Touristic intents [videorecording] / by Rappaport, Mat,film director,executive producer.; Hardin, Ted(Producer),film producer.; Baranowski, Shelley,on-screen participant.; Bering, Axel,on-screen participant.; First Run Features (Firm),publisher.(CARDINAL)356877;
Director of photography, Ted Hardin; editor, Andrew Henke; music by Oval.Shelley Baranowski, Axel Bering.Touristic Intents explores the complex interplay between mass tourism and political ideology through the story of Prora, a colossal Nazi resort on Germany's Baltic Sea. Construction began in 1936 to build this 3-mile-long structure, which would accommodate 20,000 vacationing Germans -- and serve as a powerful propaganda tool to enhance support of the Nazi regime. But it was never completed. After the war, the GDR (East Germany's Socialist government) used it for military purposes and to incarcerate (house?) conscientious objectors. Today, as Prora undergoes transformation into a modern vacation hub, the film raises provocative questions about the enduring influence of architecture on political memory and national identity, challenging viewers to consider the responsibilities in preserving a building's contentious history.Closed captioning in English.DVD, wide screen.

The secret architecture of our nation's capital : the Masons and the building of Washington, D.C. / by Ovason, David.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 393-465) and index.Today, there are more than twenty complete zodiacs in Washington, D.C., each one pointing to an extraordinary mystery. David Ovason, who has studied these astrological devices for ten years, now reveals why they have been placed in such abundance in the center of our nation's capital and explains their interconnections. His richly illustrated text tells the story of how Washington, from its foundation in 1791, was linked with the zodiac, with the meaning of certain stars, and with a hidden cosmological symbolism that he uncovers here for the first time.
