Confessions of a Slacker

2007 • 17 min • Canada
Twenty-five, drunk, two-timed, worn out, and dumped, Jack is having a mid life crisis of sorts. Working at a gas station by day, and trying to be a writer by night, Jack has always, at best, had a tentative grip on sobriety. But when his writers block won't diminish, and his supposed soul-mate informs him she's leaving him for his best friend, Jack finds an all new way of hitting rock bottom. After some severe misadventures due to binge drinking, Jack is forced to face his demons and give himself a good hard look. But admitting you have a problem and doing something about it are two very different things.

The World in Denmark

The World in Denmark

2007 • 40 min • Denmark
This is Denmark. This is Denmark’s most sold car. This house’s worth has doubled over the last 3 years. A measuring tape and some hedges. So begins Max Kestner’s story on Denmark. With an even-keeled narrative, this film takes us on a kaleidoscope tour around Denmark— from an editorial meeting at a magazine, to dictation in an Elementary school; from singing in a kindergarten, to a family planning their vacation; from a meeting with Pia Kjærsgaard, to a real estate agent in front of a newly sold house and a Danish landscape seen from above. These everyday situations tell universal stories about us. These are contemporary stories. This is Denmark’s world. With speed we shift through each story from up close to far away. This film is a mix of studio recordings with Denmark as its setting. This story is linear with a system of coordinates and a range of colors on repeat. Pseudo-scientific scenes are instruments that make it possible to isolate and compare objects and people.

Women 50 Minutes

2007 • 54 min • China
A representation of queer and feminist imagery that was mainly shot in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, remote and developing areas in southwest China, and metropolitan cities like Beijing from 2000 to 2004 to document the social changes in contemporary China. The director sympathetically and erotically represents a variety of women, including women as laborers, women as prayers, women in the ground, women in marriage, and women who lie on the funeral pyre with their dead husbands. Her camera juxtaposes the mountains and rivers in old times, the commercialized handicrafts as exposition, the capital exploitation of the elders’ living space, and the erotic freedom of the young people in a changing city.
