Hamas: Behind the Mask
ES ES-OVNI CTX-S014-SS001-0012 · Item · 2005
Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

This documentary by filmmaker Shelley Saywell takes the viewer beyond the headlines and into the minds and hearts of Hamas. Sayell and her two-person crew spent many months securing unprecedented access not only to the current leaders of Hamas, but also one-on-one interviews with insightful, knowledgeable Israelis and Palestinians not often heard from. A crucially important resource was consultant Olivia Ward, a veteran Toronto Star journalist whose intimate knowledge of, and credibility within, the region proved invaluable.

Half-Life

Chris Oakley's new film ‘Half-life' looks at the histories of Harwell, birthplace of the UK nuclear industry, and the development of fusion energy technology at the Culham facility in Oxfordshire. The film examines nuclear science research through a historical and cultural filter. Drawing on archive footage of the sites, alongside contemporary materials, the work draws structural clues from nuclear physics, exploring the heritage of nuclear energy from the roots of the technology that drove the industrial revolution. The relationship between nature, and our reliance on mineral energy resources, and the portrayal of the often-mundane realities of nuclear research seek to ‘normalise' the subject. With the recent widespread acceptance of the reality of climate change driven by carbon dioxide emissions, the work explores the realities and myths surrounding the nuclear sciences.

Habitus

Habitus arose from the idea of shedding light on the circumstances surrounding class housing and to explore some of the complex Habits(us) and routines that it has produced in the Barcelona inner-city neighbourhood of the Raval. Various people talk about their lives in relation to their private habitat, the space they inhabit. The video is a kind of narrative puzzle around the complex net that must be woven in order to look for, find, maintain, coexist and live in the Raval at a time of intense urban activity.

Sri Ramana Maharshi communicated his teachings more by silence than words. This silence stilled turbulent minds and penetrated the hearts of sincere souls. Though thousands flocked to Sri Ramana Maharshi from the world over, few moved with him more intimately. They received his grace, absorbed his effulgence and spent a lifetime experiencing His Living Presence.
