    Surplus: Terrorized Into Being Consumers  Directed by Erik Gandini  52 
 minutes  Consumer confidence has been low since September 11. A quick war 
 against  Iraq was supposed to be the only way to restore that confidence - 
 and our  happiness. But is shopping our salvation? Do we have a choice?  
 SURPLUS is an intense visual odyssey filmed for over three years in eight  
 different countries. From the explosive riot days in Genoa 2001 to $7000  
 sex dolls in the US, SURPLUS explores the destructive nature of consumer  
 culture. Stunning editing and breathtaking cinematography turns the notion  
 that 20% of the world is gobbling up 80% of its resources from pure  
 statistics into an overwhelming emotional experience.  The world was 
 shocked when young protesters in Seattle, Genoa and  Gothenburg attacked 
 shop windows, cars and banks. SURPLUS sets off on a  world journey seeking 
 the answer to the question: why is the lifestyle of  consumerism a source 
 of such rage today? Against a familiar backdrop of  cynical world leaders, 
 corporate captains and Microsoft fanatics, the film  focuses on the 
 controversial anarchist writer John Zerzan, whose  call for property damage 
 has inspired many to take to the streets.  
 http://www.atmo.se/?pageID=4&articleID=382  Bamboozled  Directed by Spike 
 Lee  135 minutes  A blistering satire of network television's pitfalls and 
 prejudices, and a humorous look at how race, ratings and the pursuit of 
 power lead to a television writer's stunning rise and tragic downfall. 
 Harvard-educated writer Pierre Delacroix (Damon Wayans), the only black 
 employee on the staff of a struggling television network, suggests the most 
 absurd idea for a pilot that he can possibly imagine, hoping it will 
 convince his tyrannical boss, Dunwitty (Michael Rapaport), to terminate his 
 contract and fire him. The hook: instead of white actors in black face, the 
 show stars black actors in even blacker face.
