INTRODUCED BY LISA DILILLO
TONGUES DON'T HAVE BONES: A JOURNEY INTO BURMA

With this disparate collage of landscapes, people, rituals, official sanctioned tourism/propaganda tapes, interviews, and poetry, the filmmaker looks behind the facade fabricated by Burma's current military regime. Prominent in the work is the poetry of Kyi Kaung, whose words reflect on the synchronicity of beauty and terror. 1999-2000, U.S., video, color, 30 minutes.

CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS
Focusing on the relativity of truth, DiLillo based this short video on texts from the "Corrections" sections of the New York Times and Science magazine from January through June 2000. The errors listed range from subjects based on space, time, and religion to those made in the identification of people, opinions, and perceptions. 2000, U.S., video, color, 17 minutes.
