2005 · 88 min · ★ 8.0 · Documentary

From falsehood to mystification to manipulation and false impartiality, the whole logic of disinformation and brutality is brought to light. When the king of the media and his politico-journalistic buffoons are sifted by a radical counter-audiovisual power, the discredit of the "elites" sanctioned by the referendum of May 29, 2005 is better understood. With this film, Zalea TV's team had decided to laugh about it and make them laugh, even if at bottom these discoveries were rather disturbing. By staging a series of very simple techniques of "self-defense", this film is an invitation to self-disengage permanently. The use of the TV-B Gone, an instrument whose sole function is to turn off the television, appears here as the ultimate resort to media criticism.

After seeing a television program about Eric and his solitary struggle to stop a tunnel being built, a woman who runs a small hotel, the director of a PR firm, an anorexic woman and a group of autonomous activists join forces with him. For Eric, the tunnel symobolizes the mad and useless rush of progress that denies the spiritual dimension of human destiny. Their little group begins to fall apart, undermined by incessant quarrels that muddle feelings and politics. But rebirth follows after a fall. Will failure leave a place for different points of view, love and peace?

The Corporation

MovieDocumentary

Since the late 18th century American legal decision that the business corporation organizational model is legally a person, it has become a dominant economic, political and social force around the globe. This film takes an in-depth psychological examination of the organization model through various case studies. What the study illustrates is that in the its behaviour, this type of "person" typically acts like a dangerously destructive psychopath without conscience. Furthermore, we see the profound threat this psychopath has for our world and our future, but also how the people with courage, intelligence and determination can do to stop it.
