Let The Record Show Shorts program

Archival footage of the museum’s double doors contrasts with appropriated filmic images from newsreels and cinema in this series of cinematic philosophical speculations on the famous Third Reich propaganda building in Munich, which opened in 1937 to serve as the official German art museum.

Intimate film diaries interwoven with rich black-and-white archival film footage explore the demise and recovery of a remote First Nation community affected by a large-scale hydro-electric project in South Indian Lake in Manitoba, Canada.

While recent attention casts the 90s as a largely apolitical and monocultural time, this work seeks to exhume evidence buried in the shallow grave of cultural amnesia of a different, more political, iconoclastic, and confrontational decade that promised a future still yet to arrive. Combining archive and found footage from the 90s with newly shot 16mm film and standard definition video, Another Decade focuses on testimonies and statements made by artists, theorists, and cultural producers that are still pertinent over two decades later.
