An earthwork emerges from underwater; a man sails out to sea and disappears. The history of a glass of milk is chronicled, and the myths of the mainstream media smashed. Whether speculative, observant, or interrogative, the films in Animal, Vegetable, Mineral manifest the urge to deal with the world-its people, its injustices, its beauty-in diverse strategies and to surprising effect. Two programs provide overviews: Paper Tiger Reads Paper Tiger Television chronicles Paper Tiger's twenty-five-year history of collective media, arcing from funky cultural critiques to incisive political activism. F Is for Phony, a program of films in conjunction with Jesse Lerner and Alexandra Juhasz's new book, examines the balancing of fact and fiction in fake documentaries. The remaining films, short and long alike, will have you thinking outside the breadbox and asking Twenty Questions.
