Tribulation 99: Alien Anomalies Under America
(Craig Baldwin, US 1991, 48')
A pseudo-documentary aimed at uncovering the hidden agenda behind
the United States' intervention in world affairs. Director Craig
Baldwin obsessively deploys the language of 1950s Cold War paranoia,
as well as every possible scrap of 'found' footage - from daytime
TV and old B-movies to mad clips of Castro and Kennedy. 'Dazzling,
audacious political graffiti, like an unimaginable collaboration
between Noam Chomsky and Edward D Wood Jr.' (Jonathan Romney).
Plus
L.B.J.
(Santiago Alvarez, Cuba 1950, 15')
This agit-prop mix of newsreel clips, press photos and animated
drawings is 'dedicated' to US President Lyndon Johnson. Featuring
extracts from speeches by John F Kennedy, Stokely Carmichael and
Martin Luther King together with protest songs by Nina Simone.
