In the popular imagination, pachyderms are typically reduced to annoying images of domestication - the cheerful tutued dancer, or the pink emblem of insobriety. Skip Blumberg's Elephant Games (28 mins) takes us to Thailand, where man and animal have a more compelling relationship: for man, the elephant is an integral part of the economy; for the elephant, man oversees an ever-dwindling habitat. The annual Thai games have their spectacular attractions, the tug-of-war, the speed trials, but Blumberg also lingers on the endangered status of these unwitting contestants. Daniel Reeves counterbalances the innate majesty of elephants with the cruelties waged upon them. In Ganapati/A Spirit in the Bush (45 mins) gorgeous location footage is crafted into elegiac, charged portraiture, then intermixed with sometimes disturbing archival passages. Reeves writes that his work is "a song of mourning, praise and compassion for the sentient creatures with whom we share this planet." Poetic and passionate, Ganapati looks at the havoc we wreak upon supposedly lesser inhabitants of the animal kingdom. Unfortunately for the elephant, they are our biggest target. - Steve Seid
