Homefront USA

Overview of films

  • Luke

    Michael Jackson Chaney | 9' | USA | World premiere

    Virtuoso visualisation of an old Biblical parable. Palestinian fighter as Samaritan.

  • Mala leche

    Naomi Uman | 47' | USA | -

    Sequel to Leche (see that film). Portrait of a Mexican peasant immigrant family. The American Dream remains out of sight.

  • Masked and Anonymous

    Larry Charles | 107' | USA | -

    A film that will gain a degree of cult status. Bob Dylan pulled the strings and plucked them in front of and behind the scenes…

  • Newspaper Only

    Carola Dertnig, Ulrike Müller | 1' | Austria | World premiere

    Commuters throw their newspapers in a special bin in the morning.

  • ONE YEAR LATER – Interviews and Radio

    Niki Lerch | 17' | Austria | International premiere

    On the road through America passing tourist landscapes. One year after September 11, the date comes round again. At least it does on the radio.

  • Operation Double Trouble

    Keith Sanborn | 10' | USA | International premiere

    Simple intervention makes army propaganda film stutter. Showing every scene twice instead of once destroys the heroism in one fell swoop.

  • Out of Status

    Sanjna Singh, Pia Sawhney | 11' | USA | International premiere

    Go straight to jail, don’t pass Go. Immigrants from Moslem countries in the land of Monopoly. How September 11 hit law-abiding Moslem citizens.

  • Persons of Interest

    Alison Maclean, Tobias Perse, Allison Maclean, Tobias Purse | 63' | USA | World premiere

    In a cool form, an (in)human problem is made painfully tangible. After September 11, immigrants from Moslem countries were made outlaws in the USA.

  • Re: The_Operation

    Paul Chan | 28' | USA | European premiere

    A confusing and humorous portrait, in a mixture of styles, of those who turn warfare into higher politics.

  • Rome, NY

    Ada Bligaard Soby | 26' | Denmark | -

    Film maker from Denmark keeps her eyes open in a dormitory suburb and catches a hidden America. A cheerful voyage of discovery.

  • A Room with a View in the Financial District

    Carola Dertnig | 5' | Austria | -

    Before it all happened, an artist looked around the WTC in New York. In retrospect, it all looks very spooky.

  • Scenes From an Endless War

    Norman Cowie | 32' | USA | -

    Varied visual and political essay about the dubious effect of the mass media in times of war.
