.
