Love Left the Masquerade: Peter Medak's Cinema of Pretenders

Peter Medak's films toy with notions of cosplay, masquerade, gamesmanship, and how power and permission structures figure into these human diversions. His filmography includes The Ruling Class (1972), The Changeling (1980), A Day in the Death of Joe Egg (1971), The Krays (1990), and others, all which capitalize on these ideas. Sanity is fragile, ephemeral, and suspended from a very thin tether in all his films. This piece gets to the bottom of why Medak centers his work on such themes, and why they carry biographical weight for him personally.

The MiG-21 Project

The 25-minute long documentary details the entirety of the artistic process from Ralph Ziman’s inspiration for the project and acquisition of the MiG-21, to the international collaboration to create the beadwork and assemble the art piece, leading up to the project’s unveiling at The Museum of Flight. Also covered in the film is background on the MiG-21, including details about the plane used (decommissioned tail number 8971) and how MiGs’ presence in the Angolan Civil War ultimately hastened the end of white rule in South Africa. See historical footage and personal interviews, including the Polish pilot who flew tail number 8971 in the 1980s, a South African Border War pilot and the team of artists and craftspeople in Southern Africa and the United States who took on the huge task of covering the aircraft in tens of millions of glass beads.

En busca del Indio Conejo

There is a mysterious indigenous legend in Panama: "the Rabbit Indian." He was known for his resistance to civilization, for fighting other ethnic groups, and then eating their remains. They are said to be small (1.5 meters tall), with long ears, and their bodies are completely painted. During the day they hide in caves high in the mountains and only come out at night to hunt. This is a myth that has become reality. When we speak of a past marked by wars and cultural disappearances, this is precisely what is happening today. Though elusive, the Rabbit Indian is one of the last remaining links in the Naso culture.
