According to Mr. Julio Pena, quartermaster of the Chapultepec Palace: "One day I came into the room where the prisoners had been kept and noticed a fair-sized chuck of the new carpeting has been removed...bloodstains...no other prisoners were being held there. I assumed this was where President and Vice President of the Republic has been assassinated." English Subtitles

Victoriano Huerta sent his aide, colonel Manuel Guasque, in order to set up the betrayal. It was seemingly agreed to bombard the local homes, diverting the aim of the cannons so as not to touch the combatants, thus forcing the Senate to depose the president and appoint a successor, all of which was helped along by the drunkard Wilson with threats of deploying Yankee troops.

Because of personal reasons, California police agent George Camarena requests and is given permission to take on a drug lord and his men in Mexico. Despite marital problems and the worries of his aged mother, he departs for Mexico knowing full well the enormous difficulties that lay ahead. Working among killers to get clues, he winds up with few answers after gun battles to the death. The only good card he holds may be his connection with a woman in the gang, Alejandra.

In March of 85, I filmed the stainless steel square in Boston on a very cold, windy and bright day. The piece of steel is much alive with sound and has its own incredible energy. That same month, I filmed my friends Charly and Natalie Di Costanzo in the redwoods of Eureka, CA using a blue-gel microphone.

Five dynamic women have an intimate conversation. Shot in extreme close-up, the film gives insight into their world view and mine.

Helena Lindgren's film begins with her grandmother recounting how she was ashamed when she got her first period. Then follows a film collage in which Lindgren slowly moves the men from the male, medical and stigmatized to the physical, female and liberating to finally return to the grandmother who quotes her own mother: 'it should be this way'.

This documentary offers a brief look into the extraordinary life of Emily Hobhouse (9 April 1860 – 8 June 1926) – a British welfare campaigner – whom singlehandedly took on the British establishment during the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) over its treatment of Boer woman and children in British concentration camps.

'Intellectual Properties' is a noir about romantic meetings, betrayal, surveillance and intrigue. But it is also a deconstruction of these genre tropes. As in much of his practice, Adams examines the intersections between personal lives and mass media in a self-referential and ironic style. The artist has constructed a multi-layered text that asks if linear narratives, intellectual property, and holistic experience can exist in a media-saturated, decentered, and fragmented social realm.
