IFFR 2005

Bryan Boyce

The blunt language of Minister Dick Cheney with a pinch of salt.

PS Homefront USA

America's Biggest Dick

Alexandria Searls

A glimpse of a graveyard for military aircraft.

Black Spot

Keith Sanborn

Installation with a human face that turns 360°. Can be seen in the window of the CBK.

Dedicated Control Mechanism

Tony Cokes

A statement from the newspaper gets another perspective with music by Tony Cokes. Penetrating.

Evil.8 / Evil.7 / Evil.9

Kevin Keating

Well thought out documentary about the former zero-tolerance mayor of New York. Everything is tackled: the party, the Mafia, the friends and the scandal. Don't say you couldn't have known if he gets to be president.

Giuliani Time

Rogier Klomp

What that is, an animated documentary? Look and don't believe your eyes. Yes, this is made in Holland too.

The Goatman Act

Jon Jost

America without glamour. An ordinary family tries to keep its head above water but loses out to macro economics and macro politics. And they have to send a son to war.

Homecoming

Alex Cooke

WIth great casualness, film star Arnold Schwarzenegger is retrained as a politician. The film stays close to the star and his campaign. As a result things only becomes stranger.

How Arnold Won the West

Wim Wenders

Another real Wenders. A quest through fascinating American landscapes. an America that has changed a lot since 9/11, yes indeed. And Wenders changes along with it.

Land of Plenty

Bureau of Inverse Technology

Send a woman on roller skates into a departure hall and the security chaos is complete. We won't allow ourselves to be driven crazy, we said. Oh yes we will.

Bruce Weber

Master photographer writes a letter to his dog. About film stars with dogs, but also about refugees from Haiti and the umpteenth war involving America. Sounds good. Something to think about.

A Letter to True

Garrett Scott

Ian Olds

Strikingly supply shot documentary follows a squadron of young and inexperienced American soldiers who are stationed near Falluja, the Guernica of Iraq. They look as if they are on the moon. Bewildering.

Occupation: Dreamland

François Bucher

Back to the well. Not cut found footage but very strange and unusual films. In the right order. Even though for some people well only means oil.

A Portrait of America as a Young Empire (in its Own Words)

Jenny Perlin

Why the shopping mall in Dubai is bigger and every Somali is a potential terrorist.

Possible Models

Cynthia Madansky

Elle Flanders

Report from two experimental film makers who would rather not get involved with politics. But it's still war.

PSA no. 1 Color Theory

PSA no. 2 Euphemism

PSA no. 3 Glory

PSA no. 4 Homeland

PSA no. 5 Crude

PSA no. 6 Simulation

Take a receipt from the video store and you'll never again forget which film you rented when war broke out.

Review

Trey Parker

Late addition the the programme; catalogue entry will follow soon. Check www.teamamerica.com for more information.

Team America: World Police

Super slow morphing of two faces that confuses the viewer. Paul Virillio or Napoleon?

Michael Galinsky

Stephanie Pierce

Uncensored street interview. Your opinion about the war please. Including the refusals and wrong answers.
