The Drywall Incident

1995 • 30 min

"A collage of B-movie science fiction, surrealism, film noir and cinema verité, the 1995 tragicomic film purported to serve as a promotional piece for Drywall and their record release 'Work The Dumb Oracle'. It instead devolved into a stream-of-consciousness kidnapping and murder story involving extraterrestrials, a ventriloquist’s dummy (the band’s conniving manager Jackie), a confused and emotional private eye and a band quickly losing patience over the whole fiasco." - Carlos Grasso

A3: Apathy, Aids and Antarctica

1995 • 10 min • Slovenia

A story of fragility, sexuality, monstrosities and geographical confusions. Everything, everywhere is the slogan of the nineties, a confusion of bodies, concepts and strategies, a kind of out of joint situation for the subject. And we find ourselves in all the media, in all the bodies in all the possible spaces at ones, but this deadly dance is not innocent. The video consists of the main part in which wives of the so-called totalitarian leaders as of the Rumanian dictator Cauceuscu (Elena) and of the former Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic (Mirjana Milosevic) are forced to dance. Focused on the portrait of Mirjana Milosevic (The story of Mirjana M.) a kitsch melodramatic Balkan saga of power, drama, pop-folk elements and evil/demons is constructed. The apathy of feelings is caught in the dramatic tango that is slowed down for the camera eye.
