Les Enfants de la Terre, documentary short
‘Cezanne’s Eye II’ is an experiential journey through the body of a unique landscape - that of Cezanne’s Provence. Using the intuitive and expressionist visual language and a striking specially composed soundtrack the film is a movement through land, sky, colour, sound and music that is both sensual and visually challenging.

Ikuko's mother died two years ago, and since graduating from high school she has devoted herself to housework as a housewife, cooking dinner and waiting for her father. Although she is no longer a child, she feels an irresistible sense of loneliness when she realises that her former boyfriends and friends have started to go their own ways. But this is her night alone. The light of the moon and the vision of her mother surround her gently as she weeps. The film looks at a woman, but without a story, carefully capturing the inner world of a girl with dense and beautiful images. The title "Lacrime" is Latin for "tears".
Fumie returns to her room where she lives alone as if she is escaping from someone. She immediately takes off the underwear she was wearing and washes it. You stink. She sniffs her washed panties, curious about what the stranger has just said to her. At the cinema where she works part-time, a colleague, a projectionist, stalks her, and Fumie's heart slowly begins to race. The film is a more eloquent and naked account of women's lives and their true feelings about menstruation. The film is a raw but lyrical portrayal of body odour, vomiting and other things that everyone tries to hide, as well as the fragile friendship between women, which leaves a strange aftertaste after watching.
"To move the world (and thus the mind!) with one's eyes, to put (part of) it into a box (like we do) and shake it, gently, as to bring its (the world's, the mind's) particles to life (again) [...] A souvenir; capturing (in vain!) time (lost), passing us by like the shadow of a fast-moving cloud." -T.K.

Baseball in the '70s was a decade of transition and innovation. It was a decade dominated by super teams: the Big Red Machine, the flamboyant Oakland A's, and the turbulent New York Yankees. We were treated to the final glory of Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente, and Bob Gibson, and thrilled by the excellence of Tom Seaver, Reggie Jackson, and Johnny Bench. It was astroturf, the DH and polyester uniforms. It was Yaz, Pops, and Catfish. It was free agency, fantastic bloopers, and Fisk's home run. Baseball in the '70s, a decade of glory.

The film weaves the tale of Louie B., a hapless cowboy who thinks the world would be a better place if strangers would kiss each other more often. After a run-in with a band of crooks headed by Stacey, Louie goes blind. He is taken in by Billie Jean - a tough-love prostitute, and her colleagues - who are as gay as they are straight. What follows is a fabulously eclectic look into the life of an East Hollywood, Heydy Fleiss-style bordello for the working man, whose goal it is to liberate heterosexual social mores.
Part-improvised and starring a cast of nonactors led by real-life punk Ana Hernandez (as Alma, which also means “soul”), ALMA PUNK traces the tortuous path of a young riot grrl from the Mexico City punk scene as she moves north to Tijuana and, eventually, towards the United States. It confidently breaks with the rules of staging docudrama with an unsparing look at Alma’s love life, unfakeable scene bohemianism and extensive location footage of Mexico before NAFTA and after the 1985 earthquake. “I feel like no one is supporting me,” Alma says. “Guys want everything and give nothing in return. Isn’t that so?” Like NADIE ES INOCENTE, this film uses the intimacy and flexibility of video (this time, 3/4″) to wring innovation in the editing room, this time to give Alma a similarly alienated and jittery headspace.

At "Jesus Name" churches in Alabama and Georgia. Services started in a mild, restrained way but the tempo went way up, really quick. It all started with a newspaper report of an arrest of a snake handler at a church outside Newport, TN. Pastor Will Campbell drove over to Newport to talk with the sheriff and see if some sensible settlement could be reached. They succeeded and the little church in Newport was allowed to continue its services. Will Campbell's history of helping folks in trouble goes way back. He walked with the school children in the Little Rock insanity. He was fired from the University of Mississippi for playing ping pong with a black person who was doing one of the marches through Mississippi.
