New York Times Special Edition (2008, 16.2MB, 2:12 min)
Self-explanatory movie giving background & reaction

how often do you hear those two words together?)

More here.
Breathtaking & inspiring.

I know we featured the folks at Sporkworld only recently
but they just posted this and it’s wonderful
– & somewhat topical…
Watch it all – it’s deadly serious but Millie Niss
makes her points with the kind of comic timing
many would kill for.
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.

submersibledesign (2008, 6.6MB, 3:04 min.)
What happens when we think of our bodies as their own ecosystems?
Interview with Britta Riley and Rebecca Bray, artists and collaborators who also
own a company called submersible design.
From eyebeam.
Tough Enough
Lukas Blakk – Tough Enough (2006, 11.4MB, 3:41)
Lovely, poignant film from Lukas Blakk,
who always says such honest things,
even if she’s mostly too busy to post anymore.
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…
