Matthew Barney's legendary CREMASTER CYCLE was hailed by the
New York Times as "An inspired benchmark of ambition,
scope and forthright provocation for art in the new century."
Nine years in the making, the five films that comprise the
CREMASTER CYCLE came to a brilliant grand finale with a spectacular
sequence at the close of CREMASTER 3 called THE ORDER. In
THE ORDER, a death-defying race to the top of the Guggenheim
Museum, Matthew Barney is a tartan-clad apprentice seeking
Masonic redemption. Before taking on legendary sculptor Richard
Serra, who tosses molten Vaseline down the Guggenheim's ramps,
Barney must bypass a troupe of tap-dancing girlscouts, a pair
of dueling hardcore bands, a ravishing model who transforms
herself into a cheetah, and a cabor toss with a flayed ram
in a dizzying mirror to the artist's fantastical CREMASTER
CYCLE

In
April 1999 William Gibson, the writer who couned the
word "cyberspace", steps into a limousine
packed with digital media and sets off on a road trip

an account of Gibson's life and work and a commentary
on the world outside the car windows: the landscape

change, which grows to resemble Gibson's fiction more
each passing year.

Overview:
|
By
openly exceeding the borders of the acceptable, the
idealistic filmmaker Cyrus Frisch hopes the stream of
violence and misery on television will finally come
to an end. The praise he gained after the fist screening
of brutal scenes with social outcasts he filmed, made
him outrageous. The director sells himself to the devil
and goes even further in the abuse of his protagonists.
How long can the viewer stay a passive accomplice?

Finally, there's an animation
festival with the artists themselves at the helm. Following
the critically acclaimed theatrical tour of The Animation
Show we bring you The Animation Show Volume One on DVD! Kicking
off in the spring of 2004, The Animation Show Volume One is
a collection of the best animated short films from around
the world, personally programmed by co-producers Mike Judge
(Office Space, and King of the Hill) and Academy Award nominated
animator Don Hertzfeldt. This year’s DVD line-up spans
eight countries, featuring everything from 2003 Academy Award
winner Adam Elliot’s three claymation films Brother,
Cousin, and Uncle to the very latest in computer animation
- with four recent Academy Award nominees (including Mt Head,
The Rocks, Fifty Percent Grey, and The Cathedral), brand new
films from Mike and Don, plus extra surprises. Never before
has such a visually stunning and hilarious collection of animation
been gathered together in one program. Each year the Animation
Show plans to follow its new theatrical tour with a DVD compilation
packed with award winning animation from around the world.
Starting with this first volume Mike and Don have asked the
filmmakers involved to share insight into their individual
technique with an amazing assortment of special features.
This is the first animated compilation to take such an indepth
look into the inner workings of so many great filmmakers.
There is an enormous surplus of great animation that rarely
sees wide distribution or exposure. This DVD series will function
to spotlight these hidden classics as well as showcase older
animation greats that have yet to find their way to DVD. The
Animation Show has put together a new ongoing volume of work
that will catalog the greatest animation created and present
this work to movie goers and animation fans for years to come. |

"It's
almost impossible to overstate the impact and importance of
Fela Kuti to the global music village. Throughout a career
that began with the London Jazz scene and the uptown Nigerian
music high life in the 1950's, peaked with the devoutly oppositional
Afrobeat in the 1970's, and inspired countless artists ever
since, Kuti lived out the war cry 'Music is the Weapon' like
no other musician. It is no exaggeration to say that Fela
is to African Music what Marley is to Reggae: Its prophet.
Contains the definitive film on Fela, Music is The Weapon
and the 2 CD Best Of." The documentary on the DVD is
shot in Lagos, 1982 and features unreleased live performances.
Its' 53 minutes long, NTSC format, Region 0.

The
DIFFERENT CINEMA Vol. 1 DVD is a compilation of rare and original
experimental films from around the world, each of which were
selected for screening at the Different Film Festival of Paris
(Festival des Cinémas Différents de Paris) between
2001 and 2003. The DVD includes the Lettrist artist Maurice
Lemaître and video artist Takahiko Iimura as well as
a number of young undiscovered talents such as Hugo Verlinde,
Colas Ricard and Martin Gracienau.
The ten shorts films on this DVD, each of which have been
presented at one of several Different Cinema Festivals of
Paris, represent a panoramic view of contemporary experimental
creations. The visuals take the lead over the narration and
orient the direction of the work. But these directions join
with the questions of humanity, philosophical and aesthetic,
that each creator asks himself no matter that the style or
format: games, desire, encounters, the search for an identity,
representation, society. |
