"NIGERIA by Chuck Hudina uses found footage about that country to create a highly effective silent piece whose grainy, funky texture seems at times like a transmission struggling to break through from another dimension. A succession of murky images alternates between improbabilities, such as witch-doctor masks, unsuccessful rocket launchings, white big-game hunters, tropical fish, a foundering oceanliner, natives in tribal rites and brief newsreel footage of Queen Elizabeth, maneuvered so as to seem highly perturbed at the scroll of images just past." - Calvin Ahlgren, San Francisco Chronicle
