Radar Twenty-Eight: Before I Die
Before I Die is a rare form of Interactive Art, started by K.S. Rives and Nicole Kenney, creating life, out of death.  Using a Polaroid camera, Rives and Kenney have traveled far and wide asking people what they would like to do before they die, and snapping their photo as they answer. Rives and Kenny found that asking an age-old question inspired people to reach for a goal they set from themselves. The project soon moved online enabling people from all around the globe to take their own photo, post it and share what they wanted to do before they die.

THE MARKET
Market shoppers use all of their senses when trying to ascertain whether the groceries are local or imported. The privileging of local produce over imported goods is ever present regardless of whether or not the groceries actually are better, this follows to lines of argument - that by buying Croatian produce they are supporting Croatian agriculture and that domestic produce is familiar and tastier, although it is not the origin of the goods but the method of its production that counts. They rather chose to buy local goods simply because it is "our" , Croatian, local produce, and not some foreign, unfamiliar and alien foodstuff which is therefore deemed of lesser quality. For the preserves traditionally prepared to last throughout the winter, only local produce is considered worthy, it has to be treated, and conserved, for it to be safe, and caught at its best moment of maturity. This process demands that all foreign bodies be destroyed, that only the best pieces are used, those without fault, all this need be cleansed for the preserved to be safe from all decay.

Uprooted

Cataclysm in New Orleans
‚Cataclysm in New Orleans‘ is a documentary feature, that was filmed six months after the catastrophy of hurricane Katrina (August 2005). Its orientation follows the perspective of victims and helpers. Musicians, artists, civil rights activist and medics tell about their experiences during and after the flood. Moreover, European directors Ralph Klein and Elias Scheideler manage to sketch out the historical context of the event by way of montage, selection and form. Unadulterated by the filters and mechanisms of the global media machinery, the film shows the breadth of the catastrophy and the conditions it uncovered for the people in this place of such great significance to U.S. American cultural history. The selection of interviewees from various social points of reference, who express their experiences and sentiments each in their very own way, ensues a more intimate notion about the contiguities of the New Orleanean society, but as well provides an interior view on U.S. American reality after the first bigger steps into the third millennium. This is a 50 min edit of the full 59 minute film.
