              “Radical evasive maneuvers within a virtual reality flight simulator rarely help those who suffer from vertigo. A balanced sense of well-being is unlikely to result from repeated consultation of maps, radar, and similar technological prosthesis. If you suffer from persistent feelings of dislocation, loss of control, dizziness, and a fear of falling, please consult your physician.” --- Partially completed during a media arts residency at the Experimental Television Center in Owego, New York, this flicker-video rapidly intercuts scenes from two classic Hollywood films about men and their flying machines with original imagery shot at the Intrepid Air and Space Museum in New York City.

              “We're in a free fall into future. We don't know where we're going. Things are changing so fast. And always when you're going through a long tunnel, anxiety comes along. But all you have to do to transform your hell into a paradise is to turn your fall into a voluntary act. It's a very interesting shift of perspective... Joyfully participate in the sorrows of the world and everything changes.” Joseph Campbell takes us on a journey of transcendence and illumination, a trip through the mythological symbols and sagas left by our ancient forebears.

              Following Nigeria's independence in 1960, the British left the country but multinationals began to proliferate thought the land, specially after the discovery of the region's largest oil well. Agriculture, which had previously given the country a degree of economic equilibrium, was hurt by the agreement between Nigeria's new leaders and foreign investors, which resulted in the expansion of the oil fiends and the destruction of agricultural land. The documentary reflects this situation through the musician and political activist Fela Kuti and his son Fema Kuti. Music is depicted as the awakening of a conscience, as a celebration of life and African roots, and as an indictment of a government that acts as a franchise of western multinationals.

              Strange Weather proposes preconceived ideas about drugs and media image; if you think that the image represents a fiction he will not worry about how the filmmaker uses the so-called "victims", neither about their life. If on the contrary, think that the images are not fictitious, it will cause feelings and positioning. (...) helps us to continue reflecting on the "truth" of our images.
