This short film focuses on urban gay youth and their lives on the most popular gay strip in the world. It is an exposé on a rising subculture of Black and Latino gay youth representing the Hip-Hop generation. The people portrayed maintain the aggressive hyper masculine image and attitude represented in the Hip-Hop culture, yet they are gay, thus contradicting the stereotypical image of homosexuals. Through the eyes of these males, known as homo thugs, we see gay rappers, Blood gang members, pimps, and prostitutes in their struggle to maintain dignity as gay minorities.

A dark comedy about witchcraft, depression, and the sexual sibling rivalry between a gay man and his white trash sister. Family jealousy reaches twisted new heights as mentally-unstable brother and exhibitionistic sister engage in a perverse competition. Add to this stew, a neighbor (whose a witch on disability) and you have a campy exercise in dysfunction.

Dancing to Architecture was the first open source documentary of its kind and is to date the only existing motion picture account of the phenomenal This Is Not Art festivals (TINA) - held in Newcastle, Australia every year in October. Filmed in 2002, Dancing to Architecture is essential for anyone who wants to gain an impression of what the TINA festival is like. It is rapid, chaotic, anarchic and urgent. It is dramatic, electric, technical, and socially relevant. It is Australia’s biggest event for communications, new media arts, music and activism. If you are expecting this film to tell you what This Is Not Art is, then we suggest you stop and go look at their website instead:

“In the evening when little Kay was at home and half undressed, he crept up onto the chair by the window and peeped out of the little hole. A few snowflakes were falling, and one of these, the biggest, remained on the edge of the window box. It grew bigger and bigger, till it became the figure of a woman dressed in the finest white gauze, which, appeared to be made of millions of starry flakes. She was delicately lovely, but all ice- glittering, dazzling ice.” -Stan Brakhage from Film Biographies (quoting from the Hans Christian Anderson Story “The Snow Queen”)

A short film about four friends: Thabiso was a national boxer; Thabo, known to his friends as Kwasa Kwasa, is a DJ; Bimbo, a true intellectual, is a man of short sentences; and Moalosi an AIDS activist. All four are HIV+. They meet to reflect on their lives, to cry, to reminisce - but also, most importantly, to laugh.

At Cambrai in November 1917, a tank force of over three hundred tanks punched a hole four miles deep into the German lines in the space of a single morning, an advance comparable in size to that made at Passchendale in four months. But the Germans counter-attacked and the result of the battle was a virtual draw, with the front lines shifting slightly. However, the battle of Cambrai marked a major turning point in the course of the war - and military history as a whole.The era of trench warfare was coming to an end and technology was beginning to reign supreme on the battlefields of Europe.

"Radical pamphleteer film," Manifesto "can be used as a visual emblem for any avant-garde manifestation. Manifesto is a cry. A cry for finally a cinema freed from all economic, ideological or artistic constraints." (Nicole Brenez, Encyclopédie du court-métrage français, 2004)

Electronic exorcism? Computerized global burning? Digital dance of death? In the beginning reMI's video zijkfijergijok makes a textual reference to eschatology and other finalities. Excerpts of collages from an old folio apparently a religious book of instruction or lamentations supply the background which is evenly overlapped by violently chaotic grids. Everything is reduced to fractions of seconds and dissected or shredded to the scale of subliminal levels of perception.

A short film about three young kids pursuing a bloody battle against each other in their yard.

LILIUM is the second in a series of films featuring vertical strips of color made from digital images of plants. The motif is removed from the viewer's gaze, having appeared only once and then become more indistinct. As a result, the audience is able to distinguish solely the colors of a lily.
