Video footage questioning who is the terrorist and why. Reflection on the daily conflict in the occupied territories accompanied by Rap music produced by youth under occupation and inspired by the Intifada.

Cold War cartoon aimed at American workers with the objective of convincing them of their good fortune. 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.

Join Terence McKenna, Rupert Sheldrake, and Ralph Abraham as they trialogue on the relationship between chaos, creativity and the imagination. "The flutter of the the moth's wing can trigger the hurricane. This is not a poetic statement. This is the fact of the matter within this kind of description of nature. In other words, very small changes create cascades into where whole states shift and are perturbed." - Terence McKenna

In November, 2003, trade ministers from 34 countries met in Miami, Florida, to negotiate the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). The FTAA threatens to devastate workers, the environment, and public services like health care, education, and water, and to destroy indigenous rights and cultural diversity across North, Central, and South America. Against Capital's model of paramilitary oppression, information warfare, and corporate rule, we offered models of grassroots resistance, creative action and solidarity.

An attempt to reach Joan of Arc in her final moments as she beholds the beatific vision. To reach her, however, some anachronisms and a few propositions about psychology, mysticism, and eroticism were necessary. I consider myself a graduate of Catholicism and I believe the visual and intellectual aspects of my religious education caused me to cultivate a certain way of reading images; it also gave me a feel for the oxymoronic aspects of that phrase "reading images." The title "Mirror" was suggested by Hildegard von Bingen's "O felix anima," which is used as part of the soundtrack. The lyrics to the song appear in my own translation near the end of the piece. While Joan-as Hildegard's joyous soul would be a reflection of Divine Intelligence, the mirror alluded to suggested to me the idea of historical mirroring and of course Lacan's mirror phase. English medieval mystic Walter Hilton wrote a treatise he called "The Scale (or Ladder) of Perfection." After Hilton, I might have called this "The Mirror of Perfection," but I thought better of it. I have dedicated the work to Joan (Jehanne) herself, to Ghen Dennis who, as a media artist and curator at Squeaky Wheel in Buffalo, had some responsibility for inducing me to make this work, and to Chris Ofili whose recent black Madonna has been greeted with so many racist screeds disguised as righteous indignation by politicians and media pundits.

Through the prism of an annual beauty pageant staged by the inmates of UF-91/9 prison camp near Novosibirsk (Siberia), Marina Yatskova builds a complex narrative of the lives of the first generation of women to come of age in Post-Soviet Russia. Prison warden Natalya Baulina recounts the origins of the pageant during the turbulent nineties, when they had no clothing or supplies and inmates were forced to make their own dresses out of plastic bags from the prison kitchen. The prize for the winner was parole for good behavior. In a subtle paradox, these women – blind victims of their age and of unfulfilled promises of economic well-being – have been able to turn their confinement around, at least in the emotional sense.
