C.H.U.D.

A rash of bizarre murders in New York City seems to point to a group of grotesquely deformed vagrants living in the sewers. A courageous policeman, a photojournalist and his girlfriend, and a nutty bum, who seems to know a lot about the creatures, band together to try and determine what the creatures are and how to stop them.

Dark

“Using footage shot during the first Aboriginal Land Rights demonstrations in Sydney, and when the police tore down the ‘Aboriginal Embassy’ in front of Parliament House in Canberra, Dark juxtaposes this violent struggle with images (taken from a tourist slide) of an old Aboriginal warrior imprisoned, in his mind, in his own country. As an immigrant to Australia I’d understood what it feels like to be a stranger, and had experienced hurtful comments and prejudice (…‘bloody German’). So I thought, this is funny, these people have been here for donkey’s years, and they to go out in the streets to fight for their own land. I used various mechanisms to let this injustice, this anger out…in particular, zooming through a comb onto the image of the old warrior…letting his emotion stream out through the bars.” (Paul Winkler)

First Soul, Song Written Again

In 1992, Min-young, a member of the university protest music group Wildflower Sound, joins forces with the ideological study circle Flag to support workers at Samhyung Industries, who are striking after going six months without pay. On the day of the strike, riot police launch a violent crackdown. Workers and student musicians alike are beaten and dragged away. In response, fellow students form a resistance line to rescue them. The standoff escalates into a massive clash between citizens and police—broadcast live on national news. Compelled by something greater, Min-young steps onto the stage and cries out: "We are not rioters!" A roar of unified voices rises and echoes across the nation. “Arise, you who live—The day is coming!”
