DEATH OF A BUREAUCRAT (1966, 87 mins.)
Directed by Tomas Gutierrez Alea
Alea’s first major film is an entertaining, blackly hilarious attack on galloping bureaucracy, audaciously mixing slapstick farce, paranoid nightmare, and plenty of allusions to classic film comedy. The story tells of a young man’s attempts to disinter and rebury his uncle – a move that lands him at odds with official regulations.

Marla Hlady
Walls

For the past twenty years, objects and sound have played an ongoing and intimate part in the practice of Toronto artist Marla Hlady. Often, a rigorous and seemingly solid sculptural form has been injected with an element of seemingly spontaneous action—which generates its own sound score—as well as pre-recorded sound elements introduced innocuously into fabricated objects. There has often been a duality between the desire to contain and shape sound and motion and the impulse to let it find its own self-actualizing space.
