Cinematic Era: 2004 Vintage

Nutria are a large, odd looking rodent from Argentina that were imported to the United States. This is a short documentary about them.

In this documentary by the writer Lin Shuangbu, the passionate and busy sports spirit is expressed in many short cuts. The free entry and exit of time and space is close to the expression style of the stream of consciousness, and he expresses his life background, social movement, literary philosophy and growth background concisely and neatly. Of course, the technique of screen transition and fade-in is also extremely smooth and vivid. There is a sense of reality of video reporting, and the revolutionary character of social movement in pursuit of truth is also hidden in the editing features.

Through the presence of Renée Bagelet, France's last cowherd, René Duranton pays a vibrant tribute to all the peasant women of France and the world. Full of humor and suffering, such is the life of 72-year-old Renée, who has been herding cows since the age of 8. She knows her land well. She only has four hectares, which is just enough for her eight cows, 80 chickens, and 30 geese. She doesn't need a tractor; she plows with her cows. For hay, she makes a cart and backs the team into the barn without any maneuvering. She prunes and milks the vines. The harvest meal ends late into the night, to the sound of the accordion.

Now, in an inspiring film, we probe the secrets of Niagara Falls. From helicopter and speedboat, at high-tech labs and at rope's end, we join earth scientists as they struggle to piece together the epic life story of North America's most celebrated natural wonder. We experience the Falls that daredevils and stunters could never tame -- the Niagara that is a vertical battleground between water and rock. Most think of it as a vision eternal, but in fact, Niagara's life has been a geological blink of the eye. Only a hundred and twenty five centuries ago it was unleashed, born of the last glacial surge that swept the continent. Since then, it has traveled more than seven miles upriver, cutting the Earth's crust like a knife. Its relentless procession has granted scientists a breathtaking window into the past.

In a voiceover Stan Brakhage articulates his resentments about the use of computers for art production and in general. This comment is contrasted by video imagery turning more and more abstract until it bursts into a sea of square pixels. The video is an ironic illustration of Brakhage's views as these "defunct" images reveal a kind of beauty of their own.

Called the Main Street of America, it linked east and west for nearly 60 memorable years and became part of our national folklore in the process.

"The film was made using principles derived from Stephen Wolfram’s work on cellular automata (A New Kind of Science) to determine the content or colour of the shots, their duration, and the time of their appearance: the palette of effects, and their rhythmical development (from the simple alternations with which the film begins to the complex dynamic structures of its later parts),is entirely the result of computational processes that model natural events. John Cage instructed us that art should imitate nature in its manner of operation; I have tried to take the lesson. The music was composed by Colin Clark, using related principles".
