Sibling Topics (section a) is one of seven works in Trecartin's 2009-10 Rotation. Kevin McGarry writes, "Sibling Topics adopts a narrative and style that is more cinematic than any of Trecartin's other or previous videos....Family is the central theme of Sibling Topics—post-family, to be precise. Trecartin returns to his conception of family-as-business-enterprise (I-Be Area), casting parent figures as managers and executives on one end of the spectrum, estranged children as freelancers on the other."
Combining live footage with animated drawings, text, and diagrams, Sink or Swim comments on the precarious relationship between knowledge, perception and language. "With the knowledge that the Earth is flat," reads one of Weiner's gnomic phrases, "it's a snap to get to the point."

Combining perhaps the only footage from the first Women’s International Day march in San Francisco and rare footage of the second National Lesbian Conference at UCLA, Sisters! is a joyous and vital landmark in feminist, queer, and lesbian filmmaking.
Six Colorful Inside Jobs is one of a series of films that Baldessari produced in the 1970s, which are newly available through EAI. Seen from a bird's eye view, a figure paints the walls and floor of a windowless room six times in six days, using each of the primary and secondary colors.
A fixed camera turned on its side records Nauman repeating for nearly an hour a laborious sequence of body movements inspired by passages in works by Samuel Beckett that describe similarly repetitive and meaningless activities. Hands clasped behind his back, he kicks one leg up at a right angle...
"I first heard of AIDS in 1985 when I was teaching at Columbia College in Chicago. I noticed the strange and inflammatory articles in the newspapers and I asked my students to collect hysteric headlines for me. And so I began my work on Snow Job: The Media Hysteria of AIDS. I examined the public ignorance, stigmatization, and just plain wrong attitudes towards this new illness. By making a snow storm of newspaper clippings I could show what a 'snow job' the media was making." — Barbara Hammer
This is a newly restored version of documentation of the 1967 group performance Snows, which was built out of Schneemann's outrage and sorrows over the atrocities of the Vietnam War. In an ethereal stage environment combining colored light panels, film projection, torn collage, hanging sacks of colored water, "snow," crusted branches, rope, foil and foam, an audience-activated electronic switching system controlled elements of the performance/installation.
