SCANNERS: THE 2006 NEW YORK VIDEO FESTIVAL-JULY 26-30-BELIEVE THE HYPE- THE BEST WHO EVER DID IT-SPECIAL GUEST HYPE WILLIAMS!
Scanners: The 2006 New York Video FestivalJuly 26 – 30A co-presentation of the Film Society and Lincoln Center Festival 20062006 marks the fifteenth time the Film Society has celebrated what’s new in new media. The name may have changed (more than once), but that’s because the media itself is ever-changing and evolving. This year we’re presenting interactive work as performance, as well as a computer-created couple who will answer your questions live and in real time! Lots of live music is on tap in two different programs, but no rock concert here; we’ve got great collaborations between musicians and media artists. And watch for animation in multiple programs and in various styles, from new anime to a look at the work of animator extraordinaire John Canemaker. Of course it wouldn’t be summer if Armond White wasn’t taking the stage — this year he’ll riff on the hype surrounding Hype Williams and his music videos. Throughout these five days, you will be seeing many faces familiar to our audiences (George Kuchar, Tom Kalin, Diane Nerwen, Torsten Zenas Burns, Donigan Cumming.BELIEVE THE HYPE: AN AUTEUR STUDY OF HYPE WILLIAMS “THE BEST WHO EVER DID IT.”Series: Scanners: The 2006 New York Video Festival [July 26 – 30 2006]Country: USA, Runtime: 90 Hype Williams may be the most consistently inventive director of music videos. In this year’s presentation, Armond White presents the evidence. Since the early 90s Williams has put a face to hiphop culture, creating pop iconography that has been more influential than any other filmmaker in the genre. Williams’ intense color, spatial dimensions and his more recent experiments in composition and form have won acclaim as both the Irving Penn and the Romare Bearden of music video. Above all, he’s Hype — “The Best Who Ever Did It.” In an unusual approach, White offers the first in-depth auteur study of a music video artist, exploring Williams’ early work, career highlights, his collaborations with artists including Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes and featuring a special analysis of Williams’ radically re-imagined split-screen montage. Or: Eisenstein goes Bop.

While most Hollywood films about the war are interested in the trials of white male protagonist's individual will and morality in the "heart of darkness," Tran portrays the irreversible psychic and physical refractions of a war on a collective people.
