NEW YORK STORY Nicolas Jenkins Documentary Video 7:00 Chicago Premiere
We will need to give up any ideas ov thee body being sacrosanct if we wish to explore space. Genetic mutation and engineering will be essential for meaningful space travel. Whilst our Pandrogeny process began as an intimate private thing, inevitably I.T. became visibly to a public because we are performers and artists as well. We feel that we are duty bound to TRY and share some ov our thoughts on why we do these procedures with you who visit, as a politeness and sign ov respect from us to you. This is not a necessity, butter an offering we make in a more intimate space where we hope friends and allies dwell. - Genesis P-Orridge (from genesisp-orridge.com, April 2005)

THE WILSON STREET CONNECTION Andrew Hicks Experimental Video 2006 4:30 World Premiere
This presentation of a moment on the corner of Wilson and Broadway, on Chicagos north side, has much to do with memory; the type of memory that comes from a single moment, maybe a few seconds, but last with us for much longer as in an expansion of that point in time. Standing there, things flatten out and lose meaning, becoming one big artwork of form, color, and sound; the moment is transformed.
HASHA ROYKO Miranda July Experimental Video 4:00 2003
Combines a sense of cheerful expediency (simply outlining what's already there) with a sort of daffy mysticism (pointing out what clearly isn't there) to create a system we can hardly decipher but instructively understand. - Emily Hall, Artforum

ALLA TE ALCANZO (ILL SEE YOU THERE) Luis Sanchez Ramirez Short Video 6:00 2007
An economic and linear narrative that tells the story of a group of people journeying across the border. As the characters travel, a series of chaotic events force them to question their sense of truth and reality, plunging each into a sort of subconscious reality. These events are contrasted with seductive desert landscapes, and a hypnotic soundtrack creating a meditation on segregation and oppression.
THE DRIFT Kelly Sears Animation Video 8:20 2007 Chicago Premiere
A mysterious disappearance on a space journey gone awry launches the counter-cultural revolution at the end of the 1960s. Obsessively collected images found in thrift stores and flea markets are animated to create an alternate American aeronautical and cultural history. Through the gaps in these isolated moments of time, THE DRIFT collages together a history of expansion and the desire to push too far, too fast. Kelly Sears
