2008
Sunroof (Benazir Bhutto Assassination) reconsiders the December 27, 2007 assassination of Benazir Bhutto, former Prime Minister of Pakistan and leader at the time of the Pakistan People’s Party. Gun shootouts in Miller’s Crossing by Joel Coen are re-shot with a Bolex 16mm camera and then hand processed and clashed against nonfiction images of rioting and a multi-lingual audio collage. Part 2 of Flicker On Off, a trilogy applying the idiom of experimental film and artist’s video to big-budget movies in order to speak about world affairs in what could be described as an alternate essay format.
