Directed by Eliane de Latour, "Contes et d comptes de la Cour" looks at women's position in society in male-dominated Niger.

The scenes take place in the Ile-de-France (Paris area) social security office (CRAMIF). From October to December of 1992, we filmed the "Invalidity" and "Occupational Accidents" departments, as well as the mail room, the typists and the archivists. This "real life" is nothing but real, so real ; eight hours a day in the office for those who are called the "laborers of the service industry".

Serge Daney (1944-1992) expressed himself strongly about the world, using the tools of a "Barthes cinema lover in early retirement" as he used to call himself. Co-writer of the book "Devant la recrudescence des vols de sacs à main", Pilippe Roger has filmed Serge Daney confronting him with four major stages in the evolution of cinema : by screening extracts from films by Chaplin, Stevens, Eustache and Truffaut, adding rhythm into this vivid and intelligent, strict but piercing documentary. Serge Daney takes risks : he rushes forward, plying between ethic and aestheticism, destruction and salvation, past and present, Europe and America, fantasy and reality, cinema and psycho-analysis, literary and technical languages, watching and showing. There's enough material here to reconsider the video.

The characters in this film all lived in the same building: the Knights' House, at 35 Arbat Street in Moscow. Built at the beginning of the century for a few privileged families, this sumptuous residence will become after the revolution a collective apartment building. Like millions of Russians, those who lived together in this building were marked by the trials and tragedies of history. Marina Goldovskaya went in search of the former inhabitants, now dispersed. They speak to us with modesty and emotion about their memories, their secret garden and... their neighbors at 35 Arbat Street.

This collaborative work, created specifically for the 1992 Day Without Art/AIDS Awareness Day, addresses what Thornton terms "the relationship between the medicalization of the body and the personal." While the actor Ron Vawter reads aloud from a poem by Rilke, a doctor is heard discussing Vawter's medical condition. Medical photographs of internal organs and images of the moon's surface create landscapes of inner and outer space. This haunting rumination suggests the disparity between medical interpretations and personal experiences of physicality and mortality.

A Taylor comes to town looking for top-quality leather. From his apartment window, he watches the comings and goings of the other inhabitants. He grows obsessed with a woman who is also desired by the rich, powerful owner of the building. The rivalry between the two men leads to a series of events culminating in a dramatic ending.

In this short filmed during Chung Mong-hong's study in the United States, a giant cross hovers above, as floating images of the city segue into the vast expanse on the beach where an exorcism is underway, with people holding crosses and self-flagellating, contrasting with the skyline on the other side of the city, the nostalgia and alienation of the sojourner. During the exorcism, a voice-over relates the varied reactions of the bystanders. What is ‘exorcism’, and how do symbols, sounds and imagery relate to each other? In this highly experimental work, Chung compares the director’s montage with the process of exorcism, offering an alternative interpretation and reconstruction of the film’s structure and narrative.

Miner Maurice Ruddick recounts the 1958 Springhill mine disaster.

Rivha Bogomolnaja's family lived like numerous other Jewish families in the small Lithuanian provincial town of Butrimonys until World War II. When the German troops marched in in 1941, many Lithuanians saw them as liberators from Soviet rule. For the Jews they were death. Even before the troops reached the town, the Butrimonys Jews were rounded up by local "activists", humiliated and many were cruelly murdered.

Rist's body is the canvas in this surreal montage. Unflinching displays of the artist's own menstrual blood are juxtaposed with images of gemstones, while swooping, close-up shots of Rist's arms and legs are followed by archival footage of lunar fly-bys, suggesting the ease with which visual culture has abstracted the female body into a beautiful but alien natural phenomenon.

Most of my longer films have been based on dreams and have been of a personal semi-autobiographical nature. Tarp represents my interest in more simple/basic visual themes: Color, shape, and “found object” filmmaking. I began “recording” all of the tarps in my immediate neighborhood and surrounding cities – tarps over cars and boats and campers, tarps as tents, on trucks and hanging from overpasses on freeways. The fragmented result still maintains a dream-like tone, yet speaks about the mysterious way we Americans cover-up and protect things and the strange locations in which we do it.

Confronted by his daughter's wish to own a dog, award-winning animator Dennis Tupicoff recalls the dogs of his childhood, in the industrial outer Brisbane suburb of Darra. Every household seemed to have a dog. Some were friends who shared his explorations and roamed free on adventures of their own before meeting an untimely death or simply disappearing. Some were huge, savage beasts who prowled around like the hounds of hell. This film is his memorial to those times, those feelings and to the dogs themselves.
