The bodies of 25 victims, men, women and children were found, on a remote ranch along with a homemade dungeon and explicit videotapes. Two men were arrested for the horrific murders, but only one would face prosecution. This turned out to be one of the most grim, devious and damning cases in California history. This is the true story of Charles Ng, the first Chinese serial killer in America. http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1034383 http://gridfarm1.undergroundfilm.org/media/march2006/1034383_thm.jpg 14 Apr 2008 07:04 CST http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1034316 an adaptation of an episode of the cherokee origin myth, "kana'ti and selu", "death of a matriarch" explains why man must farm for their sustenance. http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1034316 http://gridfarm1.undergroundfilm.org/media/march2006/1034316_thm.jpg 06 Apr 2008 12:04 CST http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1034315 a man unexpectedly dies in a car crash and wakes up in purgatory. he is guided into room 101 and is forced to face the anxieties and fears he avoided during the course of his life. http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1034315 http://gridfarm1.undergroundfilm.org/media/march2006/1034315_thm.jpg 06 Apr 2008 11:04 CST http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1034298 Facing the mirror, a woman in prey of her desire, her inside demons.

Digital filmmaker Barton Santello presents a unique an original picture assembled from decades old 8mm film. Textured visuals chosen for their artistic quality, are presented in a dream-like sequence, recalling fragments of memory long forgotten by time. Imagery for this work was choreographed to a psycho-active score by digital electronic musicians 'A Produce' & Loren Nerell. http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1032151 http://gridfarm1.undergroundfilm.org/media/march2006/1032151_thm.jpg 21 Sep 2007 07:09 CST http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1032147 This short video begins with a symmetrical field of bright colors, which is undergoing constant small changes. The image as a whole is also shaking and shimmering. It's like looking through a kaleidoscope while riding in a car on a very bumpy road. The music consists of a looped chord sequence of pretty, shimmering electronic sounds, which shake in tight coordination with the image. After a while, the image is replaced by a nonshaking kaleidoscope, with a glassy, marbled-looking surface. It becomes apparent that the imagery is taken from tropical fish, swimming in a tank.

The visual design, more or less steady throughout, is an 8 by 8 grid of identical images, created from footage of a single flame, and reflected symmetrically within each square of the grid. The image of the flame has been drastically slowed down, so that it changes in time with the underlying pulse of the music. It has also been softened, making it resemble a charcoal drawing. The result is a fairly abstract image which nevertheless maintains the essential feeling of a flame, married to the rhythm of the song http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1032146 http://gridfarm1.undergroundfilm.org/media/march2006/1032146_thm.jpg 21 Sep 2007 02:09 CST http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1032035 In an underground tank, two butchers express their affections. http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1032035 http://gridfarm1.undergroundfilm.org/media/march2006/1032035_thm.jpg 08 Sep 2007 10:09 CST http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1032012 - http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1032012 http://gridfarm1.undergroundfilm.org/media/march2006/1032012_thm.jpg 06 Sep 2007 08:09 CST http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1032010 - http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1032010 http://gridfarm1.undergroundfilm.org/media/march2006/1032010_thm.jpg 06 Sep 2007 08:09 CST http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1032009 - http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1032009 http://gridfarm1.undergroundfilm.org/media/march2006/1032009_thm.jpg 06 Sep 2007 08:09 CST http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1031979 Los ABCs: ?Qu? vivan los muertos! is a five-minute Chicano docu-animation cataloguing the real-life testimony of skeletons that have returned to tell their stories of life and death during war.

Employing both cinematic and proto-cinematic means, as well as sculptural, spatial and performative elements, the picture addresses the movie-making impulse and invites comparisons with other basic human urges, such as fetishism, hunting, and the confused tension between science and things beyond reason. Shot on Super 8 film, and drawing visual influence from early cinema, the meeting point of outmoded cinematic technology and the attempted invisibility of digital media is an important issue http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1031756 http://gridfarm1.undergroundfilm.org/media/march2006/1031756_thm.jpg 09 Aug 2007 11:08 CST http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/detail.tcl?wid=1031755 This is an illustration of 7 pieces by poet Becky Cooper, taking the form of 7 letters from Freakshow performers.

Presenting itself as a tale of creation, the film illustrates the simultaneous appreciation and paranoia of the technological age. The interest in forms both organic and fabricated is mirrored by a fusion of the contemporary with the ancient. This juxtaposition creates a displaced sense of time presenting the discovery of technology as a gift to humanity rather than a choice.

In the update, actor Allan Poe (Cody) chronicles his own undoing involving madness & murder brought about by his own obsessive fear of the cellular phone. Here, it's not the beating of a severed heart, but an intrusive cell phone melody (the omnipresent "William Tell Overture") that plays on his guilt-ridden conscience.
