These films and videos situate sexual desire and death as part of our physical surroundings. Sexual desire is an integral part of the universe, grows out of the landscape we live in, politics inexorably wound up in the journey, and death entwined with desire.

This short film program includes the following films:
A Cosmic Demonstration Of Sexuality
A Cosmic Demonstration of Sexuality is a humorous yet serious investigation of the similarities between women's sexuality and cosmic structure. Interviews of five women regarding fundamental aspects of their sexuality (menstruation, masturbation, ejaculation, etc.) are inter cut with images ranging from the moon and far way galaxies to cells and dna in order to impart the notion that our sexuality might connect us with more than just our sex partner(s) or our right hands.
Geography Of The Imagination
A chronicle of the examined life, using metaphors from geography, language, literature, music and film. It asks if we can imagine the important things that shape us.
I Like Dreaming
Cruising on a subway platform. Is he straight? Or straight-acting, straight-appearing?
A Journey/Ein Reise
Paixao Nacional
A twenty-year-old Brazilian man flees his country by hiding in the luggage hold of a plane where he freezes to death. His last memory is interwoven with the diary notes of a traveller through Northern Brazil.
Memento Mori
MEMENTO MORI tells about death .... It surpasses the formal inventory of feature film cinema to develop its own narrative structure as a filmic poem. ... [He] chooses ... Cinemascope–not as a visual gag, but as a necessary means to communicate his visual motives. ... [W]hen Hubbard shows a skull, or his friend in front of a still life, or a woman cleaning a room, he does not ... juggle with metaphors and symbols, but shows ... what lies behind the symbolic connotations of the images on screen: What is it like when a body doesn't move anymore? How does it feel –the ashes of the dead or the soil which covers a corpse?
