Who is Bozo Texino? by Bill Daniel - 56 min.

Daniel's gritty black and white film uncovers a secret society and its
underground universe of hobo and railworker graffiti, and includes
interviews with legendary boxcar artists, Coaltrain, Herby, Colossus of
Roads, and The Rambler. Shooting over a 16-year period, Daniel rode
freights across the West carrying a Super-8 sound camera and a 16mm Bolex.
During his quest he discovered the roots of a folkloric tradition that has
gone mostly unnoticed for a century.

Shelter: a Squatumentary by Hannah E. Dobbz - 46 min.

With universally skyrocketing property values, rent and home-ownership have
become unaffordable at best and impossible at worst. Thus, people all over
the world continue a long tradition of circumventing the expensive price tag
and reclaiming this basic human right by squatting. Shelter: a Squatumentary
is a documentary film that explores the squatting movement in the (San
Francisco) East Bay from 2004 to 2007. We follow three examples of the
struggle for housing in an unaffordable marketplace such as the San
Francisco Bay Area. Hellarity House, Banana House, and Power Machine are
stories of squatters who have found one tentative solution to the ongoing
housing crisis.
