In this film, a mother and her daughter demonstrate that poverty in Russia is increasingly a women's phenomenon. Liuba and Alesya are milkmaids at a state farm – a profession that is underpaid and perceived as too strenuous for most people.

More than half a million native Hawaiians were living in the islands at the time of European contact in 1778. Within 50 years, that population was halved as Western diseases claimed thousands of lives. A litany of events followed: American missionaries preached unfamiliar ideas and customs; sugarcane and pineapple plantations absorbed individual farmlands; waves of immigrant workers arrived, making Hawaiians a minority in their own land; and WWII brought a lasting military presence. University of Hawaii sociologists estimate that the extinction of full-blooded Hawaiians could come within the next 45 years. To millions of travellers the world over, Hawaii is an alluring picture-postcard paradise. But to its Native Hawaiian people, nothing could be further from the truth.

Various permutations and combinations of Abraham Zapruder's 8mm home movie footage of the assassination of JFK. My work is intended as an investigation of the footage as a visual, experiential, and cultural document. In the United States this footage is both notorious and invisible; seldom actually seen, it is very well known; when seen, it remains opaque. This work is intended to add a level of "transparency" to the original. It is set to Jajouka music in order to bring to the foreground the ritual aspects of this visual, mechanical, and media historical event. 6th Independent Vídeo & Interactive Phenomena Show
