MIC MAC: AH, VOUS VOILÀ ROBERTO D'ORAZIO! [SYNDICALISTE]

FLOWERS SERIAL KILLER

Pascal Bernier
Flowers Serial Killer is an out and out SNUFF MOVIE.  However, the inherent horror in this genre is tinged with farce because of the nature of the victims, flowers and cacti, very much living organisms but with a "lesser importance" according to our mammiferous criteria. ‘SnuffMovie’ where the (real) victims are flowers. Eight real murders...

(VOLCANO) ABOUT THE ANTI-CAPITALIST CARNIVAL

Charley Case
The crowd is on the move, dancing in the mud at a devilish pace, demonstrating ('make love not money'), writing their demands on their bodies ('we only want peace') or on walls (the body of the city) ... euphoria is mixed with struggle: the first frames go from a festive anti-globalization meeting to the destruction of a McDonald's...
