Raised on Junk

Also held by "Moving Images Distribution" in 16mm format: "In this experimental narrative, a young woman is provoked into questioning her daily consumerism by a character at the periphery of the waking world, a character who appears to be saying 'I've never been a heroin addict but I was raised on junk ...'" 19 min. 1985 [http://www.movingimages.ca/catalogue/Experimental/Experimental_a.html#RTFToC2a].

Disposable

Also held by "Moving Images Distribution" in 16mm format: "Disposable is an experimental narrative in black and white with post colour tinting. It metaphorically contrasts North American "disposable"cultural forms such as video, Polaroid, and graffiti with more enduring cultural traditions in Europe. With a juxtaposition of music from Nega-vision and Beethoven, and pop absurdist dialogue, the film satirically comments on America's consumerism and amnesia about history. Award: Best Film, Berlin Short Film Festival" 14 min., 1984 [http://www.movingimages.ca/catalogue/Experimental/Experimental_b.html#RTFToC10a]
