Being a NYC based group [PAM] would like to start off by apologizing to our readers (editors note: never a good way to start an article) who are more sensitive to this subject matter. However, rarely does a day go by in NYC where there is not 9/11 media and news - most of which sticks to the "official" version of events. However, very quietly there are voices whispering...
[PAM]'s vertical may be video art shorts but we couldn't let this opportunity pass with out spreading the word about the latest viral clip/trailer of a new UK based film called "Pentagon Strike" produced by Signs of the Times. Apparently there is a companion book as well. The flash clip can be downloaded at http://www.pentagonstrike.co.uk/pentagon.html
"Pentagon Strike" seems to be following in the footsteps of a simmilar 9/11 web film called "Loose Change" (now in 2nd edition) which was release a while ago and has been quietly infiltrating people's Bit Torrent queues and or postal drops as it's also available for sale from the Loose Change website. What's interesting is not only the unraveling of the "official" events of 9/11 but also the phenomenon of viral video and direct to web movies. Our guess is as the 9/11 topic finds it's way into film festivals (Tribeca & others) and major Hollywood releases is that it's just a matter of time before Oliver Stone makes another JFK type of film. Conspiracy theories about 9/11 are nothing new, but what is new is how viral the topic is and how electronic and new media are playing a big role in bring the topic to mainstream audiences. Hopefully this time around the history of 9/11 doesn't become "a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma!".
