DESCRIPTION:'DIS-ORIENTED': HONG + CHEN + LIGON +  \nOur program exploits the 
 contradictions between and within various and varying official histories of 
 China, Japan, and the US. Featured in this mortal combat between 
 propaganda, political fantasy, and critique, is the world premiere of "731: 
 Two Versions of Hell", a 27 min. master-stroke of (re)deconstruction, 
 crafted by Goldie awardee James Hong and collaborator Yin-Ju Chen. This 
 ingenious ideological puzzle takes as its subject the infamous Japanese 
 military lab (731) that housed experiments using Chinese prisoners as live 
 guinea pigs. This inquiry into the construction of History serves as 
 healthy response to the blatantly racist and nationalistic 'war 
 information' films (16mm) that open the show ("Why We Fight", "My Japan", 
 "Our Job in Japan").\nA similar service is performed by JD Ligon’s "Ha Ha 
 Ha America", a provocative skewering of assumptions about China vs. US 
 global supremacy and pride. $5.\n\n
