This video documents two early live telecommunication performances by media artist Tom Klinkowstein: On 27 April 1982, at cultural center 't Hoogt in Utrecht, Klinkowstein employed slow-scan TV technology to juxtapose pictures of a shopping mall in his Pennsylvanian hometown Levittown, a 1950s planned suburban city, with then present-day Netherlands. On 13 May 1982, Klinkowstein in Rochester, NY, and Ruud van Empel in Rotterdam produced a series of print facsimiles simultaneously in both countries using telecopiers and an international telephone connection.

Documentary by Bill Stamets about the American Nazi Party's 1982 rally held in Chicago's Lincoln Park in response to the city's annual Gay and Lesbian Pride Parade.

In this centennial tribute to the Brooklyn Bridge, the artist combines computer and analog processed visuals with an interconnected meld of the sounds of the bridge with clarinet and synthesized music. Elements of light and heavy materials contrast in both the visual and sonic tracks, greatly enhancing the grace of this piece.

Political hyperbole and media rhetoric are the focus of This is the Truth, in which Hall confronts the calculated platitudes and contrived gestures that signify "truth" in a media-saturated society. In a characterization that is part dictator and part preacher, Hall, flanked by emblematic red banners, recites a litany of clichés: "Mind your superiors... Obey the laws... Leave politics to the politicians..." The monotonous repetition of these aphorisms imbues them with a sinister, Orwellian ambiguity. Through theatricality and spectacle, this work continues Hall's investigation of the manipulation of images and language as signs of power.

‘Bob & Jill’ forms a collage of several, seemingly separate, narrative strands: naturalistic interviews with art students reflecting on the reception of their work; a faux interview with the artist acting the part of a successful businessman; scenes of a man making breakfast; and a text about a bourgeois couple whose complex problems are conveniently solved.

Katura receives a mysterious key from her grandmother, who instructs her to go across the forest to attend a Halloween ball at the castle. Along the way, Katura encounters witches and ghouls, a missing prince and a shapeshifting cat.

Sherman underscores the oppositional component of the board game with split screen techniques and evocative black and white graphics.

Dressed as a virgin mother, Michel Journiac tears down his garment and reveals a rag doll tied to his belly. He frees it carefully, presses it against his heart and caresses it gently, then he smears it with blood and stuffs it with raw meat dripping with blood. Finally, he wraps it slowly in a white shroud, he buries it, then collapses to the ground, overcome by grief. This action took place without an audience and was prepared with a screenplay.

After The Indian Spielberg, Joëlle and Catherine meet up at the top of « L’Aiguille du Midi ». They take a series of photos. Six months later, in Lille, one of these pictures is thrown at the ground and shot randomly as Joëlle is walking by. These pictures, shot again frame by frame, generate the film : with a repetitive music background, we can see glimpses of storytelling, a story that is setting up, with constant feedback of « L’Aiguille du Midi ».

Dégringolade (TUMBLE) - was produced in the pixilation technique. This process allows alive characters and real objects to achieve absolutely unrealizable movements in reality. Everything becomes possible with the stop motion technique. This film shows an imaginary and frenetic world where it slides, runs, falls, flies, jumps, fidgets, leaps, rolls, bolts, and boozes; it is a wild weird world.

CARMEN CARRASCAL presents a vivid and moving picture of life high in the mountains of Colombia.
