Set to an excerpt of Don Cherry's Malkauns from his border-erasing 1975 album, Brown Rice, Shale Raga extracts corporate video toward resistance a la carbon-based capitalist sorcery, in this case EcoShale technology, which is patented by Alberta-based Red Leaf Resoures, Inc. and promises to "revolutionize" oil shale production in the Book Cliffs of eastern Utah.

In the Mossi culture, one of the rites attending the birth of a child and its induction as a new member of the community involves the burial of the placenta. The space in which the placenta is buried is called 'Zan Boko' - a phrase which connotes the religious, cultural and affective relations that bind the child to the land and that embraces the notions of 'rootedness' and 'belonging'. Kaboré tells the story of Tinga, who resists the encroaching urbanization of his native territory. The specific rhythms and vision of the rural community, including its values, social relationship, and individual & collective destinies, are altered when a city is planted on the edge of an ancient native village.
Moki and Don Cherry met in the mid-1960s and soon began collaborating closely. They made happenings, music, art, posters and record sleeves, they performed together, organised workshops and toured. The film merges the different worlds they lived in – countryside and city life, and the various disciplines that were interwoven in their artistic practices. Some scenes also feature Eagle-Eye Cherry as a little boy and Neneh Cherry in her teens. Other musicians from that time include Collin Walcott, Rashied Ali, James Blood Ulmer and Naná Vasconcelos. Urban Lasson also appears in the film.

예수를 닮은 한 사내. 이름 모를 기이하고도 그로테스크한 곳에 떨어졌다. 그는 벌거벗은 채로 난쟁이를 따라 얽히고 설킨 ‘세상’에 조금씩 눈을 뜨게 되고, 복잡한 세상을 정신없이 헤매던 그는 기묘한 여정에 들어서게 된다. 우선 사내는 우연히 신비의 지도자를 만나게 된다. 지도자를 통해 ‘연금술’의 능력을 배우면서 인정을 받게 된 그는 세상에서 가장 부유하고 영향력 있는 7명의 인물을 만난다. 이 7명의 인물들은 태양계의 행성들을 각각 수호하고 있다. 이후 예수를 닮은 사내와 지도자, 7명의 수행원들은 속세의 물건을 모두 버리고 신의 일을 대신하고 있는 불사의 현자들을 찾아 성스러운 산으로 길을 나선다. 그들이 성스러운 산을 오르기까지 과연 어떤 놀랄만한 사건들이 그들을 엄습해 올 것인가. 성스러운 산에 올라 깨달음을 얻기까지의 과정은 절대 쉽지 않다.

ZERO IN THE UNIVERSE is a comedy, a cryptogram–a message in code to the viewer. Who is Zero? What universe? What is the opposition of Zero and his arch enemy, Steinmetz? What does it come from, and where, if anywhere, does it go. The film presents abundant clues, but the answers are never stated. –J. L.
