A wandering gaze on a boreal landscape. The video Mouvances explores the representation of space as an experiential place. Observation, contemplation, and also desire of closeness. The landscape by alterating, metamorphoses itself as a surface of creation and manipulation.

Tues March 25, 5:30pm. It started with an ungodly racket. Half air-raid siren and half screeching feedback, the noise pierced all ears within a half-mile radius. Diners in a restaurant on 15th Avenue wondered if Seattle was under attack. Other Capitol Hillers optimistically attributed the racket to a garden-variety fire or freeway pileup, albeit one serious enough to require the screaming attention of every ambulance and fire truck in town Meanwhile, those in The Stranger's offices gazed down onto the source of all the trouble--eight or 10 guys in sharp suits and hats, paired off on corners, where they alternately ran jumper cables to screaming siren-boxes and bleated through distorted megaphones.

After the sudden death of her mother from an accidental gunshot, Minda Martin pieces together her family’s history through the voices of those left behind. Shot in Super 8 and video, this intimate portrait gives voice to a working-class family in the American Southwest, shaped by poverty, loss, and resilience. Blending personal testimony with social critique, the film becomes both an act of remembrance and a stark reflection on life at the margins of contemporary America.

Mother Takes a Holiday

How the all-electric home emancipates women: a drama of how the women in the family manipulate their men to upgrade the laundry facilities. (The Prelinger Archives are a source of educational material, mainly ordered by theme, giving a vision of the dark side, the underbelly, perhaps naive of the American dream and the America that is often hidden behind the media curtain.)
