              Osama Bin Laden Speaks 1998

              Hundred of times this character has been quoted or broadcasted by the mass media TV channels, but few times we have seen or listened more than a few seconds or minutes of his speaks. Here we present an unedited document from Al Jazeera. Only a very short fragments are removed, the ones who are of very difficult understanding out of its local context.

              Sift

              Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

              Sift is an intimate glimpse into the thoughts of fifteen young Arab women as they sort through the shifting and often contradictory expectations accompanying the changes in the rapidly developing Arabian Gulf city of Doha, Qatar. As the first generation of graduates of Education City, a 2,500-acre campus in Doha which hosts branch campuses of some of the world\\\\'s leading universities, as well as many other educational and research institutions, the young women represent part of the very change they now contend with. The film juxtaposes their voices as they describe their experiences and reflections upon entering the professional environment with still and moving images of the desert, sea, and emerging urbanity of Doha. The relationship of sound to image establishes a gestalt of dualities that is characteristic of the current environmental, social, and economic transformation: modern - traditional, western - eastern; written - oral. Extensive video and audio editing captures Qatar's rapid development process - which removes the past and inserts the future on a daily basis – from a point of view somewhere between the viewer and subject. While audio interviews transition between individual, harmonious expressions and multiple, dissonant voices, video footage shows the new and remarkable alongside the old and taken-for-granted, revealing a time which is either past or future, but not present.

              The Road to September Eleven
              ES ES-OVNI CTX-S009-SS002-0015 · Item · 2001
              Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

              Al Jazeera attempts to give a different view of those allegedly involved in the September 11 attacks, a less distant view that includes family, friends, context. Basically, it tries to provide much more information about those allegedly responsible. As the documentary progresses, a question gradually arises: was "Tanzim Al Qaeda" the cutting edge of a sword that is wielded by another, larger force?.
