- The fascinating complexity of high school debate gives way to a portrait of the equally complex racial and class bias of American education in Greg Whiteley's riveting documentary. Initially a portrait of top-flight debaters from well-funded, mostly white schools-like nationally ranked Sam Iola and Matt Andrews of Highland Park, Texas-the film deepens when it changes focus to Richard Funches and Louis Blackwell from Long Beach's Jordan squad. While gifted traditional debaters in their own right, the two decide to challenge the usefulness of the jargon-filled, 400-word-per-minute style of modern debate (known as "the spread") by steering their debates toward issues of personal experience and dialogue. What is the use of refining an argument, they stress, when it does not affect the reality of a person's locale and particular life? Why must individual perspective and bias be masked? For many, these questions present such a radical interpretive shift that competitors and judges crumble in front of them. Contrasting Fuches and Blackwell's attempt to challenge the system with Andrews' relentless pursuit to excel in it and win the prestigious Tournament of Champions, Whiteley deftly explores the disparities between the debaters, their styles, and their resources. Alternately inspiring and polarizing, Resolved reveals a constantly shifting sport that is as much philosophy as competition. - Travis Miles (Los Angeles Film Festival)Votes318

- Francisco Paulino Hermenegildo Teódulo Franco y Bahamonde (4 December 1892 - 20 November 1975), known simply as Francisco Franco was a Spanish military general and head of state of Spain from October 1936 - a unified nation from 1939 onwards - and de facto regent of the nominally restored Kingdom of Spain from 1947 until his death in November 1975. He came to power as a prominent member of the far-right Falange movement. As head of state, Franco used the title Caudillo de España, por la gracia de Dios, meaning Leader of Spain, by the grace of God. Historically speaking, Franco is, today, mostly regarded one-dimensionally: as the brutal, autocratic Fascist dictator, who ruled his land and its people for almost four decades with an iron fist. This point of view, although indeed valid, is yet too analogous. Without euphemising or attempting to minimize the autocratic and suppressive character of the Franco regime and its atrocities, our film seeks to portray that the "Generalissimo", despite his reclusiveness and virtual "invisibility", was a complex and multi-faceted personality full of contradictions. The film does not propose answering all questions of historical context or provide an ultimate political evaluation; nor does it seek to conclusively solve the "Enigma of Franco" for all time. But, based on in-depth examination of existing evidence and painstaking research, it will present many facts hitherto unknown, cast a new light on numerous aspects, while adding fresh, previously unknown, information to much that is already accepted; for example: ... the viewpoints of close family members (daughter, grandson) and former companions of the private man, Francisco Franco; ... highlighting the role that the "Spirit of Francoism" still plays in present day Spain and the underlying question as to whether the extensive tabooing of the Franco era has allowed this spirit to survive longer than would probably have been the case had there been a thorough historic reappraisal. These aspects, among others, and hitherto undisclosed information will enable the viewer to form his own - possibly revised - opinion of Franco. Singular about the author's approach is the fact that, as a Briton living in the US and Spain, he is able to cast a neutral and non-judgmental light on the Franco era and its consequences on present day Spain. No Spanish film-maker could ever make a film of this kind - not even today, more than 35 years after Franco's death: too great is the unexplained taboo with which politics and modern Spanish society have documented this "unpopular" portion of their history ... with the result that most of today's 46 million Spaniards know far too little about this slice of recent history. With suspense and excitement, the film will document the mystery still surrounding the "Franco enigma" - from the perspective of Francisco Franco himself ... "I, Franco".

What is the appropriate reaction? Alarm? Fear? Humor? Inspired by the Federal Emergency Management Agency's 'Resolve to Be Ready' campaign, the performance features coordinated team action that exemplifies possibilities for cooperation in public spaces, while highlighting the ways in which public anxiety is increasingly 'managed' as a public relations exercise.
