:: RORY FIELDING - Director Kevin Napier - 6 mins (US) ::
Clever and well-acted Woody Allen- esque film presented in colour and B/W. Based on an original and hilarious premise, it is full of witty self-deprecating dialogue and well- judged performances. Think Zelig and you're almost there.

:: STILL ELIZA - Director Matthew Walters - 1 min ::
Horrible Sci Fi horror about alien possession from Matthew Walters, the Welsh Bard of Comedy. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

:: THE FINAL RESOLUTION - Directors Brent Katz & Gregg Simon - 14 mins (US) ::
In this powerful, big budget short set In 1970's America, an elderly Holocaust survivor is dozing in the lounge of a cross-country train. He awakes to find a well-dressed gentleman seated opposite - a man he recognizes as the Nazi officer who killed his wife during World War II. While recalling the dreadful events surrounding his wife's death, he conceives of a plan to avenge the murder that has haunted him for over thirty years.

Since October 2004, artist Ben Wilson has been practicing a new art form in High Barnet, North London.

:: WIZ RETROSPECTIVE: FOUR MUSIC VIDEOS AND A DOCUMENTARY ::
Four superb music videos plus an uplifting documentary about the battle between individual rights and corporate excess.

:: CHEMICAL BROTHERS - 'OUT OF CONTROL' - 3 mins (1999) ::
Cops in riot gear track a revolutionary through an embattled barrio. But his guerrilla girl saves the day by refreshing him with a sexy soda break until it's time to drop the bomb on the cops. All hell breaks loose, life becomes a TV commercial and then becomes a cathartic act of vandalism. Visually and sonically, it's an absolute riot. Review courtesy 'iFilm'

:: MARILYN MANSON - 'FIGHT SONG' - 3 mins (2002) ::
'I'm 45, a father of two, a self made business man. I'm not the drugged out, death crazed kid that the Fascist Right Wing media try to claim is the Marilyn Manson fan. Manson saves us from yet more mindless fluff from the likes of Maria Carey, Britney Spears, 911, Boyzone, or whatever band of talentless, uncontroversial group of actors stamped out by the Corporate Cookie Cutter this week. Manson tells it like it is. I'll take his view of the world over any sick politician who 'defends our country' by dropping bombs on innocent civilians and who's only crime is to live in a place where there's a lot of oil. Rock on!' Review courtesy 'Sing365.com'

:: DAYLIGHT ROBBERY - Director WIZ - 4 mins ::
Highly personal and amusing film telling the story of how the wall of WIZ's flat was covered by a huge Microsoft poster while he was away, including his windows (!) - and what he did to fix the problem. Worth seeing for the shot of Bill Gates getting a custard pie in his face.

:: MELANIE G - 'WORD UP' - 4 mins (1999) ::
'Mel G takes the old Cameo classic and swaps its big red codpiece for a skintight PVC catsuit, dragging it into late 90s Missy Eliott territory in the process. Backed up with a video so deviantly scary it would make Baby Spice run off to her mum, Word Up reinforces her position as the premier Solo Spice, just managing to edge out the big diva sounds emanating from a certain Miss Haliwell.' Review by 'Headcleaner' at web.ukonline.co.uk

:: OASIS - 'STOP CRYING YOUR HEART OUT' - 5 mins (2002) ::
'Fuck! How easily Oasis should be critically dissected in mere handfuls of unkind adjectives and sprinkled Beatles references. And how embarrassingly plod-rock have the most famously eye-browed brothers in music become over their last few offerings? From reliably rock 'n' roll, they've morphed into a laughably derivative circus with maximum bravado and minimum tunes. And there's no Definitely Maybe about that.

'How does Stop Crying Your Heart Out fit into all of this? Well forget momentarily that you won't find such a startling lack of originality this side of Ocean-fucking-Colour Scene. Because the second single from upcoming make-or-break opus 'Heathen Chemistry' is memorable, anthemic, bathed in laddish emotion and wouldn't sound out of place alongside anything from the afore-mentioned celebrated debut album. Which could be because the chorus is so close to that of Slide Away that fans the world over will be made to look foolish in botched attempts to sing along. Like corrupt politicians and income tax, Oasis will seemingly always exist. Better get used to them then.' Review courtesy 'Drowned In Sound'

Oh, well, you can't win them all. Great video, though.

:: A PROPER CHARLIE - Directors Alistair Lock & Doug Devaney - 9 mins ::
Now that the Lib Dems have a new leader, this is the perfect time to show Resident Alien's first film, a clever satire about a recently unemployed Charles Kennedy professional look-alike. But times change and so do people in the news...funny how much Charlie resembles Johnny (Vegas).

:: GOD LAUGHING - Director Leo Sedgley - 14 mins ::
