1:TONI B., SQUATTING LAND IN RIO
(Vulgo Sacopa)
André Reyes Novaes and Pedro Urano, Brazil, 2002, 26'
Toni B lives on the side of Sacopa Hill, on the shores of the Lagoon, in the heart of Rio de Janeiro's South Zone. From there, he watches the world, people and himself, while he fights for ownership of the place where he lives, in the company of the works he creates. An universe where day to day occurrences inspire mythical narratives and contain conflicts which rule our process of development and urbanization.
 
2: WALKING OFF COURT
George Barber, GB, 2003, 10'
It is 10 mins long and concerns a story I saw in the Times about a tennis coach called James Goodman who had a nervous breakdown around about the time that a motorway was built right outside his house. He spent a lot of time aimlessly walking in circles around new roads and road works.
 
3:VIDEOLETTERS - EMIL AND SASA EPISODE
