Alex Harder WE HEAR SIRENS (2006, 3 Minutes, Video)
Images from 9/11
"A childhood friend of mine escaped the World Trade Center with his life on 9/11/2001.  This short is culled from what little but rare footage he was able to capture that day.  After some deliberation and time, we both felt that it should be seen in some form.  He entrusted the footage to me.  This is how the film came about.  It is not necessarily a political statement, but images and sounds in memory…"

8:40PM NEWFILMMAKERS FEATURE PRESENTATION

Roger Copeland THE UNRECOVERED (2007, 129 Minutes, Video)
“Roger Copeland's THE UNRECOVERED peels off the protective lid to let out dark thoughts and speculations. Copeland became obsessed by the conspiracy theories and counter-narratives that spidered out of 9/11 (emerging in documentaries such as The Great Deception) and got busy on a fictional treatment. The title THE UNRECOVERED, refers to the bodies that were never recovered at Ground Zero, lives that were never recovered at Ground Zero, lives that were seemingly zapped out of existence in an apocalyptic flash and endure only as ghosts of memory. The whole movie is a haunting, incorporating actual footage of bodies falling from the W.T.C. towers like stricken birds to spook us to a higher recognition of what true shock and awe looks like." - James Wolcott in Vanity Fair
