Zea

«Surgissant des entrailles de nulle part, une forme diaphane se laisse deviner à travers une lumière dorée...». Zea, un film d'animation qui a nécessité la mise en oeuvre de moyens scientifiques importants : micro-ondes, rayons lasers, thermo-couples. Art? Science? Magie? Un suspense énigmatique dont le but fut de saisir l'explosion d'un phénomène connu. Film sans paroles.

Graphic animation of black and white photographs provides a gritty, realistic look at juvenile prostitution and the young people, male and female, who are struggling to get off the streets. This documentary quickly dispels the images of glamor and big money usually associated with prostitution, and makes clear the continuum of being sexually abused as a child, loss of self-esteem, and turning to the streets. Street Kids shows the positive efforts of child-care workers to help juvenile prostitutes find a way out. A provocative discussion starter for teenage audiences, parents, social service agencies, and legal professionals.

Canadian poet Earle Birney indulges his love of trains in this performance of his sound poem To Swindon from London by Britrail. In fluent "trainish," he interprets the experience of excursions by rail. Imagination sparked by the rhythm of wheels and the clink of couplings, Birney hums, hisses and hoots his way through archival footage of vintage trains and the English countryside. A must for language, animation and train buffs.
