Local video collective Termite TV offers up the latest serving of its Life Size Action Pictures — half-hour "shows" oriented around specific themes — with the Basics Trilogy (featuring "Water," "Food," "Shelter"). This event marks the first time Termite has invaded NoLibs' Media Bureau, and it's somewhat of a nontraditional venue, which explains the structure. Besides the shows themselves, Termite TV presents a larger "trilogy" of events. In the café, there will be spoken word performances by local high-schoolers; in the gallery, exhibitions of painting and photography; and in the screening room, the Action Pictures themselves. The shows are funny, but also deeply serious, and often unbelievably moving. It's impressive: making audiences see the injustice in our handling of humankind's basic needs while simultaneously celebrating the power and wonder wrapped up in something as simple as a meal, a river and a home.
