Beirut Outtakes DIR PEGGY AHWESH EXPERIMENTAL 16MM ON VIDEO 7:00 MIN "Sometime in the late 1980's, Mr. Salloum found a cache of deteriorating commercial film reels, trailers and commercials in an abandoned theater in Beirut. Many years later, inspired by the material as a historical marker of popular media culture during the era of the civil war and a document of western orientalism, Ms. Ahwesh edited some of the fragments together. Beirut Outtakes is a small tribute to endurance, the export of American product and the history of decay." - P.A.
Call and Response DIR AARON VALDEZ EXPERIMENTAL VIDEO 3:24 MIN "Defining the fine line between catchy commercial jingles and mental paralysis." - A.V.
Armored Cars: Protect Yourself from Ballistic Attacks DIR ANGIE WALLER EXPERIMENTAL VIDEO 8:26 MIN "An amateur, action-packed, corporate video thriller composed from armored car manufacturers' online marketing materials. The video is punctuated by humorous vignettes of evasive industry reps obsessed with corporate secrecy. This stands in stark contrast to the copious web video clips showcasing vehicular violence." - A.W.
CALIFORNIA/blue DIR ABBEY WILLIAMS EXPERIMENTAL VIDEO 7:27 MIN The filmmaker takes to IKEA to offer her soulful song: Oh it gets so lonely, When you're walking, And the streets are full of strangers, All the news of home you read, Just give you the blues...
Internet Alphabet DIR JOE NANASHE EXPERIMENTAL VIDEO 6:32 MIN "A systematic guide to the categorical breakdown of Internet pornography. Internet Alphabet presents simply the language of exploitation, titillation, and the unusual. Poetry in perversion." - J.N.
Lovely Andrea DIR HITO STEYERL EXPERIMENTAL VIDEO 30:00 MIN In the 1980s while attending film school in Toyko, German-Japanese filmmaker Hito Steyerl posed as a rope-bondage model. Twenty years later, she returns to search for her photograph, inquiring among current and former bondage experts. Eventually, she locates the image (posed as a demure young girl named Andrea) haphazardly kept in a bondage-magazine archive. Lovely Andrea is a web of topicsSteyerl playfully addresses issues of post-colonial feminism, terrorism, memory and censorship at a spanking pace, all to the tunes of 1980s and 90's post-punk.
"By associatively linking desire and bondage, voluntary subjection and captivity, dependencies, networks, complicity, and cliques, Steyerl creates a polysemous play of thought: Who are the string pullers? Who are the puppets? How do things stand with the pictures?" Manuela Ammer
