2000 • 24 min • United States of America
Tina Krause, who’s a teacher or something, leads Misty Mundae and Ruby LaRocca into their new flat, which looks like a house outside and like a basement inside. She gives them very strict rules : no smoking of any kind, no homosexual activity, well, everything that any good teacher would ask of her students in real life. Of course, as soon as she leaves, Misty and Ruby smoke a joint then proceed to make out on the bed. But, you see, Tina just pretended she left. So, after watching them for a while, she bursts on the scene and, in order to teach them the errors of their ways, forces them to disrobe then to take a bath and make out some more while she watches again.

Chain Reaction

Chain Reaction

2000 • 5 min • China
Chain Reaction is a kind of independent thinking itself. Since everyone has his or her own experience and values, I call the world of Chain Reaction “a view of schizophrenia”. Most of the images of the video surpass, as well as imitate daily life experience absurdly. The film is to analyze and oppose evil by the way of using the power of evil inside human nature. Chain Reaction is an allegory of evil but without the function of salvation like the other allegories.

Frank Gehry: An Architecture of Joy

Frank Gehry: An Architecture of Joy

2000 • 57 min
"Frank Gehry: An Architecture of Joy" illustrates the unique intertwining of art and architecture throughout Gehry's spectacularly eclectic career. In this portrait, Gehry explores his work of the 1990's including The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the Frederick R. Weisman Museum in Minneapolis, as well as his first European commission, the EMR Communication and Technology Center in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany. Seeing himself as an artist first, Gehry discusses his early relationships in the art world and how sculpture, painting and small scale work has influenced his architectural style. Like Rauschenberg, Johns, and Warhol, he has introduced "bad taste" into his concepts, while keeping himself outside of the contemporary dialogue between modernism and post-modernism. He has translated the vocabulary of contemporary art into an architectural language of his own, disobeying the rules of his profession and questioning its historic conventions.
Roma - un ritratto improvvisario

Roma - un ritratto improvvisario

2000 • 58 min • Italy, United States of America
ROMA is a hastily drawn together documentary/essay on Rome, drawn from a large amount of material collected over two or three years, and put together in haste for an Italian television commission. The material had all been done for myself, but this particular collection of material was drawn together under a deadline and time limitation set by others. As such I feel it is only partly my own expression, done under the gun for other interests, and to make some needed money. As such this work is compromised - while clearly my own in vision, it is not what I would really do with the material, to which I hope sometime to return. But in the meantime it provides a glimpse of Rome - its deep history, its opulent arts, and its sprawling contemporary urban reality.
Firestation

Firestation

2000 • 28 min
This film documents the transformation of a derelict fire station into studio and living spaces for artists. The opening of the restored building is celebrated in performances and installations by its new occupants. In common with Raban’s films that reflect upon different aspects of the changing face of London’s East End, this tightly structured film-poem confronts the present with the past: the building’s war-time role is recalled in archival images, and by women who served in it as Auxiliary Fire Service officers.

Moh-Roh-Ushi Hot Springs

2000 • 3 min
A nonsense piece. It starts with the fact that there are two butters in the fridge at home, one for the top and one for the bottom, and then for some reason it reminds me of the Moh-Roh-Ushi hot springs.

American Holocaust: When It’s All Over I’ll Still Be Indian

2000 • 30 min
The powerful and hard-hitting documentary, American Holocaust, is quite possibly the only film that reveals the link between the Nazi holocaust, which claimed at least 6 million Jews, and the American Holocaust which claimed, according to conservative estimates, 19 million Indigenous People.
The Perfumed Garden

The Perfumed Garden

2000 • 52 min
THE PERFUMED GARDEN is an exploration of the myths and realities of sensuality and sexuality in Arab society, a world of taboos and of erotic literature. Through interviews with men and women of all ages, classes, and sexual orientation, the film lifts a corner of the veil that usually shrouds discussion of this subject in the Arab world. Made by an Algerian-French woman director, the film begins by looking at the record of a more permissive history, and ends with the experiences of contemporary lovers from mixed backgrounds. It examines the personal issues raised by the desire for pleasure, amidst societal pressures for chastity and virginity. The film discusses pre-marital sex, courtship and marriage, familial pressures, private vs. public spaces, social taboos (and the desire to break them), and issues of language.
