by Weird Paul Petroskey

A 13 year old kid named Paul reviewing and eating his McDonald's Breakfast in front of the family video camera in 1984. Very retro and an original concept over 30 years ago. Now you see this sort of YouTube-style food review every day but this was filmed long before YouTube existed.

POSTGENDERISM
by Nicholas Sunsdahl and Gina Sunsdahl
10min 20sec, Duluth, MN USA, 2012
"Estranged from maternal guidance, two siblings wallow in perpetually-adolescent masculinity. Despite some physical and intellectual effort, post-modern maturity escapes them until their bromo-incestual isolation is interupted by an astute visitor. Borrowing its title from the famous article in wikipedia.com's Transhumanism series, Postgenderism provides winter farce in proportions emblematic of upper-midwestern modesty."

The Rugcutters
by Elisa Chaudet
3min 34sec, NY, NY, USA , 2015
"This is an exploration of the imitation of the organic within the domestic. An exploration of the dusty and synthetic spaces of décor. An exploration of kitsch and interior design. A narrative of the constant process of creating a warm home, only to make it cold. I am attempting to create an environment where the playful and cynical can coexist equally."

by Robert Chamberlin and Coorain
1min 48sec, Halifax, Boston, MA, 2015
