Bravo is the surname of the old lady portrayed in this video, the mother-grandmother of the author. Bravo also means brave, as though in reference to the encounter with the nude figure of the mother, revealed in desecrated images. 6th Independent Vídeo & Interactive Phenomena Show

An extraordinary ethnographic document of the modifications made by the residents of the Trobriand Islands, in Papua New Guinea, to the traditional British game of cricket. In response to colonialism the islanders have changed the game into an outlet for mock warfare, community interchange, tribal rivalry, sexual innuendo and a lot of riotous fun. Intercut sequences explaining traditional cricket indicate how much the game has been altered; historical footage and commentary review the history of British colonialism in the area. This is not a glimpse of a disappearing culture, but a piece of propaganda by indigenous Trobrianders in favour of their national game which, with good reason, they consider to be far superior to the English "rubbish" from which it was derived.

For more then 500 years indigenous people in Chiapas have been struggling to regain ownership of their lands. Until the Zapatista uprising in 1994, most indigenous people in Chiapas existed by working on large plantations for rich landowners. “The Sacred Land” describes what life was like on these plantations. It includes stories that go back four generations about slavery-like conditions in which people worked for the rancheros. Produced in the autonomous municipality of "November 17th" and edited by indigenous video makers, The Sacred Land helps provide a context for the events of 1994 through unique insight into the past. Community members reflect on how life has changed since 1994 and express their hopes and dreams for their collective future.

Various permutations and combinations of Abraham Zapruder's 8mm home movie footage of the assassination of JFK. My work is intended as an investigation of the footage as a visual, experiential, and cultural document. In the United States this footage is both notorious and invisible; seldom actually seen, it is very well known; when seen, it remains opaque. This work is intended to add a level of "transparency" to the original. It is set to Jajouka music in order to bring to the foreground the ritual aspects of this visual, mechanical, and media historical event. 6th Independent Vídeo & Interactive Phenomena Show
