A Man Who Was Superman

SONG Soo-jung is a producer going on her third year at a small company. Her specialty is human interest stories. She is driven to produce these shallow stories for the sake of her ambition of one day becoming Korea’s own Oprah Winfrey. However, she is reaching the end of what’s left of her pride. One day, after months of not getting paid, she leaves her office with the company camera to produce a story on a lion apparently refusing to eat its meal. On her way, however, she comes across a robber, but she is saved somehow by Superman in a Hawaiian shirt. “Superman” claims he’s unable to tap into his supernatural powers as the bad guys have placed kryptonite inside his head. However, he doesn’t let that get in his way from helping others, from saving the world from global warming to saving a lost puppy.

Rhizome

A continuation of Dana Plays’ SALVAGE PARADIGM series compounding detritus of history and memory derived from found-footage salvaged from 1,600 educational films, thrown into a dumpster by Syracuse University after its downsizing effort closed the S.U. Educational Film Library. Plays optically re-photographs archival footage segments that she extracts with a focus on war documentation, science experiments, motion picture and optical inventions and other subjects throughout the history of the twentieth century.

Rhythm 06

Filmed in a decaying housing estate in east London, "Rhythm 06" renders the outer trappings of internal collapse, a choreography of layers of the real. This new reworking of "Rhythm 93" transposes Michael Whitmore's ethereal score for 10-string guitar and overtones on Carolyn Roy's original riveting hypernaturalist performance.

Right

A playful study of one of the U.S.A.'s most ubiquitous symbols, and an attempt to re-invent it as a thing of problematic beauty. Overlayed on top of the imagery are snippets of an email exchange I had with a person who was and remains a staunch apologist for the Bush administration's hundreds of lies leading up to the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, as well as for the administration's many other crimes, corruptions and failings.

Return of the White Lion

Tales of the existence of white lions have been passed through four centuries of African folklore. But today no white lions exist in the Timabavti range where they originated. That is until a team of conservationists brings one special lioness and her three cubs out of captivity and into the natural habit of their origins. Two years into the project, Linda has achieved much of what she set out to do but the hunting policy hasn't changed and the genetic marker hasn't yet been identified - meaning the white lions are still not a protected sub-species. Whilst this challenge still remains, Marah's legacy lives on as her daughter produces the white cubs, and the brothers are ready to breed with the tawny lionesses. Linda continues to fight for the protection of these magical lions and looks forward to the day when it will be safe for her lions - and all white lions - to roam freely in the Greater Timbavati Ecosystem.
