½ — Bottleneck (2014)
Malaakia Brooks-Smith-Lowe's two-minute experimental short was produced in Grenada, a small island nation whose film output is sparse enough that titles like this one rarely circulate beyond festival or academic contexts. The piece sits within a tradition of video art that treats the camera less as a storytelling tool and more as an observational instrument, drawing loose connections between biological processes and political ideas. Grenada's own history, including its 1983 US-led invasion and ongoing questions around regional autonomy within CARICOM, gives border-focused work from that part of the Caribbean a particular charge, even when the chosen form is as modest and oblique as this one.
A-Z World Movie Tour Grenada Supposed to be a commentary on borders. It's a 2 minute long "video" that was basically just a sideshow of stills on the growth of a jar of mungbeans over an unspecific time period. All the while with a gross experimental soundtrack. New candidate for worst film I've ever seen
