This hour long program of shorts from New York comes at a politically charged time as evidenced in particular by Sheryl Oring's 'I wish to Say' a short documentary made by the Washington Post in which Oring invites passers by to dictate to her a letter to President Bush articulating their feelings about his administration which she types and posts .. From the political to the ridiculous the Neistat Brothers entertain us with seven minutes of Jackass type antics .. Cheryl Dunn's Bicycle Gangs of New York takes a fresh look at the bicycle gangs of new york currently taking over the streets in the Critical Mass runs which have also become politicised .. Simon Reilly's A Nation Once Again paints a portrait of the subways, and indirectly comments on the changes in society here in that filming in the subways is no longer permitted .. Cecilie Dahl's Clothes for a Summer Hotel explores the nature and identity of a human being, feminism and voyeurism .. Xavi Marrades and others ..
