Love Like Aliens

Love Like Aliens

2011 • 6 min
In a future not too far from now, Humanity has advanced to a point where the line between Homo sapiens and Androids have blurred completely. This has occurred so that the species could survive. Technology has allowed humans to travel into deep space to colonize other planets and galaxies deep in the universe because Earth has become uninhabitable. One of the many unfortunate results of this robotic Darwinism is that human behavior and consciousness has also changed over the years. Much of what makes one human -- love, family, intimacy etc., have all become things of the past. Almost legend.

The Future Is Bright

The Future Is Bright

2011 • 3 min
The lyrics are from the musical "Finian's Rainbow," the carpets of color from Jodie Mack's inspired imagination. As with forebears like Len Lye and Oskar Fischinger, Mack's frame-by-frame animation translates line, texture and rhythm into pure kinetic energy. - Max Goldberg
Other Faces

Other Faces

2011 • 10 min
Other Faces returns to the figure of Soho Eckstein, the industrialist and developer who is the key protagonist of the Drawings for Projection series. In this cycle of nine films created from 1989 through 2003, Kentridge addresses the doubling and contrary sides of the self, personified in the entrepreneur/capitalist Soho and his foil, the poet/ lover Felix. In this most recent work, pin-striped Soho Eckstein moves through a series of collisions of circumstances and recollection. In the film, the city of Johannesburg – inconstant, desperate, desiring, impenetrable – appears not so much as context as it does subject, in images of streets, facades, landscapes, and people. Familiar and recent attributes of the city appear, with one image not just suggesting another image but indicating a connection to displaced emotions and displaced histories. There are references to the street corner civil wars of daily life, and to the xenophobic violence of the last few years.

Bin Laden Shoot to Kill

2011 • 60 min • United Kingdom
The inside story of the hunt for Bin Laden. When I started watching this I didn't expect to learn anything I hadn't already read about and so went into it with low expectations. But from the moment Barak Obama turned up talking about what he was seeing and having to make decisions on, it was obvious this was going to be far more revealing than expected.
