>OTHER CINEMA DVD RELEASES CRAIG BALDWIN'S TRIBULATION 99
>
>(San Francisco, CA) OCD proudly announces the upcoming release of Craig
>Baldwin’s TRIBULATION 99. After years of popular demand, the film will be
>available on DVD November 28, 2006.
>
>Upon its release in 1991, TRIBULATION 99 became an instant counter-culture
>classic. Baldwin’s “pseudo-pseudo-documentary” presents a factual
>chronicle of US intervention in Latin America in the form of the ultimate
>far-right conspiracy theory, combining covert action, environmental
>catastrophe, space aliens, cattle mutilations, killer bees, religious
>prophecy, doomsday diatribes, and just about every other crackpot theory
>broadcast through the dentures of the modern paranoiac.
>
>A delirious vortex of hard truths, deadpan irony, and archival mash-ups –
>industrials, graphs, cartoons, movies from Hollywood B to Mexican Z –
>TRIBULATION 99 constructs a truly perverse vision of American imperialism.
>
>“One of the most exhilarating underground movies in recent years… A
>relentlessly lurid agitprop for the cyberpunk generation.”
>- J. Hoberman, Premiere Magazine
>
>“An unparalleled achievement in wicked social satire.”
>- Michael Atkinson, Film Comment
>
>“Like speed spiked with an LSD chaser!”
>- Manohla Dargis, Village Voice
>
>Also! Two early rarities from Baldwin:
>
>ROCKETKITKONGOKIT: This kaleidoscopic collage-essay traces an alternative
>history of post-colonial Congo, the CIA, and military adventurism.
>
>WILD GUNMAN: A dense montage of cowboy iconography, advertising campaigns
>and pop-culture imagery within an interactive penny-arcade game.
>
