Frank Craven GROUND ZERO (2006, 28 Minutes, Video) Was it a Reichstag fire?  An alternative view of 9/11.   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  And Next Week see Anne Norda RED IS THE COLOR OF and Kerry Dye & Jordan Hoffman BODY / ANTIBODY
