Dr. Lazarus

Pilot episode of a never-produced horror short series: In 1870, a group of Argentine landowners founded the Logia del Eterno Retorno, sponsoring the research of Poison, a British veterinarian seeking immortality. However, a yellow fever epidemic interrupted his plans. Before dying, Poison managed to inject his formula into his son, who became Lazarus. This child, condemned to immortality, returned to Argentina in 1995, carrying the fever in his body, forcing him to undergo constant transplants. Now, he seeks the heirs of the lodge to recreate his ancestors' formula.

Memory Room 451

The subject matter of Memory Room 451 is the cultural and historical significance of 20th-century hairstyles – the Afro, the conk, dreadlocks – in Black communities on both sides of the Atlantic. Akomfrah has disguised this exploration as a science fiction story – in the manner of the groundbreaking writers profiled in The Last Angel of History – while providing a bravura display of the aesthetics of video art in the 1990s. The tale of visitors from the future who gather dreams from unwitting subjects in order to construct a history of the Black diaspora both defamiliarizes Akomfrah’s ongoing project and points to the danger that extracting history from memory can be a kind of expropriation.

Please Save My Earth: To Rin-kun, from Alice

The film “To Rin-kun, from Alice” is essentially a summary of the six OVAs, narrated from Alice’s point of view. We see a more mature Alice strolling through a large park filled with cherry blossoms, reflecting on events from years past. At the end of the film, it’s revealed that she had arranged to meet Rin there. Although most of the film contains scenes already seen in the OVAs, a new scene from volume 21 of the manga is added near the end, providing a more definitive conclusion to the story.

Genesis

Genesis recounts a story about embodiment "told" using voice synthesis and animation display on a MacIntosh computer. It was installed at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia in 1991. A computer is swaddled in blankets in a small baby carriage. A text appears on the screen that tells the (true) story of a woman who miscarries and keeps the fetus in her refrigerator. The narration is artificial, generated by a speech synthesis program. This voice becomes more human as the story evolves and as our understanding of the power of naming sharpens.

Legend of the Magic Arch

How far would you go to find your missing son? One widowed father finds out that answer when his son suddenly disappears while playing in the backyard. The boy's abduction is linked to the mysterious disappearances of the Anasazi Indian tribe, more than 70 years ago. Jim Cole's (Derrik Woodbury) search is aided by his former high school sweetheart Meg (Nicola McGillicuddy) and an ancient map of Indian petroglyphs. The couple are prepared for their jopurney by a Native American woman (Linda Ianella ) who knows of the Anasazi, and perhaps why Jim's son was taken. Following the map in the scenic Castle Rock area of southern Utah, they discover a sacred stone arch, recently revealed after a long drought. With time running out, Jim and Meg face a climactic showdown in the battle to rescue his young son.

Roswell

"Bill Brown's Roswell [...] takes a fanciful look at the supposed crash of a flying saucer near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. [...] Brown...seems to take the event seriously. He wonders what the craft was doing in Roswell of all places, speculating that it was piloted by a 'star boy...joyriding through the cosmos' who 'got lost and lost control.' But Brown also sees his subject playfully, as if through a child's eyes, [...] The fish-eye lens used for some landscape shots curves the horizon line, making the sky seem enclosed-- navigable, traversable. In the film's strongest image, Brown stands facing the camera with a sheaf of papers in hand, as an animated drawing of a spaceship scoots across the paper, suggesting a connection between UFO fantasies and the magical possibilities of cinema." -Fred Camper, Chicago Reader
