The Universal Clock (UC) is a documentary, which accompanies the boxed dvd set of Peter Watkins' La Commune (Paris, 1871). UC takes us through the production process of La Commune and also shows us the commercial barriers to having Watkins' recreation of the Paris Commune shown after it was created. “The Universal Clock” refers to the standardization of video content on the 47-minute model (with commercial and public service announcements taking up the balance of the time.) Watkins calls this the 'monoform' and is shown describing this concept. UC also includes interviews with the cast members, who are non-professional actors participating in this group project. These Parisians and immigrants talk about how being part of the performance changed the way they view themselves and the media around them.

The Visitor is an almost mythical account of the artist's audience with Oba Erediauwa, the current king of Benin (in southern Nigeria) and takes the form of a photo-essay. A local narrator follows the artist into the Oba's palace and recounts the conversation between the European visitor and the royal host and his court of chiefs. The exchange centers on the Benin Bronzes (which were famously looted by the British in 1897 and are now in over 500 museums and collections mainly in the West), on collective memory and the demand for restitution.

“The Voice” shows a world where fundamental Christians and Muslims have finally found out that their basic values are pretty much the same.

Where is the solution to the problem? The Voice Television Network gives us an answer.
