	1988 Black Maria Film + Video Festival Essay
		There is of course the immense industry which makes film for profit, and there are droves of young people seeking a place in that industry; some of them even try to break in by making films on their own.
		The predicament of the film-maker with a vision of the medium as a high art is so complex and poignant today that we have to understand at least forty years of a continuous tradition to grasp the issues such an artist faces.
		No one could have predicted the need for lightweight 16mm film technology that was part of the war economy and which the Americans of the Forties were the first to adapt to artistic ends.

	A Short History of Korean Film
		Although accomplished films continued to be made up until the end of the decade, such restrictive policies would ultimately have a severe effect on the industry's creative development.
		This film -- the tale of a manipulative housemaid who seduces her master -- transgresses the laws of contemporary cinema to the same extent that its heroine tears apart the Confucian order of her household.
		Told through the perspective of a young girl, the film portrays the struggles of a young widow who falls in love with her tenant, but cannot express her feelings due to a restrictive social code.

		Krysztof Kieslowski’s A Short Film About Love was expanded from one of the most lyrical episodes in Dekalog, his celebrated cycle of short films based on the Ten Commandments.
		As he did with Dekalog 5 (which was extended to A Short Film About Killing) Kieslowski extended the sixth episode of his influential Polish TV series into this intriguing study of voyeurism and repressed emotions.
		These ten films are available over two sets, and remain some of the most potent films I've ever had the pleasure to see & that I think would appeal to anyone.

		Trivia: This was one of the first Japanese anime films to have the character's voices recorded before they were animated.
		While this is the typical practice in U.S. animation, in Japan the animation is generally produced first.
		Visually impressive, solid direction, with a compelling story (if a little complicated), just the right amount of character development, good and very appropriate soundtrack and an extensively detailed New Tokyo, Akira manages to be as groundbreaking as it was when it was first released.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Twins (1988)
		At the time, Arnold Schwarzenegger being in a comedy was an intriguing idea, and making him Danny DeVito's twin was so far-fetched and silly, it was almost an intuitive premise to come up with.
		The film itself, directed by Ivan Reitman, doesn't live up to what it promises, however, although it comes close.
		In typical Reitman style, the film is pleasantly funny, even the parts with badguys and gangsters and so forth, but not especially inventive or memorable.

	The Nick Schager Film Project: Prison (1988): C- (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		A mean ol' warden named Sharpe (Lane Smith) executed an innocent man and then covered it up thirty years ago; now, he's been assigned to oversee the very prison (not used since the '50s) in which the crime was committed.
		There's a debate early on over whether prisons' objectives should be punitive or reformative, and the film's plot certainly can be seen as an anti-capital punishment screed.
		But please, don't go looking to Prison for intellectual stimulation, since it is, at heart, nothing more than an '80s horror film in which staging gruesome deaths becomes a lame substitute for creating tension and eeriness.

	Final Justice (1988)
		Lee is a maverick cop who “breaks all the rules!™” Despite his stellar record and cool shades, he’s somewhat of an outcast in the squad room due to the meddling of the new chief inspector, who's seriously anal-retentive.
		Still, the heart of the picture is the relationship between Lee and Chow, who slowly grows to trust him.
		The film has decent action and is fairly enjoyable, but it is still mostly formula.

		A Short Film about Love is the feature length version of a film in Kieslowski's Decalogue.
		In fact, the style provides at least as much to the narrative in the sequence as the actual on-screen action (of which there is little).
		Despite being the last sequence of the film, the sequence does not provide a conclusion, leaving a powerful and open ending.
