Just a year after Blueprint’s Waiting For The World, Dan Magee debuted First Broadcast. Filmed over 12 months and premiered in December 2001, this wasn’t another Blueprint video, but rather a celebration of British skateboarding with skaters from a few different teams including Unabomber, Organic and of course Blueprint. First Broadcast stars Vaughan Baker, Franklin Stephens, Colin Kennedy, John Rattray, Paul Shier, Nick Jensen, Ali Cairns, a young Danny Brady, Toby Shuall, Mark Baines, Scott Palmer and more. Filmed by Magee and Adam Mondon this is without question a British classic.

The Rescue is a 2001 parody brickfilm by Jason Allemann and Deane VanLuven. It follows the story of Solo Brick Jones as he attempts to steal the treasured head of C-3LegO. It is a humorous retelling of the iconic opening scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark and uses the actual audio from the film. The Rescue won the Conference Attendee Winner award at BricksWest 2002's Animation Competition. Though popular at the time, it received its widest spread popularity later via an unauthorized reupload on YouTube in 2006 under the title "lego indiana jones".

Static Discharge is composed of abstractions created from signal interference. The picture frame is continuously disrupted, as textured lines of feedback distort any form of representation. The flickering movement appears as if fed by an electric current with a faulty conductor - the electronic waves seem to split and repeat themselves without fully transmitting. This is a composition of video noise that creates pulsating tension, a s electricity grinds with flesh, revealing the harsh beauty inherent in a mechanical medium.

The terrific debut work, never-before-seen stunts and special effects! A zombie virus-infested e-mail provokes a rapidly spreading epidemic of zombification and innovative homicides.

The metal band Mudvayne films the music video for their song "Dig."

a CGI Human smokes a Cigarette.

A remarkable homage to and parody of the “Camelot” song and dance from Monty Python’s Holy Grail motion picture. Essentially, the scene is totally redone with LEGO figures and blocks, but is true to the movie, which is why it is so hilarious.

"Frauenmuskel is a jarring and sexually explicit film. Yet, the film holds an important dual sense of mystery that haunts long and after the film is over. Filmed during the Hermann Nitsch action of 1998, the film covers a stroll through the countryside as well as nightly impressions of the stars and clouds above Hermann Nitsch, himself" -Christopher May

A typical weekend out of "the dogs." The protagonists are a trio of teenagers who do what all 17 or 18 year old boys do: they ask dad for the car and go to some burger shop. In the middle, the film paints the environment: family relationships, love relationships, friendships. Until a surprising ending that changes the realistic code for the fantastic code.

An experimental sci-fi documentary focusing on the question of what will remain visible and what will be left to tell if humans vanish from the world, from the image. Landscapes and architecture become mummified relics of a former human presence.

Les noces - one of Stravinsky's last works on Russian themes (first performed in 1923 with choreography by Bronislava Nijinskaya). Stravinsky's "The Wedding" is a vivid example of the "rhythmic" music characteristic of the work of the composers of the 1920s and 1930s. Rhythm in it is not only the primary organizing principle, but also the most important factor of musical language. It is characteristic that the composer here does not need either strings or wind instruments: the score of the Wedding, in addition to the voices, consists of percussion, which requires six performers at once, as well as four pianos, which are used here as a special kind of percussion.

It showcases 12 animals in the neighborhood in 4 habitats.

In Kwakwaka’wakw society in British Columbia, masks form part of the symbolic heritage of nobles and chiefs. The mask shown here, a late 19th-century transformation mask carved from cedar and taken from the Musée de l’Homme, expresses duality: closed, it is a crow; open, a human face with a hooked nose. These ancestral objects, manifestations of spirits, accompany myths, dances, and costumes, appearing in ceremonies and potlatches, gatherings where privileges are transmitted. Long suppressed, Amerindian culture was rediscovered by ethnologists E. Curtis and F. Boas, and later by surrealists and Claude Lévi-Strauss in exile in New York during the 1940s. Bill Holm, an expert in Indigenous art, analyses the mask’s form. A sculptor evokes the recurring egg shape, basis of all creation, while a dancer recounts the legend of the crow that brought the tlasala, the dance of peace.

Giant apples appear in a city, and when people eat them, new apples start to grow from their heads.

This hand-painted work presents the semblance of a dark brown wall, ripped open and pocked with yellowed visions of rooms and other interiors, gradually (and always occasionally) intersperced with multiply colored holes, revealing exteriors beyond the shifting facades of the "wall". The openings into and through the wall become larger, and then become smaller again (so small as to seem semblances of stars at times). Finally the enlargements take over the scene and eventually demolish all sense of "wall". This film is very inspired by the paintings of Gunther Forg, and with respect to St. John of the Cross, is a hand painted envisionment of holy depression.

In the film Acropolis (2001/2004), she puts forth a subversive, feminist view of the famous monument. She follows a procedure that is the reverse of observation, putting together existing Super 8 footage with porn and archival material, and by identifying the Parthenon with the female body, she negotiates anew our received notions about Greekness and femininity.
