MEDICINE AND MAGIC, by TJ Cuthand | 2021 | Canada | 5 mins
Stories of Nêhiyaw medicine and Scottish Folk Magic, and the way colonization affected their practice.

THE CAPACITY FOR ADEQUATE ANGER, by Vika Kirchenbauer | 2021 | Germany | 15 min
A collage of ephemera both personal and public traverses the distance between present and past in a self-reflexive form of artistic critique that considers contemporary art from a perspective of class. Through voice-over and flashes of imagery Kirchenbauer’s autobiographical video contemplates the sociological dimensions of negative affect, and what forms of political agency such emotions facilitate or impede.

THE OBITUARY SHOW by Augusto Cascales | 2022 | UK | 22 min
A satirical absurdist film based on a homonymous theater play by CAConrad. The film registers collective and individual suffering as a blurred continuum in which love, humour and sorrow illuminate the constant political, ecological, existential, and alienating crisis in our contemporary landscapes, through an act of radical protest and queer liberation.

BIGGER ON THE INSIDE by Angelo Madsen Minax | 2022 | USA | 19 min
From an isolated wooded cabin a trans man stargazes, scruff chats with guys, watches youtube tutorials, takes drugs, and lies about taking drugs – feeling his way through a cosmology of embodiment.

VIDEO HOME SYSTEM, by Sharlene Bamboat | Canada | 2018 | 19 min
Traces the convergence of popular culture and politics in Pakistan during the 1980s and 1990s. This video showcases the connections between pop culture and nationalism, and how bootleg economies kept the cinema industry alive during periods of censorship.
