a doll's house is...
ES ES-OVNI RSC-2251 · Item · 2007

a doll's house is...... is a work which explores the artistic connection between movement that occurs in an apartment building, other units in that building and the exterior world. It shows that each motion, whether it is made by human, animal, object, light or sound, is connected and extended by other motions to compose a phrase, a sentence of great artistic interest. For example, a man is exercising in his apartment. As he makes one gesture, another gesture is made in an apartment next to his-which is connected to a light which gets turned on in another part of the building-which is connected to a sound which occurs somewhere else. Each movement by itself is meaningless, boring, cliched. But seen as one component of a larger artistic phenomenon, it becomes important, meaningful.

This film seeks the truth behind one of the most mysterious Nazi propaganda films ever shot inside the Warsaw Ghetto: a silent film that meticulously placed staged scenes of Jews enjoying a life of luxury in the ghetto alongside other chilling images that required no staging at all. Ironically, after the war, filmmakers and museums used fragments of the film as objective, general illustrations to accompany narratives of survivors and other written documents. Few people were aware of the dubious manner in which these images were created and the true but inconceivable reality that they bear witness to. The cinematic deception was forgotten and the black and white images remained etched in memory as historical truth.A Film Unfinished shakes our naive trust in photographic images and the way we perceive the historical past.

Fourteen centuries after the revelation of the holy Qur'an to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Islam today is the world's second largest and fastest growing religion. Muslim gay filmmaker Parvez Sharma travels the many worlds of this dynamic faith discovering the stories of its most unlikely storytellers: lesbian and gay Muslims. Filmed over 5 1/2 years, in 12 countries and 9 languages, "A Jihad for Love" comes from the heart of Islam. Looking beyond a hostile and war-torn present, this film seeks to reclaim the Islamic concept of a greater Jihad, which can mean 'an inner struggle' or 'to strive in the path of God'. In doing so the film and its remarkable subjects move beyond the narrow concept of 'Jihad' as holy war
