books of james

Ho Tam, Canada 2006, 72min

Inspired by a collection of personal notebooks, Books of James is an experimental documentary on ART, AIDS and ACTIVISM. Based on the writing, drawing, video footage and personal revelation of James Wentzy, an artist/activist in New York City, the film illustrates the 30-year timeline from the late 1970s to the present, examining the changes in the social and political landscape of America.

Following James from South Dakota to New York City, the film traces his days from struggling and surviving as an artist to later becoming an AIDS video activist. In showcasing a unique individual through his involvement with the fight against AIDS and his tireless frontline reportage of the crisis, Books of James is an intimate portrait of a neglected everyman/hero and unearths a time now forgotten.

made in secret: the story of the east van porn collective


bildwechsel glasgow presents

made in secret: the story of the east van porn collective

Canada 2004 86mins main feature + extras

at CCA, 16th November, 7pm, free event

“A thought-provoking and genre-bending look behind the scenes of what might be the world’s only underground DIY anarcho-feminist porn collective. It isn’t fact. It isn’t fiction. It isn’t even the typically Canadian ‘somewhere in between.’ It’s something else altogether. And if we could ask one thing of you as you watch our little movie, it would be that you try to create a new category for it in your mind.”

Bandite screening in Hamburg


The documentary Bandite gives back to the history of the Italian Resistance, the women support at the liberation fight as expression of parity and equality between gender, a crucial moment in which the women exit from their historical role of mothers, housewife and wife and assume thatone of criminal, clandestine, partisan.
The women were not, as official historiography says, only simply assistants of the men partisans, cooks or nurses, in many of them were guerrila, ready to take weapons for the liberation of all people. Not only the recovery of a part of the historical memory, often left in the oblivion, but also its rethinking for the analysis of today and as example for a social and political renewal of the future.
A film by direction Alessia Proietti and Giuditta Pellegrini
