- DirectorJoshua OppenheimerThey say that when the Earth is destroyed beyond habitation, the only survivors will be the cockroaches. Filmmaker Joshua Oppenheimer gives the indomitable insects the floor in this perversely comic commentary on affluence and self-destruction. Leashed with thin ribbons, a small intrusion of cockroaches scramble over magazine spreads of the good life while a schizophrenic pest voice-over mutters like an asylum inmate recalling the good old days, when food was plentiful and the roach traps were the enemy. It is consumption and consumerism as empty activity and madness, played-out as a natural history documentary in the guise of an invasion picture, all set to the theme song from LOVE STORY. - Sean Axmaker
- DirectorChristine CynnJoshua OppenheimerFor eighty cents an hour, prisoners in a New Mexico prison answer telephones for the state tourism hotline. Co-directed by Christine Cynn.
- DirectorJoshua OppenheimerJoshua Oppenheimer reimagines a sixty-second stock market update as maniacal monologue by a mumbling madman giving a bizarre play-by-play of floor traders and urban pedestrians as the trading day comes to an end. Created while in the midst of production on the feature-length GLOBALIZATION TAPES, this brief film is Oppenheimer's most concentrated piece of socio-political commentary: a quick, colorful political cartoon of capitalism plucked out-of-context and set to a soundtrack that is both comic and somewhat sinister. The upbeat musical accompaniment only enhances the empty celebration of meaningless activity. - Sean Axmaker
- DirectorJoshua OppenheimerPrior to releasing the Academy Award -nominated documentary 'The Act of Killing', American film-maker Joshua Oppenheimer spent over a decade in Indonesia interviewing members of the death squads that murdered hundreds of thousands of people in the anti-communist purges of 1965 and 1966. 'Muzak: A Tool of Management' is an early attempt to confront that legacy. Pak Sinaga, a death squad leader during the massacres, displays the same pride in his work (killing communists as if they were livestock) that we see in 'The Act of Killing'. But for this short film, Oppenheimer creates a jarring contrast between the violence described in the subtitles and the innocuous, blandly upbeat muzak sound-track. This experimental film considers the dehumanization of labor, whether it is an act of killing or an act of commerce.
- DirectorJoshua OppenheimerJoshua Oppenheimer sets images of life in a retirement community in Arizona (as seen through television commercials) to a talk radio interview with a female convict extolling the benefits of her time on Sherriff Joe Arpaio's chain gang. It is two different kinds of sale jobs working at cross-purposes. Oppenheimer takes the luster off the idealistic advertising images through video distortion and electronic interference and cuts-up both the video and audio tracks until the weird poetry of the chain gang prisoner's lessons in life and death gives the commercial presentation a creepy disconnection from any kind of living ideal. It follows A BRIEF HISTORY OF PARADISE AS TOLD BY THE COCKROACHES and MARKET UPDATE as another sharp jab at consumerism as an illusory promise. - Sean Axmaker
- DirectorTerry GilliamStarsSydney ArnoldGuy BertrandAndrew BicknellA group of down-and-out accountants mutiny against their bosses and sail their office building onto the high seas in search of a pirate's life.
- StarsPete SmithThe profession of capturing animals in action on celluloid is both an art and science. Some of the most exciting footage can be obtained in different ways. Examples are: a large herd, such as of reindeer, moving as one; slow motion footage of fast moving animals, such as racing greyhounds, especially when they do something unexpected; mothers and their newborn offspring doing what comes naturally; animals placed among special props; animals placed in human situations; combining the exciting and dangerous, such as the running of the bulls in Pamplona and the bullfights to follow; placing animals that are not natural companions together; and placing animals in the situation of a challenge, such as a bunch of bananas just out of reach of a hungry monkey. Many of these elements are combined into the final sequence of a steeplechase race.
