5천년에 걸친 인류 역사에 있어서 가장 중요한 사건은 환경의 변화다. 옛 자연에서 새 자연으로, 즉 자연의 환경에서 테크놀로지의 환경으로 변한 것이다. 이것은 여러 제국들보다 중요하고, 세계 종교보다 강력하며, 대전투보다 결정적이고, 지구상의 온갖 격변보다 훨씬 충격적이다. 는 이러한 환경의 변화를 다루고 있다. 지구상의 조화를 꾀하는 방식이, 자연의 경우 다양한 차이의 미스터리를 통해서라면, 새 자연은 테크놀로지의 균질화를 통해서다. 는 이 단일한 사건의 반영이며, 여기서 우리의 주제는 미디어 그 자체다. 기술의 요람, 테크놀로지의 결정체. 미디어가 바로 우리 이야기이다. 인간은 테크놀로지를 도구로서 이용하는 게 아니라, 아예 삶의 한 방법으로서 테크놀로지를 통해 존재한다. 이제 테크놀로지는 인간에게 있어 산소와 같은 것이 되었고, 인간은 이제 테크놀로지 없이는 살 수가 없다. 테크놀로지의 욕망은 무한하기 때문에, 유한한 자연의 세계를 소모하고 있다. 결국 테크놀로지는 결국 ‘나코이카시’, 즉 전쟁으로서의 삶이다. 삶의 힘에 대한 허가된 공격인 것이다. 는 우리를 지구상 어디에도 없는 곳이자 동시에 어디에나 있는 곳으로 여행을 안내한다. 이미지 그 자체. 그것이 바로 우리의 로케이션 장소다. 여기서는 가상공간이 실제공간을 압도한다. 옛 신들이 폐위되고 새로운 빛의 만신전이 통합된 컴퓨터 회로에서 나타난다. 그것의 진실이 진짜 진실이 된다. 미래와 자연경관, 비극과 반짝이는 희망이 동시에 이미지와 음악의 디지털 파도 속에서 하나로 융합된다. 새로운 세계가 오고 있다. 새로운 세계가 여기 있다. 는 이에 대한 코멘트이다.

She experiments with relationships, political activism, and meditation. Meanwhile, the actors, director and crew are shown in a humorous parallel plot about the making of the film and their reactions to the story and each other. Nudity, explicit sex, and controversial politics kept this film from being shown in the US while its seizure by Customs was appealed.

The struggle for civil rights has been one of the most important issues of American life for the last fifty years. In August of 1963, groups from all over the country journeyed to Washington D.C. for a massive demonstration, and this film is a fascinating document of this event. Celebrated filmmaker Haskell Wexler ("Medium Cool") traveled with the San Francisco delegation, photographing and conversing candidly with the participants. He has succeeded admirably in capturing the significance and drama of this historic trip.

The March, also known as The March to Washington, is a 1964 documentary film by James Blue about the 1963 civil rights March on Washington. It was made for the Motion Picture Service unit of the United States Information Agency for use outside the United States – the 1948 Smith-Mundt Act prevented USIA films from being shown domestically without a special act of Congress. In 1990 Congress authorized these films to be shown in the U.S. twelve years after their initial release. In 2008, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". (Wikipedia)

The historic interview that stopped JFK in his tracks...

Integration Report 1, Madeline Anderson's trailblazing debut, was the first known documentary by an African American female director. With tenacity, empathy and skill, Anderson assembles a vital record of desegregation efforts around the country in 1959 and 1960, featuring footage by documentary legends Albert Maysles and Richard Leacock and early Black cameraman Robert Puello, singing by Maya Angelou, and narration by playwright Loften Mitchell. Anderson fleetly moves from sit-ins in Montgomery, Alabama to a speech by Martin Luther King Jr. in Washington, D.C. to a protest of the unprosecuted death in police custody of an unarmed Black man in Brooklyn, capturing the incredible reach and scope of the civil rights movement, and working with this diverse of footage, as she would later say, “like an artist with a palette using different colors.”
