Unedited live NY & NJ performance videos by avant, free folk, jazz & experimental artists. From the Mark Dagley video archive, 1999-2020

Although instrumental in discovering actors like Jennifer Lawrence, Vera Farmiga and Thomasin McKenzie, Granik is also known for using local, non-professional actors in her films. "Side by Side" features Donna Bailey, as Bernadette. Bailey at that time was a young aspiring musician who occasionally performed with underground avant pop artist Marianne Nowottny.

Debra Granik started working in film and video in the Boston grassroots media movement in the late 80’s. She studied politics at Brandeis University and her first forays into operating a camera and collaborating on political documentation were with Boston based media groups such as the Women’s Video Collective. While in Boston she had the good fortune to be able to take classes at Mass College of Art, Studio for Interrelated Media, which exposed her to a great variety of film work and traditions. Granik shot and produced educational programs related to workplace health and safety issues for local trade unions and for the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Safety. After clocking considerable time in world of educational media production, she had the chance to work on several long form documentaries by Boston based filmmakers. From there, she moved to NYC to attend New York University’s Graduate Film Program, seeking a way to inter-relate her interest in real-life experience and story structure, which she found in the film tradition of neo-realism, through a mentor at NYU.

In part 2 of Flood & Drought, sustainability expert Dave Stanley explains the correlation between increased flood, drought and chemical farming in the UK.

Modern chemical farming techniques have reduced soil organic matter on Britains farmed land to an alarming low. Rain water speeds off and soil silts up rivers both causing flood and drought.

This short film presented by Femi Taylor is the first in an open ended series of shorts entitled 'Flood & Drought' produced by the VERY magazine team for 'Its Time To Give Back/ITTGB’. Each sequel will show discoveries as to what is happening with our water, land, health, food supply, all right in front of us.

Osman Goring at Coaley Mill, Gloucestershire, gives us an in depth view into this phenomena which is occurring more and more right on our doorsteps in Great Britain. Turns out - the main factors contributing to this 'natural disaster' are... man-made!

Special Thanks go to Water21.org.uk who opened our eyes to the cobweb of crucial information which everyone needs to know.... and we try to dissect in these short films. Everything is linked - one by one the knot unravels.

The UK is seeing a TB epidemic amongst cattle and as well as an increase in human TB cases. TB is a disease of deprivation which only occurs when the immune system is weak. Experiments have shown that with animals being fed a balanced grass diet containing natural vitamins and minerals, the cases of TB disappear. We urgently need an analysis of animal and plant feed – the farming of our food and the effects on our health.
