'A Message to the Seventh Generation'
A film by Max Pugh and Marc Silver.
This film celebrates indigenous world views in the global fight
against Biopiracy – the new colonialism. From the Cook Islands to
New Zealand, from Vanuatu to the Earth Summit in Johannesburg,
we have been asking indigenous people for their views on Western
science—its vision of a genetically engineered future and its deep
links with corporate profits, globalisation and colonisation.
Combining passionate critiques of our potential futures and living
alternatives to the globalised monoculture with music and stunning
visuals, this film will take its audiences on a journey into truths they
thought disappeared long ago—inspiring and educating them to
ask serious questions of the collective illusion we call progress.
Dreamin’ of Travellin’
A short film by Stan Mytkowski (Chenko)
An abstract audio-visual journey. Close your eyes, relax and move.
The Remote Controller
A DV sound/video piece by People Like Us (UK)
Media artist Vicki Bennett (People Like Us) is renowned for her
ironic and humorous take on life. For this work she samples multiple
image and sound footage from ”Orphan films“ (educational films
sourced from 80,000 held in the Prelinger Archives). Historically she
explores the subject of experimentation in human body and
machine interfaces—its successes and pitfalls—in the 20th century.
The piece is in development to become an interactive installation
work later in 2003.
