Puerto Rican American rapper Hamza Pérez ended his life as a drug dealer 12 years ago, and started down a new path as a young Muslim. Now he's moved to Pittsburgh's tough North Side to start a new religious community, rebuild his shattered family, and take his message of faith to other young people through his uncompromising music as part of the hip-hop duo M-Team. But when the FBI raids his mosque, Hamza must confront the realities of the post-9/11 world, and challenge himself.

New Atlantis is the second episode in a series of narrative fragments about haptic visuality and presence in Vancouver. In them I am playing with embodied contact with objects and living creatures that can occur outside fixed clichés of vision, touch and speech. This film is about viral real-estate speculation, telepathy to serve as a medium for communication between species and ephemeral curses that re-set the destabilized animals and landscape on this condo-crane-riddled coastline. This film soundtrack has been created with the lightbulb filament recordings of Montreal sound artist Anne-Francoise Jacques.

We, Who Speak the Complete Language. Two young Triki students attending the Bilingual Teachers' College of the Mexican state of Oaxaca (Escuela Normal Bilingüe e Intercultural de Oaxaca) saw Al Gore's documentary film An Inconvenient Truth about the threat of global warming. Seeking to share this environmental message with their community as well as promote the use of the Nanj Nï´ïn language (also known as Triki) in new spaces, the students decided to make a voice-over of the film into their language. In order to translate the script, the students carried out a series of workshops and consultations within the community in order to recover words that were no longer in use and to generate new words that they now propose to the Triki community of Yuma´ Niko (San Andrés Chicahuaxtla) and neighboring towns.
