The Deepwater Horizon oil explosion of 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico is well-known as one of the largest environmental disasters in history. But what is not well-known is that BP, along with approval by the United States government, attempted to sink the oil in the water and hide it from view rather than clean it up, using the controversial chemical dispersant Corexit. After spraying tons of the chemical throughout the ocean, BP then covered up the practice. Estimates are that 75% of the oil, or 150 million gallons, are still unaccounted for. When filmmaker James Fox learned of this, he began a three year investigation, to get to the bottom about the dispersant use and the coverup. Pretty Slick questions whether public safety and environmental health took a backseat to restoring the tourist-based economy, and exposes the symbiosis between big oil and the United States.

Adrift is a short film that explores the phenomenon of space junk, where human-made objects launched into space and are now defunct orbit the Earth literally as garbage. The film makes visible some of the immediate impacts and dangers of the technological escalation of this culture, where old satellites, spent rocket stages, and other items orbit the Earth, only to collide with one another at high velocities, generating smaller fragments that collide with other items, and so on. The end point is a cascading complex of junk that engulfs the entire space around the Earth. Adrift aims to make this phenomenon visible, putting a big question mark against the claims made by many futurists and technologists that future space colonisation would even be possible, if only it were a tenable or sensible idea in the first place...
