These three experimental documentaries from Bill Brown, shot beautifully on real film, represent his observations and narratives of past, present, and future in a manner that is informative without being totally detached. The Other Side explores U.S.–Mexico immigration issues and the activist groups that supply water and rides to people crossing the border who are stranded or lost in the desert. Hub City is a short about Lubbock, Texas—the home of Buddy Holly and trajectories of death and small towns. AA Trailer is a goofy short about the joy of filmmaking for the Ann Arbor Film Festival.
