David Versus Monsanto
David Versus Monsanto
ES ES-OVNI CTX-S014-SS001-0033 · Item · 2009
Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

Imagine that a storm blows across your garden and that now, genetically-manipulated seeds are in your crops. A multi-national corporation pays you a visit, demands that you surrender your crops - and then sues you for $200,000 for the illegal use of patented, GM seeds. In this definitive David and Goliath battle, one farmer stands up against a massive multinational, and its right to claim ownership to a living organism.
Davant de la crisis del creixement, decreixement: Presentació
ES ES-OVNI RSC-4078 · Item · 2009

Our society has been evolving towards a system based on commercialisation and globalisation, driven by competition and its dynamic of constant growth. We are nearing the limits of this growth in both natural (resource depletion and contamination) and social (injustice, inequalities, physical, psychic and moral poverty) terms, a situation which is generating conflicts on all levels, collective as well as individual... the system has reached a crisis point, a multidimensional crisis (social, economic and environmental) that puts the continuity of the current system in doubt. De-growth offers a theoretical base and a movement that brings together many different initiatives under the one umbrella, initiatives that suggest alternatives to the current system and aren’t based on constant and unlimited economic growth. It sets out to reencounter the multi-dimensional nature of human beings, to make us aware of the limits and scales of our environment, to regain control of our own decisions through autonomy and self-management as a society, to leave the dominant individualism behind and, at a broader level, to decrease production capacity and consumption, infrastructures... The initiators of the de-growth movements in Catalonia, Italy and France will present this introductory talk, offering three points of view that reflect the diversity of the movement.

Daughters of Wisdom

Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

Daughters of Wisdom is an intimate portrait of the nuns of Kala Rongo, a rare and exceptional Buddhist Monastery exclusively for women in remote northeastern Tibet. Here, these women are receiving unprecedented educational and religious training, and preserving their rich cultural heritage even as they slowly reshape it. Some shy, some outspoken, all committed to the often difficult life they have chosen, the nuns graciously allowed the camera a never-before-seen glimpse into their vibrant spiritual community and insight into their extraordinary lives.

 Untitled
Dating: Do's and Don'ts
ES ES-OVNI RSC-2671 · Item · 1949
Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

Classic instructional film for teen daters, presented here in the rare (but incomplete) Kodachrome version. (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.)
Das Duracellband
Das Duracellband
ES ES-OVNI CTX-S008-SS002-0002 · Item · 1980
Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

Using the corporate image as a reference point, Klaus von Bruch radicalises the foundations of media persuasion. In "Das Duracellband", advertising images are repeated in a loop broken only by brief fragments of archival war documentaries.
Darkness
ES ES-OVNI RSC-3456 · Item · 2010
Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

This film chronicles the journey of a man unable to come to terms with crimes committed in his past. Rotting away in a self-imposed dungeon of guilt and self-loathing, the man must break out of his exile, and face his past transgressions so he can find forgiveness and ultimately redemption. Revisiting his past is only the beginning as he must also make amends to those he wronged. He must first travel through the darkness in order to reach the light.

Dark Days
ES ES-OVNI CTX-S012-SS005-0003 · Item · 2000
Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

In the pitch black of the tunnel, rats swarm through piles of garbage as high-speed trains leaving Penn Station tear through the darkness. For some of those who have gone underground, it has been home for as long as twenty-five years. Deeply moving and surprisingly entertaining, Dark Days is an eye-opening experience that shatters the myths of homelessness by revealing a thriving community living in tunnels beneath New York City and honestly capturing their resilience and strength in their struggle to survive. With a haunting soundtrack by DJ Shadow.
