In a bid to reach a better life, hundreds of Moroccan kids sneak into Melilla, a Spanish enclave in the north of Morocco. This is the story of Said, a deaf Moroccan boy stuck in this Spanish portion of Africa, awed by a false sense of prosperity, tries to jump into one of the many boats that will take him to the peninsula and eventually to the fulfillment of his European dream.

NEGATIVLAND OUR FAVORITE THINGS.

Presentació / visionat a càrrec de Mark Hosler membre fundador de Negativland. Realitzada per Negativland en col·laboració amb diversos filmmakers experimentals.

OUR FAVORITE THINGS (NEGATIVLAND: PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE o NEGATIVLAND: CREATIVE MITJANA RESISTANCE) és una presentació de la sèrie de vídeos en la qual Negativland mostra el seu afecte pels sons oposats i l'ús irònic i crític de la cultura de masses bolcada en el món del cinema experimental. Durant els últims 22 anys Negativland ha publicat 19CDs i dos llibres: "Fair Usi: The Story Of The Letter O And The Numeral 2" i "Deathsentences Of The Polished And Structurally Weak" i han estat processats dues vegades per infracció de copyright. S'han convertit en artistes/activistes francs i coherents (particularment en el context de la propietat intel·lectual) proporcionant un soundtrack al creixent moviment global contra el poder corporatiu en les nostres vides.

An inside view from the streets of the events that took place over one week in the Palestinian city of Nablus in August 2004. The camera takes us into the world of children who play at being soldiers in an army that has stones and motives as its only weapons. In the midst of Israeli gunshots and bombs, a dialog takes place with soldiers who sometimes seem more frightened than their own victims. The camera, with a group of international activists and paramedics, follows the soldiers as they search the city house by house. The international presence also acts as an "occupier-witness" of the zone of impunity in which Israel regularly acts.

“Street musicians” shows the look of someone who walks the street everyday and pass lots of people, always in a hurry and always worried about the pass of time. The musician represents a parenthesis, a melody curled up in some corners of the street. Rest for our ears, the exception in the crowd.

In the depths of aquatic worlds there is an amniotic fluid that connects us, immersing us in that place where gills are evident through bubbles, plankton and algae. Fluid, lactating worlds where the horizon is hazy and undulating. Where up or down is anywhere and everywhere at the same time.
