              Xperimental Eros
              ES ES-OVNI CTX-S013-SS007-0110 · Item · 2007
              Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

              Xperimental Eros invokes a shimmering fantasia of celluloid sensuality for the pleasure of our largest sex organ - the brain. Using exotic tropes and erotic footage from the world's oldest genre, this program of ardent auteurs spin grindhouse dross into arthouse gold with perverse panache. Be it tales of sexual obsession, rejected letters to Penthouse Forum, or the Mr. Nude Trucker Contest of 1976, no subject is taboo... nor above deconstruction.

              What I'm Looking For

              Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

              Una dona es proposa fotografiar moments d'intimitat. En un lloc de cites d'Internet, escriu: 'Estic buscant persones a les quals els agradaria ser fotografiades en públic i revelar alguna cosa de si mateixes ..." What I'm Looking For documenta aquesta aventura; les connexions formades en aquesta intersecció entre l'espai públic virtual i el real. El vídeo és una reflexió sobre la naturalesa de la fotografia i la persistència de la visió. Una breu història de desig i control.

              Unruly Fan, Unruly Star
              ES ES-OVNI CTX-S005-SS005-0008 · Item · 1996
              Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

              Millner casts herself as a fan whose life has an uncanny similarity to that of Roseanne Barr's televised replica. When Millner visits the set of Roseanne, the "excess" of fan and star meets in a comic finale that threatens life as we know it.

              Two Ford Freedom
              ES ES-OVNI RSC-3003 · Item · 1956
              Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

              Lonely housewife in 1950's suburbia needs the freedom of a low priced Ford to avoid being a prisoner in her own home.

              Time Like Zeros
              ES ES-OVNI CTX-S014-SS001-0066 · Item · 2010
              Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

              The title Time Like Zeros is taken from a comment by one of eight female prisoners who narrate the film, as she contemplates the life sentence stretching ahead of her. It is echoed visually in the camera movement that encircles the prison, and in the circles of razor wire that whiz by as the scene moves from the exterior fence to the darkest cells of the prison. A sense of community and compassion can be sensed in the women's voices, yet contrasts with the footage shot by guards as they chain down a woman in the segregation unit.

              The Sari Soldiers
              ES ES-OVNI CTX-S013-SS007-0064 · Item · 2008
              Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

              Filmed over three years during the most historic and pivotal time in Nepal's modern history, The Sari Soldiers is an extraordinary story of six women's courageous efforts to shape Nepal's future in the midst of an escalating civil war against Maoist insurgents, and the King's crackdown on civil liberties. The film intimately delves into the extraordinary journey of these women on all sides of the conflict, through the democratic revolution that reshapes the country's future.

              The Relaxed Wife
              ES ES-OVNI RSC-3002 · Item · 1957
              Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

              Remarkable, surreal industrial film promoting "Atarax," a tranquilizer, and asserting how "ataraxic medicines" can help us all to achieve the relaxed state we long for.
