23rd Psalm Branch: Part I (1966, 44 min.) In this haunting but lyrical meditation on war, Brakhage intercuts 8-mm footage of Colorado with imagery from World War II newsreels. He responds to the violence and nightmare of war by painting directly onto the filmstrip.

Cold-Case Homicides: A Forensic and Behavioral Analysis
Lecture |
|
|
Unlike their television portrayals, cold-case homicides are not easily solved or prosecuted. There are solvability factors that need to be considered when law enforcement decides to resurrect a case for which it had previously run out of leads. Tonight, Mark Safarik (former special FBI agent) explores problems and new solutions for cold-case investigations.
