Johan Grimonprez, Double Take, ("20th Century's Most Extraordinary...")
0:36
Double Take—"20th Century's most extraordinary diplomatic manoeuver"

From YouTube:
"If you meet your double, you should kill him.

In his new film DOUBLE TAKE, acclaimed director Johan Grimonprez
(dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y) casts Alfred Hitchcock as a paranoid history professor, unwittingly caught up in a double take on the cold war period. The master says all the wrong things at all the wrong times while politicians on both sides desperately clamor to say the right things, live on TV.

DOUBLE TAKE targets the global rise of fear-as-a-commodity, in a tale of odd couples and hilarious double deals. As television hijacks cinema, and the Khrushchev and Nixon kitchen debate rattles on, sexual politics quietly take off and Alfred himself emerges in a dandy new role on the TV, blackmailing housewives with brands they can't refuse.

Bestselling novelist Tom McCarthy (Remainder, Tintin and the Secret of Literature) writes a plot of personal paranoia to mirror the political intrigue in which Hitchcock and his elusive double increasingly obsess over the perfect murder of each other! Subverting a meticulous array of TV footage, Grimonprez traces catastrophe culture's relentless assault on the home, from the inception of televised images to our present day zapping neurosis.

DOUBLE TAKE is edited by Tyler Hubby (The Devil and Daniel Johnston, Welcome to Death Row) and Dieter Diependaele."

Omer Fast, Talk Show, 2009, at Abrons Art Center
3:12
From PerformaTV

"For Performa 09 Omer Fast will combine the familiar childhood game of Broken Telephone with the confessional talk show format. In a theatrical setting, invited guests will recount personal memories with direct links to current global events and the projection of power and freedom. As each guest begins speaking, an actor appears alongside, as an observer, listening to the guest's account for the first time. When the guest is finished, the actor retells what he or she has just heard, while another actor listens to the account and subsequently narrates his or her own rendition of the story. This sequence repeats several times over the course of the evening, allowing the story to spontaneously transform from individual memory to communal recitation, from version to version into its own fluid text."
Interview with Thorkell S. Hardarson and Orn Marino Arnarson
Liza Béar
7:34
"Tribeca Film Festival, New York, May 2, 2010—In this interview, Icelandic producer/directors Thorkell S. Hardarson and Orn Marino Arnarson discuss how their film, Feathered Cocaine, originally intended to be a history of falconry, entered a world of intrigue and geopolitics once they made contact with Alan Howell Parrot, a falcon trainer since the age of eighteen. Parrot, who became the protagonist of Feathered Cocaine, is one of the worlds leading falcon trainers with strong connections in the Middle East, where he formerly trained hunting falcons for the Persian Gulf power elite, including the King of Saudi Arabia, the President of the United Arab Emirates, and the Shah of Iran. After witnessing relentless falcon smuggling in the wake of the USSR's collapse, he left the Middle East and formed a global nature conservation group with like-minded people to protect the falcons.

Through his connections, Parrot learned of the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden, who is an obsessed falconer. He has tried to relay this information to the Bush administration since 2005 (and to the Obama Administration since he took office in 2009), yet has met silence or obstruction. The FBI, CIA, NSA, OCO, and Rewards For Justice program have all chosen not to reach out to the one man who says he has gone falcon hunting with Osama Bin Laden six times since 2004. Feathered Cocaine's intriguing cocktail of geopolitics, terrorism, petrodollars, and nature conservation sheds light on how business is conducted in the global merry-go-round of money and politics.

After its world premiere at the 9th Tribeca Film Festival, Feathered Cocaine is playing at Hot Docs, Toronto, on May 4 and May 6."
Art:21 - Do-Ho Suh
art:21
2003
Known for sculptures and installations that defy conventional notions of scale and site-specificity, Do-Ho Suh's work draws attention to the ways viewers occupy and inhabit public space. Exploring the fine line between strength in numbers and homogeneity, Suh's works question the identity of the individual in today's increasingly transnational, global society.

Do-Ho Suh is featured in the Season 2 episode "Stories" of the Art21 series "Art:21 — Art in the Twenty-First Century".

TEDTalks: Artist Edward Burtysnky
2005
"Accepting his 2005 TED Prize, photographer Edward Burtynsky makes a wish: that his images — stunning landscapes that document humanity's impact on the world — help persuade millions to join a global conversation on sustainability. Burtynsky presents a riveting slideshow of his photographs, which show vividly how industrial development is altering the Earth's natural landscape. From mountains of tires to rivers of bright orange waste from a nickel mine, his images are simultaneously beautiful and horrifying."
