LAST STOP, FLAMINGO
 
An imaginary Everglades landscape (left) ignores the
road that bisects the ancient River of Grass.
The third installment in the trilogy of Florida
films, Last Stop, Flamingo takes one last critical look at
the Sunshine State. Cracker Crazy (2007) examined Florida's
"Invisible Histories," largely utilizing found footage to reveal the
myths that have come to define Florida's past. Immokalee U.S.A.
(2008) studied the present-day exploitation of labor in Florida's
farmlands--a history of slavery and peonage that dates back
to Spanish conquest and persists into the present day. Last Stop,
Flamingo investigates a region defined by imaginary histories and
landscapes, from the drained and dredged river known as The
Everglades to the man-made & artificial beaches that make up
Florida's coastline.
SCOTT CAMIL WILL NOT DIE
|
|
synopsis:
For nearly 40 years,
Scott Camil has worked as an educator and activist visiting
classrooms and lecture halls speaking out against war as “organized
murder.” Scott Camil Will
Not Die focuses on Camil's work in these spaces,
examining the intersections between Camil as historical
figure, Camil as educator, and Camil as himself—a complex
individual who struggles with the psychological traumas of war
and refuses to be silenced.

A
HIGHWAY CALLED 301: an audio/visual
archaeology of U.S. Highway 301
U.S. Route 301, designated in 1932 as a spur of
U.S. Route 1, runs from Sarasota, Florida northward through the Atlantic
states and ends just beyond the Delaware Bridge.
Presently, one-thousand and ninety-nine miles of highway connect small
towns, bisect otherwise rural landscapes, and provide a vital corridor for
commerce and travel.
A multitude of abandoned structures pepper the
landscape and provide evidence of a cultural apparatus that extends
both spatially (alongside the highway) and temporally (into
past-present-future). What can the
fragmentary evidence of remaining structures, or archi-textures,
tell us about the past-present-future cultures who occupy these
spaces? This audio-visual study seeks to answer this question, less
in the form of visual-anthropology (ethnographic documentary) and more in
the uncharted territory of visual-archaeology
(science-non-fiction).

DEAD
BUFFALO TO HAVE ITS EAST COAST PREMIERE
|
The Philadelphia Independent Film
Festival and the Maine International Film Festival are set to screen Substream Film's latest
production. |
 |
"Scored to a terrific
soundtrack by Indie band Desperanto, Dead Buffalo examines American culture
through the eyes of Charlie Johnson, terminally ill but embarking on
a road trip from the American south to the Great Plains of the West,
reluctantly accompanied by his son, Dusty. A road movie with a real
ending, Dead Buffalo is a testament to native American
resiliency—in both our culture and as embodied in the very process
of filmmaking." (program notes, 12th Annual Maine
International Film Festival) |
Dusty (Drew
Blair) and Charlie Johnson (Shamrock Mcshane) play the
father/son duo in Dead
Buffalo
IMMOKALEE U.S.A. WINTER/SPRING 2009
UPDATE:
The 21st Annual U.S. Super 8 Film + Digital
Video Festival recently awarded Immokalee U.S.A. BEST
DOCUMENTARY.
"The
moving plight of Latino migrant workers in a typical southern Florida town
is chronicled with intelligence, sensitivity and restraint in this low-key
but accessibly engaging, powerfully provocative new social-economic
documentary from one of the state's (and indeed the States') most
promising non-fiction filmmakers. Very seldom have the “fruits” of labour
seemed so hard-won, and, on reflection, so very bitter." -
