MVPA Director's Cuts 2002 Film Festival Lineup 60 Seconds - dir. Martin Weisz / Palomar Pictures - 15 min Stumbling down a highway, a man faces reality – inside and out. Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society. – Mark Twain Meet the President - dir. Andreas Kidess / Palomar Pictures - 6.5 min Man-on-the-street interviews capture the hilarious and confused state of public opinion. When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President. Now I'm beginning to believe it. – Clarence Darrow The Crabs (Les Crabes) - dir. Francois Vogel / Notorious Pictures - 5 min Crabs push their boundaries to viewers’ amusement. Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power. - John Steinbeck State of Da Union - dir. Marc Klasfeld / Rockhard Films - 9 min Government takes an uppercut from a bold new perspective. The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter. – Sir Winston Churchill Salami Fight Association - dir. Douglas Avery / Villains - 8 min Two men battle. Meat is involved. Laughter is guaranteed. Knowing is half the battle. – G.I. Joe Interiors - dir. Doug Aitken / Oil Factory Inc - 7.5 min Four people share a simultaneous momentary connection, portraying a new and transforming world of the 21st century and its relation to the individual. All the sounds of the earth are like music. - Oscar Hammerstein II Daylight Robbery - dir. W.I.Z. / Oil Factory Inc - 2 min Portrait of the artist as a (proactive) young man. I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. – Mahatma Gandhi Taken - dir. Hayley Cloake / SuperMega - 7 min Clever and sexy story of a woman, a boy, and a VCR. Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly… - Stephen King Nachtschwimmen - dir. Markus Engel / Doro Media - 16 min Lush and immersed in the reserve of ambition. For the night was not impartial. No, the night loved some more than others, served some more than others. - Eudora Welty Butt Baby - dir. Liam Lynch / Oil Factory Inc - 6 min A Godot-like wait involving LSD, tighty-whiteys and anal birth. It is as painful perhaps to be awakened from a vision as to be born. – James Augustine Six Days - dir. Wong Kar Wai / Anonymous Content - 4.5 min Tied by a physical mark and dominant memories, a man tries to forget his deceptive lover. The possession of anything begins in the mind. – Bruce Lee A Ninja Pays Half My Rent - dir. Steve Tsuchida / Oil Factory Inc – 6 min The joys and perils of co-habitating with an assassin. I’m turning Japanese I think I’m turning Japanese I really think so. – The Vapors Never Never - dir. Jordan Scott / Black Dog Films - 4 min The dreams of a girl aren’t what you would expect. Snips and snails and puppy dog tails… - Anonymous
