WORLD ENTERPRISES

In 1940, on the dry westside of Kauaʻi, the Kekaha Sugar Company began a six-month mail-order film subscription with World Enterprises, an Oʻahu-based distributor—screening films for workers on their Sundays off from harvesting and processing sugarcane. Varied in style, the films shared a common theme: American power taming lands and peoples of the “frontier” through extraction, an encroachment justified by declared ideals of progress. WORLD ENTERPRISES is a collage of radical possibilities sourced entirely from the original 1940 film program. Recontextualized by Banua-Simon, the short compilation enters a dreamlike conversation with both the material realities of the moment of its creation and the present day, culminating in an explicit “cut-up poem” provocation that reflects on community amid political defeat while pointing toward a revolutionary movement just beneath the surface.

La Lucha De Lucia

Lucía “La Guerrera”, a 16-year-old Mexican lucha libre wrestler, as she struggles to find herself in the wrestling world that she grew up in. Her Father, “El Patron Enmascarado”, who has trained her from a young age, believes that she must maintain the tactics of a ruda (a wrestler who plays dirty to win) in order to have a successful wrestling career. A persona that has laid the foundation of their family’s legacy for generations and been the key to their success. Lucía is determined to challenge her family’s ways. She is left to decide if she will trust her own intuition and put up a real fight or play by the unspoken rules of the game, surrendering to the strategy that has been forced upon her.

Sovereign

A powerful feature documentary centring on Keʻeaumoku Kapu, a Kanaka ʻŌiwi (Native Hawaiian) leader and caretaker of the Nā ʻAikāne o Maui Cultural Center. The film chronicles the Kapu family’s multi-generational battle to reclaim ancestral land in Maui’s Kauaʻula Valley — a struggle against the enduring legacies of plantation agriculture, the US-backed overthrow, and modern militourism. Guided by the philosophy “I ka wa ma mua, ka wa ma hope” (the future is in the past), the narrative weaves together archival footage, digital cartography, and sacred chants. It transforms Kapu’s twenty-year legal odyssey into a cinematic reflection on Indigenous resilience. Ea is more than a profile of one man; it is a testament to the survival of Native land and water management practices, offering a roadmap for future generations fighting for sovereignty across the Hawaiian archipelago.

Hell Nation - The Story of Dead Kennedys

On July the 19th, 1978, the Dead Kennedys would play their first show at the Mabuhay Gardens in San Francisco, California. This venue, also known as The Fab Mab was somewhat of a legendary venue. It saw the likes of The Runaways, Ramones, The Dead Boys and even Motorhead stretch their strings there. So what better place for the Dead Kennedys to launch their assault onto the world. The Dead Kennedys would be formed through The Recycler. A now legendary newspaper that brought many influential groups together. Metallica, Guns N Roses and Motley Crue all started from classified ads here. Whilst of course the Kennedys were a full band, one man would essentially become the spokesperson for the group and his name would become synonymous with them. You can’t hear the name Jello Biafra without thinking of the politics behind Dead Kennedys.
