- The Public Slaw by Winston Hacking and Andrew Zukerman begins by reclaiming a trailer of DreamWorks 2008 computer-animated action/comedy/martial arts flick Kung Fu Panda. Through emulsion lifting and other forms of emulsion manipulation, the appropriated trailer seems to both denounce DreamWorks' slick computer animation and to explore the materiality of a medium that is being displaced by new modes of digital production. The film itself is a handcrafted, psychedelic journey into a realm that blends the vernacular of found footage experimental cinema, internet culture and public access television; not coincidentally all forms of democratized media. The film is "hosted" by a confused public access Dracula (played by Kevin Leggatt) who introduces the viewers to an onslaught of images including pugs, no budget horror films, collaged images, a news bulletin consisting of a falling cat landing on its feet, among other things, all surrounded by a visual commentary in the form of direct animation.

Unfortunately, one pirate has only pegs for arms, and another is missing both eyes, immediately disqualifying them from the competition.

A battle ensues whereby the two remaining competitors are eliminated by cannon ball fire. The ship escapes destruction and crashes into a small island. The two disabled and disqualified pirates find a treasure chest and inside are prosthetic arms, legs, and eyeballs. Unfortunately their ship has drifted away and the pelican has taken the hat.
