Mark Twain's America interweaves the life and times of Mark Twain with the lives of current day enthusiasts who revel in the inventions and way of life of the 19th century. Utilizing archival stereo-optic photos, powerful images from the past seemingly come alive in a larger-than-life presentation. Archival photos representative of Twain and what he saw and experienced in his time are juxtaposed against scenes of actual present day recreations of that era.

Donald Judd: Marfa Texas

1998 • 24 min
An artist and critic, there was a considerable duality to Donald Judd (1928-1994) - he was at once a man of intellectual rigor and a multi-disciplinary conceptualist who deftly moved towards a new minimalism.

According to filmmaker Stephanie Barber, "This is probably the most heartbreaking film I have made." The pacing is romantic and simple, haiku-esque pauses and inclusions, with the words contrasting this poetry with their factual, disinterested narration. And that narration is a simple statement of failure; one which lies not in any action but in the pre-thought to that action, the hope or faith one holds in oneself, one's knowledge or abilities.

Teams met for fun and relaxation at three points along the way where they climbed active volcano Villarica, rafted the whitewater on the world famous Rio Futaleufu and kayaked amongst turquoise icebergs at Torres del Paine. After three weeks the teams arrived in Ushuaia, southernmost city in the world, on the island of Tierra del Fuego
Titanic: The Captain of the Titanic

Titanic: The Captain of the Titanic

1998 • 55 min • United Kingdom
"The Titanic is still news nearly a century after the world’s finest and largest ship struck an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage in April, 1912. The events of that fateful voyage are told through dramatised contemporary accounts. These are enhanced by an extensive interview with survivor Eva Hart MBE, who was a girl of seven at the time. This is not only the story of a great tragedy, but also of Edward John Smith a potter’s son who rose from the backstreets of Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, to become the premier sea captain of his day. Don Smith shows us some of Captain Smith’s possessions, handed down through the family. It is also the story of how such a terrible disaster can be turned into something of national pride by the press of the day. Pride in a captain and crew who could uphold the great traditions of the sea captured in Captain Smith’s last call from the bridge of the doomed ship. Be British!."
