The independent Oak Street Cinema in Minneapolis begins the Northern Lights Film Festival tonight with a program that includes an independent documentary on independent candidates at the 1996 New Hampshire Presidential primary. "Subdue the Universe," by local filmmakers James Taylor, Brian Standing, and Matt Ehling, works on at least three levels. As independents themselves, they bring a certain attitude to their look at third party candidates. As citizens interested in the political process, they bring an edge to their examination of the voting public.
