Chockablock with found images - including subjects such as JFK, John Paul II and the CIA - this rollicking Bruce Conner-esque collage film interrogates the history of Catholicism in America and the meaning of “good citizenship.
Two teenage girls share a kiss one night, which is recorded on video tape by a brother of one of the girls. It's then broadcast to the school, leading bullies to target them. They have to choose whether to band together as best friends or break under the pressure. A little camp, a little action, a little romance, and a little heartbreak along the way.
James is the lead singer in a local rock band who is allergic to responsibility. Leslie is the bass player in the band, a middle-aged single mom struggling to connect with her teenage son. And Tim West is Booda, a rapper trying to maintain his dreams of a music career while living up to his responsibilities as a husband and father to two young boys. These characters will wake up tomorrow and struggle again, but they each find a little hard-won peace at the end of the day.
Based on his book, American writer Stewart Brand takes a look at the life history of buildings - how they're shaped by their architects, and how they're further shaped by their inhabitants.
Set in 1991, White and Lazy follows Steve as he tries to collect the month's rent from his eccentric roommates. Prone to singing in front of the mirror, smoking grass, hunting down breakfast burritos, and ranting about Ronald Reagan, Steve is decidedly not up to the task. While mostly about laughing at oneself, White and Lazy also touches on the gap between underground culture and straight society, channelling the Do It Yourself mentality of the then-soon-to-explode punk scene.
