"Five hundred years after first European contact, I find myself at the western edge of the continent. It's here, in a secluded part of the coastline that I encounter a series of petroglyphs carved at the water's edge." - Georg Koszulinski
From "the historical vantage point" where the Makah Tribe once observed early Europeans exploring the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the filmmaker considers the drawing of a new kind of map.
A display of a fallen red cedar at Olympic National Park headquarters proclaims in 1349 "Indians live here." TREE BEGINS LIFE INDIANS STILL LIVE HERE produces a meditation on the territories of the First Nations of the Pacific Northwest, and invites an alternative interpretation of U.S. sovereignty over these lands.
Renegade filmmaker Georg Koszulinski takes on Florida's history from a decidedly different point of view. Blending archival and original footage, he brings to life a cast of historical characters spanning over 12,000 years, from Florida's ancient Indians to the migrant farm workers of the 21st century. Meet Osceola and the Seminoles, who fought alongside escaped slaves in the most costly Indian War in American History. Unmask Florida's Ku Klux Klan and don't forget about Walt Disney and Henry Flagler - perhaps the two characters most responsible for the Florida we know today.
In a strange twist of irony, Americans celebrate their independence on the sovereign lands of the Quileute People. An ambient soundscape coupled with the opening shot of an adjoining RV park work in unison to reveal an alien invasion on the shores of Quileute Tribal Lands.
Frankenstein Revisited tells the story of a World War I veteran killed in action only to be brought back from the dead. After a team of scientists reanimate his corpse, they eventually succeed in destroying the monster they've created. But fifty years later, at the height of the Cold War, the monster is brought back to life once again, this time his brain replaced with a CPU, and his memories substituted with the history of the 20th century. But the power of memory proves too powerful for the madmen who would attempt to play God, as the man-turned-machine attempts to destroy his makers once more.
An audio/visual study of Highway 301
The third installment in Koszulinski's Florida trilogy, Last Stop, Flamingo takes one last critical look at the sunshine state. Koszulinski investigates a region defined by imaginary histories and landscapes, from the drained and dredged river known as The Everglades to the man-made white sand beaches that make up Florida's coastline. Early visions of Florida landscapes are revealed, from the early 20th-century Koreshan utopian community, founded by Cyrus Teed in the swamplands of Florida, to the world's largest planned subdivision--Golden Gate Estates--which projected a population of over 400,000 residents. Five-hundred years after Ponce de Leon's discovery of Florida, Koszulinski reflects on the many ways in which Florida's landscapes have been irreversibly shaped by human desires.
"A personal essay film reflecting on the relationships between the Anthropocene, poetry, parenthood, and the history of Alan Moore's 1980's run on the Swamp Thing comic book."
A fictional account of David Koresh’s last words, a cursory analysis of the pantheon of Icelandic sagas, a home movie taking into account 20 years of filming on an old Bolex 16mm camera, a series of reflections on the destructive nature of industrialized societies: a collage film, metaphysical road trip movie in time of pandemic and social uprising. A point-and-shoot epistolary fever dream collage film made in times of multiple crises.
