CHANNEL 2 (pre-recorded video programme)
- Vanessa Beecroft- " Performance" 1997
Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y 1997 Bel/Fr, col &b/w, 68 min VHS Bunckle up for the unofficial chronicle of worldwide aeroplane hijacking! This pseudo-documentary will take you on a playful-subversive tour from the romantic hijacker-revolutionary of the sixties and the seventies to the cynical, anonymous parcel bombs of the nineties. Its blending of archival footage and personal home-movie imagery investigates the media politics of contemporary catastrophe culture. Inspired by two Don DeLillo novels – white Noise and Mao II, and savouring the writer’s motto ‘Home is a failed idea’, director Johan Gremonprez fully demonstrates how the spectacle of international terrorism and the desire for the ultimate disaster invade all living rooms to threaten our domestic bliss. New York composer-musician David Shea wrote the original soundtrack to this accelerated journey through the explosive history of this century.
The film has been shown at the Pompidou Centre in Paris and Documenta X (Kassel, Germany).

Bloody TV 2000, Latvia, 5min, video, This Computer Animation directly addresses the issue of dominance of violence in the news and the 'fake death' cult in entertainment at the end of the century.
LMX Spiral 1998,UK,8 min,video,col/sd LMX Spiral combines live action with computer animation to create a allegorical, intellectual pop video about Britain ’s transition from the enterprise culture of the eighties to the lottery culture of the nineties. It follows the fortunes of a naive young yuppie as he struggles to join the successes of the eighties brat pack. Through a series of scenes reminiscent of soap operas, music videos and life style adverts, it traces a path from the aspirational eighties to the disillusionment and unpredictability of the boom and burst years. AN ANIMATE!FILM

3 US Buildings/ Pentagon or World Trade Centre or UN Building 1997, Germany, 20 min, video A voyeuristic look at the depicted 3 US Buildings, in an abstract and surrealist manner, what seems to be the complementary relationship between the official state apparatus and the threat of modern terrorism.
