Jul 07, 2008
John Gianvito, USA, 2007, Digi-BETA, 58 min
Sponsored by Third Eye Cinema
A calm, beautiful and wordless testament to fallen rebels and radicals in American history, from colonial times to the present. The film consists of elegantly composed images of gravesites and public shrines. A monument to monuments and a call to arms, PROFIT MOTIVE visits the resting places of such figures as Malcolm X, Mother Jones, Cesar Chavez and Eugene V. Debs. Winner, Best Experimental Film, 2007, National Society Film Critics.
