Thursday, October 9 - 7:30 PM Alternative Screen Independent Film Showcase

Skizz Cyzyk's "Damn you Mr. Bush" (2002, 1:42 min.), a humorously shot protest song written in October 2002 as the U.S. headed towards war with Iraq. (http://internettrash.com/users/skizz/)

Following is Jacob Bricca's "Homeland" (2003, 5.5 min., USA) an examination of the mythology of the contemporary "good life" fed to us by corporate America through commercials. This provocative mix of images drawn from found footage sources is set to a hypnotic, moody score by the band Seaworthy. Bricca is the editor of the feature films LOST IN LA MANCHA and JIMMY SCOTT: IF YOU ONLY KNEW.

Following the short films is WE INTERUPT THIS EMPIRE (2003, 55 min., USA) which looks at San Francisco's activist network and their efforts to make a statement about their opposition to the War in Iraq by shutting down the city's financial district through human barricades, riding bicycles onto the freeway and other acts. Protest footage from the "eye of the storm" (including a choice political pie in the face shot enacted on a female newscaster), contrasts with corporate media coverage in this look at radical resistance and alternate views on the US's current imperialist drive. The filmmakers will appear for discussion following the screening. (www.whisperedmedia.org)

The program concludes with BECOME THE SKY (2002, 53 min., USA) A combination road movie, political expose and poetic meditation on planet earth. This beautiful, often abstractly lensed film crisscrosses Texas to look at the devastating effects of petrochemical, nuclear and electric industries on land, air and water. Filmmaker Laura Dunn examines the way that political and financial interests of powerful Texans Lyndon Johnson, Dick Cheney and the Bush family have shaped the economy of the world. The film maps an ecology of power spanning 4,000 miles across Texas and weaves a web of energy and politics in the context of war and capitalism. Laura Dunn is about to begin work on a documentary project with Terrence Malick. (www.twobirdsfilms.org)
