Poster for A Tram Runs Through the City

1973 · ★ 0.0 (0)

The film observes and records the people travelling, adding to this very simple but effective visual set a pure (and magic) pot pourri of designed and recorded voices and sounds. Hereby not only the people become human beings alive, but also the city awakens.

The film includes sections which explore the illusion of movement within the frame, the movement created by the filming and projection equipment, of movement suggested by camera manipulation (e.g. zoom, re-focus, etc.). Structural Studies exemplified the Hein’s central project of elaborating the central process of the cinema, situating those processes equally in terms of artistic production and mechanical reproduction.

Poster for Ngupelngamarrunu, Night Time Go

2017 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Night Time Go is an exploration of the Australian settler state’s attempt to remove Indigenous people from their lands during the Second World War, and the refusal of the Karrabing ancestors to be detained. The film begins by hewing closely to the actual historical details of a group that escaped from an internment camp in 1943, but slowly turns to an alternative history in which the group inspires a general Indigenous insurrection that drives out settlers from the Top End of Australia.

Using her 2004 series of eighty-two drawings, Circus Lives from Hell, as an unconventional “script,” feminist artist Ellen Cantor (1961–2013) worked on her most ambitious project, Pinochet Porn, for the last five years of her life. Interweaving fragments of the lives of five people variously affected by Pinochet’s dictatorship in Chile, the film is both an experimental epic and a “soap opera,” as it explores the tragic and comical relationship between power and sexuality

Poster for Sacred Lies, Civil Truths

1993 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Amid a galloping onslaught of misinformation and violence, lesbians and gay men in the U.S. are struggling harder than ever to claim their civil and human rights. While the insurgent Religious Right mobilizes to implement anti-gay measures state by state, the lesbian and gay community is activating to turn the tide of discrimination and keep its eyes on federal gay rights at the same time. The film is a document of the religious right's blatant and hateful attacks against the lesbian and gay community and it reveals the real agenda of the Christian Right to gain power and impose a "Biblical rule".'
