Walt Disney said “We have created characters and animated them in the dimension of depth, revealing through them to our perturbed world that the things we have in common far outnumber and outweigh those that divide us.” Outside of Walt himself there are few people who have brought together and united more animators in the history of the genre than Craig "Spike" Decker and Mike Gribble, known to all as Spike & Mike. They created an animation festival that helped launch the careers of John Lasseter, Peter Lord, Will Vinton, Bill Plympton and Mike Judge to name just a few. Their Spike & Mike festival had an enormous impact on animation that was felt the world over. The festival was known as much for the breakthrough animation it presented as the outrageous antics of the founders.

First Contact é um documentário único, narrado pelo ator vencedor do Globo de Ouro James Woods. O filme conta a história verdadeira dos encontros de Darryl Anka com OVNIs que o levaram a canalizar um ser extraterrestre conhecido como Bashar, que entrega mensagens para preparar a Terra para o contato com outra civilização. O filme não só explora o potencial impacto positivo do contato ET em nossa sociedade, mas também desmistifica a canalização. First Contact não só surpreenderá os telespectadores com testemunhas oculares surpreendentes provas científicas, como também explora muitas das questões que fazemos há milênios: por que estamos aqui? Qual é a natureza da existência? Para onde vamos? Bashar responde estas questões através da canalização e como cada pessoa cria a realidade que ela experimenta. First Contact propõe que não estamos sozinhos e que a verdade é mais estranha que a ficção.

Shadow Stalker outlines the history of Predictive Policing, Digital Identity Theft and the dangers of Data Mining, that uses algorithms, performance and projections to make visible private Internet systems that are increasingly used by law enforcement and promote racial profiling. Drawing on a network of critical thinkers on surveillance and machine learning, Hershman Leeson abstracts the red square zone into a specter that haunts the work. Where one falls on the map in relation to this red square becomes a proxy for who one is-location, a proxy for identity.
