- House is a found footage experimental film. It uses an archival 50's nuclear testing film from the Prelinger archives and reclaims it by re-editing sound and image. Rooted in French 20's surrealism and 80's industrial music, House evokes the sense of displaced home and space in a globalized world of divided wealth and poverty.
- Hurry hurry step this way! The Montréal-based film collective Volatile Works pillages the public domain Prelinger archives, sampling and remixing archival footage from the heyday of Coney Island. Six remixes create a cinematic funhouse mirror of carnival themes and collective memories, from the freaks, dancing girls and beauty queens that define us all, to the playfulness and poignancy of amusement park nostalgia. A taste of the marvelous freaks you'll see for the price of a small thin dime! If you hurry, hurry, hurry!
- Mario the Magician and his community of 'freak' friends discover they are threatened by eviction from the abandoned building they are squatting by a real estate speculator and condo developer.
- A factory worker loses his job. On his return home to his family, he embarks on a surreal journey where he is confronted with an environment at odds with his social reality.
- Kuleshov's Cabinet uses four archival films to illustrate the transformation of the automobile as an iconic American image of freedom and innovation to a symbol of death and oppression. Using the principle of the Kuleshov Effect, it is a funeral march evoking notions of oil wars, car bombs, global erosion of freedoms and civil liberties and the paradoxical image of the car as a symbol of modernization.
- A woman under hypnosis visualizes an abstracted world of fear and eroding freedoms then awakens to an underwater world far from the chaos above. Kuleshov's Paradox focuses on the automobile as an instrument of death and oppression inspired by the ghost of Lev Kuleshov.
- A scratch video intercutting news footage of the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia with the Germanic expressionistic vampire classic Nosferatu. NatoNosferatu highlights the demonizing double binds of a militaristic humanitarianism, in which we are told we have no choice but to pick sides between monsters of differing technological and civilizational orders. The montages pushes the limits of North American media's classical gothic imagery of a rational, technologically superior west imposing moral order on a monstrous Balkans.
- A film that mines (as in mining) the disjointed and fragmented minds of gifted quiz kids who are never given the chance to answer the question. What reptile is a natural submarine? Is that Ingrid Bergman and is that really a dance of death?
- Zombie business is unleashed as the "invisible hand" of "voodoo economics" produces disposible people. Shot in Super 8, the film evokes the silent era, while also mixing B-movie horror, experimental cinema and political satire.
- A young girl reads a horror comic about a businessman who abducts homeless women with uncanny results.
