"Feminist filmmaker and performance artist Barbara Hammer has celebrated her recent trip to Peru with her friend Corky Wick through a diaristic animation of photographs they took during their travels. Landscapes and portraits are given growing patterns of framing and texture with magic markers...
In the summer of 1994, Hammer was in invited to have a retrospective at the first Gay and Lesbian Film Festival on the African continent. In addition to screening her films there, Hammer created Out in South Africa, a documentary on race, sexual orientation, and civil rights in a transitional post-apartheid South Africa.
P.opular S.ky (section ish) submerges characters from other sections of Any Ever into an extreme poetic state where their creative limits bloom, but perhaps only on an illusory level. As the section "ish" (vs. section "a") to the works above, the movie's threads appear to be the culmination of situations initiated during other parts of Any Ever, but at the same time they are annexed as outcomes that might not be part of the official record.
In this videotape, Nauman walks around the perimeter of a small square with his hands clasped high over his head. He then circles it in increasingly larger loops until he is out of camera range completely. Since the camera is inverted, he appears to be walking on the ceiling.
Conceived as a visual and sound poem in seven scenes, this animation of a two- thousand-year-old textile in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum invites entrance into a different visual and sonic space: the universe of the pre-Columbian weavers who created the portrait of a ritual procession...
This lyrical meditation on the cultures of the African diaspora is a richly visualized collage of sounds and images derived from African cosmology, tracing the long historical struggle to define a trans-cultural African race.

The monitored images allude to a found text on the confusing etymological origins of "metro" and "poly" and their metaphoric connection to the subway as a vehicle of communication, while simulating the disassociation experienced by passengers in the system.
Writes Antek Walczak: "A detective-mystery movie adapted from Edgar Allan Poe's 'Purloined Letter' that purposely forgets the central premise of the story: the invisibility of hiding something obviously in plain sight. The Dupin twins, Augustine and Nicolas, confront another baffling case in...
"A silent film that investigates the nature of spectator perception by tourists and travelers. What do people see when they travel and isn’t it as much about moving forward as moving back? The Bateau Mouche tourist boats circle the Seine in Paris literally becoming the emblem of the voyager who cannot see." — Barbara Hammer
Participation represents the Vasulka's experience of the New York downtown scene in the late 1960s and early '70s. In this fascinating portrait of wildly creative people, places and times, the artists use the early Portapak video system to document, among others, Don Cherry performing in Washington Square, Warhol Superstars on stage, and Jimi Hendrix in concert. This pioneering video document is a free-form time capsule of an era.
