Summary:
"Chaos [Maigetter]: Skateboarding footage. Chaos [O'Meara]: A hand-drawn ride through space, scale and chaos theory. Chaos [Birdsell]: A brief film about bad animals. THX 1138:4EB : electronic labyrinth: Portrays a futurisatic world in which a man races for freedom while being tracked by elaborate surveillance systems. Five feet high and rising: Using non-professional actors, this New York-based film takes a cinema verité-inspired look at sexual innocence. A légy: Chronicles the journey of a common housefly. Kebabaluba: Anything can happen at a Turkish doner kebab stand. Still revolutionaries: Takes a very personal look at the lives of two women in the Black Panther Party. Deleriouspink: An experiment with Xerox machine animation. The bottomless cup: A young man takes a break from his road trip for a jolt of caffeine only to find he's stumbled into a diner where a bottomless cup of coffee takes on a new meaning. Po mo knock knock: Who says experimental films can't have a sense of humor? Burnout: A dilapidated Australian truck stop diner is the setting for a whisky-voiced rumination on life and love."--Container.
