Documentary Program
Saturday 5pm at the Red Vic - $5 show

Spam-ku: I won a haiku contest about spam [fiction] - Steven Tsuchida, Los Angeles, CA, 5 min 35mm
If the X-files had a penchant for Japanese poetry (and for a certain Hormel meat-based product) you might get a metaphysical comedy like this.

Natasha [documentary] - Jen Ashlock, Chapel Hill, NC, 13 min, Super 8
Three high-school gals form a band, name it after their collective alter-ego, write lyrics in class (and yes, some of those lyrics are physics problems and Noam Chomsky), and find beauty and complexity in the simplest of songs. Power to the Girls!

Skateboarding is not...[documentary] - Drew Barlow, Provo, UT, 57 min, Super 8, 16mm, Mini DV, Hi8
Despite what the X-games producers and Activision would have you believe, skating is not doing a tabletop darkslide into a 720 christ-air in a video game. Real life skaters obsess over perfecting trick combinations, get hassled by the cops, and aren't always content to ride in skate parks; oh yeah, they hurt themselves a lot of the time too.
