Stéphan Oriach's production company Myriapodus Films presents the independent documentary Orlan - Carnal Art, a portrait of the hardcore French artist Orlan. Using her own body as a medium, Orlan is the creator and leader of the carnal art movement, which seeks to put surgical body modification in the realm of public debate. Since 1991, she has been staging her surgeries as performance art and purposefully altering her own body based on classical Western images of beauty and her own imagination. Oriach's film presents the evolution of Orlan over several performances/operations, along with some news footage and interview segments. Orlan - Carnal Art was screened at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Veteran CBS and ABC news correspondent Connie Chung joined the cable TV brigade in this nightly 60-minute effort by CNN to topple the ratings supremacy of the Fox News Channel. Focusing on both big and small news events, Connie Chung Tonight was scheduled directly opposite Fox's biggest attraction, Bill O'Reilly, a fact that drew both praise and gentle admonition from the estimable Mr. O'Reilly. Wasting no time in courting controversy, Chung opened her series by interviewing the hapless 28-year-old Milwaukeean who landed in hot water with the police after confidentially confessing his obsession with little girls to advice columnist "Dear Abby." Debuting June 24, 2002, Connie Chung Tonight drew only a third of Bill O'Reilly's audience, despite the huge hype given the series by CNN. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
