Man with a Movie Camera (Blonde; He Appears to Be Young)

1982 • 5 min

"A didactic treatment of the Reagan assassination event /coverage as spectacle. Nearly anyone in the world who turned on a television that day, or with regularity in the following six months, has had the images of the event burnt into his or her consciousness at the level of myth. Like language itself, these images have entered consciousness at a depth and with such universality that they seem for the present to be inaccessible to analysis. These are 'images that understand us.' The film is an attempt to display something of the institutional quality of the event/experience as it exists in us: as the control of images and the images of control. An anti-Report ." - K.S.

1982 • 56 min • United States of America

The film begins with the exhumation of four American women tortured, raped, and murdered by the right-wing government of El Salvador on December 2, 1980. The women — Dorothy Kazel, an Ursuline; Ita Ford and Maura Clarke, Maryknoll mission sisters; and Jean Donovan, a young laywoman from Cleveland — were providing food, shelter, medical care and burial to the poor. They were targeted for assassination by a death squad within the U.S.-supported Salvadoran military as part of a policy of suppressing the poor and “liberation theology.” The award-winning documentary focuses primarily on the life of Jean Donovan through archival news footage, interviews, home movies, and diary readings.

Старуха, дверь закрой!

Entrée de secours

1982 • 18 min • France

You'll see Johnny Rotten or rather his ghost Johnny Lyndon insulting human herd with "this is religion, your religion". The last images of a film which lets you no escape, no more escape than the punkette who exhibits her genitals in a toilet hallway, no more escape than all these rockstars who belch to fill the void. On the music aspect, there is a combinatorial saturation of sounds that looks like a requiem. The images : uninterrupted movement un a daily apocalyptic space. This is about savagery, frantic intoxication, suicidal energy.
