Trama:
Filmada en St. Helens, Oregon, este drama-comedia gira en torno a la
refinada Anne, una joven mujer que obligada por las circunstancias
trabaja en una tienda de material fotografico. Anne entra en una
profunda crisis emocional cuando su amado, un corresposal extranjero
destinado en Europa del Este, la deja por telefono. Este hecho, unido a
sus pocas ilusiones en la vida, le llevan a intentar suicidarse, aunque
sin la suficiente determinacion, con lo que fracasa en su tentativa.
Anne se da cuenta de que necesita ayuda y contacta mediante un telefono
de ayuda con Don, un personaje tambien con pocas aspiraciones en la
vida. Sin embargo, algo en la voz de Anne despierta el amor en Don, que
inicia un acercamiento a ella sin ni siquiera apenas conocerla.
Mientras tanto, Anne se dedica a hacer una serie de videos sensibleros
en los que intenta explicarse a si misma, para enviarlos a su amado, en
un intento de recuperarlo. La situacion se complica aun mas cuando
Paul, el repartidor de la tienda que siente una produnda admiracion por
Anne, se queda con los videos.
Synopsis:
Filmed in St. Helens, Oregon, this comedy-drama centers on highly
educated Anne, a young woman forced by circumstance to work in a
photographic equipment store. Poor Anne goes into a terrible funk after
her lover, a foreign correspondent assigned to Eastern Europe, dumps her
via telephone. This, on top her general disillusionment with her current
life, drives Anne to attempt suicide. She wasn't terribly serious about
it an survives. Realizing she needs help, Anne calls a suicide hot-line
and begins talking to Don, a slightly older fellow with few goals and
aspirations who works in real estate for his father. Don has worked the
Hope Line for many years and nothing really surprises or even interests
him anymore, but when Anne calls, something about her touches him. He
inadvertently learns her identity and launches a tentative romance with
her, even though she doesn't know exactly who he is. Meanwhile Anne
makes a maudlin series of video-tapes to send to her lover in hopes of
explaining herself to him. Unbeknownst to her, the videos are grabbed
and kept by Paul, the delivery boy who has a secret crush upon her.

http://www.stanford.edu/group/Synergy/
Synergy Political Films 2000 presents:
In the spirit of the confusion coming out of Flordia,
"The Search for Signs of Inteligent Life in the Universe"
- 1991, Lily Tomlin
Clever re-creation of Lily Tomlin's 1985 one-woman Broadway show. Her
characterizations run the gamut from bag lady (narrating the proceedings)
to teen punk to New Age Woman, with much of the material in a feminist
vein. Written by longtime Tomlin collaborator Jane Wagner. (The title is
misspelled on purpose.)
See you there!
----------------------
- What is SPF?
----------------------
"Synergy Political Films" is a series of "politically" aware films
held Thursday nights from now until the end of time, (the series
began in 1999). We use the term "politics" very broadly here.
Essentially, all the works to be shown here explore and challenge
many important issues in life and society: personal freedom,
feminism, labor-rights, activism, ethnicity, music, art, revolution,
war, peace, etc. etc. All of which, in terms of activism, can easily
take on a "political" slant as they move from the private sphere to
the public.

ABSTRACT
Hearing aid technology has advanced rapidly over the past two decades in both
the electronic and cosmetic aspects. Technological advances have resulted in
a range of innovative products from miniature canal hearing aids to middle ear
implants. Despite these advances, industry reports indicate that market
penetration has declined during the same period of time. This presentation
examines some of the limitations of current technology in relation to the
psychoacoustic characteristics and needs of the hearing impaired. Fundamental
issues in hearing aid design will be reviewed as well as paradoxical design
constraints facing hearing aid engineers. An audio demonstration of various
electroacoustic effects will be presented. New directions in hearing aid
developments will also be discussed, time permitting.
BIOGRAPHY
Adnan Shennib, President & Founder of InSonus Medical, is an executive with 15
years experience in start-up and technical management of medical device
companies. Mr. Shennib developed key technologies and over 25 inventions for
local Bay Area firms including ReSound Corp. and Decibel Instruments, Inc.
More recently, he founded InSonus Medical, Inc., a venture-backed firm
developing the world's smallest hearing aid products weighing less than 1
gram. These totally invisible and minimally invasive products combine implant
technology with high fidelity audio to produce ultra-low power hearing aids
for extended wear. Mr. Shennib holds a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and an
M.S. in Biomedical Engineering.

CAN JAPAN CHANGE? IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM IN JAPAN REAL?
Takeshi Isayama
Visiting Scholar, Asia/Pacific Research Center
Former Commissioner, Japanese Patent Office, MITI
Throughout the 90s, Japan muddled through restructuring its economic vitality and social flexibility to cope with an advent of a new era. Represented by the IT Revolution, the new era has changed existing legal frameworks, business practices and socioeconomic traditions worldwide.
Against this backdrop, Japan has embarked, though belatedly, on various reforms including Administrative Reform. Can these efforts succeed? Can Japanese bureaucrats change Japan? Or who else will change Japan and what will be an agenda for the newly born Japan?
Takeshi Isayama is a former Japanese government official with the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI). While at MITI, he was responsible for drafting and implementing international trade policy including intellectual property policy serving as the Commissioner of the Japanese Patent Office and the Director-General of several bureaus including the International Trade Policy bureau during the Hashimoto and Obuchi administrations (1995-1999). He graduated from Tokyo University in 1967 with a Bachelor of Law degree and received his MPA from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in 1971. After graduating from Tokyo University, he joined MITI in 1967.

Trama:
Filmada en St. Helens, Oregon, este drama-comedia gira en torno a la
refinada Anne, una joven mujer que obligada por las circunstancias
trabaja en una tienda de material fotografico. Anne entra en una
profunda crisis emocional cuando su amado, un corresposal extranjero
destinado en Europa del Este, la deja por telefono. Este hecho, unido a
sus pocas ilusiones en la vida, le llevan a intentar suicidarse, aunque
sin la suficiente determinacion, con lo que fracasa en su tentativa.
Anne se da cuenta de que necesita ayuda y contacta mediante un telefono
de ayuda con Don, un personaje tambien con pocas aspiraciones en la
vida. Sin embargo, algo en la voz de Anne despierta el amor en Don, que
inicia un acercamiento a ella sin ni siquiera apenas conocerla.
Mientras tanto, Anne se dedica a hacer una serie de videos sensibleros
en los que intenta explicarse a si misma, para enviarlos a su amado, en
un intento de recuperarlo. La situacion se complica aun mas cuando
Paul, el repartidor de la tienda que siente una produnda admiracion por
Anne, se queda con los videos.
Synopsis:
Filmed in St. Helens, Oregon, this comedy-drama centers on highly
educated Anne, a young woman forced by circumstance to work in a
photographic equipment store. Poor Anne goes into a terrible funk after
her lover, a foreign correspondent assigned to Eastern Europe, dumps her
via telephone. This, on top her general disillusionment with her current
life, drives Anne to attempt suicide. She wasn't terribly serious about
it an survives. Realizing she needs help, Anne calls a suicide hot-line
and begins talking to Don, a slightly older fellow with few goals and
aspirations who works in real estate for his father. Don has worked the
Hope Line for many years and nothing really surprises or even interests
him anymore, but when Anne calls, something about her touches him. He
inadvertently learns her identity and launches a tentative romance with
her, even though she doesn't know exactly who he is. Meanwhile Anne
makes a maudlin series of video-tapes to send to her lover in hopes of
explaining herself to him. Unbeknownst to her, the videos are grabbed
and kept by Paul, the delivery boy who has a secret crush upon her.
