Baby Blue (10 minutes)
An anaglyph 3D found-footage film. None of the source material was shot stereoscopically; rather, the 3D effects are reliant on the phenomenon of motion parallax. Via its time delay strategy, visual depth illusions manifest themselves (or not, in some cases) through horizontal motions in the camera and/or its subjects. Clips of trains, space shuttles, beaches, and cyclopes butt against one another to present a doleful impression of mutated technologies, gestures, and species.

"A work of startling power and originality, acclaimed director Radu Jude's documentary-essay, The Dead Nation, examines the rise of anti-Semitism in Romania prior to and during World War II almost entirely through audio of diary entries belonging to a Jewish doctor and black-and-white photographs of provincial life in Romania between the years 1937 and 1944. In December 1937, the election of an anti-Semitic nationalist as prime minister of Romania prompted Emil Dorian, a Jewish doctor, to start keeping a diary. His words, read here by Jude, chronicle in stark detail the escalating horrors of the coming years, from Jewish deportations to the introduction of the infamous yellow star to actual, brutal violence on the streets. Running parallel to this audio are seemingly innocuous and contradictory images of everyday life. The recently discovered photographs - some in pristine condition, others in various stages of decomposition - belong to Costica Ascinte and his bustling photography studio, 'Foto Splendid.' They show happy, ordinary citizens - families, children, farmers with prize cattle, soldiers and their sweethearts - going about their daily lives; many staring pleasantly into the camera, some showing off the fascist salute. Interspersed throughout the documentary are snippets of nationalist speeches, military songs and news reports of the time. From the director of Aferim!, The Dead Nation is an extraordinary, urgent work; one that explores the individual experience against the enormity of history, while offering a vivid portrait of a divided time that speaks to the uncertainties of our own age."--Container.

Deep in the Amazon, ... docile and easy to catch, [the pink river dolphin] has become the preferred bait of local fishermen for a wildly popular scavenger fish [the piracatinga, also known as the moto]. In an effort to save the dolphin, Richard Rasmussen - ... animal activist and host of National Geographic's WILD, one of the most popular television shows in Brazil - secretly films a dolphin capture and massacre. The video sparks national outrage; and after years of futile efforts by conservationists, the Brazilian government finally responds. It issues a ban on the sale of the scavenger fish; thus, protecting the dolphins. But the action ... has unexpected repercussions. The fishermen, who have lived off the income from the scavenger fish, are no longer able to support themselves and their families. Members of the indigenous tribe filmed by Rasmussen have been receiving death threats from animal activists. And ethical questions about the footage itself have emerged."--Container.
