SUBCONSCIOUS ART OF GRAFFITI REMOVAL by MATT McCORMICK

'From Tugboats To Polar Bears' (a collection of short films) is an Indie-Doc from 2002 by Portland filmmaker Matt McCormick, combining original sounds with abstract observations of contemporary culture.
"Towlines" explores the role of the tugboat in modern society; "American Nutria" examines the plight of a species imported to our shores and now reviled; "The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal" observes how destroying one art form creates another; "The Vyrotonin Decision" reflects on some of advertising's most embarrassing moments.
McCormick received the Golden Gate award in '02 for Best Short Film.
