Jack and Diane: Two people break up, it happens all the time. But this time the story is told through 57 different song lyrics. It’s a first generation MTV viewers’ solution to bad communication.

Love Story: This is found footage from a NYC flea market. Occasionally I will find films where the person was trying to be creative, but most people don’t know what to do with their movie cameras so they just film their relatives. This is a 1970’s? film where the two teens are acting out Shakespeare.

Phantom George: Poor George was born with a gift; the ability to astral project himself into anyone or anything that moves. Oh the possibilities! We follow him from his early exploring years through his unusual experimental college years. No one (and nothing) is safe until this romantic loser meets the girl of his dreams. Yeah, like that will happen.

Dandy’s Inferno: In every home there is a hunger and with every hunger there is a longing for home. So begins Dandy’s Inferno, a domestic odyssey that follows one’s cat’s quest for gastronomic nirvana. A fantastic collage of animation, puppetry and magical sets, Dandy’s Inferno blurs the line between logic and naked animal passion.

Peggy Love: One-Oh-One: Love is an obsession. Pop culture is filled with love songs. What can the musical expression of the word “love” mean? Here, one of the great pop vocalists of the twentieth century, Peggy Lee, sings us some clues.
