‘The Masters of The Media’ is the first short animated documentary in the ‘This is Propaganda Series’. It analyses monopolization in the Media Industry. In western society the most valuable product is information. Based on information we decide who to vote for and what to buy. The companies that deliver it are therefore extremely powerful and influential. More companies means more sides to story. But their number is decreasing rapidly.

This film is a vertiginous voyage about the impermanence and evolution of the relative value of things through certain lapses, spaces, ideas, conditions, beings and objects; our attachment to them, to life, their way to the end, to their rebirth, to their transformation.

Paradise East by Nick Taylor (US)

In attendance of the director

Paradise East is a dark comedy about a desperately dysfunctional, lower middle class family, fiercely struggling to make it in the twentieth century. Lucky, not your typical dad, runs a coffee shop and has a difficult time dealing with the idiosyncrasies of his two sons. Ernie, the oldest, is a wannabe pimp and street hustler forever searching for the perfect angle. Chip, the baby, is unemployed with a passion for french fries and underaged girls. He is forever starting grease-fires in the kitchen, driving his father completely up the wall. David, Lucky’s fairhaired nephew, is somewhat normal and the Marilyn Minster of the group. A drifter in between jobs, he’s been dealing, unsuccessfully, with the fact that his mother was recently murdered. Enter Jane, the luscious older woman who is renting an apartment from David. She is in a relationship with Lisa, a beautiful college girl, but is also deeply interested in her troubled landlord. Life is good….
