BARS + TONE Video calibration color bars and a test tone are transfigured into an object of natural beauty.” –Les Stuck PAUL AND THE BADGER – EPISODE 2 The Badger and the Squirrel relay the world through a lens. Equal parts moral instruction and narrative play, mediated through the forced fit of an experimental filmmaker as children's entertainer. Paul Tarrago’s humorous films combine experimental filmmaking with a comedic sensibility. BABA BOOM BOOM "This is my Dad and me hanging out in my living room playing traditional Iraqi music. Shot in Baghdad and Chicago." – Usama Alshaibi CELEBRATION – NEW SKIN “Psychedelic multi-layered video. Heavily influenced by 60's, 70's analog music videos I grew up watching. Shot, cut and manipulated by myself in 2006.” - Bump I AM DANCIN WHERE YOU CAN SEE ME Dancin to what we want IV.6 “An animated music video where each instrument and each note is animated so that there is a one-to-one mapping between the audio and video.” –Mike Winkelman CASUALTIES OF WAR “Michael Xavier Steinberg could have lived the life of a rock star, yet his military training and the impact of years spent in war would ultimately get the best of him: committing murder and serving 21 years in prison.” - Alejandro Torres WE’RE GOING TO THE ZOO The interaction of a young woman and her 10-year-old brother with an endearingly goofy hitchhiker (played by Safdie) as the three drive to the zoo. I’M KEITH HERNANDEZ “Part baseball documentary, part anti-drug film, part sociopolitical satire, I’m Keith Hernandez utilizes a version of Hernandez life as a vehicle to discuss how male identity is shaped by television, film, sports, advertising, and pornography. As part of this discourse, the physical attribute of the mustache as a symbol of male virility is explored. Other topics include the Iran-Contra Affair and the resulting ;Crack Explosion,’ celebrity-obsessed culture, and the subtleties of children’s television programming”. –Robert Perri
