Il mare ci ha chiamate

Il mare ci ha chiamate

1978 • 18 min
“Fight, politics, fantasy, madness, expression. I made this film, detached moments, connected in my psyche: poetry intervention in the Gaiola style, my love for the sea, for women, for the Nemesiache, for beauty. I dream in insomnia of a reality that deforms beauty... I dig, I penetrate with my eyes through prohibitions and disfigurements in my expropriated territory. I play with the sadness of a fragility determined by infinite mobile interests: spaces for me, spaces for others." L.M.

Let George Do It

Let George Do It

1978 • 10 min • United States of America
The film conversation centers around workplace safety and the concept of personal responsibility. Ron and Mary discuss Ron's recent vacation and then transition to a review of recent workplace accidents. These incidents include an electrician falling due to a missing safety cone, a worker getting a shock from faulty equipment, and a drill press operator injuring his finger due to an improperly secured backup bar. They identify a common issue: the "let George do it" syndrome, where employees assume someone else will handle safety checks. They emphasize the importance of personal responsibility in safety practices and propose using these cases in training programs to illustrate the need for vigilance and proactive safety measures. The conversation ends with a story from Ron about a past mistake, highlighting the critical lesson of not taking safety for granted and ensuring one's own and others' safety by not relying on others to always handle safety checks.

Who Shall Remain Nameless

Who Shall Remain Nameless

1978 • 14 min
This film juxtaposes extreme close-up film of the activity of ants in the tunnels of an ant farm with a narration by a middle-aged, middle-American male discussing the relation between race riots and the positions of the planets. The narration derives from found tapes I’d discovered in a thrift store that had been recorded by a man named Archie Olson, speaking to his daughter in Minnesota. In other scenes, texts from Joan of Arc and Eldridge Cleaver, patterns of feathers and seeds falling, Harry Partch percussion music, and imagery of multiplying bacteria supply a view of the American political-cultural landscape that continually shifts from the macrocosmic to microcosmic and from practical and conversational to the occult and religious.
