THE OTHER SIDE and other films

Filmmaker Bill Brown returns to present his latest film THE OTHER SIDE and other films about travel and national identity.

A 2000-mile journey along the U.S./Mexico border reveals a geography of aspiration and insecurity. While documenting the efforts of migrant activists to establish a network of water stations in the borderlands of the southwestern U.S., Brown considers the border as a landscape, at once physical, historical and political.

Brown is an award-winning filmmaker from Lubbock, Texas. He has made several short experimental documentaries, shown all over the world, about the dusty corners of the North American landscape. The Museum of Modern Art hosted a retrospective of Brown's work in 2003 as part of its MediaScope series.

Co-sponsored by the Central New York Programmer's Group, Squeaky Wheel, and the ETC.
