Going back to the time of the "greatest generation" we can see via cartoons, the unvarnished attitudes of a 
population at war.

Included in the program will be Popeye in You're a Sap Mr. Jap;  Tokio Jokio, often cited as the most racist cartoon ever produced; Herr Meets Hare starring Bugs Bunny; and other cartoons whose titles cannot be revealed in fear that the multi-national corporations who own and suppress them will themselves wage war against the Clinton Street Theater. 

US, 2000, Gerard Ungerman and Audrey Brohy, DVD, 
80 minutes

The result of a two-year investigation, this film provides answers to many questions, based on documents never before seen in public, and backed by interviews with prominent military and government personalities.

A large selection of archival footage, an original soundtrack scored by acclaimed composer Fritz Heede and the narration by actor John Hurt all contribute to making HIDDEN WARS a fast-paced, informative documentary, a must-see in light of the latest Iraqi crisis.

Japan, 2002, Takashi Miike, 35mm, 88 minutes, subtitled

In an extremely skuzzy BLADE RUNNER-like Yokohama of the not too distant future, humans co-habit the earth with androids and are forced to kowtow to swishy, tie-dye-clad Herr Kommandant Woo, who has passed a law mandating the use of birth control. Committed baby-makers form roving bands of thugs and attempt to overthrow the government.  If you think there’s a deeper message here, I would advise you to stop thinking so much and simply enjoy the sex, shock, silliness and mayhem for what it is.

Sweden, 2000, 
Roy Andersson, 35mm, 
98 minutes, subtitled

Brilliant, disturbing, surreal, savage, hilarious, Roy Andersson’s SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR is like a Fellini film in slow motion, or a David Lynch film drained of color, or an abstract Monty Python comedy.

This goofy, endearing yarn stars AMERICAN MOVIE’s Mark Borchardt as devious filmmaker wannabe Dude Schmitz, who cons a gay Britney Spears impersonator (the delightful Angel Benton) into believing he can introduce her to the Pepsi Princess.

China, 2002, Jia Zhang-Ke, 35mm, 113 minutes, subtitled

In the provincial Chinese city of Datong, Bin Bin and Xiao Ji, nineteen and jobless, spend a lot of time doing nothing but hanging out, shooting pool, and watching American movies. Around them are signs of China's growing prosperity: new highways, the Beijing Olympics, a TV in every house—but reality paints a bleaker picture.

US, 2001, Richard Kelley, 35mm, 115 minutes

Hailed by many critics as one of the most original and daring films in decades, Richard Kelley’s tale of a suburban teenager haunted by visions of a great big bunny rabbit owes more to BLUE VELVET than HARVEY.

A New Cinema for a New Country 30min Coverage of the uprising of the 19-20th December 2001 by ADOC, the Association of Documentary Makers of Argentina, and cut by Myriam Angueira and Fernando of Ojo Obrero. Hinge of History 20 min Made by Venteveo Video. also coverage of the 19th and 20th but more arty, focused on cool graffiti and mad shots of cops on horses, with a great soundtrack. This is a powerful film from the new resistance. Beware the Bourgeois Bloc 14min Made by Postworldindustries, a collection of folks from the Infernal Noise Brigade and Reclaim the Streets London. This funny short film contains great footage of soccer moms and businessmen attacking banks, ATMs and armored cars in the financial district of Buenos Aires.

Eye of the Storm 15min Stylish documentary essay about the need for really independent news media. This documentary is an ode to Journalistic independence, to decentralized networks and their relationship to the alternative media. In particular, it examines the functioning of the Independent Media Center network and its special place in today's political climate in Argentina.
