The 1994 Winners

1. White Monkey

This Disturbing short invokes a powerful metaphor of institutional autocracy over race and gender. A woman in an institution, suffering from Post-natal psychosis, is forced by nurses and doctors to break the cultural traditions which govern her birth.

A haunting account of the pains of growing up male. The Smell of Burning Ants evocatively presents the inner and outer cruelties that boys perpetrate and endure rather than glorifying and romanticizing boyhood. This film shows macho indoctrination as the horror it truly is.

Established to serve God, the Catholic Church's origin and it's current agenda could not be more dissimilar. No longer driven by the purity of the Christ message, the church finds its motivation grounded in politics, money, and cultural imperialism. The Vatican, teThe Vatican, tehe world's premier public relations firm, has used spirituality as a guise to shape and control centuries of free thought and evolution. Wadging a war of damnation - its goal being that of the most intimate kind - the annihilation of the human soul When the Cock Crows iconclastically scrapes the corruption, the manipulation, and exposes the evil of a dogma entrenched in exclusion. The film reaffirms that the Christ energy exists in the individual. Spirituality needs no surrogate but asks for and requires direct acess.
