Crime Prevention: Hyenas

1992 • 1 min • United Kingdom

The ‘Hyena’ campaign was launched in 1992 – with the long-term objective of making car crime socially unacceptable. The campaign likens car criminals to scavenging hyenas, and encourages the public to collectively deter offenders. Offering simple advice, such as “remove valuables and ensure doors are locked”, the film suggests that opportunities for the car criminals will be reduced. The campaign proved successful in lowering this type of crime and has been coupled with nation-wide Police initiative ‘Operation Hyena’ targeting car criminals. However, there is more to be done as the Home Office states that vehicle crime still accounts for one-fifth of all crime recorded by the police.

Each song from the original EP is presented with live concert snippets and photoshoot scenes.

The foreign youths are greeted by the local elderly self-settlers, who by force of habit continue to sell mushrooms along the road. Covering their bodies in paint, the visitors head to the fourth reactor to enact an anti-nuclear performance.

水－辞海标准版

1992 • 10 min

Zhang hired a news anchor from China Central Television to read every entry and definition under the word “water” (水) from the Cihai encyclopedic dictionary, and recorded it on video. The lighting, background, microphone, and even the authoritative “national” face of the anchorwoman were exactly the same as those in CCTV’s extremely serious nightly News Broadcast program. The only thing changed was the content coming out of her mouth: instead of official news, she was reciting neutral, emotionless dictionary entries. The satirical subversion was obvious. The video produced a strong sense of absurdity: by applying a straight-faced, solemn presentation to utterly trivial content, the solemn authority of the broadcast is undermined.

Controversies about Symbolism

1992 • 21 min • Ukraine

Is the choice of symbols for the state of Ukraine accidental? How far back in history do their origins lie? The blue and yellow colors of the flag and the trident on the coat of arms have been known since the time of the Grand Dukes of Kyiv. The film takes us even further back, 7,000 years ago, to say with certainty that the symbols of Ukraine were passed down to descendants from their ancestors.
