Babakiueria
DON FEATHERSTONE (AUSTRALIA 1986, VIDEO, 30:00 MIN)
Babakiueria (“Barbecue Area”) is light-hearted satire that reverses the roles and shows how a fleet of aboriginals settles in an area inhabited by white natives.
Farewell, Good Brothers
ROBERT STONE (USA 1992, 16MM, 77:00 MIN)
Interviews with the first generation of modern American UFO contactees, who in the 1940’s preached the coming age of enlightenment and peace under the guidance of the beneficent space brothers. They had to retreat to being the keepers of obscure inventions, religions, and instruction manuals when their good news was ignored by a less mature public that was more interested in monsters and hysteria.
