Shakuntala DuBois

2012 • 30 min • United States of America

The Broke People's Baroque Peoples' Theater engages questions of economic inequity, artistic patronage, and a culture of excess (or excess of culture). It is: obsessed with classical allusion, doomed to camp, adorned in costume, engaged in masquerade and surrounded by sculpture. With a queer attitude toward cheap materials, the Broke People's Baroque People's Theater decorates itself in a hyper-feminine aestheticism to undermine class(y) distinctions of taste. A wealth of poverty, the chintzy is rich.

Biekká Fabmu

2012 • 52 min

A documentary of the 20th anniversary of the indigenous RidduRiddu festival, which is a annual festival that takes place in northern Norway. Indigenous people from all over the world travel to this remote place to partake in the festival. Through the Norwegian minister of culture and the former festival leaders, the documentary explores the importance of the festival and what it stands for, which is tolerance, cultural diversity and acceptance. During the filming of the documentary, tragedy strikes as terrorist Anders Behring Breivik kills 77 people in Oslo. One of the victims is the daughter of one of the former leaders. An act against multiculturalism which the RidduRiddu festival stands for. Are festivals such as this more important after the massacre?

Cash Crop

2012 • 12 min

A simple score: when the loop is one frame long, it plays only once; when it is two frames long, it plays twice; three frames, three times; and so on. Space compresses but time stretches under this operation and instead of going nowhere, the repetition suggests infinity. As Dziga Vertov once said, there is time inside of time. Merle Haggard was in the audience when Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins played this song, Folsom Prison Blues, at San Quentin. Carl Perkins' locomotive guitar solo gets caught up in the gears of this video and stretches like a penny on a rail under the weight of a passing train.

Wallpaper

2012 • 9 min

"Wallpaper uses imagery from a product design/lifestyle magazine in a video which breaks a cyclical process of consumption into component parts. Seeing, wanting, getting, using, and discarding. In this case, the pages are taken and then the chewed/consumed result is used to fill an empty corner, eventually creating a new structure." - Artist's statement
