              Five patients dying in the Toronto Grace Hospital invite you to share their ultimate experience – a doorway through which we all must pass. It is humbling to be brought face to face with dying and death but also deeply rewarding. The generosity of each of the patients, their families, friends and caregivers is remarkable. They have given a rare gift to the living.

              À travers les moments forts du IVe Forum Mondial de l'eau, qui se tenait l'an dernier à Mexico, le documentaire Discours d'eau présente la lutte menée par les Mazahuas, paysans autochtones victimes depuis plus de 25 ans d'une gestion hydraulique centraliste et catastrophique. Habitants d'une région montagneuse et boisée abondante de précipitations, cette communauté est néanmoins assoiffée. Non loin de là se trouvent pourtant les énormes réservoirs d'eau sous la surveillance du Sistema Cutzamala. Celui-ci, développé à la fin des années 1970, par le biais du détournement de nombreuses rivières périphériques, achemine 19 000 litres d'eau chaque seconde vers le réseau d'aqueduc de Mexico. Comble de l'absurde, à travers le réseau désuet de la mégapole, les fuites d'eau sont estimées à 35%. Discours d'eau met en scène la lutte des Mazahuas, aux côtés de militants du monde entier, et les discours sur la privatisation de l'eau qu'ont tenus des représentants de gouvernements et d'entreprises derrière les portes closes du IVe Forum Mondial de l'eau. Or, ces discours sont à peine couverts par les médias, malgré leur énorme impact sur d'innombrables populations.

              Desobediencia

              They form but a small minority. One out of a hundred. Ten in a thousand. They dared to defy the military authority and its rigid discipline. They consciously disobeyed direct orders. The price they paid for remaining true to their convictions is more than they ever bargained for.

              Deconstruction

              A last homage to a vestige of the post-industrial era, rubbish for some, a shelter for others. The video medium and digitalization allow us to capture the moment of destruction and thus to immortalize the object. The deconstruction of time provides here the opportunity to revive for a few minutes the souls of those who lived in these breathless ruins.

              Dear Sis
              ES ES-OVNI RSC-542 · Item · 1998
              Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

              "Dear Sis, I am sitting on the subway and all of a sudden I have this urge to write to you . . ." Here begins an apology letter written from one sister to another. Starting with the issue of sibling rivalry, the video is an examination of the connection and distinction between one person to the next  -- taking us further to the greater subject of the humanity. The letter is an actual one I have written to my sister which was never sent. Images is filmed on subway train in New York City.

              The police phoned. They left a message on the machine. They said he was dead. The video unwinds through stories of sex for rent, unclaimed bodies, cigarette burns, and other monuments of life’s long run from wall to wall. Cut the Parrot is three grotesque comedies in one: the stories of Gerry, Susan, and Albert. Songs of hope and heartbreak spill from the mouths of the performers. The order of impersonation rules.
