The Backyard
West Coast Premiere

Directed by Paul Hough
80min

In Attendance
Paul Houg and The Lizard

Paul Hough's THE BACKYARD is an utterly compelling, visceral look at the subculture of backyard wrestling that most Americans and many wrestling fans in particular would prefer not exist. With a keen, observant eye, Hough takes a close up look at the cockeyed world of these masochistic performers and their families and friends who support them. Brutally honest, THE BACKYARD is as haunting and memorable as any film you're likely to see this year. This is the real Fight Club. (Barry Blaustein)

Cyberman

Directed by
Peter Lynch
85min, Canada

From 1994 to 1996 Steve Mann streamed live video directly onto the Internet from a small device that was mounted on his head. This documentary delves into the various twists on reality that occur when broadcasting one's life via such equipment and chronicles one man's obsession with surveillance, memory, and technology. From an encounter with legendary cyberpunk author William Gibson in a shopping mall to a lesson in the corporal joys of swimming, Peter Lynch explores the mind-altering, sometimes contradictory universe of a self-proclaimed Cyber Luddite.
