Protest Films
Alex Pearl – Protest Film Nottingham (2006, 7.6MB, 1:36)
Protest films…usually films about people protesting
something unjust in the world.
Or, perhaps you meant Protest Films, the conceptual
robot-banner-waving collection of videos wherein
little machines “protest,” more generally speaking.
This is the first from the long-running,
Arts Council-supported series from artist
and renaissance man Alex Pearl.
If you’d like to participate or create your own
Clockwork Protest, visit the blog and email Alex
for a protest kit.

From eyebeam.
The Blackest Spot by Jody Zellen
Blackest Spot (2008, 18MB, 2:17 min.)
A new installation by Jody Zellen at LA’s Fringe gallery.
The Blackest Spot is an interactive installation that uses Elias Canetti’s
seminal text “Crowds and Power” as its point of departure. Viewers step
on floor mounted triggers to change images and sounds within the space.
Giles Perkins – Saturdays only
Saturdays Only (2008, 50MB, 1:18 min)
We’re quite keen here at DVblog on Giles Perkins & his quirky &
beautiful Super8 work.
He also maintains the excellent all-things-Super8 site onsuper8.org.
You might remember his beach huts piece
or his Burnley Panopticon mini-documentary.
Here he turns his poetic but clear eye to “Britain’s oddest train
– the once a week Stockport to Stalybridge.”
A great way to kick off our new season…
Monochrom & the Bolshevik Glove Puppets
Kiki and Bubu and the Good Plan (2008, 74MB, 7:24 min)
Kiki and Bubu and the Shift (2008, 39MB, 4:11 min)
Well, almost.
Marred only by some fashionable end-of-the-working-class-in-the-West
(who collects your trash, checks out your groceries, teaches your kids?)
nonsense, this is on the whole the finest piece of glove puppet based
agit-prop I’ve ever seen & very funny to boot.
In particular the best of these pieces,Kiki and Bubu and the Good Plan,
is an absolutely clear & devastating reply to the marketeers…
See ’em all…
Two from Pash
Ludwig Poos Schwabe (2007, 36MB, 1:20 min)
1st Ping-Pong Lesson With Lucha Lib (2008, 31.2MB, 4:18 min)
Even 18 years after the wall came down there’s still a quite palpable
residue of the great absurdist tradition that flourished under Stalinism in work
being made in the former Eastern bloc.
(Of course it goes back further, to
Leeds Vlog #3
<em>'Ce soir je vous propose'</em> -<br> transcendence from <em>Dan Canyon</em>
3 of 7(2002, 74.7MB, 4:00 min)
Two (from a series of seven) heartbreakingly beautiful, lump-in-the-throat-evocative
lyric poems about being young, disguised as music video/documentaries.
Dan Canyon is a natural filmmaker. He so is.
What more to say, except nice to see Blackheef pronounced correctly?
