Film ist 9: Conquest
Austria 18:00 35mm | finalist
Dir: Gustav Deutsch
Here cinema fulfills its manifest destiny through documentation of plunder and as a plundering mode of documentation. Drawing little distinction between violence real and staged, Gustav Deutch dramatizes the colonizing fictions and stolen realities of history, epic and ethnography to chart the beginnings of the great, ongoing land grab for psychic and social space. - S.P.
Elian
U.S.A. 15:00 video
DIR David Reed
Florida is the weirdest state in the union. It’s true. David Reed gets his hands dirty in the radioactive media noise surrounding the Elian Gonzalez custody case and somehow, while measuring its shelf-life, wanders into another sunshine failure – an aborted space shuttle launch. – S.A.
Ken Burns Give you Something
U.S.A. 3:30 video
DIR Kent Lambert
Redeems (?) the whitest man in America, Ken Burns, by making him scat, riff and syncopate more than all the hours of his multi-PBS JAZZ series ever attempted. The void of the PBS drone is regenerated in a cut and slice Shiva dance of creation. – K.H.
An Injury to One
U.S.A. 53:00 16mm | finalist
Dir: Travis Wilkerson
Radiating from an examination of the 1917 murder of labor agitator Frank Little, An Injury to One tells of the larger calamity known as Butte Montana and its place in American culture, economy and environment. Armed with tremendous storytelling skill, this uncompromising, unapologetically leftist work of peoples' history draws together landscape, song and acute connections among the facts and footnotes of the official (or company) line, to arrive at a poetic, stirring tour de force of history as agitation. - S.P.
