CANADA'S<br />

FATHERS?<br />
It is a fact of life for many Aboriginal<br />
children in this country: their dads are<br />
absent. And if the statistics don't change, a<br />
growing number of First Nations boys will<br />
typically, and tragically, be<strong>com</strong>e absent<br />
dads themselves. In contrast to the efforts<br />
being made across the country when it<br />
<strong>com</strong>es to single Aboriginal mothers, this<br />
fatherlessness is a cycle that very few<br />
Canadians are talking about.<br />
This special report looks at the problem<br />
from a historical context, including the<br />
effect on families of the residential school<br />
system. It also features the efforts of<br />
individuals and organizations in Regina<br />
working to break the cycle.<br />

MI'KMAQ MI'KMAQ WAY, WAY, THE<br />
THE<br />
He's the Conne River Elder who lived the<br />
Mi'kmaq way. A way of life long<br />
abandoned by the Mi'kmaq, but<br />
remembered by John Nick...remembered,<br />
because he was part of it.<br />
John Nick and his those of his generation<br />
ate what the land, and the seasons,<br />
provided. Caribou, salmon...eel, bear<br />
paws, muskrat, caribou<br />
innards...everything was graciously<br />
accepted. Nothing was wasted.<br />
John Nick still has a taste for the foods<br />
that kept him alive as a boy...and many<br />
vivid memories of his months in the<br />
country. But even though he's in tune with<br />
his past, John Nick Jeddore is a man<br />
who's very much kept up with the times...a<br />
man you won't soon forget.<br />

STORIES STORIES FROM FROM THE<br />
THE<br />
RIVER'S RIVER'S EDGE<br />
EDGE<br />
Each year hundreds of Aboriginal students<br />
in Northern Ontario are forced to leave<br />
their families and homes to pursue<br />
something the rest of the country takes for<br />
granted — a high school education. The<br />
fifth estate presents an extremely up-close<br />
and personal look inside the lives of<br />
students and staff at the Dennis Franklin<br />
Cromarty First Nations High School in<br />
Thunder Bay, ON.<br />
Even the school's principal wishes there<br />
were no need for the program his school<br />
offers, that Aboriginal kids could stay in<br />
their own <strong>com</strong>munities to receive a<br />
secondary education. He does not take<br />
lightly that these out-of-town teens have<br />
been entrusted to his care, but it can be<br />
difficult for him to shield his students from<br />
all the temptations of the city. In the past<br />
10 years, seven Aboriginal kids from<br />
Northern Ontario have died in Thunder<br />
Bay, six of them from the DFC High School.<br />
Five of the victims died apparent<br />
alcohol-related deaths — their bodies<br />
were pulled from local rivers amid swirling<br />
suspicions about what pushed them over<br />
the edge. Another two teens suffered<br />
troubling and unexpected deaths that have<br />
left lingering questions.<br />
This documentary tells a story of struggle,<br />
of kids trying to get ahead and of a<br />
remarkable school working under<br />
enormous pressures.<br />

ADDICTIONS<br />
AGE AGE OF OF ANXIETY<br />
ANXIETY<br />
Anxiety. It's being called the disease of the<br />
21st century. Everybody is either<br />
afflicted – or knows someone who is.<br />
According to the World Health<br />
Organization, disorders related to dread<br />
are the most prevalent mental illness on<br />
the globe at the moment.<br />
Some of us shriek at spiders, others have<br />
panic attacks that flare up out of nowhere<br />
and mimic the symptoms of heart failure,<br />
still others worry excessively about<br />
everything and nothing – violent crime,<br />
cancer, black bears, tornadoes.<br />
Is anxiety a disease of modernity? Or is<br />
our highly <strong>com</strong>petitive and material culture<br />
itself undermining our nerves? The Age of<br />
Anxiety examines what anxiety is, and<br />
how and why it is being re-defined by the<br />
medical and pharmaceutical industries.<br />
In 2013, a new edition of the Diagnostic<br />
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders<br />
(DSM), the psychiatrist's treatment "bible,"<br />
will be released with revised definitions of<br />
anxiety crafted by researchers – often with<br />
ties to drug <strong>com</strong>panies. As the DSM<br />
expands the definitions of anxiety, more<br />
and more people will meet the threshold of<br />
an anxiety disorder. Pharmaceutical<br />
<strong>com</strong>panies have a great deal at stake as<br />
more patients will look to pills for<br />
treatment.<br />
The Age of Anxiety investigates the role<br />
that pharmaceutical <strong>com</strong>panies, and even<br />
the psychiatric profession, play in this<br />
phenomenon. Is our anxiety fueling an<br />
industry that in turn is profiting from and<br />
exploiting our dread in a vicious and<br />
self-perpetuating cycle?<br />

OXYCONTIN<br />
ADDICTION<br />
ADDICTION<br />
Since OxyContin was introduced in 1996,<br />
Canada has recorded the second-highest<br />
number of prescription opioid painkiller<br />
addictions — and the world's<br />
second-highest death rate from overdoses.<br />
But how did this little pill be<strong>com</strong>e so big, so<br />
fast? In 1998, Canadian sales were just a<br />
few million dollars, but within 12 years they<br />
had soared to $243 million. In the U.S.,<br />
yearly sales topped $3.5 billion. Though<br />
there were differences in corporate style<br />
and legal structure between Purdue in the<br />
U.S and in Canada, a similar marketing<br />
approach proved wildly successful. The<br />
fifth estate examines why medical schools,<br />
GPs and specialists in pain clinics readily<br />
embraced the drug at first, and why some<br />
have now changed their minds.<br />

FUTURES FUTURES FUTURES MARKET<br />
MARKET<br />
By Mercedes Alvarez<br />
A film essay in tableaux, FUTURES<br />
MARKET traces the connections between<br />
memory, public space, and the real estate<br />
bubbles that led to the international<br />
financial crisis.<br />
Beginning with Greek lyric poet Simonides<br />
of Ceos' invention of the 'memory palace' -<br />
in which memories are arranged in an<br />
imagined physical space - the film<br />
suggests that the recent flurry of<br />
credit-fueled property development has<br />
depleted not only national treasuries, but<br />
the distinctive characters of these nation's<br />
cities -- and therefore, their cultural<br />
memory as well.<br />
FUTURES MARKETS takes us inside the<br />
fluorescent-lit showrooms of real estate<br />
expos, where developers hawk shares in<br />
hotel and condo projects in places from<br />
Dubai to Miami. Outside, cars crawl<br />
forward on endless stretches of<br />
anonymous highway whose "straight lines<br />
point in the direction of promises." This is<br />
Spain, but it could be almost anywhere in<br />
the world.<br />
"The art of memory was practiced by<br />
philosophers, poets, and architects", a<br />
narrator tells us. In the film we see the art<br />
of forgetting is practiced by the real estate<br />
developers, as well as business school<br />
gurus - who pledge the keys to success in<br />
the same convention centers. Meanwhile,<br />
investment bankers bark orders into<br />
multiple phones, trading futures in their<br />
non-descript offices. All peddle the same<br />
dream: a tidy and prosperous future in<br />
identical spaces the world over.<br />
To make room for these new dreams,<br />
history must be evacuated. FUTURES<br />
MARKET meditates on great art works<br />
from the past by painters like Bosch,<br />
Michelangelo, Mantegna, and Raphael.<br />
The grand philosophical and spiritual<br />
visions represented in their paintings have<br />
been replaced by the vulgar ones<br />
embodied by the glass tower condos and<br />
infinity pools in gleaming architectural<br />
models.<br />
A modest alternative is offered with the<br />
introduction of Jesus Castro, a 92-year-old<br />
junk dealer more interested in collecting<br />
than selling. We watch movers cleaning<br />
out an apartment in an old building slated<br />
for demolition, bagging up the books,<br />
furniture, and religious artifacts that<br />
bespeak a particular cultural identity. They<br />
turn up in the new repository of cultural<br />
memory: not a palace, but Castro's flea<br />
market. His stubborn refusal to bow to the<br />
marketplace's demand to forget makes<br />
him the hero of this film, which illustrates<br />
how little most of us choose to remember.<br />
Reviews<br />
� "A <strong>com</strong>pelling meditation on dreams<br />
that doubles as an expose of how<br />
cheap those dreams have be<strong>com</strong>e,<br />
"Futures Market" is a wise and<br />
fulfilling film that bears lofty<br />
<strong>com</strong>parison with the work of Spanish<br />
maestro helmers Victor Erice and<br />
Jose Luis Guerin." - Variety<br />
� "Draw[s] attention to the invisible<br />
architects of the postmodern<br />
economy at the moment before it<br />

SILVESTRE PANTALEON is the story of<br />
an elderly man from the Nahuatl-speaking<br />
village of San Agustin Oapan, Mexico. It<br />
begins as a local curandero reads the<br />
protagonist's fortune in the cards and<br />
diagnoses the costly remedy to his ills: a<br />

1998 2015<br />
By Charles Mann, Doug Karr, and Michael<br />
J. Palmer<br />
Responding to recurrent food crises, by<br />
1998 scientists in Malawi had developed<br />
and field-tested new maize varieties and<br />
crop <strong>com</strong>binations that promised Malawi a<br />
Green Revolution. However, with farmers<br />
too poor to purchase seed and fertilizer,<br />
how to empower Malawi's farmers with<br />
this new technology?<br />
The answer came in a dramatic response<br />
to a food crisis in 1998 when donors and<br />
government distributed small Starter<br />
Packs of the new seed, fertilizer, and<br />
nitrogen fixing legumes to all smallholder<br />
farmers in Malawi — 2.8 million<br />
households. Production soared, and by<br />
the end of year 2, Malawi had a large<br />
maize surplus. Judging Starter Pack's<br />
annual $25 million cost unsustainable,<br />
donors forced a change in concept from<br />
spreading the new technology to all<br />
farmers to providing a social safety net:<br />
lower productivity seed and less fertilizer<br />
in the pack, and packs only for Malawi's<br />
neediest. This change placed Malawi's<br />
Green Revolution on hold, and production<br />
fell towards traditional levels, so that by<br />
2005, Malawi again was in desperate food<br />
crisis.<br />
Over the objections of donors, the<br />
Government responded to the crisis by<br />
providing vouchers to all farmers allowing<br />
them to buy at a sharp discount two bags<br />
of fertilizer and improved seed. At a cost of<br />
about $70 million per year, the surge of<br />
improved seed and fertilizer restarted<br />
Malawi's stalled Green Revolution, and the<br />
country again moved into maize surplus.<br />
With the World Bank having judged this a<br />
"smart subsidy", perhaps this approach<br />
will prove sustainable, even though it<br />
overlooks much of the science that<br />
motivated the original Starter Pack<br />
approach.<br />
The film brings to life some central<br />
dilemmas of development policy as<br />
supporters and opponents of Starter Pack<br />
express their views, and as donors press<br />
to reshape the program from a focused<br />
instrument of technological change into an<br />
element of a social safety net, then into<br />
something midway between.<br />
Review<br />
� "I REALLY like the Starter Pack film. It<br />

reactions of various stakeholders. It's<br />

By Colette Piault<br />
Forty years after the production of The<br />
Fenland (Le Brouck) <strong>com</strong>es a follow up<br />
about the Audomarois Fenland.<br />
Return to the Brouck (Retour au Brouck)<br />
Set in the natural environment of northern<br />
France, criss-crossed with water ways,<br />
market gardening as well as breeding<br />
remain the only productive activities.<br />
Nevertheless, the number of fenlanders<br />
has seriously diminished from 200 farms<br />
in the 1970 to 40 in 2010. Other elements<br />
are now intervening such as ecology,<br />
preservation and development like the<br />
Natural Regional Park and the Romelaere<br />
Natural Reserve, or leisure activities like<br />
waterfowl hunting, fishing and tourism.<br />
Through images and words Return to the<br />
Brouck expresses this new reality,<br />
confronting the actors of the past - young<br />
fenlanders of the 70s - with the present.<br />
Juxtaposing the images of the past with<br />
those of 2010. The core of the film still<br />
remains, as in the 70s, the vivid problem<br />
of the present and the future of the<br />
Audomarois Fenland and its inhabitants.<br />

ackyard. Taking nearly three years,<br />
McBride followed the river source to sea<br />
on a personal journey to see exactly<br />
where the river goes and what be<strong>com</strong>es of<br />
the irrigation water that flows across his<br />
family's cattle ranch in central Colorado<br />
after it returns to the creek.<br />
Recruiting hisfather, John, as his personal<br />
pilot McBride chose an aerial vantage to<br />
capture a unique and fresh view of the<br />
Colorado River Basin. He also partnered<br />
with Jon Waterman, an author who stayed<br />
stream level to paddle the entire length of<br />
the river.<br />
This short film takes the viewer on a 1,500<br />
mile adventure downstream, from<br />
mountains and cities and through canyons<br />
and across shrinking reservoirs. For 6<br />
million years the Colorado River flowed to<br />
the sea. Today it runs dry some 90 miles<br />
shy of its historic terminus at the Sea of<br />
Cortez.<br />
This visual journey is both revealing and<br />
alarming as it highlights the state of the<br />
river and the Southwest's drying future.<br />

McBride and music by Explosions In The<br />

SHATTERED SHATTERED SKY<br />
SKY<br />
Directed by Steve Dorst, Dan Evans<br />
The story of how America led the world to<br />
solve the ozone crisis. Will we dare to do<br />
the same with climate change?<br />
Thirty years ago, scientists reported a hole<br />
in the ozone layer "the size of North<br />
America." The culprits were man-made<br />
chemicals called CFCs, which were<br />
prevalent in billions of dollars worth of<br />
refrigeration, air conditioning and other<br />
products that had revolutionized America's<br />
way of life.<br />
With doctors forecasting skyrocketing<br />
cancer rates if changes weren't made, the<br />
stakes were literally "life as we know it."<br />
Yet <strong>com</strong>panies remained bitterly opposed<br />
to changing their products. Politicians<br />
were slow to act. Like with today's CO2<br />
emissions, an invisible <strong>com</strong>pound was<br />
threatening the Earth's life-support<br />
systems, but a solution seemed beyond<br />
reach.<br />
Eerily reminiscent of today's energy and<br />
climate crisis, Shattered Sky tells the story<br />
of how America led the world in solving the<br />
biggest environmental crisis ever seen.<br />

SUBSTANCE, SUBSTANCE, SUBSTANCE, THE: THE: ALBE ALBERT ALBE RT<br />
HOFMANN'S HOFMANN'S LSD<br />
LSD<br />
Directed by Martin Witz<br />
In 1943, at the Sandoz<br />
chemical-pharmaceutical laboratories in<br />
Basel, Switzerland, chemist Albert<br />
Hofmann, in search of a respiratory and<br />
circulatory stimulant, first synthesized<br />
LSD.<br />
Martin Witz's THE SUBSTANCE: ALBERT<br />
HOFMANN'S LSD is an informative and<br />
entertaining investigation into the history<br />
of a drug so potent that mere fractions of a<br />
milligram can alter a subject's perception<br />
of reality.<br />
Viewers learn how Hofmann's discovery<br />
became the subject of 1950's Cold War<br />
experiments by the American military and<br />
the CIA, who saw LSD as a potential<br />
weapon. Meanwhile, international<br />
psychiatrists and consciousness<br />
researchers tried to unlock the drug's<br />
medicinal possibilities, wondering whether<br />
it might be an effective tool for<br />
contemporary psychiatry or neuroscience.<br />
In the early 1960s, Hofmann's "miracle<br />
drug" escaped from the lab. The<br />
psychedelic substance appealed to the<br />
counterculture, whose members saw LSD<br />
as fuel for social and political revolution.<br />
Could spiritual peace be achieved at the<br />
flick of a chemical switch?<br />
The notoriety and sense of possibility<br />
surrounding LSD persist to this day.<br />
Decades after it first began to appear on<br />
international anti-drug blacklists, doctors<br />
and researchers have resumed exploring<br />
potential medical and therapeutic<br />
applications for the drug.<br />
Chock-full of rare archival footage of<br />
LSD-defining celebrities from Timothy<br />
Leary to Jimi Hendrix, as well as<br />
interviews with principal historical<br />
witnesses-including scientists,<br />
psychiatrists, and Hofmann himself,<br />
interviewed just before his death - THE<br />
SUBSTANCE: ALBERT HOFMANN'S LSD<br />
follows the story of LSD on a fascinating<br />
historical, scientific and cinematic trip.<br />
Review<br />
���� "Martin Witz's fascinating film traces<br />
the history of the drug, from its early<br />
tests, possible military applications<br />
and to its eventual fame as<br />
drug-of-choice for the hippie<br />
generation, and it is a wonderfully<br />
mounted montage of archive footage<br />
and interviews that makes for<br />
<strong>com</strong>pulsive viewing." - Mark Adams,<br />

an extremely rare genetic disorder that<br />
only shows up at a rate of one in a million<br />
in the general population. Behind the<br />
closed curtains of their trailer, parked in<br />
the stark desert of <strong>New</strong> Mexico, they care<br />
for their 16-year-old daughter Leanndra.<br />
Just like her brother who passed away at<br />
age 11, Leanndra was born with<br />
Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP), a rare<br />
genetic disorder that makes any exposure<br />
to sunlight fatal.<br />
Filmed over three years, with<br />
unprecedented access to the Navajo<br />
<strong>com</strong>munity, Sun Kissed follows Dorey and<br />
Yolanda as they bravely confront long-held<br />
tribal taboos and question the rebellious<br />
choices of their youth. Ultimately their<br />
journey leads them to the shocking truth:<br />
Their children and other Navajo children<br />
are still paying the price for the American<br />
conquest of the tribe in the 1860s, a brutal<br />
campaign culminating in an<br />
almost-forgotten chapter in American<br />
history -- the Navajo "Long Walk" of 1864.<br />
Despite its importance as the defining<br />
moment in modern Navajo history and the<br />
beginning of their assimilation into<br />
American society, discussing the tragedy<br />
of the Long Walk remains a taboo topic<br />
within the Navajo <strong>com</strong>munity.<br />
What Dorey and Yolanda find challenges<br />
the core of their identity and everything<br />
they believe in, and exposes a fresh<br />
perspective on the <strong>com</strong>plex, cross-cultural<br />
identity of modern day Navajos. Focusing<br />
on the continuing implications of American<br />
colonialism and the genetic imprints it has<br />
left on this <strong>com</strong>munity, Sun Kissed<br />
presents a rare and realistic window into<br />
the issues confronting Native Americans<br />
today.<br />

ANTHROPOLOGY<br />
10TH 10TH PARALLEL<br />
PARALLEL<br />
By Silvio Da-Rin<br />
10th PARALLEL takes us on a 300-mile<br />
journey up Brazil's Envira river into the<br />
heart of the Amazon Rainforest, to the<br />
frontier of a territory populated by the<br />
country's uncontacted indigenous tribes.<br />
Our guide is Jose Carlos Meirelles, a<br />
sertanista - one of the Amazon<br />
frontiersman employed by FUNAI, the<br />
National Indian Foundation of Brazil. With<br />
anthropologist Txai Terri de Aquino, he<br />
leads us to the Ethno-Environmental<br />
Protection Front of the Envira River, a<br />
FUNAI outpost he founded at the foot of<br />
the 10th Parallel South, the latitude that<br />
marks Brazil's border with Peru, cheek by<br />
jowl with the largest population of isolated<br />
indigenous people in the world.<br />
Until 1987, FUNAI attempted to make<br />
contact with previously isolated tribes and<br />
integrate them within the Brazilian state.<br />
The policy had disastrous results: the<br />
death of hundreds of thousands of<br />
indigenous people, and, in some cases,<br />
the virtual enslavement of others on behalf<br />
of government or industry.<br />
Since then, FUNAI has sought to maintain<br />
these tribes' isolation. Sertanistas like<br />
Meirelles, the very people who used to<br />
make first contact with the tribes on behalf<br />
of the government, are now charged with<br />
ensuring the new policy is observed.<br />
10th PARALLEL documents 21 days of<br />
this frequently dangerous, always delicate<br />
labor. With few resources beyond decades<br />
of experience in the indigenous cause, the<br />
specialists negotiate with the established<br />
riverside indigenous <strong>com</strong>munities, and<br />
face traffickers and squatters who try to<br />
invade the area. Meirelles describes<br />
sometimes harrowing encounters with<br />
members of the uncontacted tribes,<br />
including an ambush during which he was<br />
pierced through the face and neck with<br />
arrows.<br />
Even more than his bravery, we see<br />
Meirelles' dedication. In his meetings with<br />
the previously contacted and settled<br />
riverside tribes who live closest to the<br />
isolated <strong>com</strong>munities, we see some of the<br />
thorny practicalities entailed by FUNAI's<br />
approach. After a number of conflicts and<br />
thefts involving the "wild" Indians, with<br />
casualties on both sides, Meirelles must<br />
propose possible solutions for peaceful<br />
coexistence, offering concessions on<br />
behalf of the government to the contacted<br />
indigenous <strong>com</strong>munities that have<br />
suffered the greatest losses.<br />
10th PARALLEL brings us deep into the<br />
Amazon and into close proximity with the<br />
rainforest's uncontacted populations to<br />
reveal the fascinating and <strong>com</strong>plex issues<br />
at stake in FUNAI's policy on isolated<br />
tribes - a policy that has be<strong>com</strong>e a<br />
reference worldwide. We see that<br />
non-contact is not a policy of passivity or<br />
neglect, but rather entails all the subtle<br />
questions and balancing of constituencies<br />
as any other government program.<br />

SILVESTRE SILVESTRE PANTALEON<br />
PANTALEON<br />
By Roberto Olivares Ruiz and Jonathan<br />
Amith<br />
SILVESTRE PANTALEON is the story of<br />
an elderly man from the Nahuatl-speaking<br />
village of San Agustin Oapan, Mexico. It<br />
begins as a local curandero reads the<br />
protagonist's fortune in the cards and<br />
diagnoses the costly remedy to his ills: a<br />
<strong>com</strong>plex series of offerings to the hearth,<br />
the ants, the river, and the deceased.<br />
Silvestre Pantaleon then struggles to pull<br />
together the money needed to pay for the<br />
curing ceremony and provide for his family,<br />
dedicating himself to the only<br />
remunerative activities he knows:<br />
handcrafting rope (made from the maguey<br />
plant) for religious ceremonies, and<br />
making seldom-used household objects<br />
that he alone still has the skills to produce.<br />
SILVESTRE PANTALEON -the result of a<br />
collaboration between an anthropologist<br />
who lives Oapan and a filmmaker<br />
dedicated to working in indigenous<br />
<strong>com</strong>munities-unfolds with no interviews or<br />
narration. Rather, scenes from daily life<br />
are woven together in rich ethnographic<br />
detail and lingering imagery that explore a<br />
rural <strong>com</strong>munity situated in the shadow of<br />
a highway bridge to the international resort<br />
of Acapulco. Over this bridge pass<br />
thousands of tourists, oblivious to the<br />
village life just below yet worlds apart.<br />

BARABAIG<br />
By Dr. George J. Klima<br />
Ethnographic documentary about the<br />
Barabaig, a semi-nomadic people who live<br />
in northern Tanzania and rely upon cattle<br />
for their subsistence. The Barabaig<br />

cluster of cultural behavior patterns is<br />
illustrated by payment of a cattle fine by<br />
men tried and convicted in a women's<br />
court. In addition, a sacrifice of a bull, a<br />
Barbaig wedding ceremony, and a boy's<br />
circumcision ritual are discussed.<br />

Song (ndando) functions in a wide variety<br />

this performance by Chopi <strong>com</strong>poser<br />
Venancio Mbande, the ballad-like text<br />
alludes poetically to an event in his family<br />

can be gained. Also see The Chopi<br />

ARCHAEOLOGY<br />
6 6 GENERATIONS<br />
GENERATIONS<br />
By Paul Goldsmith<br />
Ernestine De Soto is a Chumash Native<br />
American whose mother Mary Yee was<br />
the last speaker of her native Barbareno<br />
language. In 6 Generations, her family<br />
reaches back to the days the Spanish<br />
arrived in Santa Barbara and made first<br />
contact. Ernestine tells this history from<br />
the perspective of her female ancestors,<br />
making her a unique link with the past.<br />
Famous anthropologist John Peabody<br />
Harrington, whose work focused on native<br />
peoples of California, started research<br />
with her family in 1913 and continued with<br />
three generations for nearly 50 years. This<br />
inspired Ernestine's mother to begin taking<br />
notes and, <strong>com</strong>bined with mission records<br />
(which survived intact from the late 1700s),<br />
they form the heart of this story. Because<br />
of these circumstances, her story, possible<br />
only in California, is unique in America.<br />
The impact of loss of land, language,<br />
culture and life itself is made all the more<br />
clear as this story is told in Native<br />
American voices, who describe the events<br />
as they experienced them. Ultimately, it is<br />
a story of survival and the fierce<br />
endurance of Ernestine's ancestors,<br />
particularly the women.<br />
Review<br />
� "This is history as autobiography,<br />
foregrounding the power of language<br />
and telling a checkered tale of cultural<br />
survival in the extreme. The time<br />
depth is simply astonishing, and the<br />
narrative is frank and true and<br />
sometimes stark. 6 Generations is a<br />
home run. I cannot re<strong>com</strong>mend it<br />
highly enough." - David Hurst Thomas,<br />

BERLIN<br />
By Beate Lendt<br />
DREAMING OF A TREE HOUSE is a film<br />
about the pioneering <strong>com</strong>munity-building<br />
project of the world-famous architect Frei<br />
Otto in Berlin, called the Okohaus—an<br />
experimental, ecological, customized<br />
housing project in the city center.<br />
Including interviews with Frei Otto,<br />
Christine Kanstinger-Otto, Hermann<br />
Kendel, Yona Friedman, Anne Lacaton &<br />
Jean-Philippe Vassal, and other involved<br />
architects, planners, and inhabitants, the<br />
film shows the development and the<br />
philosophy of the project, which was built<br />
for the International Building Exhibition in<br />
Berlin 1987 (IBA).<br />
The "Ecohouse" project hosts a number of<br />
experimental solutions to adaptable home<br />
building and personalization. The film<br />
explores the ideas that motivated the<br />
project, its underlying sustainability<br />
themes, and asks how these ambitions<br />
were realized.<br />
DREAMING OF A TREE HOUSE<br />
ultimately asks: What can we learn from<br />
the Okohaus? How can its design, building<br />
process, and the experience of its 20-plus<br />
year occupation inform ecological and<br />
design issues currently relevant to our<br />
society?<br />

AIR<br />
Unique modern artist Alexander Calder<br />
(1898-1976) revolutionized the art of<br />
sculpture with his distinctive modernism,<br />
freeing sculpture from its stand and adding<br />
movement to the art itself.<br />
He rose to fame in the 1930s with his<br />
renowned Miniature Circus, but his<br />
modernist creativity skyrocketed with his<br />
wire sculptures, an invention he dubbed<br />
"drawing in space".<br />
Contemporary and friend with Duchamp,<br />
Miro, and Mondrian, who have greatly<br />
influenced his evolution, this genius<br />
tinkerer, too often limited to his Mobiles,<br />
was fueled by artistic renewal, creating<br />
such unexpected shapes as his huge<br />
stabile sculptures now exhibited<br />

IRONING<br />
At the age of 36 his sight began to fail. He<br />
could no longer stand bright daylight. In<br />
only a few years he would go blind, this he<br />
knew.<br />
Edgar Degas, the son of an Italian banker,<br />
had stopped studying law to be<strong>com</strong>e a<br />
painter. He was a brilliant portraitist, but<br />
even more than this he loved to paint the<br />
dynamics of movement in horse races, to<br />
sketch the milliners on the boulevards, to<br />
depict with his paintbrush or pastel<br />
crayons the young women who worked as<br />
laundresses and water-carriers.<br />
Like no other artist, he captured the<br />
fleeting moment of movement. Due to his<br />
failing eyesight, he retreated increasingly<br />
into the world of artificial light, painting the<br />
female singers in the concert cafes on the<br />
Champs-Elysees, the ballerinas in the<br />
Paris Opera, the cocottes in the brothels,<br />
intimate scenes in the boudoir.<br />
He became a permanent guest in the<br />
Opera, studying meticulously the<br />
ballerinas in training and at rehearsals,<br />
behind the scenes and on stage. Degas<br />
recorded every gesture with his paintbrush<br />
and pastel crayon as in a photograph:<br />
unconventionally <strong>com</strong>posed "snapshots"<br />
of painting. His radiantly colourful pastels<br />
breathe the air of the stage, testify to the<br />
glory and the toil, to the aesthetics and the<br />
effort of a dancer's everyday routine. In his<br />
lifetime Degas' picture "Dancers at the<br />
Bar" was sold in an auction for the highest<br />
price ever reached for a painting by a<br />
living artist in France.<br />
The documentary follows the trail of the<br />
painter through nocturnal Paris at the turn<br />
of the century, in the Paris Opera and the<br />
concert cafes.<br />

liked his paintings with their sombre,<br />
passionate religiousness.<br />
Influenced by the icon painting in his home<br />
country and by his years in Venice as a<br />
pupil of Titian, El Greco developed his<br />
unmistakable, expressive style: the<br />
elongated figures in his pictures, painted<br />
in flickering forms and lines and the<br />
dramatic character of his landscapes<br />
became his hallmark.<br />
This informative and entertaining<br />
documentary was filmed in the Prado<br />
Museum and in the churches and cloisters<br />
of Toledo where El Greco offset the<br />
blazing, summery light with dark, cool<br />
colors.<br />
This unique program presents these<br />
contrasts in impressive shots and draws a<br />
new picture of this artist, whose baffling<br />
modernity has still not lost any of its<br />
fascination.<br />

PALACE<br />
PALACE<br />
This informative documentary traces the<br />
development of the artist Francisco Goya<br />
from a painter of serene rococo idylls to<br />
the creator of surrealistic visions of the<br />
subconscious.<br />
Goya revealed behind the masks and<br />
facades of his contemporaries the<br />
demonic nature of humanity, thus<br />
destroying the baroque idea of "the divinity<br />
of man".<br />
Goya began as a cartoon painter, creating<br />
designs for the royal tapestry manufactory.<br />
Soon, however, he became the most<br />
sought-after portraitist of Madrid's high<br />
society and was appointed court painter to<br />
the King. His paintings breathed the "new<br />
bourgeois spirit of the Enlightenment."<br />
At the age of 46 Goya suffered a stroke<br />
while painting. For months he was<br />
paralyzed, and he remained deaf for the<br />
rest of his life. Yet the loss of his hearing<br />
seemed to accentuate his artistic<br />
perception, for it was at this point in his life<br />
that his genius came to fruition, probing<br />
the depths of humankind as if with x-ray<br />
eyes.<br />
Not until the 20th century did art once<br />
again link up with Goya's expressive<br />
surrealistic visions.<br />

GENIUS<br />
GENIUS<br />
The man from the Tuscan village of Vinci<br />
is regarded as the universal genius of the<br />
Renaissance, although he only <strong>com</strong>pleted<br />
a few works. He was an architect and<br />
engineer, yet there is not a single building<br />
based on his plans, he was a sculptor, yet<br />
virtually none of his sculptures are extant.<br />
And only a few portraits and frescoes<br />
testify to the brilliance of the painter<br />
Leonardo.<br />
Nevertheless, the outstanding quality of<br />
his works, the diversity of his ideas,<br />
observations and fantasies still endow the<br />
artist and scientist with the title of<br />
"Universal Genius."<br />
This informative and entertaining film<br />
follows Leonardo's trail from Florence,<br />
where he be<strong>com</strong>es a pupil of Verrocchio,<br />
via Milan, where he spends the longest<br />
time of his life, to Amboise Castle in the<br />
Loire, following the invitation of the French<br />
King Francis I. In his luggage the old<br />
painter took with him the Mona Lisa ? the<br />

world-famous.<br />

He aspired constantly to achieve the<br />
seemingly impossible, and this he did with<br />
unimaginable perseverance.<br />
With each work he opened up new worlds<br />
of artistic expression: in the frescos of the<br />

THE THE WORLD WORLD IN IN AN AN APPL APPLE APPL<br />
Paul Cezanne revolutionized art. He made<br />
painting an end in itself, maintained that<br />
art was a harmony in parallel with nature.<br />
Born in Aix-en Provence in the south of<br />
France in 1839, he is revered now, but it<br />
was not always so. It was the surrounding<br />
countryside that served as part of the<br />
inspiration for his colorful palettes. He<br />
used glasses and fruits in still life paintings<br />
to capture the precision of shapes. Form<br />
and color were fused together. Many of his<br />
paintings were often panned critically, but<br />
were appreciated more in his later years.<br />
This is the story of one of Modern<br />
Painting's most influential artists.<br />

BAROQUE<br />
His legacy consists of over two thousand<br />
pictures - an imposing and contradictory<br />
life's work, with which Rubens, the<br />
disciplined artist and diplomat, educated in<br />
the humanist tradition, transposed the<br />
achievements of Renaissance painting<br />
into the Baroque age and built a bridge<br />
between north and south, between Italian<br />
and Flemish art.<br />
The film interprets the great altar paintings,<br />
the portraits and self portraits and the<br />
famous mythological and historical<br />
portrayals: in his mythological pictures<br />
Rubens incorporated his experiences of<br />
human passions and the dynamics of<br />
nature.<br />
In the Medici cycle for the Queen of<br />
France the painter's baroque feeling for<br />
life is expressed with the greatest clarity:<br />
political activity appears as theatrum<br />
mundi, as a portrayal of a sensibly ordered<br />
world. Life can succeed, evil can be<br />
over<strong>com</strong>e: this is Rubens' message which<br />
he expressed in his art.<br />

William Turner is one of the most<br />
important English painters of the Romantic<br />
Movement. He was unique in placing great<br />
significance on the atmospheric content of<br />
his portrayals.<br />
In his later works his subjects virtually<br />
dissolve into spaces defined by color. No<br />
one before Turner had placed such an<br />
intrinsic value on light and color, thus<br />
anticipating an aspect of modern painting.<br />
The unique film documents the life and<br />
work of the artist in his various phases;<br />
from his humble origin in the narrow alleys<br />
of London, to the triumphs of an artist who<br />
succeeded in be<strong>com</strong>ing a professor of the<br />
Royal Academy.<br />
This informative and entertaining program<br />
also showcases Turner's many journeys:<br />
he was travelling almost incessantly his<br />
entire life. Of great importance for his<br />
artistic development was the then<br />
obligatory tour of Italy. Who was this<br />
painter, whose later pictures developed an<br />
artistic freedom which increasingly<br />
liberated itself from the prevailing style?<br />
This program seeks answers to this<br />
question at original sites in London,<br />
Venice and Rome and tries to portray the<br />
psychological suspense of an art which, in<br />
its radicalism, was far ahead of its time.<br />

The unique collections held in the<br />

journey in time and space. The<br />
introduction to the Winter Palace skillfully<br />
weaves in the history of the museum<br />
collection that now dates back more than<br />
three centuries.<br />
Originally established as the private<br />
collection of the Russian Empress<br />
Catherine the Great, the collection<br />
continued to grow with works of art<br />
regularly added, and in the mid 19th<br />
century it was opened to the wider public.<br />
As you encounter the masterpieces of one<br />
period after another you will understand<br />
how prehistoric cultures arose, developed<br />
and died out, then the culture of the<br />
antique world, the Renaissance period<br />
and classicism; each time to die and be<br />
reborn in the works of masters of a later<br />
age.<br />
Music performed by the State Hermitage<br />
Orchestra, the Millennium Chamber Choir<br />
and the St Petersburg Neva-Klassika<br />
string quartet will enhance your enjoyment<br />
as you travel through the museum and<br />
visit the different epochs of the various<br />
cultures on display.<br />
The Hermitage Museum in Saint<br />
Petersburg, Russia is one of the world's<br />
largest art museums. Its magnificent<br />
buildings served as the official residence<br />
of the Russian Emperors for almost two<br />
centuries. Now they are open to the public<br />
and over two million artifacts and works of<br />
art from prehistoric times to the<br />
contemporary period are exhibited in<br />
hundreds of galleries and rooms.<br />
The Hermitage Museum houses a rich<br />
collection of Greek and Roman sculptures,<br />
splendid jewelry, and many of the best<br />
works of Raphael, Da Vinci, Titian,<br />
Giorgione, Velasquez, Van Dyke,<br />
Rembrandt, many other Dutch masters,<br />
French Impressionists, and 20th Century<br />
masters such as Matisse and Picasso.<br />
This film's guiding principle is to reveal the<br />
Hermitage through the history of its<br />
owners as well as to display its<br />

Multi-layered story of Cuba's National Art<br />
Schools project, designed by three young<br />
artists in the wake of Castro's Revolution.<br />
Cuba's ambitious National Art Schools<br />
project, designed by three young artists,<br />
Ricardo Porro, Vittorio Garatti, and<br />
Roberto Gottardi, in the wake of Castro's<br />
Revolution, is neglected, nearly forgotten,<br />
then ultimately rediscovered as a visionary<br />
architectural masterpiece.<br />
In 1961, three young, visionary architects<br />
were <strong>com</strong>missioned by Fidel Castro and<br />
Che Guevara to create Cuba's National<br />
Art Schools on the grounds of a former<br />
golf course in Havana, Cuba. Construction<br />
of their radical designs began immediately<br />
and the school's first classes soon<br />
followed. Dancers, musicians and artists<br />
from all over the country reveled in the<br />
beauty of the schools, but as the dream of<br />
the Revolution quickly became a reality,<br />
construction was abruptly halted and the<br />
architects and their designs were deemed<br />
irrelevant in the prevailing political climate.<br />
Forty years later the schools are in use,<br />
but remain unfinished and decaying.<br />
Castro has invited the exiled architects<br />
back to finish their unrealized dream.<br />
UNFINISHED SPACES features intimate<br />
footage of Fidel Castro, showing his<br />
devotion to creating a worldwide<br />
showcase for art, and it also documents<br />
the struggle and passion of three<br />
revolutionary artists.<br />

BIOGRAPHY<br />
FANTOME FANTOME ISLAND<br />
ISLAND<br />
By Sean Gilligan and Adrian Strong<br />
In 1945 seven-year-old Joe Eggmolesse<br />
was diagnosed with Leprosy. He was<br />
taken from his family under police escort<br />
and transported by rail and sea over a<br />
thousand kilometres to Fantome Island<br />
where he was to be incarcerated for the<br />
next ten years.<br />
The isolated tropical island off the North<br />
Queensland coast became home to a<br />
close-knit <strong>com</strong>munity of indigenous<br />
"lepers" whose marginalized existence<br />
was hidden from white society and has<br />
until now remained absent from the<br />
mainstream historical record. Cared for by<br />
nuns from the Franciscan Missionaries of<br />
Mary their isolation was the consequence<br />
of apartheid-like policies developed by the<br />
Queensland government and medical<br />
establishment which espoused a<br />
eugenicist philosophy and regarded racial<br />
segregation as standard practice.<br />
As one of the few surviving former patients<br />
Joe returns to the island for a long awaited<br />
event, the Fantome Island Remembrance<br />
Day. As a 73 year old Elder he confronts<br />
the memory of his childhood on the island<br />
to pay tribute to those who lived and died<br />
there and to inscribe his own unique story<br />
into official Australian history. Drawing on<br />
an evocative archive, this film exposes<br />
how an ideology of racism and eugenics<br />
worked to justify horrific treatment of<br />
Australia's Indigenous <strong>com</strong>munities. In<br />
uncovering this shameful history, Fantome<br />
Island is a testimony of strength and<br />
endurance, demonstrating one man's<br />
incredible capacity for forgiveness and<br />
love.<br />

BIOLOGY<br />
NATURAL NATURAL HISTORY HISTORY OF<br />
OF<br />
LAUGHTER, LAUGHTER, A<br />
A<br />
By Jacques Mitsch<br />
For how long have we been laughing? Are<br />
human beings the only ones to laugh? In<br />
the past, scientists tended to neglect such<br />
questions of laughter, leaving them to the<br />
philosophers. Jacques Mitsch's A<br />
NATURAL HISTORY OF LAUGHTER<br />
explores recent scientific attempts to<br />
explicate this most elusive of human<br />
faculties, undertaken by scientists who<br />
see it as a means of approaching some of<br />
the larger mysteries of neurology and<br />
human behavior.<br />
The investigation begins in the United<br />
States with Robert Provine, a<br />
neuroscientist and psychologist at the<br />
University of Maryland who has devoted<br />
his career to the study of the evolution of<br />
human laughter and the neural<br />
mechanisms that produce it. We follow<br />
Provine into the classroom, the lab, and<br />
finally, the field - in this case, a college<br />
cafeteria - as he explains what his studies<br />
of laughter have revealed about the<br />
human brain.<br />
But laughter did not begin with humans.<br />
The film burrows deeper into its<br />
evolutionary origins with Dutch ethologist<br />
Jan Van Hoof, another pioneer of the<br />
laughter sciences. Van Hoof takes us<br />
inside his chimpanzee observation cabin<br />

to witness his behavioral experiments with<br />
the primates, showing us how he<br />
determined what constitutes chimpanzee<br />
laughter, and how he distinguishes<br />
between different vocalizations and facial<br />
expressions.<br />
From these discipline-defining studies, A<br />
NATURAL HISTORY OF LAUGHTER<br />
expands outwards as Mitsch's scientist<br />
subjects track the broader implications of<br />
their findings. They leave us with a series<br />
of suggestive questions. How do animals<br />
experience emotions? Is laughter at the<br />
root of human empathy? Does laughter<br />
contribute to or indicate overall health?<br />
Prompting these thoughts and many<br />
others, this informative film is bound also<br />
to make you laugh - but not in the ways<br />
you expected.<br />

PERFECT PERFECT RUNNER, RUNNER, THE<br />
THE<br />
Explore the miracle of running through the<br />
science of human evolution.<br />
How did our ancestors survive the shift<br />
from trees to land? How did Homo sapiens<br />
evolve to dominate the planet? How did<br />
our ancestors hunt before they developed<br />
weapons? The answer, you'll be amazed<br />
to learn, is that humans became nature's<br />
perfect endurance runners.<br />
From Africa's Great Rift Valley to the<br />
highlands of Ethiopia, from the most<br />
remote place in Arctic Siberia to one of the<br />
world's toughest ultra marathons in the<br />
Canadian Rockies, anthropologist and<br />
host Niobe Thompson takes us on a<br />
journey that weaves cutting-edge science<br />
with gripping adventure, and asks what<br />
today's runners can learn from our<br />
evolutionary past.<br />
Finally understand the science and sport<br />
of barefoot running. Meet Harvard's<br />
"barefoot professor" – Dr. Daniel<br />
Lieberman – the father of the barefoot<br />
running movement, and learn how running<br />
was key to the evolution of modern<br />
humans. In a pioneering study of running<br />
biomechanics, Lieberman has shown how<br />
modern running shoes encourage a<br />
running style humans were never evolved<br />
to withstand, and which likely underpins<br />
the epidemic in running injuries we see<br />
today.<br />

FUTURES FUTURES MARKET<br />
MARKET<br />
By Mercedes Alvarez<br />
A film essay in tableaux, FUTURES<br />
MARKET traces the connections between<br />
memory, public space, and the real estate<br />
bubbles that led to the international<br />
financial crisis.<br />
Beginning with Greek lyric poet Simonides<br />
of Ceos' invention of the 'memory palace' -<br />
in which memories are arranged in an<br />
imagined physical space - the film<br />
suggests that the recent flurry of<br />
credit-fueled property development has<br />
depleted not only national treasuries, but<br />
the distinctive characters of these nation's<br />
cities -- and therefore, their cultural<br />
memory as well.<br />
FUTURES MARKETS takes us inside the<br />
fluorescent-lit showrooms of real estate<br />
expos, where developers hawk shares in<br />
hotel and condo projects in places from<br />
Dubai to Miami. Outside, cars crawl<br />
forward on endless stretches of<br />
anonymous highway whose "straight lines<br />
point in the direction of promises." This is<br />
Spain, but it could be almost anywhere in<br />
the world.<br />
"The art of memory was practiced by<br />
philosophers, poets, and architects", a<br />
narrator tells us. In the film we see the art<br />
of forgetting is practiced by the real estate<br />
developers, as well as business school<br />
gurus - who pledge the keys to success in<br />
the same convention centers. Meanwhile,<br />
investment bankers bark orders into<br />
multiple phones, trading futures in their<br />
non-descript offices. All peddle the same<br />
dream: a tidy and prosperous future in<br />
identical spaces the world over.<br />
To make room for these new dreams,<br />
history must be evacuated. FUTURES<br />
MARKET meditates on great art works<br />
from the past by painters like Bosch,<br />
Michelangelo, Mantegna, and Raphael.<br />
The grand philosophical and spiritual<br />
visions represented in their paintings have<br />
been replaced by the vulgar ones<br />
embodied by the glass tower condos and<br />
infinity pools in gleaming architectural<br />
models.<br />
A modest alternative is offered with the<br />
introduction of Jesus Castro, a 92-year-old<br />
junk dealer more interested in collecting<br />
than selling. We watch movers cleaning<br />
out an apartment in an old building slated<br />
for demolition, bagging up the books,<br />
furniture, and religious artifacts that<br />
bespeak a particular cultural identity. They<br />
turn up in the new repository of cultural<br />
memory: not a palace, but Castro's flea<br />
market. His stubborn refusal to bow to the<br />
marketplace's demand to forget makes<br />
him the hero of this film, which illustrates<br />
how little most of us choose to remember.<br />
Reviews<br />
� "A <strong>com</strong>pelling meditation on dreams<br />
that doubles as an expose of how<br />
cheap those dreams have be<strong>com</strong>e,<br />
"Futures Market" is a wise and<br />
fulfilling film that bears lofty<br />

With the long decline in US manufacturing<br />
and today's economic crisis, millions have<br />
been thrown out of work, and many are<br />
losing their homes. The usual economic<br />
solutions are not working, so some<br />
citizens and public officials are ready to<br />
think outside of the box, to reinvent our<br />
failing economy in order to restore long<br />
term <strong>com</strong>munity stability and a more<br />
egalitarian way of life.<br />
There is growing interest in firms that are<br />
owned and managed by their workers.<br />
Such firms tend to be more profitable and<br />
innovative, and more <strong>com</strong>mitted to the<br />
<strong>com</strong>munities where they are based. Yet<br />
the public has little knowledge of their<br />
success, and the promise they offer for a<br />
better life.<br />
Amongst the organizations featured in<br />
SHIFT CHANGE are:<br />
Mondragon Cooperative Corporation -<br />
Begun in the 1950s, the Mondragon<br />
co-ops have transformed a depressed<br />
area of Spain into one of the most<br />
productive in Europe with a high standard<br />
of living and an egalitarian way of life.<br />
They are owned and managed by their<br />
workers. Seeing the achievements of the<br />
MCC helps to over<strong>com</strong>e the<br />
idea-widespread in North America-that<br />
worker run cooperatives can only exist on<br />
the economic fringe.<br />
The Evergreen Cooperatives in Cleveland,<br />
OH - This is an ambitious urban<br />
redevelopment model, directly inspired by<br />
Mondragon, where local institutions and<br />
public officials are supporting green<br />
cooperatives of previously marginalized,<br />
predominantly African American workers,<br />
who provide <strong>com</strong>mercial laundry services,<br />
install solar energy systems, and grow<br />
vegetables in vast urban greenhouses.<br />
Arizmendi Association of Cooperatives,<br />
San Francisco, California - Started 30<br />
years ago, there are now six of these<br />
independent worker owned and managed<br />
cooperative bakeries that work together to<br />
provide the financial and legal services<br />
they need, and to incubate new coop<br />
bakeries.<br />
Equal Exchange, Boston MA: Founded in<br />
1986, Equal Exchange is one of the<br />
largest roasters of fair trade coffee in the<br />
world.<br />
Reviews<br />
� "A <strong>com</strong>pelling story of real<br />
possibilities at a time when many<br />
think there are no solutions to this<br />
current difficult economic situation." -<br />
Paul Hazen, President & CEO,<br />
National Cooperative Business<br />
Association<br />
� "Gorgeous! Simply beautiful! I love<br />
what I see so far. The U.S. Federation<br />
of Worker Cooperatives strongly<br />
supports this project." - Melissa<br />
Hoover, Executive Director, U.S.<br />
Federation of Worker Cooperatives<br />
� "One of the barriers to fostering<br />
cooperative values and businesses in<br />
North America is the lack of<br />
awareness of the benefits that well<br />
organized cooperatives with good<br />
business practices can offer to<br />
workers and <strong>com</strong>munities. Educating<br />
the public to the cooperative<br />
approach to business is an important<br />
contribution which Shift Change can<br />
make." - Ted Howard, Executive<br />

STRATEGY<br />
With Richard Rumelt<br />
� Steve Jobs' plan for Apple in 1997:<br />
hatchet job or strategy?<br />
� Why financial performance goals are<br />
not strategy.<br />
� Creating proximate goals and "riding<br />
the wave" of change.<br />
Bad strategy is long on goals and vision<br />
and short on presenting a coherent set of<br />
actions for actually solving the<br />
fundamental problems facing an<br />
organization. Good strategy, on the other<br />
hand, flows from an honest diagnosis of<br />
your most critical challenge coupled with<br />
an action plan for specific objectives that<br />
your organization can reasonably<br />
ac<strong>com</strong>plish to over<strong>com</strong>e that challenge.<br />
Drawing on the successes of General<br />
Motors in the 1920s, NASA's Apollo<br />
program, Cisco, IKEA, and Nvidia,<br />
Professor Rumelt defines five elements of<br />
good strategies. First, use analytic tools to<br />
develop insight into the nature of your<br />
challenge. Then, define achievable<br />
proximate objectives toward your goal,<br />
recognize and ride the wave of change in<br />
your industry, build a "chain link" barrier to<br />
<strong>com</strong>petition, and finally, expect and<br />
over<strong>com</strong>e entropy and inertia from within.<br />

PIRATES PIRATES AND AND PRIVATEE<br />
PRIVATEERS<br />
PRIVATEE RS<br />
Pirates and Privateers and their role in the<br />
rough-and-tumble history of the Maritimes.<br />
Hundreds of years ago, the secluded<br />
coves and inlets of the Maritimes were the<br />
perfect hiding places for pirates avoiding<br />
detection by the King's Navy. This Land<br />
and Sea doc introduces the notorious<br />
pirates who plundered Atlantic Canada<br />
during the 1700s and recalls the<br />
blunderbuss, the cutlass, evil deeds and<br />
even rumours of buried treasure.<br />
Not many Canadians know what is meant<br />
by the word "privateer", even though<br />
privateering was a significant social and<br />
financial force in times of war — whether<br />
against the Spanish, the French, or the<br />
Americans during the War of 1812.<br />
PIRATES AND PRIVATEERS explains<br />
how the business of privateering worked,<br />
as practiced in one of Canada's most<br />
successful privateering centres: Liverpool,<br />
Nova Scotia.<br />

For the first time, this documentary reveals<br />
the dramatic stories of the Canadians<br />
aboard this iconic ship ─ a railway<br />
magnate, a songstress, a chemist, a<br />
sculptor, a young Armenian fleeing<br />
persecution and many others.<br />
Among the more than 2,200 passengers<br />
and crew were 130 men, women and<br />
children bound for Canada. They came<br />
from all walks of life, some called Canada<br />
home, others chose this country as a<br />
place of opportunity or refuge. In two<br />
hours of dramatic and emotional<br />
story-telling, we reveal for the first time the<br />
stories of the Canadians aboard through<br />
letters, diaries and first-hand accounts<br />
from surviving family members. Their<br />
stories are about hope and heartbreak —<br />
about souls both lost and saved — the<br />
legacy of which still resonates today, from<br />
British Columbia to <strong>New</strong>foundland.<br />

BEETHOVEN<br />
By the age of seven, Ludwig van<br />
Beethoven was a child prodigy. By the<br />
time of his premature death, 30,000<br />
mourners turned out for his funeral. Today,<br />
Germany's greatest <strong>com</strong>poser is no less<br />
than a musical legend.<br />
From Bonn to Vienna, we examine his<br />
remarkable music and bittersweet life of<br />
the man who brought classical music into<br />
the Romantic era – a true master who<br />
continued to <strong>com</strong>pose, perform and<br />

BERLIOZ<br />
BERLIOZ<br />
In his music and his life, Hector Berlioz<br />
was a passionate romantic. From his first<br />
crush at the age of 12 to his last love at 61,<br />
women were at the core of his inspiration<br />
and his existence.<br />
Largely self-taught, the irrepressible<br />
genius of French Romanticism found his<br />
greatest success in life beyond his native<br />
land.<br />
From Rome and Florence to Paris and<br />
Nice, we follow in his tracks to reveal his<br />
prodigious passion for music and more.<br />
Along the way, we meet his biographers<br />
as well as contemporary greats like<br />
conductor Sir Colin Davis, the first man to<br />
record the <strong>com</strong>plete works of Berlioz.<br />

BIZET<br />
The <strong>com</strong>poser of the world's best loved<br />
opera died at the age of just 36 –<br />
convinced that his work was a <strong>com</strong>plete<br />
failure. The letters and personal diaries of<br />
Georges Bizet reveal a personality torn<br />
between social acceptance and artistic<br />
success.<br />
It would be five years after his death<br />
before Carmen returned to the Paris stage<br />
to rapturous reviews. We travel to Paris<br />
and Rome to follow in the footsteps of his<br />
brief but productive life. In between we<br />
follow the rehearsals for a production in<br />
Orange, France.<br />
The great <strong>com</strong>poser's life is revealed by<br />
his principal biographer and his work by<br />
the contemporary singers, musicians and<br />
conductor of the beloved Carmen.<br />

CHOPIN<br />
Frederic Chopin left a musical legacy of<br />
some 225 works, yet what we know of the<br />
great <strong>com</strong>poser is largely cliches.<br />
A master of Romantic music, Chopin was<br />
a <strong>com</strong>plex personality with a dual<br />
allegiance to his native Poland and his<br />
adopted France.<br />
In death, his body lies in Paris but, at his<br />
own request, his heart is buried in<br />
Warsaw.<br />
Our examination of his life leads from<br />
Poland to France and Majorca to uncover<br />
the diverse influences on his music.<br />

LISZT LISZT<br />
LISZT<br />
Franz Liszt is considered to be one of the<br />
first superstar's of music.<br />
The power of his performances on stage<br />
made the ladies swoon, and his fans were<br />
so fierce that his contemporaries gave a<br />
name to this phenomenon: Lisztomania.<br />
This young Hungarian prodigy was often<br />
<strong>com</strong>pared to Mozart and helped to<br />
revolutionize the world of the piano. He<br />
was a <strong>com</strong>poser, conductor, pianist and<br />
teacher and was the inventor of the<br />
symphonic poem.<br />
This documentary takes us in the<br />
footsteps of the indomitable virtuoso<br />
throughout Europe.<br />
From Parisian salons to the sublime<br />
shores of Lake Como, from Budapest to<br />
Weimar via Rome or Geneva, this<br />
revealing program then meets supporters<br />
of the memory of Liszt and pianists who<br />
dare to confront his work.<br />
But if the <strong>com</strong>poser of the famous<br />
Hungarian Rhapsodies was a tireless<br />
traveler, he was also that way in his love<br />
life.<br />
Among his many female conquests were<br />
the two major women in his life, the<br />
Countess Marie d'Agoult and Princess<br />
Carolyne Sayn-Wittgenstein. Liszt's life<br />
was full of turmoil, but it was also one of<br />
great brilliance and genius.<br />
This informative and entertaining<br />
documentary explores a life worthy of its<br />
heroic era which saw the birth of<br />
Romanticism.<br />

JASCH JASCHA JASCH A HEIFETZ: GOD'S<br />
FIDDLER<br />
FIDDLER<br />
Director: Peter Rosen<br />
In this revealing documentary about the<br />
legendary musician we see vintage filmed<br />
performance clips of Jascha Heifetz and<br />
learn that he was the first truly modern<br />
violin virtuoso, the man about whom Itzhak<br />
Perlman said, "When I spoke with him, I<br />
thought, 'I can't believe I'm talking with<br />
God'."<br />
This insightful film portrays an artist for<br />
whom only perfection would do, a musical<br />
wunderkind who went on to set the<br />
standards for nearly a century.<br />
We get to know Jascha Heifetz through<br />
home movies and personal family photos<br />
taken from 1903-1987, a prestigious<br />
concert artist so well known in popular<br />
culture, his name became shorthand for<br />
greatness, for everyone from Jack Benny<br />
to The Muppets to Woody Allen.<br />
This unique program includes interviews<br />
with the great violinists of his generation,<br />
and from many of his former students,<br />
telling how Heifetz was a legendary but<br />
mysterious figure whose story embodies<br />
the dual nature of artistic genius: the<br />
paradox of how a mortal man lives with<br />
immortal gifts - gifts he must honor, but<br />
which extract a life long price.<br />
Are the man and the artist the same<br />
person? What is the price each pays? And<br />
who was the man behind the music?<br />
This illuminating program helps answer<br />
these questions about one of the greatest<br />
musicians of our time.<br />

PIANIST<br />
The Legacy of Rosina Lhevinne: A Portrait<br />
of the Legendary Pianist explores the<br />
nature of art, creativity and the human<br />
potential through the extraordinary life and<br />
ac<strong>com</strong>plishments of the legendary<br />
Russian pianist and master teacher<br />
Rosina Lhevinne (1880-1976).<br />
In this film we will learn how her career<br />
blossomed after age 65, as she taught<br />
such now world-famous pupils as John<br />
Browning, Van Cliburn, Misha Dichter,<br />
James Levine, Hiroko Nakamura, Kun<br />
Woo Paik, Daniel Pollack, Jeffrey Siegel,<br />
and John Williams. They recount how<br />
Lhevinne profoundly influenced them with<br />
her 19th century pianistic tradition,<br />
inspired them with her humanity, and<br />
encouraged them to develop their<br />
individuality.<br />
Rosina Lhevinne's remarkable solo<br />
performing career began at age 75 and<br />
climaxed at age 82 when she made her<br />
spectacular debut with the <strong>New</strong> York<br />
Philharmonic under the direction of<br />
Leonard Bernstein, playing Chopin's Piano<br />
Concerto in E minor.<br />
This extraordinarily beautiful performance,<br />
as well as her previously unreleased<br />
chamber music recordings, is heard<br />
throughout the film.<br />
The Lhevinne story is told in her own<br />
words through informal conversations,<br />
recording sessions, archival film and<br />
teaching footage. Adding a special<br />
dimension are her students' performances<br />
and many insightful interviews with her<br />
colleagues: pianist Arthur Rubinstein,<br />
musicologist Nicolas Slonimsky, violinist<br />
Robert Mann, and her daughter Marianna<br />
Lhevinne Graham.<br />
Mme. Lhevinne's passion for life and<br />
music infuses the documentary, educating<br />
and inspiring the viewer. The Legacy of<br />
Rosina Lhevinne: A Portrait of the<br />
Legendary Pianist stands as a testament<br />
to the resiliency of the human spirit and its<br />
ability to endure, transform, nurture and<br />
flourish.<br />

DIARY<br />
All that is certain about Sergei Prokofiev is<br />
that he was a musical genius and one of<br />
the greatest <strong>com</strong>posers of the 20th<br />
Century.<br />
With the discovery of his personal diaries,<br />
the mystery that was Prokofiev is about to<br />
be revealed. Prokofiev fled Russia shortly<br />
after the Bolshevik Revolution. He spent<br />
the next eighteen years trying to build a<br />
successful career in North America and<br />
Europe. Then, he made a decision which<br />
stunned the world: he returned to Russia<br />
in 1936, at the height of the Stalinist<br />
purges.<br />
Now more than fifty years after his death,<br />
this documentary reveals the largely<br />
untold story about the pivotal eighteen<br />
years (1918-1936) outside Russia, the<br />
years which sealed his fate.<br />
Through the intimate, revealing and often<br />
heartbreaking words of Prokofiev's diaries,<br />
the film investigates Prokofiev's life and art<br />
through his own words and the prism of<br />
some of his most extraordinary musical<br />
creations.<br />

NEVEL<br />
Paul Van Nevel shares the melancholia<br />
and earthy tastes of the Renaissance and<br />
has been performing the music of the<br />
period for many years.<br />
He <strong>com</strong>bs libraries for forgotten<br />
<strong>com</strong>positions and insists on reading the<br />
original scores, finding nuances which<br />
guide his interpretations.<br />
But he is also insatiably curious about the<br />
concrete realities of Renaissance life.<br />
He takes us back to a world in which time<br />
moved more slowly, although lives were<br />
shorter, and the dead kept watch over the<br />
living, where dreams held sway and<br />
children saw mountains and marvels<br />
wherever they looked, when the age of<br />
exploration was still dawning and the<br />
'landscape' still taking shape.<br />
When Van Nevel contemplates the<br />
Franco-Flemish landscapes into which all<br />
the great contrapuntists were born, he<br />
sees their <strong>com</strong>positions reflected.<br />
Through him the hills and valleys suddenly<br />
start to sing Gombert, Manchicourt or<br />
Lassus and we be<strong>com</strong>e once more the<br />
dreamers of another age.<br />

The documentary of record on the<br />
environmental movement.<br />
A FIERCE GREEN FIRE: The Battle For a<br />
Living Planet is the first big-picture<br />
exploration of the environmental<br />
movement - grassroots and global<br />
activism spanning fifty years from<br />
conservation to climate change. From<br />
halting dams in the Grand Canyon to<br />
battling 20,000 tons of toxic waste at Love<br />
Canal; from Greenpeace saving the<br />
whales to Chico Mendes and the<br />
rubbertappers saving the Amazon; from<br />
climate change to the promise of<br />
transforming our civilization... the film tells<br />
vivid stories about people fighting - and<br />
succeeding - against enormous odds.<br />
The film is divided into five "acts".<br />
Act 1 focuses on the conservation<br />
movement of the `60s, David Brower and<br />
the Sierra Club's battle to halt dams in the<br />
Grand Canyon.<br />
Act 2 looks at the new environmental<br />
movement of the `70s with its emphasis on<br />
pollution, focusing on the battle led by Lois<br />
Gibbs over Love Canal.<br />
Act 3 is about alternative ecology strands<br />
and the main story is Greenpeace's<br />
campaign to save the whales.<br />
Act 4 explores global resource issues and<br />
crises of the `80s, focusing on the struggle<br />
to save the Amazon led by Chico Mendes<br />
and the rubber tappers.<br />
Act 5 concerns climate change.<br />

University of Colorado<br />

SHATTERED SHATTERED SKY<br />
SKY<br />
Directed by Steve Dorst, Dan Evans<br />
The story of how America led the world to<br />
solve the ozone crisis. Will we dare to do<br />
the same with climate change?<br />
Thirty years ago, scientists reported a hole<br />
in the ozone layer "the size of North<br />
America." The culprits were man-made<br />
chemicals called CFCs, which were<br />
prevalent in billions of dollars worth of<br />
refrigeration, air conditioning and other<br />
products that had revolutionized America's<br />
way of life.<br />
With doctors forecasting skyrocketing<br />
cancer rates if changes weren't made, the<br />
stakes were literally "life as we know it."<br />
Yet <strong>com</strong>panies remained bitterly opposed<br />
to changing their products. Politicians<br />
were slow to act. Like with today's CO2<br />
emissions, an invisible <strong>com</strong>pound was<br />
threatening the Earth's life-support<br />
systems, but a solution seemed beyond<br />
reach.<br />
Eerily reminiscent of today's energy and<br />
climate crisis, Shattered Sky tells the story<br />
of how America led the world in solving the<br />
biggest environmental crisis ever seen.<br />
Those interviewed include William Becker,<br />
Richard Benedick, Eileen Claussen, David<br />

Reviews<br />
� "Well worth seeing because it reminds<br />
us that, until very recently, the<br />
environment was not a partisan<br />
issue." - Sustainable Business Forum<br />
� "This film reminds us of a time not<br />
long ago when we put politics aside<br />
and led the world to solve a global<br />
environmental challenge. We must do<br />
this again." - Larry Schweiger,<br />
President and CEO, National Wildlife<br />
Federation<br />
� "Watch this film. It shows we've been<br />
there before, and <strong>com</strong>e out the other<br />
side with a clear victory-for both<br />
business and the environment." - Lee<br />

JACKIE JACKIE MASON: MASON: MASON: ONE<br />

ANGRY ANGRY MAN<br />
MAN<br />
Modeled after the stage and screen<br />
production Twelve Angry Men, One Angry<br />
Man is the court-room dram-edy starring<br />
Jackie Mason as himself.<br />
Weeks before the premier of Jackie<br />
Mason's latest Broadway show, Jackie<br />
has been called to jury duty. Just like<br />
everyone else, he is reluctant to serve;<br />
naturally, he employs the talents of his<br />
lawyer, Raoul Felder, to help relieve him of<br />
his civic duty. During the selection process,<br />
Jackie is questioned by the prosecution<br />
and the defense. Jackie is so offended by<br />
the defense's questions, he talks his way<br />
right onto the jury. The jury is set: people<br />
from all walks of life: the Arabic foreman<br />
(Nicholas Viselli), an Italian sleaze-ball<br />
(Tony Darrow), a gay gossip columnist<br />
(Mo Mandel), a transvestite (Frank<br />
Anthony Polito), a country music singer<br />
(Brandon Kinney), a 9/11 rescue worker<br />
(Rolando Millet), a self-hating Jew (Marty<br />
McDonough), a psychologist (Paul<br />
Borghese), a feminist (Pamela Sabaugh),<br />
a model (Stacey Sipowicz), a teacher<br />
(Mike <strong>New</strong>man), and of course, Jackie<br />
Mason.<br />
On trial for murdering a decorated police<br />
veteran is Yusef (Justin P. Nardecchia), an<br />
Arabic teenager. The judge (Mark Levin)<br />
instructs the jury not to hurry their decision<br />
and also not to be harassed by Jackie.<br />
The jury is ushered into their deliberating<br />
room by the Bailiff (Dick Capri) where they<br />
begin their process.<br />
Inside the jury room Jackie creates utter<br />
chaos and takes it upon himself to<br />
convince the otherwise "not guilty" leaning<br />
jury that Yusef is guilty. The characters<br />
share stories with one another about their<br />
lives and experiences, tempers flare,<br />
emotions run rampant, and Jackie realizes<br />
he may have made a mistake. Jackie,<br />
being soft-hearted as he is, takes<br />
responsibility and tries re-convincing<br />
everyone that Yusef is innocent. This is a<br />
must-see DVD for all <strong>com</strong>edy lovers and<br />
Jackie Mason fans.<br />

FANTOME FANTOME ISLAND<br />
ISLAND<br />
By Sean Gilligan and Adrian Strong<br />
In 1945 seven-year-old Joe Eggmolesse<br />
was diagnosed with Leprosy. He was<br />
taken from his family under police escort<br />
and transported by rail and sea over a<br />
thousand kilometres to Fantome Island<br />
where he was to be incarcerated for the<br />
next ten years.<br />
The isolated tropical island off the North<br />
Queensland coast became home to a<br />
close-knit <strong>com</strong>munity of indigenous<br />
"lepers" whose marginalized existence<br />
was hidden from white society and has<br />
until now remained absent from the<br />
mainstream historical record. Cared for by<br />
nuns from the Franciscan Missionaries of<br />
Mary their isolation was the consequence<br />
of apartheid-like policies developed by the<br />
Queensland government and medical<br />
establishment which espoused a<br />
eugenicist philosophy and regarded racial<br />
segregation as standard practice.<br />
As one of the few surviving former patients<br />
Joe returns to the island for a long awaited<br />
event, the Fantome Island Remembrance<br />
Day. As a 73 year old Elder he confronts<br />
the memory of his childhood on the island<br />
to pay tribute to those who lived and died<br />
there and to inscribe his own unique story<br />
into official Australian history. Drawing on<br />
an evocative archive, this film exposes<br />
how an ideology of racism and eugenics<br />
worked to justify horrific treatment of<br />
Australia's Indigenous <strong>com</strong>munities. In<br />
uncovering this shameful history, Fantome<br />
Island is a testimony of strength and<br />
endurance, demonstrating one man's<br />
incredible capacity for forgiveness and<br />
love.<br />

SYSTEMS<br />
Multinational BAE Systems make<br />
everything from aircraft to missiles and big<br />
profits.They make big profits,create skilled<br />
jobs and use cutting edge technology. But<br />
is it in an immoral business?<br />
GLOBAL BUSINESS:<br />
Originally formed from a merger of British<br />
aviation <strong>com</strong>panies in the 1970s, BAE was<br />
originally called British Aerospace. Now<br />
it's ditched the British title and goes for<br />
global sales. 47% of its business <strong>com</strong>es<br />
from the US and 29% from the UK. The<br />
key objection critics make against BAE is<br />
that they're arming over 100 countries<br />
around the world. And in countries like<br />
Bahrain BAE's weapons are used to<br />
subdue pro-democracy demonstrations.<br />
CORRUPTION:<br />
It's also been accused of corruption in its<br />
business dealings. In 2004 the UK's<br />
Serious Fraud Office started investigating<br />
BAE for paying bribes to win contracts in<br />
Saudia Arabia. But the prime minister at<br />
the time Tony Blair closed the investigation<br />
down, saying Britain's "strategic interest"<br />
came first. In Tanzania, too, BAE was<br />
involved in a corruption scandal and even<br />
tried to withhold <strong>com</strong>pensation payments it<br />
was ordered to pay to the country.<br />
SOURCE OF JOBS?<br />
BAE is praised for creating jobs – but<br />
critics claim the British tax payer is<br />
subsidising those jobs. Much of the money<br />
spent on research and development which<br />
benefits the arms industry <strong>com</strong>es from the<br />
public purse, too. Some say the money<br />
would be better spent on other areas, such<br />
as green technology. BAE has also been<br />
accused of being too close to the UK<br />
government, with former civil servants and<br />
ex-ministers regularly <strong>com</strong>ing to work for<br />
them: the "revolving door syndrome".<br />
BAE's supporters say we need an arms<br />
industry to defend ourselves. Critics say<br />
making arms is immoral.<br />

PRIMARK<br />
Primark is one of the most well known<br />

fast fashion at low prices. But what does<br />
this mean for the people in poor countries<br />
who make the clothes? The pressure to be<br />
fast and cheap means low wages,<br />

labour. But, following protests and<br />

I I I DREAM DREAM OF OF MUMMERS<br />
MUMMERS<br />
By Adela Peeva<br />
I Dream of Mummers is a story about a<br />
custom, called kukeri, in which masked<br />
people dance at the end of Winter and the<br />
beginning of Spring. The custom's origins<br />
are hidden far back in the past — a<br />
tradition that has be<strong>com</strong>e part of the<br />
history of an entire nation. It is found in<br />
many places in Bulgaria, but here, in the<br />
village of Sushitsa, it has almost<br />
<strong>com</strong>pletely preserved its authenticity and<br />
can still be seen as it was performed<br />
centuries ago.<br />
For people here, this is the biggest feast of<br />
the year, and today, on its eve, the entire<br />
village is preparing for the celebration.<br />
Bells are tinkling, costumes and masks<br />
are taken out of drawers and attics.<br />
Everything looks just as it did in an old<br />
newsreel found in the National Film<br />
Archives. In 1942 — more than 60 years<br />
ago — cameras filmed the same<br />
celebration in the same village. Here the<br />
tradition is handed down from generation<br />
to generation, from father to son, and<br />
when shown this archival footage, some<br />
people in the village recognized their<br />
fathers and grandfathers. One man<br />
recognized his father and another saw his<br />
grandfather as a young man with curly<br />
mustache.<br />
This is a film about a small village and its<br />
inhabitants, about an ancient tradition that<br />
they have preserved almost intact to this<br />
day, and about a friendship as undying as<br />
the tradition itself.<br />

JATHILAN: JATHILAN: TRANCE TRANCE AND<br />
AND<br />
POSSESSION POSSESSION IN IN JAVA<br />
JAVA<br />
By Robert Lemelson<br />
Practiced in Java for centuries, Jathilan is<br />
a folk dance that uses the power of music<br />
and dance to channel powerful and<br />
sometimes terrifying forces. Led by a<br />
spiritual guide and a whip-bearing<br />
ringleader, a group of dancers ride woven<br />
horses in rhythmic unison until they are<br />
entered by spirits. Once possessed they<br />
engage in a range of self-mortification<br />
behaviors until safely emerging from their<br />
altered state, left with no memory of the<br />
event and no lingering ill effects.<br />
The film <strong>com</strong>bines footage of a number of<br />
Jathilan performances with interviews with<br />
dancers, spiritual leaders, anthropologists,<br />
and enthusiasts. This extraordinary<br />
practice be<strong>com</strong>es more than just<br />
spectacle as Jathilan is contextualized<br />
within broader processes of Indonesian<br />
historical, political and social change and<br />
the viewer is provided a window into the<br />
subjective experiences of those who<br />
participate. Multiple interpretations of<br />
Jathilan's significance ultimately emerge,<br />
from an empirical proof of spiritual<br />
presence, to a strategy of <strong>com</strong>munity<br />
building, to a resistant expression of folk<br />
identity.<br />

MONSTERS<br />
By Robert Lemelson<br />
The film focuses on a growing boy, Wayan<br />
Yoga, and is not so much about illness as<br />
it is an exploration of the protective<br />
aspects of culture that may guide<br />
developmental neuropsychiatric<br />
processes. At six years old, Wayan Yoga<br />
is an energetic boy who flies kites and is<br />
obsessed with the monsters of Balinese<br />
mythology. He also has various tics, which<br />
move his parents to seek treatment. At<br />
twenty, he is a young man planning his<br />
career as a chef and an expressive<br />
Balinese dancer. Ultimately, Wayan Yoga's<br />
tics are insignificant to his evolving sense<br />
of self-<strong>com</strong>pared to the saturation of<br />
symbols, images, and narratives of his<br />
culture. While Wayan must learn to<br />
negotiate the kinds of movements,<br />
interests, and goals that are culturally<br />
appropriate, the protective buffer of his<br />
family guides him successfully into<br />
normative Balinese adulthood.<br />

By Robert Lemelson<br />
The film focuses on Bambang Rudjito, a<br />
university-educated Indonesian man in his<br />
late thirties diagnosed with schizoaffective<br />
disorder. It explores the "globalized"<br />
features of Bambang's illness and<br />
recovery narrative — western psychiatric<br />
diagnostics and pharmaceuticals, work<br />
opportunities in a rapidly changing urban<br />
environment, participation in an interfaith<br />
religious <strong>com</strong>munity, and his family's<br />
understanding and acceptance of what<br />
Bambang describes as a "mental<br />
disability." But it also considers aspects of<br />
Bambang's more <strong>com</strong>plex, historically and<br />
politically shaded narrative, giving<br />
language and a deeper substance to his<br />
illness experience. Memory of My Face<br />
illustrates how the residues of colonialism<br />
and the pervasive influence of<br />
globalization affect the subjective<br />
experience of mental illness.<br />

BURDENS<br />
By Robert Lemelson<br />
The film focuses on Ni Ketut Kasih who<br />
has lived her whole life surrounded by the<br />
<strong>com</strong>plex rhythms of the Balinese ritual<br />
calendar. Here, participation in ritual<br />
events is both a spiritual mandate and<br />
social obligation for women who spend<br />
countless hours crafting offerings. Ni<br />
Ketut's masterful hand has contributed to<br />
her status as a highly respected<br />
ceremonial leader. However, the<br />
pressures of ritual requirements often<br />
overwhelm her, crowding her mind with<br />
memories of her difficult childhood during<br />
Indonesia's war for independence. This<br />
may trigger Ketut's bi-polar disorder<br />
episodes, for which she has been<br />
hospitalized over 35 times. Ni Ketut's case<br />
reveals the binding associations that may<br />
make certain burdens unbearable as<br />
cultural obligations, traumatic historical<br />
events, and personal experience overlap<br />
in unique schemas of stress that trigger<br />
cyclical episodes of mental illness.<br />

SILENCE<br />
Out in the Silence examines gay rights<br />
and issues. The announcement of<br />
filmmaker Joe Wilson's wedding to<br />
another man ignited a firestorm of<br />
controversy several years ago in the small<br />
Pennsylvania town of Oil City -- a place he<br />
left behind long ago. Drawn back by a plea<br />
for help from the mother of a gay teen<br />
being tormented at school, Wilson takes<br />
viewers on an exhilarating journey through<br />
love, hate, and understanding in rural<br />
America. Filmmakers will be in the WPSU<br />
studios as the station premieres the work.<br />
"Out in the Silence" debuts on WPSU-TV<br />
on Friday, Sept. 11 at 9 p.m. as part of the<br />
station's fall pledge drive. Portions of the<br />
documentary as well as other outreach<br />

Silence" takes viewers on a personal<br />
journey through conservative small town<br />
America as the filmmaker be<strong>com</strong>es<br />
immersed in the battle over gay visibility<br />
and equality that unfolds in his hometown<br />
in Venango County, Pa. over a three year<br />
period. With camera in hand, Wilson<br />
engages with traditional-values activists,<br />
conservative politicians, school authorities<br />
and everyday local folks. He follows the<br />
trials and tribulations of a grassroots effort<br />
to promote diversity and tolerance in the<br />
area and forms an unlikely and<br />
transformative friendship with a<br />
fundamentalist preacher.<br />

Adele's Wish is the remarkable story of an<br />
84-year-old Los Angeles woman's struggle<br />
to recover five rare paintings stolen from<br />
her family by the Nazis in 1938. The<br />
artworks were painted by world-renowned<br />
Austrian artist Gustav Klimt. For nearly a<br />
decade, Maria Altmann and her lawyer,<br />
Randol Schoenberg, battle Austria for the<br />
return of these incredibly valuable<br />
paintings. Although it begins as a legal<br />
dispute, the struggle quickly turns into a<br />
political, cultural, and ethical confrontation.<br />
In the process, Austria is forced to<br />
re-examine not only its role in Nazi art<br />
thefts, but also its anti-Semitic past.<br />

This documentary, made with the<br />

first 30 years of his life which were totally<br />
unknown: his happy childhood in Marseille,<br />
the painful loss of his mother, his classic<br />
training at the hard Russian school, his<br />
father's death, the philosopher Gaston<br />
Berger, the debuts in Birgit Cullberg's<br />

All these events marked the dancer, the<br />
choreographer, the artist, the thinker, and<br />
they throw a new light on his work. It is the<br />

shown in this film which proposes a global<br />
vision of this already legendary figure of<br />
dance.<br />

The borough Treptow in Berlin on the 28th<br />
of January 2003.<br />
In a former omnibus depot in an industrial<br />
backwater something amazing is<br />
happening.<br />
250 pupils from 25 nations are dancing to<br />
Stravinsky's 'Sacre du Printemps', which<br />
they have rehearsed for nearly three<br />
months, trained by the British<br />
choreographer Royston Maldoom and<br />
ac<strong>com</strong>panied by the Berlin Philharmonic<br />
Orchestra under its chief conductor, Sir<br />
Simon Rattle.<br />
RHYTHM IS IT! follows the fascinating<br />
process leading to the Sacre performance,<br />
the most ambitious project in the<br />
Zukunft@BPhil program for the year 2003.<br />
It shows the first efforts at dancing made<br />
by youngsters, few of whom had prior<br />
knowledge of classical music and<br />
expressive dance; it shows the<br />
perseverance, affection and patience with<br />
which Royston Maldoom and his<br />
assistants Susannah Broughton and<br />
Volker Eisenach care for them, and it<br />
shows the auxiliary efforts of teachers and<br />
the rehearsals of the Berlin Philharmonic<br />
Orchestra held during the same period.<br />
Through the eyes of three young<br />
protagonists we take part in the project's<br />
development, its ups and downs, doubts<br />
and enthusiasms, uncertainties and<br />
renewals of self-confidence.<br />
It is a fascinating journey into new,<br />
undreamed-of worlds and reveals<br />
surprising facets of the protagonists'<br />
personalities.<br />

900 900 DAYS<br />
DAYS<br />
Directed by Jessica Gorter<br />
Is it better to acknowledge an unpalatable<br />
truth or to embrace the <strong>com</strong>fort of myth?<br />
Jessica Gorter's 900 DAYS contrasts the<br />
devastating and unforgettable stories<br />
recounted by survivors of the Siege of<br />
Leningrad, the infamous German<br />
blockade, which caused the deaths of<br />
more than 1 million people during World<br />
War II, with the triumphant memorials<br />
fabricated by the Russian state.<br />
The blockade, one of the most incredible,<br />
defining events of World War II, remains<br />
largely unremembered outside of Russia.<br />
In September 1941, the 3 million<br />
inhabitants of the city now known as St.<br />
Petersburg were trapped without food or<br />
drinking water. For 900 days of subzero<br />
temperatures, people had to eat glue,<br />
leather soles, cats, and perhaps even their<br />
fellow human beings. When the city finally<br />
opened up again, nearly a million had<br />
died.<br />
Immediately after the war, investigations of<br />

the blockade were forbidden. The Soviet<br />
propaganda machine transformed the<br />
survivors into a symbol of national heroism,<br />
silencing any questions about Stalin's war<br />
policy and its toll on the lives of ordinary<br />
Russians.<br />
In 900 DAYS, Gorter employs newly<br />
declassified material from the Secret<br />
Service archives that reveals, in coldly<br />
impersonal statistics, the extent of<br />
cannibalism in the blockaded city and the<br />
population's fury with their own authorities.<br />
Footage of present-day Russian<br />
memorials to the survivors of the siege<br />
illustrate the persistence of the official,<br />
heroic account of the event even in light of<br />
this new information.<br />
Elsewhere in the film, survivors speak<br />
openly, many for the first time in their lives,<br />
about their experiences and the post-war<br />
censorship. Their painful memories<br />
overshadow the public myth in which<br />
some of them had previously participated.<br />
All their lives they have been told they<br />
were heroes who guided the country<br />
toward victory, but they are increasingly<br />
aware that true recognition of their<br />
traumatic experience and the ruinous<br />
policies that allowed it to continue is still,<br />
even after half a century, far away.<br />

artists and political activists are returning<br />
to Marx's ideas in order to try to make<br />
sense of the crisis and to consider whether<br />
a world without or beyond capitalism is<br />
possible. Is the severity of the ongoing<br />
recession a sign that the capitalist<br />
system's days are numbered? Ironically,<br />
20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall,<br />
could it be that <strong>com</strong>munism might provide<br />
the solution to the growing economic and<br />
environmental challenges facing the<br />
planet?<br />

COUNSELING<br />
COUNSELING<br />
Nothing can be more effective in learning<br />
than seeing how your actions as a<br />
counselor affect your client. It can be<br />
especially helpful in ethnically diverse<br />
situations. MULTIcultural Counseling<br />
explores the tension that can occur in<br />
these situations. Why is this two video<br />
series so essential to today's counselor<br />
and teacher? Because it focuses on the<br />
potential barrier between a counselor and<br />
client who have different cultural<br />
backgrounds. This unique series presents<br />
seven different vignettes of multicultural<br />
counseling sessions on two convenient<br />
videocassettes. Program 1 focuses on<br />
situations involving ethnic and racial<br />
concerns. Program 2 discusses issues<br />
related to religious and gender identity,<br />
career, and language. Each vignette (or<br />
counselor/client dyad) incorporates the<br />
techniques of self-talk -- you hear the<br />
thoughts of both the client and counselor --<br />
which heightens the awareness of internal<br />
processes that occur during interactions.<br />
Understanding what both client and<br />
counselor are thinking affects the out<strong>com</strong>e<br />
of the session. This series also includes<br />
two carefully structured and detailed<br />
Instructor Workbooks. These workbooks<br />
discuss specific issues from each vignette<br />
and include practical exercises which lead<br />
the viewer to a fuller understanding of the<br />
influence that differences of culture make<br />
in the counseling process. The purpose of<br />
MULTIcultural Counseling is to help you<br />
and your trainees learn how cultural<br />
differences apply to counseling.<br />

SYSTEMS<br />
Multinational BAE Systems make<br />
everything from aircraft to missiles and big<br />
profits.They make big profits,create skilled<br />
jobs and use cutting edge technology. But<br />
is it in an immoral business?<br />
GLOBAL BUSINESS:<br />
Originally formed from a merger of British<br />
aviation <strong>com</strong>panies in the 1970s, BAE was<br />
originally called British Aerospace. Now<br />
it's ditched the British title and goes for<br />
global sales. 47% of its business <strong>com</strong>es<br />
from the US and 29% from the UK. The<br />
key objection critics make against BAE is<br />
that they're arming over 100 countries<br />
around the world. And in countries like<br />
Bahrain BAE's weapons are used to<br />
subdue pro-democracy demonstrations.<br />
CORRUPTION:<br />
It's also been accused of corruption in its<br />
business dealings. In 2004 the UK's<br />
Serious Fraud Office started investigating<br />
BAE for paying bribes to win contracts in<br />
Saudia Arabia. But the prime minister at<br />
the time Tony Blair closed the investigation<br />
down, saying Britain's "strategic interest"<br />
came first. In Tanzania, too, BAE was<br />
involved in a corruption scandal and even<br />
tried to withhold <strong>com</strong>pensation payments it<br />
was ordered to pay to the country.<br />
SOURCE OF JOBS?<br />
BAE is praised for creating jobs – but<br />
critics claim the British tax payer is<br />
subsidising those jobs. Much of the money<br />
spent on research and development which<br />
benefits the arms industry <strong>com</strong>es from the<br />
public purse, too. Some say the money<br />
would be better spent on other areas, such<br />
as green technology. BAE has also been<br />
accused of being too close to the UK<br />
government, with former civil servants and<br />
ex-ministers regularly <strong>com</strong>ing to work for<br />
them: the "revolving door syndrome".<br />
BAE's supporters say we need an arms<br />
industry to defend ourselves. Critics say<br />
making arms is immoral.<br />

CHASING CHASING WATER WATER<br />
WATER<br />
Directed by Pete McBride<br />
Breathtaking photography tells the story of<br />
the Colorado River, which flowed to the<br />
sea for 6 million years and now dries up 90<br />
miles short of the Sea of Cortez.<br />
After spending a decade working abroad<br />
as a photojournalist, Colorado native Pete<br />
McBride, decided to focus on something<br />
closer to his home and his heart: the<br />
Colorado River which cuts through his<br />
backyard. Taking nearly three years,<br />
McBride followed the river source to sea<br />
on a personal journey to see exactly<br />
where the river goes and what be<strong>com</strong>es of<br />
the irrigation water that flows across his<br />
family's cattle ranch in central Colorado<br />
after it returns to the creek.<br />
Recruiting hisfather, John, as his personal<br />
pilot McBride chose an aerial vantage to<br />
capture a unique and fresh view of the<br />
Colorado River Basin. He also partnered<br />
with Jon Waterman, an author who stayed<br />
stream level to paddle the entire length of<br />
the river.<br />
This short film takes the viewer on a 1,500<br />
mile adventure downstream, from<br />
mountains and cities and through canyons<br />
and across shrinking reservoirs. For 6<br />
million years the Colorado River flowed to<br />
the sea. Today it runs dry some 90 miles<br />
shy of its historic terminus at the Sea of<br />
Cortez.<br />
This visual journey is both revealing and<br />
alarming as it highlights the state of the<br />
river and the Southwest's drying future.<br />
Featuring the photography of Pete<br />
McBride and music by Explosions In The<br />
Sky, This Will Destroy You, Jesse Cook,<br />
and Ludovico Einaudi.<br />

BERLIN<br />
By Beate Lendt<br />
DREAMING OF A TREE HOUSE is a film<br />
about the pioneering <strong>com</strong>munity-building<br />
project of the world-famous architect Frei<br />
Otto in Berlin, called the Okohaus—an<br />
experimental, ecological, customized<br />
housing project in the city center.<br />
Including interviews with Frei Otto,<br />
Christine Kanstinger-Otto, Hermann<br />
Kendel, Yona Friedman, Anne Lacaton &<br />
Jean-Philippe Vassal, and other involved<br />
architects, planners, and inhabitants, the<br />
film shows the development and the<br />
philosophy of the project, which was built<br />
for the International Building Exhibition in<br />
Berlin 1987 (IBA).<br />
The "Ecohouse" project hosts a number of<br />
experimental solutions to adaptable home<br />
building and personalization. The film<br />
explores the ideas that motivated the<br />
project, its underlying sustainability<br />
themes, and asks how these ambitions<br />
were realized.<br />
DREAMING OF A TREE HOUSE<br />
ultimately asks: What can we learn from<br />
the Okohaus? How can its design, building<br />
process, and the experience of its 20-plus<br />
year occupation inform ecological and<br />
design issues currently relevant to our<br />
society?<br />

Directed by Mark Kitchell<br />
The documentary of record on the<br />
environmental movement.<br />
A FIERCE GREEN FIRE: The Battle For a<br />
Living Planet is the first big-picture<br />
exploration of the environmental<br />
movement - grassroots and global<br />
activism spanning fifty years from<br />
conservation to climate change. From<br />
halting dams in the Grand Canyon to<br />
battling 20,000 tons of toxic waste at Love<br />
Canal; from Greenpeace saving the<br />
whales to Chico Mendes and the<br />
rubbertappers saving the Amazon; from<br />
climate change to the promise of<br />
transforming our civilization... the film tells<br />
vivid stories about people fighting - and<br />
succeeding - against enormous odds.<br />
The film is divided into five "acts".<br />
Act 1 focuses on the conservation<br />
movement of the `60s, David Brower and<br />
the Sierra Club's battle to halt dams in the<br />
Grand Canyon.<br />
Act 2 looks at the new environmental<br />
movement of the `70s with its emphasis on<br />
pollution, focusing on the battle led by Lois<br />
Gibbs over Love Canal.<br />
Act 3 is about alternative ecology strands<br />
and the main story is Greenpeace's<br />
campaign to save the whales.<br />
Act 4 explores global resource issues and<br />
crises of the `80s, focusing on the struggle<br />
to save the Amazon led by Chico Mendes<br />
and the rubber tappers.<br />
Act 5 concerns climate change.<br />

SKY<br />
Directed by Steve Dorst, Dan Evans<br />
The story of how America led the world to<br />
solve the ozone crisis. Will we dare to do<br />
the same with climate change?<br />
Thirty years ago, scientists reported a hole<br />
in the ozone layer "the size of North<br />
America." The culprits were man-made<br />
chemicals called CFCs, which were<br />
prevalent in billions of dollars worth of<br />
refrigeration, air conditioning and other<br />
products that had revolutionized America's<br />
way of life.<br />
With doctors forecasting skyrocketing<br />
cancer rates if changes weren't made, the<br />
stakes were literally "life as we know it."<br />
Yet <strong>com</strong>panies remained bitterly opposed<br />
to changing their products. Politicians<br />
were slow to act. Like with today's CO2<br />

YOU'VE YOU'VE BEEN BEEN TRUMPED<br />
TRUMPED<br />
Directed by Anthony Baxter<br />
In this David and Goliath story for the 21st<br />
century, a group of proud Scottish<br />
homeowners take on a celebrity tycoon. At<br />
stake is one of Britain's very last stretches<br />
of wilderness.<br />
American billionaire Donald Trump has<br />
bought up hundreds of acres on the<br />
northeast coast of Scotland, best known to<br />
movie-lovers as the setting for the 1983<br />
classic film LOCAL HERO. And like the<br />
American oil tycoon played by Burt<br />
Lancaster, he needs to buy out a few more<br />
locals to make the deal <strong>com</strong>e true. In a<br />
land swimming with golf courses, Trump is<br />
going to build two more - alongside a<br />
450-room hotel and 1,500 luxury homes.<br />
The trouble is, the land he has purchased<br />
occupies one of Europe's most<br />
environmentally sensitive stretches of<br />
coast, described by one leading scientist<br />
as Scotland's Amazon rain forest. And the<br />
handful of local residents don't want it<br />
destroyed.<br />
After the Scottish Government overturns<br />
its own environmental laws to give Trump<br />
the green light, the stage is set for an<br />
extraordinary summer of discontent, as<br />
the bulldozers spring into action. Water<br />
and power is cut off, land disputes erupt,<br />
and some residents have thousands of<br />
tonnes of earth piled up next to their<br />
homes. Complaints go ignored by the<br />
police, who instead arrest the film's<br />
director, Anthony Baxter. Local<br />
exasperation <strong>com</strong>es to a surreal head as<br />
the now "Dr." Trump scoops up an<br />
honorary doctorate from a local university,<br />
even as his tractors turn wild, untouched<br />
dunes into fairways.<br />
Told entirely without narration, YOU'VE<br />
BEEN TRUMPED captures the cultural<br />
chasm between the glamorous, jet-setting<br />
and media savvy Donald Trump and a<br />
deeply rooted Scottish <strong>com</strong>munity. What<br />
begins as an often amusing clash of world<br />
views grows increasingly bitter and<br />
disturbing. For the tycoon, the golf course<br />
is just another deal, with a possible billion<br />
dollar payoff. For the residents, it<br />
represents the destruction of a globally<br />
unique landscape that has been the<br />
backdrop for their lives.<br />
Funny, inspiring and heartbreaking in turns,<br />
YOU'VE BEEN TRUMPED is both an<br />
entertaining, can't-believe-it's-true tale and<br />
an environmental parable for our celebrity<br />
driven times. A moving score features<br />
music from jonsi, the internationally<br />
acclaimed musician and frontman of Sigur<br />
Ros. The film also offers a rare and<br />
revealing glimpse of the unfiltered Donald<br />
Trump, as he considers standing as a<br />
candidate for President of the United<br />
States.<br />

When Brad Smith took over as CEO, Intuit<br />
founder Scott Cook advised him to<br />
"Question everything." Using this as his<br />
mantra, Smith set out to create innovative<br />
business structures that built on Intuit's<br />
strengths and retained market dominance<br />
in spite of an explosion in social media,<br />
unforeseen technology shifts, and radical<br />
changes in consumer expectations. In this<br />
highly informative presentation, Smith<br />
shares secrets that have led to<br />
revolutionary new products, sky-high<br />
productivity, and a ranking on Fortune's<br />
100 Best Companies to Work For.<br />
Smith describes how to articulate a vision<br />
so simple and clear that teams are aligned<br />
and motivated without the leader having to<br />
do anything but get out of the way. He<br />
details specific techniques for building a<br />
culture where innovation thrives and the<br />
next best thing could <strong>com</strong>e from anywhere<br />
in the <strong>com</strong>pany. And he explains how Intuit<br />
selects the right people, projects and<br />
metrics for prospering in the present while<br />

Multinational BAE Systems make<br />
everything from aircraft to missiles and big<br />
profits.They make big profits,create skilled<br />

is it in an immoral business?<br />
GLOBAL BUSINESS:<br />
Originally formed from a merger of British<br />
aviation <strong>com</strong>panies in the 1970s, BAE was<br />
originally called British Aerospace. Now<br />
it's ditched the British title and goes for<br />
global sales. 47% of its business <strong>com</strong>es<br />
from the US and 29% from the UK. The<br />
key objection critics make against BAE is<br />
that they're arming over 100 countries<br />
around the world. And in countries like<br />
Bahrain BAE's weapons are used to<br />
subdue pro-democracy demonstrations.<br />
CORRUPTION:<br />
It's also been accused of corruption in its<br />
business dealings. In 2004 the UK's<br />
Serious Fraud Office started investigating<br />
BAE for paying bribes to win contracts in<br />
Saudia Arabia. But the prime minister at<br />
the time Tony Blair closed the investigation<br />
down, saying Britain's "strategic interest"<br />
came first. In Tanzania, too, BAE was<br />
involved in a corruption scandal and even<br />
tried to withhold <strong>com</strong>pensation payments it<br />
was ordered to pay to the country.<br />
SOURCE OF JOBS?<br />
BAE is praised for creating jobs – but<br />
critics claim the British tax payer is<br />
subsidising those jobs. Much of the money<br />

spent on research and development which<br />
benefits the arms industry <strong>com</strong>es from the<br />
public purse, too. Some say the money<br />
would be better spent on other areas, such<br />
as green technology. BAE has also been<br />
accused of being too close to the UK<br />
government, with former civil servants and<br />
ex-ministers regularly <strong>com</strong>ing to work for<br />
them: the "revolving door syndrome".<br />

industry to defend ourselves. Critics say<br />
making arms is immoral.<br />

FOLKLORE<br />
I I I DREAM DREAM OF OF MUMMERS<br />
MUMMERS<br />
By Adela Peeva<br />
I Dream of Mummers is a story about a<br />
custom, called kukeri, in which masked<br />
people dance at the end of Winter and the<br />
beginning of Spring. The custom's origins<br />
are hidden far back in the past — a<br />
tradition that has be<strong>com</strong>e part of the<br />
history of an entire nation. It is found in<br />
many places in Bulgaria, but here, in the<br />
village of Sushitsa, it has almost<br />
<strong>com</strong>pletely preserved its authenticity and<br />
can still be seen as it was performed<br />
centuries ago.<br />
For people here, this is the biggest feast of<br />
the year, and today, on its eve, the entire<br />
village is preparing for the celebration.<br />
Bells are tinkling, costumes and masks<br />
are taken out of drawers and attics.<br />
Everything looks just as it did in an old<br />
newsreel found in the National Film<br />
Archives. In 1942 — more than 60 years<br />
ago — cameras filmed the same<br />
celebration in the same village. Here the<br />
tradition is handed down from generation<br />
to generation, from father to son, and<br />
when shown this archival footage, some<br />
people in the village recognized their<br />
fathers and grandfathers. One man<br />
recognized his father and another saw his<br />
grandfather as a young man with curly<br />
mustache.<br />
This is a film about a small village and its<br />
inhabitants, about an ancient tradition that<br />
they have preserved almost intact to this<br />
day, and about a friendship as undying as<br />
the tradition itself.<br />

NURSING<br />
Ostomy surgery is a life-changing event. It<br />
is the job and function of the healthcare<br />
professional caring for the post-ostomy<br />
patient to provide care for the stoma.<br />
However, the healthcare professional<br />
should also understand that he/she plays<br />
a pivotal role in helping the patient with<br />
overwhelming emotions that often go<br />
along with ostomy.<br />
This course reviews the digestive system<br />
in brief and a few of the most frequently<br />
performed ostomies, the main medical<br />
conditions that may lead to an ostomy,<br />
post-operative and daily care for different<br />
ostomies. It also focuses on helping the<br />
patient prepare for discharge and life<br />
post-ostomy.<br />
The purpose of this program is to provide<br />
nurses and others an understanding of the<br />
importance of providing patients with<br />
appropriate care of stoma following<br />
ostomy procedures and addressing both<br />
physical and emotional issues involved in<br />
living with a stoma in order to assist the<br />
patient's continuing care.<br />
After watching this program viewers<br />
should be able to:<br />
� Define the terms "stoma" and<br />
"ostomy".<br />
� Describe the steps involved in caring<br />
for the stoma.<br />
� Define <strong>com</strong>mon ostomy procedures.<br />
� Describe the factors of a patient's<br />

� Describe possible <strong>com</strong>plications and<br />

� Develop a list of problematic foods<br />
that can produce odor, gas and other<br />
intestinal ailments that can cause the<br />
post-ostomy patient pain and<br />
embarrassment.<br />
� Describe the types of sexual<br />
dysfunction both male and female<br />
ostomy patients may experience and<br />
suggest ways these patients may help<br />
themselves over<strong>com</strong>e some of these<br />
issues.<br />

GENETICS<br />
SUN SUN SUN KISSED<br />
KISSED<br />
Directed by Maya Stark and Adi Lavy<br />
One gene exposes a nation's dark past. A<br />
Navajo couple with two children born with<br />
an extremely rare genetic disorder<br />
investigate the cause of the outbreak.<br />
For fifteen years Dorey and Yolanda Nez<br />
thought they were the only family on the<br />
Navajo Reservation who had children with<br />
an extremely rare genetic disorder that<br />
only shows up at a rate of one in a million<br />
in the general population. Behind the<br />
closed curtains of their trailer, parked in<br />
the stark desert of <strong>New</strong> Mexico, they care<br />
for their 16-year-old daughter Leanndra.<br />
Just like her brother who passed away at<br />
age 11, Leanndra was born with<br />
Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP), a rare<br />
genetic disorder that makes any exposure<br />
to sunlight fatal.<br />
Filmed over three years, with<br />
unprecedented access to the Navajo<br />
<strong>com</strong>munity, Sun Kissed follows Dorey and<br />
Yolanda as they bravely confront long-held<br />
tribal taboos and question the rebellious<br />
choices of their youth. Ultimately their<br />
journey leads them to the shocking truth:<br />
Their children and other Navajo children<br />
are still paying the price for the American<br />
conquest of the tribe in the 1860s, a brutal<br />
campaign culminating in an<br />
almost-forgotten chapter in American<br />
history -- the Navajo "Long Walk" of 1864.<br />
Despite its importance as the defining<br />
moment in modern Navajo history and the<br />
beginning of their assimilation into<br />
American society, discussing the tragedy<br />
of the Long Walk remains a taboo topic<br />
within the Navajo <strong>com</strong>munity.<br />
What Dorey and Yolanda find challenges<br />
the core of their identity and everything<br />
they believe in, and exposes a fresh<br />
perspective on the <strong>com</strong>plex, cross-cultural<br />
identity of modern day Navajos. Focusing<br />
on the continuing implications of American<br />
colonialism and the genetic imprints it has<br />
left on this <strong>com</strong>munity, Sun Kissed<br />
presents a rare and realistic window into<br />
the issues confronting Native Americans<br />
today.<br />
Reviews<br />
� "A rare filmmaking<br />
ac<strong>com</strong>plishment...an amazing work<br />
that will touch your soul." - Bruce<br />
Johansen, Professor, Native<br />
American Studies, University of<br />
Nebraska<br />
� "Sun Kissed is a quiet, insistent look<br />
at some of the lasting effects of the<br />
Long Walk. It examines both the<br />
unknown and the unknowable along<br />
with the well known and the ignored.<br />
This is a film that should be examined<br />
along the wide arc of Native issues in<br />
contemporary America." - Theodore<br />

GEOGRAPHY<br />
10TH 10TH PARALLEL<br />
PARALLEL<br />
PARALLEL<br />
By Silvio Da-Rin<br />
10th PARALLEL takes us on a 300-mile<br />
journey up Brazil's Envira river into the<br />
heart of the Amazon Rainforest, to the<br />
frontier of a territory populated by the<br />
country's uncontacted indigenous tribes.<br />
Our guide is Jose Carlos Meirelles, a<br />
sertanista - one of the Amazon<br />
frontiersman employed by FUNAI, the<br />
National Indian Foundation of Brazil. With<br />
anthropologist Txai Terri de Aquino, he<br />
leads us to the Ethno-Environmental<br />
Protection Front of the Envira River, a<br />
FUNAI outpost he founded at the foot of<br />
the 10th Parallel South, the latitude that<br />
marks Brazil's border with Peru, cheek by<br />
jowl with the largest population of isolated<br />
indigenous people in the world.<br />
Until 1987, FUNAI attempted to make<br />
contact with previously isolated tribes and<br />
integrate them within the Brazilian state.<br />
The policy had disastrous results: the<br />
death of hundreds of thousands of<br />
indigenous people, and, in some cases,<br />
the virtual enslavement of others on behalf<br />
of government or industry.<br />
Since then, FUNAI has sought to maintain<br />
these tribes' isolation. Sertanistas like<br />
Meirelles, the very people who used to<br />
make first contact with the tribes on behalf<br />
of the government, are now charged with<br />
ensuring the new policy is observed.<br />
10th PARALLEL documents 21 days of<br />
this frequently dangerous, always delicate<br />
labor. With few resources beyond decades<br />
of experience in the indigenous cause, the<br />
specialists negotiate with the established<br />
riverside indigenous <strong>com</strong>munities, and<br />
face traffickers and squatters who try to<br />
invade the area. Meirelles describes<br />
sometimes harrowing encounters with<br />
members of the uncontacted tribes,<br />
including an ambush during which he was<br />
pierced through the face and neck with<br />
arrows.<br />
Even more than his bravery, we see<br />
Meirelles' dedication. In his meetings with<br />
the previously contacted and settled<br />
riverside tribes who live closest to the<br />
isolated <strong>com</strong>munities, we see some of the<br />
thorny practicalities entailed by FUNAI's<br />
approach. After a number of conflicts and<br />
thefts involving the "wild" Indians, with<br />
casualties on both sides, Meirelles must<br />
propose possible solutions for peaceful<br />
coexistence, offering concessions on<br />
behalf of the government to the contacted<br />
indigenous <strong>com</strong>munities that have<br />
suffered the greatest losses.<br />
10th PARALLEL brings us deep into the<br />
Amazon and into close proximity with the<br />
rainforest's uncontacted populations to<br />
reveal the fascinating and <strong>com</strong>plex issues<br />
at stake in FUNAI's policy on isolated<br />
tribes - a policy that has be<strong>com</strong>e a<br />
reference worldwide. We see that<br />
non-contact is not a policy of passivity or<br />
neglect, but rather entails all the subtle<br />
questions and balancing of constituencies<br />
as any other government program.<br />

The Lunch Lady is back to tell everyone<br />
about the new USDA "MyPlate" dietary<br />
guidelines. The food pyramid is gone,<br />
replaced with a simple plate icon. The new<br />
icon, MyPlate is easy to understand; one<br />
half of your plate should be filled with fruits<br />
and vegetables, with whole grains and<br />
lean protein on the other half. Low-fat<br />
dairy on the side, such as a cup of skim<br />
milk or yogurt, is also suggested.<br />
How many vegetables should you eat?<br />
Why is whole grain better for you? What is<br />
obesity? These and other important health<br />
questions are answered in this<br />
entertaining, fast paced program.<br />
"MyPlate" is a reminder to all Americans to<br />
adopt healthier eating habits. At a time<br />
when more than one-third of children and<br />
more than two-thirds of adults in the<br />
United States are overweight or obese, the<br />
Lunch Lady demonstrates to kids how to<br />

NAMES<br />
You're stupid! You're a baby! As we all<br />
know, name-calling is one of many<br />
inappropriate ways that children express<br />
themselves when they're feeling angry or<br />
frustrated. To the child on the receiving<br />
end of name-calling it can be a painful<br />
experience. This program focuses on the<br />
reasons for name-calling and how it<br />
affects others. Viewers also learn how to<br />
be more assertive so they can stop others<br />
from calling them names. Children who<br />
don't have an available repertoire of social<br />
and coping skills can easily turn to<br />
violence, anger or self-harm when they<br />
face an upsetting or vulnerable situation.<br />
Conversely, when we help kids learn and<br />
develop positive social and coping skills,<br />
we provide them with alternatives that can<br />
help turn problem situations into positive<br />
out<strong>com</strong>es. Get-Along-Monsters is an<br />
entertaining and engaging children's DVD<br />

NO<br />
It has been shown that children who are<br />
taught refusal skills are more likely to<br />
make positive choices and refrain from<br />
engaging in high-risk behaviors. It's<br />
important to help children set limits for<br />
themselves and say "no" to outside<br />
pressures. This increases their<br />
self-confidence. When children learn to<br />
stop and consider the consequences<br />
before responding to a request, as well as<br />
a variety of ways to say "no," they be<strong>com</strong>e<br />
more ac<strong>com</strong>plished at refusing to<br />

Sometimes it's difficult to know if the<br />

and even more difficult to ask or find out.<br />
Everyone needs to understand consent is<br />
and is not. That's what this program is<br />
about. In this program students will learn<br />
that consent is not passive. Consent is a<br />
behavior that clearly shows that the<br />
person agrees to the sexual activity at the<br />
time. Viewers will <strong>com</strong>e to understand that<br />
giving in is not the same as giving consent<br />
and you can't assume consent. The video<br />
points out that many people are<br />
manipulated into doing things they're not<br />
ready or willing to do. The program show's<br />
examples of how manipulators use insults<br />
and threats to get what they want and that<br />
manipulation is not consent. Teens will<br />
learn that saying yes one time does not<br />
imply ongoing, unlimited consent and that<br />
they have the right to change their mind<br />
and say no anytime for any reason.<br />
Students will <strong>com</strong>e to understand what<br />
consent IS and what it is NOT. They will<br />

can cause physical, emotional and legal<br />
consequences that can impact the rest of<br />

For a teen, deciding to be<strong>com</strong>e sexually<br />
active IS a big deal. It IS a life-changing<br />
decision. That's why it's so important to<br />
have open and honest discussions with<br />
your partner about sex, before you<br />
be<strong>com</strong>e sexually active. This program is<br />
designed to make students aware of the<br />
physical and emotional health risks of<br />
having sexual relations.<br />
The ongoing message in this program is;<br />
before you make the decision to have sex<br />
you MUST have a conversation about<br />
sexually transmitted diseases with your<br />
partner, and even more important, get<br />
tested. For many people, talking about<br />
STDs may be un<strong>com</strong>fortable and<br />
embarrassing. This program models<br />
several appropriate ways of talking about<br />
it.<br />
The most effective way to prevent<br />
pregnancy and STDs is choosing not to<br />
have sex. No other way is guaranteed.<br />
This program discusses the importance of<br />
using a condom to be protected from<br />
sexually transmitted diseases and an<br />
unplanned pregnancy.<br />
Video modeling scenes demonstrate how<br />
to begin a discussion about condoms and<br />
provide teens with the language they need<br />
to feel confident talking about this<br />
important issue. Viewers will learn how to<br />
over-<strong>com</strong>e a partner's objections with<br />
clear and firm answers. Through various,<br />
true-to-life scenarios students will <strong>com</strong>e to<br />
learn appropriate and inappropriate times<br />
to discuss STDs and contraceptives.<br />
The program emphasizes that parents<br />
may be the best resource for a teen before<br />
they decide to be<strong>com</strong>e sexually active.<br />
How do you begin the conversation?<br />
Several scenarios show students different<br />
ways to approach the subject of sex with<br />
their parents.<br />
The overall message to the viewers is that<br />
if you're afraid to have these important<br />
discussions about sex and you're unwilling<br />
to get tested, you may want to reconsider<br />
your decision to be<strong>com</strong>e sexually active.<br />
The program also emphasizes that<br />
abstinence is the only birth control method<br />
that is 100% effective in preventing<br />
pregnancy and protecting people against<br />
STDs.<br />

This fresh perspective on autism research<br />

autism. The fastest-growing<br />
developmental disorder in the<br />
industrialized world, autism has increased<br />
an astounding 600 per cent over the last<br />
20 years. Science cannot say why. Some<br />
say it's triggered by environmental factors<br />
and point to another intriguing statistic: 70<br />
per cent of kids with autism also have<br />
severe gastrointestinal symptoms. Could<br />
autism actually begin in the gut? The<br />
Autism Enigma looks at the progress of an<br />
international group of scientists who are<br />
studying the gut's amazingly diverse and<br />
powerful microbial ecosystem for clues to<br />
the baffling disorder.<br />

MURDER:<br />
SHAKEN SHAKEN BABY BABY SYNDROME<br />
SYNDROME<br />
It's a scenario as horrifying as it is<br />
heartbreaking: a frustrated parent ... a<br />
baby that just won't stop crying ... and<br />
suddenly, what were tender, cradling arms<br />
be<strong>com</strong>e instruments of death. At least this<br />
is how Shaken Baby Syndrome has been<br />
characterized in countless court cases in<br />
recent years. But what are the scientific<br />
foundations of this diagnosis?<br />
"Diagnosis Murder" tells the story of<br />
several Canadian parents who say they<br />
were wrongfully accused--and the<br />
leading-edge medical researchers who<br />
believe they're telling the truth. The stakes<br />
are high: Some have gone to jail. All have<br />
had their other children taken away from<br />
them.<br />
Is Shaken Baby Syndrome conclusive<br />
evidence of murder? Or is it a scientific<br />
hypothesis that has convicted an untold<br />
number of parents as killers -- when their<br />
children actually died from other causes?<br />

Obesity in Canada has doubled in less<br />
than 30 years. 59 per cent of all<br />
Canadians are now either overweight or<br />
obese. A small group of scientists have<br />
begun looking beyond the obvious<br />
because of a group that can't chew, let<br />
alone jog: infant obesity rose more than 70<br />
per cent in just 20 years. You can't blame<br />
them for unhealthy lifestyles. The<br />
scientists suspect that, starting in the<br />
womb, man-made chemicals may be<br />
triggering changes to our metabolism that<br />
result in lifelong weight gain.<br />

MONSTERS<br />
By Robert Lemelson<br />
The film focuses on a growing boy, Wayan<br />
Yoga, and is not so much about illness as<br />
it is an exploration of the protective<br />
aspects of culture that may guide<br />
developmental neuropsychiatric<br />
processes. At six years old, Wayan Yoga<br />
is an energetic boy who flies kites and is<br />
obsessed with the monsters of Balinese<br />
mythology. He also has various tics, which<br />
move his parents to seek treatment. At<br />
twenty, he is a young man planning his<br />
career as a chef and an expressive<br />
Balinese dancer. Ultimately, Wayan Yoga's<br />
tics are insignificant to his evolving sense<br />
of self-<strong>com</strong>pared to the saturation of<br />
symbols, images, and narratives of his<br />
culture. While Wayan must learn to<br />
negotiate the kinds of movements,<br />
interests, and goals that are culturally<br />
appropriate, the protective buffer of his<br />
family guides him successfully into<br />
normative Balinese adulthood.<br />

The film focuses on Bambang Rudjito, a<br />
university-educated Indonesian man in his<br />
late thirties diagnosed with schizoaffective<br />
disorder. It explores the "globalized"<br />
features of Bambang's illness and<br />
recovery narrative — western psychiatric<br />
diagnostics and pharmaceuticals, work<br />
opportunities in a rapidly changing urban<br />
environment, participation in an interfaith<br />
religious <strong>com</strong>munity, and his family's<br />
understanding and acceptance of what<br />
Bambang describes as a "mental<br />
disability." But it also considers aspects of<br />
Bambang's more <strong>com</strong>plex, historically and<br />
politically shaded narrative, giving<br />
language and a deeper substance to his<br />
illness experience. Memory of My Face<br />
illustrates how the residues of colonialism<br />
and the pervasive influence of<br />
globalization affect the subjective<br />
experience of mental illness.<br />

By Robert Lemelson<br />
The film focuses on Ni Ketut Kasih who<br />
has lived her whole life surrounded by the<br />
<strong>com</strong>plex rhythms of the Balinese ritual<br />
calendar. Here, participation in ritual<br />
events is both a spiritual mandate and<br />
social obligation for women who spend<br />
countless hours crafting offerings. Ni<br />
Ketut's masterful hand has contributed to<br />
her status as a highly respected<br />
ceremonial leader. However, the<br />
pressures of ritual requirements often<br />
overwhelm her, crowding her mind with<br />
memories of her difficult childhood during<br />
Indonesia's war for independence. This<br />
may trigger Ketut's bi-polar disorder<br />
episodes, for which she has been<br />
hospitalized over 35 times. Ni Ketut's case<br />
reveals the binding associations that may<br />
make certain burdens unbearable as<br />
cultural obligations, traumatic historical<br />
events, and personal experience overlap<br />
in unique schemas of stress that trigger<br />
cyclical episodes of mental illness.<br />

FANTOME FANTOME ISLAND<br />
ISLAND<br />
By Sean Gilligan and Adrian Strong<br />
In 1945 seven-year-old Joe Eggmolesse<br />
was diagnosed with Leprosy. He was<br />
taken from his family under police escort<br />
and transported by rail and sea over a<br />
thousand kilometres to Fantome Island<br />
where he was to be incarcerated for the<br />
next ten years.<br />
The isolated tropical island off the North<br />
Queensland coast became home to a<br />
close-knit <strong>com</strong>munity of indigenous<br />
"lepers" whose marginalized existence<br />
was hidden from white society and has<br />
until now remained absent from the<br />
mainstream historical record. Cared for by<br />
nuns from the Franciscan Missionaries of<br />
Mary their isolation was the consequence<br />
of apartheid-like policies developed by the<br />
Queensland government and medical<br />
establishment which espoused a<br />
eugenicist philosophy and regarded racial<br />
segregation as standard practice.<br />
As one of the few surviving former patients<br />
Joe returns to the island for a long awaited<br />
event, the Fantome Island Remembrance<br />
Day. As a 73 year old Elder he confronts<br />
the memory of his childhood on the island<br />
to pay tribute to those who lived and died<br />
there and to inscribe his own unique story<br />
into official Australian history. Drawing on<br />
an evocative archive, this film exposes<br />
how an ideology of racism and eugenics<br />
worked to justify horrific treatment of<br />
Australia's Indigenous <strong>com</strong>munities. In<br />
uncovering this shameful history, Fantome<br />
Island is a testimony of strength and<br />
endurance, demonstrating one man's<br />
incredible capacity for forgiveness and<br />
love.<br />

HOFMANN'S HOFMANN'S LSD LSD<br />
LSD<br />
Directed by Martin Witz<br />
In 1943, at the Sandoz<br />
chemical-pharmaceutical laboratories in<br />
Basel, Switzerland, chemist Albert<br />
Hofmann, in search of a respiratory and<br />
circulatory stimulant, first synthesized<br />
LSD.<br />
Martin Witz's THE SUBSTANCE: ALBERT<br />
HOFMANN'S LSD is an informative and<br />
entertaining investigation into the history<br />
of a drug so potent that mere fractions of a<br />
milligram can alter a subject's perception<br />
of reality.<br />
Viewers learn how Hofmann's discovery<br />
became the subject of 1950's Cold War<br />
experiments by the American military and<br />
the CIA, who saw LSD as a potential<br />
weapon. Meanwhile, international<br />
psychiatrists and consciousness<br />
researchers tried to unlock the drug's<br />
medicinal possibilities, wondering whether<br />
it might be an effective tool for<br />
contemporary psychiatry or neuroscience.<br />
In the early 1960s, Hofmann's "miracle<br />
drug" escaped from the lab. The<br />
psychedelic substance appealed to the<br />
counterculture, whose members saw LSD<br />
as fuel for social and political revolution.<br />
Could spiritual peace be achieved at the<br />
flick of a chemical switch?<br />
The notoriety and sense of possibility<br />
surrounding LSD persist to this day.<br />

KURT KURT WEILL WEILL AND AND AND THE THE<br />
THE<br />
JEWISH JEWISH RESPONSE RESPONSE TO<br />
TO<br />
HITLER'S HITLER'S GERMANY<br />
GERMANY<br />
Mendy Weisgal, a 75 year old Jewish<br />
sentimentalist, arrives to Berlin for the first<br />
time and passes the sites of the German<br />
capitol; the Holocaust memorial, the<br />
Reichstag; a restored synagogue. Near<br />
the Opera House, a worker puts up a<br />
poster for the revived opera 'The Eternal<br />
Road'<br />
As head of the Zionist Organization of<br />
America and an early pioneer in the call<br />
for a Jewish State in Palestine, his father<br />
was concerned about the Jews of<br />
Germany and their new government.<br />
Mendy's father Meyer could only imagine<br />
what it was like to be a Jew in Germany. In<br />
the streets of Berlin that night, Nazi<br />
stormtroopers marched goose-stepping,<br />
arms outstretched.<br />
Back in <strong>New</strong> York, Meyer was reading<br />
about the exodus of Germany's Jews and<br />
the headline, 'DIRECTOR MAX<br />
REINHARDT FLEES BERLIN' . On the<br />
walls in his office hung photos of recreated<br />
scenes from the bible. There was Moses<br />
raising the tablets of the Ten<br />
Commandments over the terrified<br />
Israelites; Isaac about to be sacrificed by<br />
Abraham. These were scenes from<br />
'Romance of the People,' a Jewish<br />
spectacle Meyer produced for the Chicago<br />
World's Fair. Now he wanted to stage the<br />
biggest Jewish show ever, on Broadway.<br />
Its purpose would be to tell the world about<br />
the fate of the Jews of Germany.<br />
Meyer sent a telegram to Reinhardt: 'If<br />
Hitler doesn't want you, I'll take you' and<br />
explained to the great showman about his<br />
plans to stage a large-scale drama 'as a<br />
Jewish response to Hitler's Germany.' He<br />
wanted Reinhardt to join him and help<br />
capture this historic moment in Jewish<br />
history for the stage. .<br />
Meyer was introduced to the exiled<br />
<strong>com</strong>poser Kurt Weill. Franz Werfel joined<br />
them. All four men soon understood one<br />
thing: Meyer was fighting for a message.<br />
He argued that they needed to create a<br />
Jewish play and nothing else. A story with<br />
a warning of what was unfolding here in<br />
Europe. He challenged Max, Franz and<br />
Kurt to summon their mastery, their<br />
creativity, their genius, and their artistry<br />
that came out of their roots in Berlin's<br />
golden era of theater.<br />
They agreed to create a theatrical<br />
spectacle that symbolized the threatened<br />
condition of their people in Germany. A<br />
biblical morality play that would express<br />
the spiritual origin, the mystical history and<br />
the eternal destiny of the Jewish people to<br />
whom they belonged. It was centered<br />
around the fate of a contemporary Jewish<br />
<strong>com</strong>munity about to be expelled from its<br />
homeland. Trapped inside their<br />
synagogue, the Rabbi consoled his<br />
congregation by reading passages from<br />
the Old Testament The congregation is<br />
ultimately exiled onto the eternal road of<br />
Jewish history that will lead them to their<br />
Jewish homeland.<br />
On January 7th, 1937, after ten<br />
postponements in over a year, the show<br />
was sold out. All of <strong>New</strong> York's nobility,<br />
Jews and Gentiles, were in attendance.<br />
When the stage lights came on, a small<br />
synagogue was brought to life. The Jewish<br />
congregation was huddled in fear. To<br />
console them, the cantor began to chant<br />
from the Holy Scriptures. 'And the Lord<br />
God said unto Abraham....' Slowly, the<br />
entire stage was illuminated. Five<br />
ascending tiers were revealed rising up,<br />
one higher than the next. At the top, nearly<br />
six stories high was the choir; one hundred<br />
singers dressed in the robes of angels. It<br />
was a spectacle of biblical proportions.<br />
Meyer Weisgal could see the audience<br />
catch its collective breath. The evening<br />
was a triumph.<br />
Brooks Atkinson of the <strong>New</strong> York Times<br />
wrote, 'Out of the heroic stories of old<br />
Jewish history is a glorious pageant of<br />
great power and glory. Opera, spectacle,<br />
fantasy or profound religious teaching,<br />
The Eternal Road is all these things in<br />
equal measure.'<br />

IRELAND<br />
Music, myth, and memory mix as one of<br />
the last great untold World War II stories<br />
unfolds against an Irish landscape. Three<br />
hundred thousand American servicemen<br />
and women served in Northern Ireland<br />
from 1942 to 1945.<br />
Soldiers trained for the invasion of North<br />
Africa and Normandy, sailors fought the<br />
Battle of the Atlantic and U.S. airmen flew<br />
coastal patrols from Northern Ireland ports<br />
and bases. History has forgotten much of<br />
this, but the people still remember. And<br />
now GIs themselves return to Northern<br />
Ireland to <strong>com</strong>plete the tale.<br />
Introduced by Walter Cronkite, who was<br />
himself a "Yank in Ireland," the program<br />
follows World War II veterans back to their<br />
"Home Away From Home." Secrets are<br />
revealed and old loves renewed in these<br />
moving stories. Rare photographs and<br />
archival film help tell the stories.<br />

At an early stage the Athenians adopted a<br />

to develop new ideas.<br />
Thus, about 2,500 years ago, in this city<br />
there emerged the idea of democracy,<br />
which has exerted a decisive influence on<br />
modern history.<br />
In this cultural environment, literary forms<br />
such as the satire, the drama and the<br />

Delphi was once regarded as the center of<br />
the world. It was one of the most important<br />
intellectual and cultural sites of antiquity.<br />
Anyone who could afford it sought the<br />
advice of the oracle of Delphi before<br />
making a decision in both personal and<br />
public affairs. Some of these oracle<br />
sayings have survived to the present day,<br />
over two thousand years later.<br />
The film describes the faith of the Ancient<br />
Greeks, whose ideas in fact often differ<br />
surprisingly from the conventional wisdom<br />
on this subject.<br />
Delphi's impenetrable myths, its<br />
mysterious fortune-telling practices and<br />
bloodthirsty animal sacrifices have left a<br />
trail which is still visible and palpable today,<br />
the trail of a legendary oracle which<br />
influenced European history for almost<br />

Florence is regarded as the focal point, the<br />

The city on the Arno was at this time one<br />
of Europe's foremost trading metropoles.<br />
Here the currents of culture and politics<br />
converged.<br />
In Florence, liberal and open-minded as it<br />
was, there emerged a broad class of<br />
industrious citizens who had made their<br />
fortunes in trade.<br />
Suddenly they were able to afford<br />
education - a privilege hitherto the<br />
preserve of a few aristocrats and priests.<br />
They studied and absorbed the thoughts<br />
of the writers of Antiquity, developed them<br />
further, thus creating the foundations for a<br />
<strong>com</strong>pletely new attitude to human<br />
existence.<br />
Our present-day understanding as modern<br />
Europeans is based on this new school of<br />
thought, in which Florence played a<br />
decisive role.<br />

Jerusalem is a holy city, not only for Jews<br />

time immemorial, each of the three great<br />
monotheistic religions has claimed the city<br />
as its own. Long-lasting, bloodthirsty<br />
conflicts were the result. Jerusalem, a<br />
bone of contention for over 2000 years.<br />
Now more than ever.<br />
Without its pre-eminent significance for<br />
these religions, Jerusalem would be<br />
merely one among a hundred other desert<br />
cities - interchangeable, unimportant.<br />
This film by Georg Graffe draws a portrait<br />
of a city for which Judaism, Christianity<br />
and Islam have been both a blessing and<br />
a curse.<br />

They were at the height of their power<br />
when they were smitten by a hitherto<br />
unknown disease: the insatiable greed for<br />
gold which the Europeans introduced to<br />
America. This has been responsible, right<br />
up to the present day, for the destruction of<br />
countless treasures created by the skilful<br />
Incan craftsmen, whose empire extended<br />
over three hundred thousand square<br />
miles.<br />
Despite this devastation, numerous<br />
buildings, statues and other finds still<br />
testify to the creative energy of the Incas<br />
and their ancestors.<br />

these cities, cloisters and churches of the<br />
"Golden Ring" that the heart of Russia<br />
used to beat - until the October Revolution.<br />
Now, after over 70 years, the bells can be<br />
heard chiming regularly once again, and<br />
the remaining cloisters and churches<br />
radiate their former splendor.<br />
This enlightening program visits the<br />
fascinating towns of Moscow's "Golden<br />
Ring." One unique town, Susdal, could be<br />
a city from a Russian fairy tale. In the<br />
Middle Ages it was one of the most<br />
important cities far and wide, larger than<br />
Paris or London - now it has been<br />
relegated to depths of a Russian<br />
backwater. Yet it is a typical Russian city<br />
with a Kremlin, churches, palaces and<br />
fortified cloisters, which defended the<br />
Orthodox faith at first against the Islamic<br />
Mongols, later against the Catholic<br />
Swedes. This informative and entertaining<br />
program was filmed entirely on location<br />
and shows the many changes that have<br />
taken place since the collapse of the<br />
Soviet Union.<br />

The city in the south of India claims to be<br />

This is one of the numerous contradictions<br />
which are a particular characteristic of the<br />

in what appears to be a hopelessly tangled<br />

A window to Europe was what Peter the<br />
Great wanted to create when, in 1703, he<br />
laid the foundation stone for the new<br />
capital city of his Russian empire. He sent<br />
50,000 serfs into the swampy delta of the<br />
Neva to pound the harbor city out of the<br />
ground.<br />
Under Katharina the Great, St Petersburg<br />
finally became the thriving metropolis<br />
which Peter the Great had dreamed of: a<br />
"Venice of the North", a city of the arts, the<br />
sciences and literature.<br />
Many artists, craftsmen, scientists and<br />
philosophers from Europe responded to<br />
the Tsarina's summons to <strong>com</strong>e east.<br />
They brought with them new ideas, which<br />
they then blended with the old eastern<br />
traditions.<br />
A cultural center emerged, quite<br />

CITY CITY OF OF THE THE GODS<br />
GODS<br />
As with many of the pre-Spanish<br />
civilizations of Central and South America<br />
there are more questions than answers<br />
surrounding the culture of Teotihuacan.<br />
From village <strong>com</strong>munities, at around 200<br />
BC, there developed an urban civilization<br />
in the highlands of Mexico. Over the<br />
centuries it produced huge, precisely<br />
constructed pyramids for cultic purposes.<br />
In the 8th century AD Teotihuacan suffered<br />
a catastrophic collapse. At its zenith this<br />
now legendary ruined city extended over<br />
20 square kilometers and was thus larger<br />
than Imperial Rome.<br />
Nobody knows what language its<br />
inhabitants spoke, or what people they<br />
belonged to. No writing has been found,<br />
nor has the name of any ruler.<br />
The film follows the traces of a forgotten<br />
society and contrasts them with the<br />
surviving Indian traditions of present-day<br />
Mexico.<br />

It was to be a bulwark of the faith, a<br />
symbol of the greatness and power of the<br />
Spanish world empire.<br />
In a manner virtually unparalleled by any<br />
other building, the Escorial reflects the<br />
spirit of its age, the 16th century, and of its<br />
patron, Philipp II. Philipp II, driven by a<br />
blind faith in the Catholic Church and the<br />
burning desire to emulate his father,<br />
Charles V, had the Escorial built in a bleak,<br />
deserted landscape. From this remote<br />
vantage point he wanted to rule the world.<br />
The architecture is a perfect reflection of<br />
this spirit, externally an austere building<br />
almost entirely without ornamentation.<br />
It is, moreover, no coincidence that the<br />
building is reminiscent of a cloister; part of<br />
which is still used today as a monastry.<br />
And it was from this fortified cloister that<br />
Philipp sought the solution to one of the<br />
most intractable problems of his time - the<br />
schism in the church. He resorted to the<br />
means of the Inquisition.<br />
The building, and its whole style, exudes<br />
the relentlessness with which Philipp<br />
exerted his power.<br />

Xi'an, the ancient Chinese Chang'an is an<br />
important site of the world's cultures.<br />
The city on the Yellow River with its<br />
surroundings is one of the birthplaces of<br />
Chinese culture and civilization.<br />
North-east of Xi'an, in 1974, the clay army<br />
of the first Chinese emperor, with its<br />
thousands of warriors, was discovered.<br />
Here, too, his huge burial mound, still<br />
unopened, is situated. And it was here that,<br />
by uniting the country for the first time,<br />
Emperor Qin Shihuangdi founded the<br />
series of Chinese imperial dynasties which<br />
extends up to the present day.<br />
Xi'an, Chang'an was the capital city of the<br />
Tang dynasty and the starting point of the<br />
Silk Road, which led to the Mediterranean.<br />
It was here that merchants and artists from<br />
all over the world met, here there emerged<br />
an exceptionally vibrant, festive culture, in<br />
which women enjoyed equal status and<br />
took part in all activities of social and<br />
cultural life.<br />
The film shows the excavation site of the<br />
clay army, in detail which was hitherto<br />
impossible; it takes us to the sites of Tang<br />
culture, shows the treasures in the<br />
museums and, in a performance of the<br />
Tang theatre, it also shows the magnificent,<br />
colorful dancing and music of this time. It<br />
takes us to the imperial tombs of the Han<br />
and Tang eras, allows us to witness<br />
Buddhist rituals in a famous temple and<br />
invites us to stroll through the city's Muslim<br />
district and to visit the Great Mosque of<br />

CONTROLLING<br />
Management is one of the most<br />
widely-discussed and critical issues in<br />
business. In this engaging program for<br />
senior secondary students we investigate<br />
what a manager actually does and how<br />
they achieve success. Experts explain the<br />
different tasks of management, such as<br />
planning, leading, organising and<br />
controlling, and the challenges they face in<br />
the various departments of large-scale<br />
organisations. We investigate the most<br />
effective strategies when faced with<br />
resource allocation or staffing issues or<br />
measuring performance. The diverse<br />
nature of management is examined in the<br />
wider context of globalisation and<br />
technological innovation, offering viewers<br />
a valuable insight into the day-to-day lives<br />
of managers.<br />

WORKPLACE<br />
In workplaces, as in any other part of<br />
society, people are diverse. They <strong>com</strong>e<br />
from different cultures; they have different<br />
belief systems, values and religions. There<br />
is diversity in interpersonal styles, mental<br />
ability, sexual orientation, physical<br />
characteristics and capabilities, and<br />
thinking and learning styles. This<br />
presenter-led production examines<br />
diversity in the workplace using various<br />
dramatized scenarios. The five chapters<br />
focus on the scope of diversity, responding<br />
sensitively, knowing the guidelines,<br />
<strong>com</strong>municating appropriately and building<br />
on diversity. This is an excellent resource<br />
for anyone examining the nature of<br />
diversity within the workplace and ways for<br />
all personnel within an organization to<br />
effectively work with it.<br />

relationships. The three chapters focus on<br />
developing effective workplace<br />
relationships, contributing to workplace<br />
activities and dealing effectively with<br />
issues, problems and conflict. This is an<br />

ETHICS<br />
Answer the question "Why be ethical?"<br />
and teach all employees, including<br />
managers and supervisors, an ethical<br />
decision-making process that protects<br />
your organization and makes it a better<br />
place to work.<br />
Ethics matter. It's not just the big scandals<br />
you see in the news, but the small<br />
everyday decisions that add up, too. In<br />
fact, that's where you need to draw the<br />
line—with the little things—before serious<br />
damage is done.<br />
This employee ethics training video<br />
follows four realistic scenarios that<br />
demonstrate the importance of basic<br />
values such as respect for others, fairness,<br />
and honesty. And it teaches a three-part<br />
decision-making process that helps<br />
employees find their way to a solution<br />
even in <strong>com</strong>plex situations where the right<br />
answer doesn't <strong>com</strong>e easily.<br />
Employees will learn to recognize<br />
behaviors that may do harm, determine<br />
whether they are personally responsible to<br />
take action, and <strong>com</strong>pare possible<br />
out<strong>com</strong>es to select the solution that best<br />
repairs the ethical breakdown while<br />
protecting the integrity of the organization.<br />
Employees all share the responsibility to<br />
act ethically and to speak up if they see<br />
coworkers behaving badly. Use this<br />
training DVD to raise awareness, provide<br />
a framework for ethical decision making,<br />
and help create a <strong>com</strong>pany that<br />
employees can be proud of.<br />

HUMAN RIGHTS<br />
900 900 DAYS<br />
DAYS<br />
Directed by Jessica Gorter<br />
Is it better to acknowledge an unpalatable<br />
truth or to embrace the <strong>com</strong>fort of myth?<br />
Jessica Gorter's 900 DAYS contrasts the<br />
devastating and unforgettable stories<br />
recounted by survivors of the Siege of<br />
Leningrad, the infamous German<br />
blockade, which caused the deaths of<br />
more than 1 million people during World<br />
War II, with the triumphant memorials<br />
fabricated by the Russian state.<br />
The blockade, one of the most incredible,<br />
defining events of World War II, remains<br />
largely unremembered outside of Russia.<br />
In September 1941, the 3 million<br />
inhabitants of the city now known as St.<br />
Petersburg were trapped without food or<br />
drinking water. For 900 days of subzero<br />
temperatures, people had to eat glue,<br />
leather soles, cats, and perhaps even their<br />
fellow human beings. When the city finally<br />
opened up again, nearly a million had<br />
died.<br />
Immediately after the war, investigations of<br />
the blockade were forbidden. The Soviet<br />
propaganda machine transformed the<br />
survivors into a symbol of national heroism,<br />
silencing any questions about Stalin's war<br />
policy and its toll on the lives of ordinary<br />
Russians.<br />
In 900 DAYS, Gorter employs newly<br />
declassified material from the Secret<br />
Service archives that reveals, in coldly<br />
impersonal statistics, the extent of<br />
cannibalism in the blockaded city and the<br />
population's fury with their own authorities.<br />
Footage of present-day Russian<br />
memorials to the survivors of the siege<br />
illustrate the persistence of the official,<br />
heroic account of the event even in light of<br />
this new information.<br />
Elsewhere in the film, survivors speak<br />
openly, many for the first time in their lives,<br />
about their experiences and the post-war<br />
censorship. Their painful memories<br />
overshadow the public myth in which<br />
some of them had previously participated.<br />
All their lives they have been told they<br />
were heroes who guided the country<br />
toward victory, but they are increasingly<br />
aware that true recognition of their<br />
traumatic experience and the ruinous<br />
policies that allowed it to continue is still,<br />
even after half a century, far away.<br />
Reviews
contradiction between the oficial<br />
version of a heroic populace<br />
persevering for the Motherland,<br />
and the private bitterness of a<br />
people disgusted by the way the<br />
Soviets and their heirs avoid<br />
questions of responsibility.<br />
Beautifully integrates past and<br />
present...900 DAYS shows that<br />
even grasping the horrors on an<br />
individual level is ultimately a task<br />
few are capable of<br />
<strong>com</strong>prehending." - Jay Weissberg,<br />
Variety<br />
���� "These stories are not for the faint<br />
of heart. But the documentary will<br />
help students to understand the<br />
difference between memory and<br />
history, and between the heroic<br />
stories states often tell about wars<br />
and the suppression of the real<br />
events that did not fit their<br />
narratives. As such, this is an ideal<br />
documentary to show in any<br />
history class dealing with World<br />
War II or Soviet history." -<br />

TINIEST TINIEST PLACE, PLACE, THE THE<br />
THE<br />
By Tatiana Huezo<br />
On the surface THE TINIEST PLACE is<br />
the story of Cinquera, a village literally<br />
wiped off the official map during El<br />
Salvador's 12-year civil war. But on a<br />
deeper level it is a story about the ability to<br />
rise, to rebuild and reinvent oneself after a<br />
tragedy.<br />
Holding the past and present in focus<br />
together, the film takes us to the tiny<br />
village nestled in the mountains amidst the<br />
humid Salvadoran jungle, while villagers,<br />
survivors of the war's massacres, recount<br />
their journey home at war's end. When<br />
they first returned their village no longer<br />
existed.<br />
Nevertheless they decided to stay. And<br />
over the years as they worked the land,<br />
built new homes and started new families,<br />
the people of Cinquera learned to live with<br />
sorrow.<br />
THE TINIEST PLACE juxtaposes scenes<br />
of contemporary village life, of Cinquera's<br />
remarkable renaissance, with stories of<br />
the war - how conflict arose, civil war<br />
erupted, and hopes for liberation turned to<br />
struggles for survival. "Don't cry when they<br />
kill me" a mother recalls her 14-year old<br />
daughter telling her before running away<br />
to fight with the rebel army.<br />
And though the village's history is always<br />
visible - in an elaborate memorial for the<br />
dead, or the persistent tremor of a<br />
survivor's hand, towards the end of THE<br />
TINIEST PLACE we too are returned to<br />
the present. A cow gives birth, a high<br />
school marching band plays, and children<br />
walk to school in the rain. We see that, if<br />
Cinquera is reemerging, it is through the<br />
strength and deep love of its inhabitants.<br />

In 1961, three young, visionary architects<br />

golf course in Havana, Cuba. Construction<br />
of their radical designs began immediately<br />

followed. Dancers, musicians and artists<br />
from all over the country reveled in the<br />

the Revolution quickly became a reality,<br />
construction was abruptly halted and the<br />
architects and their designs were deemed<br />

back to finish their unrealized dream.<br />

POWER<br />
With Deborah Gruenfeld<br />
� How you speak has far greater impact<br />
than what you actually say.<br />
� The body language of power, and<br />
how to use it.<br />
� Why it's risky to act more important<br />
than you are.<br />
Working well with others is critical to<br />
professional success, yet many people<br />
struggle with "authority issues" that can<br />
block their progress. Professor Gruenfeld<br />
<strong>com</strong>bines research on the psychology of<br />
power with the acting skills of the theater<br />
to illustrate how our nonverbal behavior<br />
affects how we are perceived in a<br />
hierarchy—far more than the words or<br />
arguments we use. In fact, she notes, our<br />
words account for only 7% of our<br />
argument's impact.<br />
The good news is that we can control how<br />
we are perceived by using our body<br />
language to influence others. From how<br />
we hold ourselves to how we speak, Dr.<br />
Gruenfeld explores the ways to "play high"<br />
when we want to be authoritative, and<br />
"play low" when it's more advantageous to<br />
be approachable. In the end, she notes,<br />
we're judged not on the quality of our<br />
argument, but on how we act and how we<br />
make others feel.<br />

STRATEGY<br />
With Richard Rumelt<br />
� Steve Jobs' plan for Apple in 1997:<br />
hatchet job or strategy?<br />
� Why financial performance goals are<br />
not strategy.<br />
� Creating proximate goals and "riding<br />
the wave" of change.<br />
Bad strategy is long on goals and vision<br />
and short on presenting a coherent set of<br />
actions for actually solving the<br />
fundamental problems facing an<br />
organization. Good strategy, on the other<br />
hand, flows from an honest diagnosis of<br />
your most critical challenge coupled with<br />
an action plan for specific objectives that<br />
your organization can reasonably<br />
ac<strong>com</strong>plish to over<strong>com</strong>e that challenge.<br />
Drawing on the successes of General<br />
Motors in the 1920s, NASA's Apollo<br />
program, Cisco, IKEA, and Nvidia,<br />
Professor Rumelt defines five elements of<br />
good strategies. First, use analytic tools to<br />
develop insight into the nature of your<br />
challenge. Then, define achievable<br />
proximate objectives toward your goal,<br />
recognize and ride the wave of change in<br />
your industry, build a "chain link" barrier to<br />
<strong>com</strong>petition, and finally, expect and<br />
over<strong>com</strong>e entropy and inertia from within.<br />

BATTLE BATTLE FOR FOR THE THE ARAB<br />
ARAB<br />
VIEWER, VIEWER, THE<br />
THE<br />
By Nordin Lasfar<br />
In early 2011, people around the world<br />
tuned into Al Jazeera to watch the<br />
Egyptian revolution in real time.<br />
Meanwhile, rival broadcaster Al Arabiya<br />
was also offering near continuous<br />
coverage, with cameras on a balcony<br />
overlooking the 6th October Bridge, where<br />
protesters and police clashed.<br />
How was the content of those broadcasts -<br />
and the networks' subsequent coverage -<br />
influenced by their political allegiances?<br />
Featuring interviews with current and<br />
former journalists from both networks, and<br />
analysis from independent pundits, The<br />
Battle for the Arab Viewer highlights the<br />
philosophical differences between the two<br />
pan-Arab networks.<br />
Al Jazeera was created by the Emir of<br />
Qatar after he deposed his father in a coup.<br />
The station typically champions the poor<br />
and social movements - such as the<br />
Muslim Brotherhood - that are hostile to<br />
the Saudi regime. The station has grown<br />
highly influential. In the film, a passerby<br />
stops Al Jazeera's chief Cairo<br />
correspondent on the street to thank him<br />
and the government of Qatar for<br />
supporting the anti-Mubarak forces,<br />
saying the network is "90%" responsible<br />
for the revolution.<br />
With Al Jazeera supporting elements<br />
hostile to Saudi Arabia, the Saudis set up<br />
their own network as a counterpoint: the<br />
more conservative Al Arabiya, owned by a<br />
close friend of the royal family.<br />
While The Battle for the Arab Viewer offers<br />
insight and analysis, it also shows how the<br />
battle between the two networks plays out<br />
on the ground in Cairo. We go behind the<br />
scenes with Al Arabiya journalist Randa<br />
Abul Azm and Al Jazeera's Abdelfattah<br />
Fayed as they follow stories, break news,<br />
and cover events such as Hosni<br />
Mubarak's trial. (Azm is allowed into the<br />
courtroom, but Fayed is not.)<br />
Azm and Fayed each mirror their<br />
networks' respective demographics. Al<br />
Arabiya appeals to well-off, middle-class<br />
viewers who value security and stability.<br />
Enter Amz, who lives in a building built by<br />
her engineer father, on a street named for<br />
her grandfather. Fayed, representing the<br />
network that purports to stand for the<br />
downtrodden, shows us a photo of his<br />
father, who worked in agriculture.<br />
Both deny that their work is influenced by<br />
the political agendas of their networks'<br />
owners. But former employees of both<br />
networks tell a different story. Particularly<br />
striking is the case of Hafez al Mirazi, who<br />
was taken off Al Arabiya's airwaves after<br />
promising to put Saudi Arabia under the<br />
microscope on his show.<br />
Media bias is nothing new - as Mirazi says,<br />
viewers of Fox <strong>New</strong>s and MSNBC each<br />
know what they are going to get. What is<br />
different in the Arab world is that the<br />
networks are directly owned by states. He<br />
says, "They keep shifting according to the<br />
countries they are sponsored by, and that<br />
affects the stories their citizens get on a<br />
daily basis."<br />
Ultimately, the problem may resolve itself.<br />
As democracy spreads through the region,<br />
will truly independent media follow?<br />

OUR OUR OUR NEWSPAPER<br />
NEWSPAPER<br />
Directed by Eline Flipse<br />
After journalist Andrey Schkolni leaves his<br />
job at The Leninist, the state-supported –<br />
and state-censored – regional paper in<br />
Uljanovsk, Russia, he and his wife, Marina,<br />
decide to start their own newspaper. The<br />
couple takes on local apathy, isolationism,<br />
criticism, and ridicule; they are determined<br />
to serve the local population, located over<br />
550 miles from Moscow in a largely rural,<br />
often snowbound area. Week after week,<br />
everything from writing and researching<br />
the articles to designing the layout takes<br />
place in their small home. They even work<br />
to distribute the paper – which they name<br />
Our <strong>New</strong>spaper – with their tiny family car.<br />
Slowly Andrey's doggedly reported local<br />
news and Marina's horoscopes and home<br />
remedies begin to catch on. When Our<br />
<strong>New</strong>spaper's circulation and size climbs to<br />
7,000 weekly readers and eight pages, it<br />
begins to pose real <strong>com</strong>petition to the<br />
four-page Leninist. Finally, the isolated<br />
population can read their own news:<br />
instead of "articles" about far-off cities,<br />
golden harvests, and unrealizable state<br />
projects, Our <strong>New</strong>spaper reports on an<br />
impoverished village without running water<br />
for three months and profiles a<br />
courageous local doctor who makes<br />
house calls her bicycle despite freezing<br />
temperatures.<br />
Andrey and Marina's light-hearted local<br />
news gathering quickly gathers gravity,<br />
however … until it eventually puts its<br />
creators in danger. The issues facing the<br />
once prosperous but now economically<br />
depressed region are very serious.<br />
Despite his best efforts to protect himself<br />
and his wife, Andrey's reporting begins to<br />
implicate corrupt local corporations and<br />
political officials and raise thorny<br />
questions of journalistic and business<br />
ethics.<br />
Juxtaposing small, personal stories<br />
against the background of contemporary<br />
Russian history, OUR NEWSPAPER<br />
creates a portrait of personal integrity and<br />
bravery under increasingly desperate<br />
circumstances. The award-winning Dutch<br />
director Eline Flipse (Broken Silence,<br />
Albanian Stories) paints subtle portraits of<br />
her film's powerful personalities with<br />
warmth, humor and <strong>com</strong>plexity that will<br />
stay with you long after the film ends; it is<br />
an unforgettable illustration of modern<br />
Russia and the vital role of journalism in<br />
an emerging democracy.<br />
Reviews<br />
� "Highly Re<strong>com</strong>mended…In addition<br />
to discussing the challenges of "Our<br />
<strong>New</strong>spaper," the documentary<br />
conveys the isolation and remoteness<br />
of the place—frozen both<br />
metaphorically in Soviet time and<br />
literally in Russia's far north. It is a<br />
window into Russian provincial life in<br />
the 21st century—such a contrast to<br />
the wealthy cosmopolitan centers of<br />
Moscow and St. Petersburg." -<br />

CHANGE<br />
Directed by Melissa Young and Mark<br />
Dworkin<br />
Investigates employee-owned businesses<br />
that provide secure, dignified jobs in<br />
democratic workplaces even in today's<br />
economic crisis.<br />
Shift Change: Putting Democracy to Work<br />
tells the little known stories of<br />
employee-owned businesses that<br />
<strong>com</strong>pete successfully in today's economy<br />
while providing secure, dignified jobs in<br />
democratic workplaces.<br />
With the long decline in US manufacturing<br />
and today's economic crisis, millions have<br />
been thrown out of work, and many are<br />
losing their homes. The usual economic<br />
solutions are not working, so some<br />
citizens and public officials are ready to<br />
think outside of the box, to reinvent our<br />
failing economy in order to restore long<br />
term <strong>com</strong>munity stability and a more<br />
egalitarian way of life.<br />
There is growing interest in firms that are<br />
owned and managed by their workers.<br />
Such firms tend to be more profitable and<br />
innovative, and more <strong>com</strong>mitted to the<br />
<strong>com</strong>munities where they are based. Yet<br />
the public has little knowledge of their<br />
success, and the promise they offer for a<br />
better life.<br />
Amongst the organizations featured in<br />
SHIFT CHANGE are:<br />
Mondragon Cooperative Corporation -<br />
Begun in the 1950s, the Mondragon<br />
co-ops have transformed a depressed<br />
area of Spain into one of the most<br />
productive in Europe with a high standard<br />
of living and an egalitarian way of life.<br />
They are owned and managed by their<br />
workers. Seeing the achievements of the<br />
MCC helps to over<strong>com</strong>e the<br />
idea-widespread in North America-that<br />
worker run cooperatives can only exist on<br />
the economic fringe.<br />
The Evergreen Cooperatives in Cleveland,<br />
OH - This is an ambitious urban<br />
redevelopment model, directly inspired by<br />
Mondragon, where local institutions and<br />
public officials are supporting green<br />
cooperatives of previously marginalized,<br />
predominantly African American workers,<br />
who provide <strong>com</strong>mercial laundry services,<br />
install solar energy systems, and grow<br />
vegetables in vast urban greenhouses.<br />
Arizmendi Association of Cooperatives,<br />
San Francisco, California - Started 30<br />
years ago, there are now six of these<br />
independent worker owned and managed<br />
cooperative bakeries that work together to<br />
provide the financial and legal services<br />
they need, and to incubate new coop<br />
bakeries.<br />
Equal Exchange, Boston MA: Founded in<br />
1986, Equal Exchange is one of the<br />
largest roasters of fair trade coffee in the<br />
world.<br />
Reviews<br />
� "A <strong>com</strong>pelling story of real<br />
possibilities at a time when many<br />

current difficult economic situation." -<br />

supports this project." - Melissa<br />
Hoover, Executive Director, U.S.<br />
Federation of Worker Cooperatives<br />
� "One of the barriers to fostering<br />
cooperative values and businesses in<br />
North America is the lack of<br />
awareness of the benefits that well<br />
organized cooperatives with good<br />
business practices can offer to<br />
workers and <strong>com</strong>munities. Educating<br />
the public to the cooperative<br />
approach to business is an important<br />
contribution which Shift Change can<br />
make." - Ted Howard, Executive<br />

10TH 10TH PARALLEL<br />
PARALLEL<br />
PARALLEL<br />
By Silvio Da-Rin<br />
10th PARALLEL takes us on a 300-mile<br />
journey up Brazil's Envira river into the<br />
heart of the Amazon Rainforest, to the<br />
frontier of a territory populated by the<br />
country's uncontacted indigenous tribes.<br />
Our guide is Jose Carlos Meirelles, a<br />
sertanista - one of the Amazon<br />
frontiersman employed by FUNAI, the<br />
National Indian Foundation of Brazil. With<br />
anthropologist Txai Terri de Aquino, he<br />
leads us to the Ethno-Environmental<br />
Protection Front of the Envira River, a<br />
FUNAI outpost he founded at the foot of<br />
the 10th Parallel South, the latitude that<br />
marks Brazil's border with Peru, cheek by<br />
jowl with the largest population of isolated<br />
indigenous people in the world.<br />
Until 1987, FUNAI attempted to make<br />
contact with previously isolated tribes and<br />
integrate them within the Brazilian state.<br />
The policy had disastrous results: the<br />
death of hundreds of thousands of<br />
indigenous people, and, in some cases,<br />
the virtual enslavement of others on behalf<br />
of government or industry.<br />
Since then, FUNAI has sought to maintain<br />
these tribes' isolation. Sertanistas like<br />
Meirelles, the very people who used to<br />
make first contact with the tribes on behalf<br />
of the government, are now charged with<br />
ensuring the new policy is observed.<br />
10th PARALLEL documents 21 days of<br />
this frequently dangerous, always delicate<br />
labor. With few resources beyond decades<br />
of experience in the indigenous cause, the<br />
specialists negotiate with the established<br />
riverside indigenous <strong>com</strong>munities, and<br />
face traffickers and squatters who try to<br />
invade the area. Meirelles describes<br />
sometimes harrowing encounters with<br />
members of the uncontacted tribes,<br />
including an ambush during which he was<br />
pierced through the face and neck with<br />
arrows.<br />
Even more than his bravery, we see<br />
Meirelles' dedication. In his meetings with<br />
the previously contacted and settled<br />
riverside tribes who live closest to the<br />
isolated <strong>com</strong>munities, we see some of the<br />
thorny practicalities entailed by FUNAI's<br />
approach. After a number of conflicts and<br />
thefts involving the "wild" Indians, with<br />
casualties on both sides, Meirelles must<br />
propose possible solutions for peaceful<br />
coexistence, offering concessions on<br />
behalf of the government to the contacted<br />
indigenous <strong>com</strong>munities that have<br />
suffered the greatest losses.<br />
10th PARALLEL brings us deep into the<br />
Amazon and into close proximity with the<br />
rainforest's uncontacted populations to<br />
reveal the fascinating and <strong>com</strong>plex issues<br />
at stake in FUNAI's policy on isolated<br />
tribes - a policy that has be<strong>com</strong>e a<br />
reference worldwide. We see that<br />
non-contact is not a policy of passivity or<br />
neglect, but rather entails all the subtle<br />
questions and balancing of constituencies<br />
as any other government program.<br />

SILVESTRE SILVESTRE SILVESTRE PANTALEON<br />
PANTALEON<br />
By Roberto Olivares Ruiz and Jonathan<br />
Amith<br />
SILVESTRE PANTALEON is the story of<br />
an elderly man from the Nahuatl-speaking<br />
village of San Agustin Oapan, Mexico. It<br />
begins as a local curandero reads the<br />
protagonist's fortune in the cards and<br />
diagnoses the costly remedy to his ills: a<br />
<strong>com</strong>plex series of offerings to the hearth,<br />
the ants, the river, and the deceased.<br />
Silvestre Pantaleon then struggles to pull<br />
together the money needed to pay for the<br />
curing ceremony and provide for his family,<br />
dedicating himself to the only<br />
remunerative activities he knows:<br />
handcrafting rope (made from the maguey<br />
plant) for religious ceremonies, and<br />
making seldom-used household objects<br />
that he alone still has the skills to produce.<br />
SILVESTRE PANTALEON -the result of a<br />
collaboration between an anthropologist<br />
who lives Oapan and a filmmaker<br />
dedicated to working in indigenous<br />
<strong>com</strong>munities-unfolds with no interviews or<br />
narration. Rather, scenes from daily life<br />
are woven together in rich ethnographic<br />
detail and lingering imagery that explore a<br />
rural <strong>com</strong>munity situated in the shadow of<br />
a highway bridge to the international resort<br />
of Acapulco. Over this bridge pass<br />
thousands of tourists, oblivious to the<br />
village life just below yet worlds apart.<br />

TINIEST TINIEST TINIEST PLACE, PLACE, THE<br />
THE<br />
By Tatiana Huezo<br />
On the surface THE TINIEST PLACE is<br />
the story of Cinquera, a village literally<br />
wiped off the official map during El<br />
Salvador's 12-year civil war. But on a<br />
deeper level it is a story about the ability to<br />
rise, to rebuild and reinvent oneself after a<br />
tragedy.<br />
Holding the past and present in focus<br />
together, the film takes us to the tiny<br />

village nestled in the mountains amidst the<br />
humid Salvadoran jungle, while villagers,<br />
survivors of the war's massacres, recount<br />
their journey home at war's end. When<br />
they first returned their village no longer<br />
existed.<br />
Nevertheless they decided to stay. And<br />
over the years as they worked the land,<br />
built new homes and started new families,<br />
the people of Cinquera learned to live with<br />
sorrow.<br />
THE TINIEST PLACE juxtaposes scenes<br />
of contemporary village life, of Cinquera's<br />
remarkable renaissance, with stories of<br />
the war - how conflict arose, civil war<br />
erupted, and hopes for liberation turned to<br />
struggles for survival. "Don't cry when they<br />
kill me" a mother recalls her 14-year old<br />
daughter telling her before running away<br />
to fight with the rebel army.<br />
And though the village's history is always<br />
visible - in an elaborate memorial for the<br />
dead, or the persistent tremor of a<br />
survivor's hand, towards the end of THE<br />
TINIEST PLACE we too are returned to<br />
the present. A cow gives birth, a high<br />
school marching band plays, and children<br />
walk to school in the rain. We see that, if<br />
Cinquera is reemerging, it is through the<br />
strength and deep love of its inhabitants.<br />

FINDING FINDING THE THE FREEMEN<br />
FREEMEN<br />
FREEMEN<br />
There is growing police concern about a<br />
sub-set of Canadian society that prefers to<br />
live outside the law.<br />
A declining economy can be fertile ground<br />
for fringe movements. Perhaps as many<br />
as 30,000 people worldwide are part of the<br />
expanding group called<br />
Freeman-on-the-Land. Primarily, they<br />
believe that governments do not have<br />
jurisdiction over them. They sometimes<br />
refuse to pay taxes, carry driver's licenses,<br />
repay debts or otherwise accept<br />
restrictions on their legal "person."<br />
Here at home, the movement has caught<br />
the attention of Canadian police because<br />
of the violent activity of associated groups<br />
in other countries, like the Sovereign<br />
Citizens in the U.S. whose notorious<br />
membership included Timothy McVeigh.<br />
Some call the Freemen a harmless fringe<br />
movement. However, as The National's<br />
Adrienne Arsenault reports, the group may<br />
be larger and more worrying than it<br />
appears.<br />

CONFUCIUS<br />
This overview of Confucius' biography and<br />
philosophy from the Famous Authors<br />
series contextualizes Confucius' life during<br />
the Zhou Dynasty, relaying the Chinese<br />
values of family and ancestor-worship,<br />
history and record-keeping, and<br />
spirituality.<br />
This time saw many intellectual<br />
developments and the concepts of<br />
morality and peace were emerging, and<br />
the program demonstrates the major<br />
influence Confucius and his Analects, a<br />
collection of epigrams, has had on<br />
Chinese culture.<br />
He focused on four major issues: helping<br />
people to be good, honorable, and<br />
responsible members of society; learning<br />
and education; filial duty; and ritual and<br />
music.<br />
The program illuminates many of his<br />
epigrams on these topics and<br />
distinguishes between Confucianism,<br />
which focuses on personal behavior, and<br />
other religions which depend on exclusive<br />
priesthoods and <strong>com</strong>mon beliefs.<br />

But beside these scenes of glorious<br />
misrule gathers a nationwide rebellion led<br />
by the Duke of Northumberland and his<br />
charismatic son, Hotspur.<br />
The first installment of Shakespeare's<br />

promotion and the life of ease he feels<br />

Henry IV Part 2 includes some of the<br />

In workplaces, as in any other part of<br />
society, people are diverse. They <strong>com</strong>e<br />
from different cultures; they have different<br />
belief systems, values and religions. There<br />
is diversity in interpersonal styles, mental<br />
ability, sexual orientation, physical<br />
characteristics and capabilities, and<br />
thinking and learning styles. This<br />
presenter-led production examines<br />
diversity in the workplace using various<br />
dramatized scenarios. The five chapters<br />
focus on the scope of diversity, responding<br />
sensitively, knowing the guidelines,<br />
<strong>com</strong>municating appropriately and building<br />
on diversity. This is an excellent resource<br />
for anyone examining the nature of<br />
diversity within the workplace and ways for<br />
all personnel within an organization to<br />
effectively work with it.<br />

Managing Ethics brings managers and<br />

our introductory video, Workplace Ethics,<br />
and supplements their ethics training with<br />
ethical leadership skills necessary for<br />
maintaining an ethical workplace.<br />
The benefits of working in an ethical<br />
<strong>com</strong>pany are well known. This managing<br />
ethics training video will help your<br />
managers and supervisors develop an<br />
ethical leadership perspective in order to<br />
sustain a culture of integrity among all<br />

Managing Ethics replays the scenarios<br />
portrayed in its <strong>com</strong>panion training video,<br />
Workplace Ethics, but this time from the<br />
leader's point of view, illustrating essential<br />
management skills.<br />
Your managers and supervisors will learn<br />
how to share core values in ways that<br />
employees can personally understand, live<br />
the values themselves every day, and take<br />
appropriate action—by acknowledging<br />
positive behavior or promptly correcting<br />
ethical lapses.<br />
Ethics shouldn't be taken for granted.<br />
Without constant attention, ethical<br />
standards can be weakened by small<br />
decisions that add up. This ethics training<br />

MEDIA STUDIES<br />
BATTLE BATTLE FOR FOR THE THE ARAB<br />
ARAB<br />
VI VIEWER, VI EWER, THE<br />
THE<br />
By Nordin Lasfar<br />
In early 2011, people around the world<br />
tuned into Al Jazeera to watch the<br />
Egyptian revolution in real time.<br />
Meanwhile, rival broadcaster Al Arabiya<br />
was also offering near continuous<br />
coverage, with cameras on a balcony<br />
overlooking the 6th October Bridge, where<br />
protesters and police clashed.<br />
How was the content of those broadcasts -<br />
and the networks' subsequent coverage -<br />
influenced by their political allegiances?<br />
Featuring interviews with current and<br />
former journalists from both networks, and<br />
analysis from independent pundits, The<br />
Battle for the Arab Viewer highlights the<br />
philosophical differences between the two<br />
pan-Arab networks.<br />
Al Jazeera was created by the Emir of<br />
Qatar after he deposed his father in a coup.<br />
The station typically champions the poor<br />
and social movements - such as the<br />
Muslim Brotherhood - that are hostile to<br />
the Saudi regime. The station has grown<br />
highly influential. In the film, a passerby<br />
stops Al Jazeera's chief Cairo<br />
correspondent on the street to thank him<br />
and the government of Qatar for<br />
supporting the anti-Mubarak forces,<br />
saying the network is "90%" responsible<br />
for the revolution.<br />
With Al Jazeera supporting elements<br />
hostile to Saudi Arabia, the Saudis set up<br />
their own network as a counterpoint: the<br />
more conservative Al Arabiya, owned by a<br />
close friend of the royal family.<br />
While The Battle for the Arab Viewer offers<br />
insight and analysis, it also shows how the<br />
battle between the two networks plays out<br />
on the ground in Cairo. We go behind the<br />
scenes with Al Arabiya journalist Randa<br />
Abul Azm and Al Jazeera's Abdelfattah<br />
Fayed as they follow stories, break news,<br />
and cover events such as Hosni<br />
Mubarak's trial. (Azm is allowed into the<br />
courtroom, but Fayed is not.)<br />
Azm and Fayed each mirror their<br />
networks' respective demographics. Al<br />
Arabiya appeals to well-off, middle-class<br />
viewers who value security and stability.<br />
Enter Amz, who lives in a building built by<br />
her engineer father, on a street named for<br />
her grandfather. Fayed, representing the<br />
network that purports to stand for the<br />
downtrodden, shows us a photo of his<br />
father, who worked in agriculture.<br />
Both deny that their work is influenced by<br />
the political agendas of their networks'<br />
owners. But former employees of both<br />
networks tell a different story. Particularly<br />
striking is the case of Hafez al Mirazi, who<br />
was taken off Al Arabiya's airwaves after<br />
promising to put Saudi Arabia under the<br />
microscope on his show.<br />
Media bias is nothing new - as Mirazi says,<br />
viewers of Fox <strong>New</strong>s and MSNBC each<br />
know what they are going to get. What is<br />
different in the Arab world is that the<br />
networks are directly owned by states. He<br />
says, "They keep shifting according to the<br />
countries they are sponsored by, and that<br />
affects the stories their citizens get on a<br />
daily basis."<br />
Ultimately, the problem may resolve itself.<br />
As democracy spreads through the region,<br />
will truly independent media follow?<br />

SUBSTANCE, SUBSTANCE, SUBSTANCE, THE: THE: THE: ALBE ALBERT ALBE RT<br />
HOFMANN'S HOFMANN'S HOFMANN'S LSD<br />
LSD<br />
Directed by Martin Witz<br />
In 1943, at the Sandoz<br />
chemical-pharmaceutical laboratories in<br />
Basel, Switzerland, chemist Albert<br />
Hofmann, in search of a respiratory and<br />
circulatory stimulant, first synthesized<br />
LSD.<br />
Martin Witz's THE SUBSTANCE: ALBERT<br />
HOFMANN'S LSD is an informative and<br />
entertaining investigation into the history<br />
of a drug so potent that mere fractions of a<br />
milligram can alter a subject's perception<br />
of reality.<br />
Viewers learn how Hofmann's discovery<br />
became the subject of 1950's Cold War<br />
experiments by the American military and<br />
the CIA, who saw LSD as a potential<br />
weapon. Meanwhile, international<br />
psychiatrists and consciousness<br />
researchers tried to unlock the drug's<br />
medicinal possibilities, wondering whether<br />
it might be an effective tool for<br />
contemporary psychiatry or neuroscience.<br />
In the early 1960s, Hofmann's "miracle<br />
drug" escaped from the lab. The<br />
psychedelic substance appealed to the<br />
counterculture, whose members saw LSD<br />
as fuel for social and political revolution.<br />
Could spiritual peace be achieved at the<br />
flick of a chemical switch?<br />
The notoriety and sense of possibility<br />
surrounding LSD persist to this day.<br />
Decades after it first began to appear on<br />
international anti-drug blacklists, doctors<br />
and researchers have resumed exploring<br />
potential medical and therapeutic<br />
applications for the drug.<br />
Chock-full of rare archival footage of<br />
LSD-defining celebrities from Timothy<br />
Leary to Jimi Hendrix, as well as<br />
interviews with principal historical<br />
witnesses-including scientists,<br />
psychiatrists, and Hofmann himself,<br />
interviewed just before his death - THE<br />
SUBSTANCE: ALBERT HOFMANN'S LSD<br />
follows the story of LSD on a fascinating<br />
historical, scientific and cinematic trip.<br />
Review<br />
���� "Martin Witz's fascinating film traces<br />
the history of the drug, from its early<br />
tests, possible military applications<br />
and to its eventual fame as<br />
drug-of-choice for the hippie<br />
generation, and it is a wonderfully<br />
mounted montage of archive footage<br />
and interviews that makes for<br />
<strong>com</strong>pulsive viewing." - Mark Adams,<br />

MENTAL HEALTH<br />
AGE AGE OF OF ANXIETY<br />
ANXIETY<br />
Anxiety. It's being called the disease of the<br />
21st century. Everybody is either<br />
afflicted – or knows someone who is.<br />
According to the World Health<br />
Organization, disorders related to dread<br />
are the most prevalent mental illness on<br />
the globe at the moment.<br />
Some of us shriek at spiders, others have<br />
panic attacks that flare up out of nowhere<br />
and mimic the symptoms of heart failure,<br />
still others worry excessively about<br />
everything and nothing – violent crime,<br />
cancer, black bears, tornadoes.<br />
Is anxiety a disease of modernity? Or is<br />
our highly <strong>com</strong>petitive and material culture<br />
itself undermining our nerves? The Age of<br />
Anxiety examines what anxiety is, and<br />
how and why it is being re-defined by the<br />
medical and pharmaceutical industries.<br />
In 2013, a new edition of the Diagnostic<br />
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders<br />
(DSM), the psychiatrist's treatment "bible,"<br />
will be released with revised definitions of<br />
anxiety crafted by researchers – often with<br />
ties to drug <strong>com</strong>panies. As the DSM<br />
expands the definitions of anxiety, more<br />
and more people will meet the threshold of<br />
an anxiety disorder. Pharmaceutical<br />
<strong>com</strong>panies have a great deal at stake as<br />
more patients will look to pills for<br />
treatment.<br />
The Age of Anxiety investigates the role<br />
that pharmaceutical <strong>com</strong>panies, and even<br />
the psychiatric profession, play in this<br />
phenomenon. Is our anxiety fueling an<br />
industry that in turn is profiting from and<br />
exploiting our dread in a vicious and<br />
self-perpetuating cycle?<br />

REPRODUCTION<br />
All forms of life - from simple to <strong>com</strong>plex -<br />
share an ability and instinct to reproduce.<br />
Reproduction occurs either sexually<br />
through an exchange of genetic material<br />
between two organisms, or asexually<br />
where organisms replicate offspring with<br />
an identical genetic makeup to their parent.<br />
This program looks at sexual and asexual<br />
reproduction, starting at the cellular level,<br />
with clear explanations of meiosis and<br />
mitosis. The various benefits and<br />

reproduction are examined, as well as<br />
exploring the biological processes of<br />

While the rural polyphonic songs of<br />
Georgia (Caucasus) are internationally<br />
appreciated and have be<strong>com</strong>e a national<br />
symbol, the urban instrumental music of<br />
the eastern part of the country is less well<br />
known. The Georgian duduki, a<br />
double-reed wind instrument of the oboe<br />
family, is known by different names in<br />
neighboring countries such as Armenia,<br />
Azerbaijan, Iran and Turkey.<br />
In the 19th century Tbilisi, the capital of<br />
Georgia, had a large multi-lingual<br />
population <strong>com</strong>posed mainly of Georgians,<br />
Armenians, Azeri and Kurds, who<br />
practised and listened to duduki music.<br />
Traditional duduki music, performed by a<br />
soloist, a drone player, and a doli drummer<br />
who is also a singer, is derived from<br />
Middle Eastern styles and repertoires.<br />
Georgian musicians in the 20th century<br />
developed westernized local styles<br />
recalling the famous three-part polyphonic<br />
rural singing.<br />
At a rehearsal for an up<strong>com</strong>ing concert,<br />
his students perform traditional oriental<br />
repertoires as well as modern westernized<br />
songs.<br />

NATIVE NORTH<br />
AMERICANS<br />
6 6 GENERATIONS<br />
GENERATIONS<br />
By Paul Goldsmith<br />
Ernestine De Soto is a Chumash Native<br />
American whose mother Mary Yee was<br />
the last speaker of her native Barbareno<br />
language. In 6 Generations, her family<br />
reaches back to the days the Spanish<br />
arrived in Santa Barbara and made first<br />
contact. Ernestine tells this history from<br />
the perspective of her female ancestors,<br />
making her a unique link with the past.<br />
Famous anthropologist John Peabody<br />
Harrington, whose work focused on native<br />
peoples of California, started research<br />
with her family in 1913 and continued with<br />
three generations for nearly 50 years. This<br />
inspired Ernestine's mother to begin taking<br />
notes and, <strong>com</strong>bined with mission records<br />
(which survived intact from the late 1700s),<br />
they form the heart of this story. Because<br />
of these circumstances, her story, possible<br />
only in California, is unique in America.<br />
The impact of loss of land, language,<br />
culture and life itself is made all the more<br />
clear as this story is told in Native<br />
American voices, who describe the events<br />
as they experienced them. Ultimately, it is<br />
a story of survival and the fierce<br />
endurance of Ernestine's ancestors,<br />
particularly the women.<br />
Review<br />
� "This is history as autobiography,<br />
foregrounding the power of language<br />
and telling a checkered tale of cultural<br />
survival in the extreme. The time<br />
depth is simply astonishing, and the<br />
narrative is frank and true and<br />
sometimes stark. 6 Generations is a<br />
home run. I cannot re<strong>com</strong>mend it<br />
highly enough." - David Hurst Thomas,<br />

CHASING CHASING WATER<br />
WATER<br />
Directed by Pete McBride<br />
Breathtaking photography tells the story of<br />
the Colorado River, which flowed to the<br />
sea for 6 million years and now dries up 90<br />
miles short of the Sea of Cortez.<br />
After spending a decade working abroad<br />
as a photojournalist, Colorado native Pete<br />
McBride, decided to focus on something<br />
closer to his home and his heart: the<br />
Colorado River which cuts through his<br />
backyard. Taking nearly three years,<br />
McBride followed the river source to sea<br />
on a personal journey to see exactly<br />
where the river goes and what be<strong>com</strong>es of<br />
the irrigation water that flows across his<br />
family's cattle ranch in central Colorado<br />
after it returns to the creek.<br />
Recruiting hisfather, John, as his personal<br />
pilot McBride chose an aerial vantage to<br />
capture a unique and fresh view of the<br />
Colorado River Basin. He also partnered<br />
with Jon Waterman, an author who stayed<br />
stream level to paddle the entire length of<br />
the river.<br />
This short film takes the viewer on a 1,500<br />
mile adventure downstream, from<br />
mountains and cities and through canyons<br />
and across shrinking reservoirs. For 6<br />
million years the Colorado River flowed to<br />
the sea. Today it runs dry some 90 miles<br />
shy of its historic terminus at the Sea of<br />
Cortez.<br />
This visual journey is both revealing and<br />
alarming as it highlights the state of the<br />
river and the Southwest's drying future.<br />
Featuring the photography of Pete<br />
McBride and music by Explosions In The<br />
Sky, This Will Destroy You, Jesse Cook,<br />
and Ludovico Einaudi.<br />
master musician Eldar Shoshitashvili and<br />

YOU'VE YOU'VE YOU'VE BEEN BEEN BEEN TRUMPED<br />
TRUMPED<br />
Directed by Anthony Baxter<br />
In this David and Goliath story for the 21st<br />
century, a group of proud Scottish<br />
homeowners take on a celebrity tycoon. At<br />
stake is one of Britain's very last stretches<br />
of wilderness.<br />
American billionaire Donald Trump has<br />
bought up hundreds of acres on the<br />
northeast coast of Scotland, best known to<br />
movie-lovers as the setting for the 1983<br />
classic film LOCAL HERO. And like the<br />
American oil tycoon played by Burt<br />
Lancaster, he needs to buy out a few more<br />
locals to make the deal <strong>com</strong>e true. In a<br />
land swimming with golf courses, Trump is<br />
going to build two more - alongside a<br />
450-room hotel and 1,500 luxury homes.<br />
The trouble is, the land he has purchased<br />
occupies one of Europe's most<br />
environmentally sensitive stretches of<br />
coast, described by one leading scientist<br />
as Scotland's Amazon rain forest. And the<br />
handful of local residents don't want it<br />
destroyed.<br />
After the Scottish Government overturns<br />
its own environmental laws to give Trump<br />
the green light, the stage is set for an<br />
extraordinary summer of discontent, as<br />
the bulldozers spring into action. Water<br />
and power is cut off, land disputes erupt,<br />
and some residents have thousands of<br />
tonnes of earth piled up next to their<br />
homes. Complaints go ignored by the<br />
police, who instead arrest the film's<br />
director, Anthony Baxter. Local<br />
exasperation <strong>com</strong>es to a surreal head as<br />
the now "Dr." Trump scoops up an<br />
honorary doctorate from a local university,<br />
even as his tractors turn wild, untouched<br />
dunes into fairways.<br />
Told entirely without narration, YOU'VE<br />
BEEN TRUMPED captures the cultural<br />
chasm between the glamorous, jet-setting<br />
and media savvy Donald Trump and a<br />
deeply rooted Scottish <strong>com</strong>munity. What<br />
begins as an often amusing clash of world<br />
views grows increasingly bitter and<br />
disturbing. For the tycoon, the golf course<br />
is just another deal, with a possible billion<br />
dollar payoff. For the residents, it<br />
represents the destruction of a globally<br />
unique landscape that has been the<br />
backdrop for their lives.<br />
Funny, inspiring and heartbreaking in turns,<br />
YOU'VE BEEN TRUMPED is both an<br />
entertaining, can't-believe-it's-true tale and<br />
an environmental parable for our celebrity<br />
driven times. A moving score features<br />
music from jonsi, the internationally<br />
acclaimed musician and frontman of Sigur<br />
Ros. The film also offers a rare and<br />
revealing glimpse of the unfiltered Donald<br />
Trump, as he considers standing as a<br />
candidate for President of the United<br />
States.<br />

The term asepsis often refers to those<br />
practices used to promote or induce<br />
asepsis in an operative field in surgery or<br />
medicine to prevent infection. This video<br />
explains the concepts of medical and<br />
surgical asepsis by looking at risks for<br />

EVALUATION<br />
The nurse implements the nursing care<br />
plan, performing the determined<br />
interventions that were selected to help<br />
meet the goals/out<strong>com</strong>es that were<br />
established. Delegated tasks and the<br />
monitoring of them is included here as well.<br />
The nurse evaluates the progress toward<br />
the goals/out<strong>com</strong>es identified in the<br />
previous phases. If progress towards the<br />
goal is slow, or if regression has occurred,<br />
the nurse must change the plan of care<br />
accordingly. Conversely, if the goal has<br />
been achieved then the care can cease.<br />
<strong>New</strong> problems may be identified at this<br />
stage, and thus the process will start all<br />
over again. This video lecture explains<br />
how implementing relates to other phases<br />

Pain is an unpleasant sensory and<br />
emotional experience associated with<br />
actual or potential tissue damage, or<br />
described in terms of such damage. This<br />
extensive lecture covers types and<br />
categories of pain according to location,<br />
etiology, and duration while differentiating<br />
pain threshold from pain tolerance.<br />
Processes involved in nociception, how<br />
pain interventions can work during each<br />
process and the gate control theory and its<br />
application to nursing care are delineated.<br />
The video lecture identifies subjective and<br />
objective data to collect and analyze when<br />
assessing pain and while giving examples<br />
of nursing diagnoses for clients with pain.<br />
Barriers to effective pain management and<br />
pharmacologic interventions for pain are<br />
described together with terms such as<br />
tolerance, dependence, and addiction.<br />
World Health Organization's ladder step<br />
approach to cancer pain, rationales for<br />
using various analgesic delivery routes<br />
and nonpharmacologic pain control<br />
interventions are discussed.<br />

The perioperative period is the time period<br />
describing the duration of a patient's<br />
surgical procedure; this <strong>com</strong>monly<br />
includes ward admission, anesthesia,<br />
surgery, and recovery. Perioperative<br />
generally refers to the three phases of<br />
surgery: preoperative, intraoperative, and<br />
postoperative. The goal of perioperative<br />
care is to provide better conditions for<br />
patients before operation, during operation,<br />
and after operation. This video describes<br />
each phase of the perioperative period<br />
and various types of surgery according to<br />
degree of urgency, degree of risk, and<br />
purpose. The lecture offers essential<br />
aspects of preoperative assessment,<br />
teaching, including pain control, moving,<br />
leg exercises, and coughing and<br />
deep-breathing exercises giving examples<br />
of pertinent nursing diagnoses for surgical<br />
clients and nursing responsibilities in<br />
planning perioperative nursing care.<br />
These are essential aspects of preparing a<br />
client for surgery, including skin<br />
preparation, types of anesthesia and also<br />
interventions during the immediate<br />
postanesthetic phase. Management of<br />
gastrointestinal suction and appropriate<br />
wound care for a postoperative client is<br />
essential part of this lecture and overall<br />

vital signs normally entails recording body<br />
temperature, pulse rate (or heart rate),<br />
blood pressure, and respiratory rate, but<br />
may also include other measurements.<br />
Vital signs often vary by age. This video<br />

ORFEO ORFEO ED ED EURIDICE EURIDICE -<br />
GLUCK GLUCK<br />
GLUCK<br />
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the<br />
small but ambitious Spanish "Festival<br />
Internacional de Musica Castell de<br />
Peralada", the Catalan theater collective<br />
La Fura dels Baus and its director Carlus<br />
Padrissa have staged Gluck's opera<br />
"Orfeo ed Euridice" with three splendid<br />
female voices and in a production that<br />
wonderfully reflects the Fura's<br />
never-failing imaginativeness.<br />
The most striking aspect of the production<br />
is the direct involvement of the musical<br />
ensemble in the action.<br />
The group, bandArt, is an instrumental<br />
ensemble that performs standing, moving<br />
about or even dancing, on the stage and<br />
without a conductor.<br />
Stage director Padrissa goes so far as to<br />
exclaim: "Like Gluck, who with this opera<br />
opened the doors to the reformation of the<br />
opera 250 years ago, I feel that we are<br />
opening up a new path that will let the<br />
orchestra rise from the pit to incorporate<br />
itself into the action on stage" (Padrissa in<br />
El Pais).<br />
In addition to the visible instrumentalists,<br />
Padrissa also makes abundant stage use<br />

His staging is fundamentally inspired by<br />
sacred medieval iconography and the<br />

Romanesque and Gothic churches.<br />
Combined with visually stunning effects,<br />

the production grabs the viewer from the<br />

What makes or breaks Gluck's opera is<br />
the role of Orfeo. Since Gluck's original<br />
Italian version is performed here, the role<br />
of Orfeo is performed by a mezzo, Anita<br />
Rachvelishvili of Georgia, a singer who<br />
unfailingly <strong>com</strong>mands the stage with her<br />
infinite range of expressions both vocal<br />
and dramatic.<br />
Maite Alberola's Euridice and Auxiliadora<br />
Toledano's Amor blend their voices<br />

Such a <strong>com</strong>bination of gentleman and<br />

candidate to make "all Rome tremble<br />

Tosca is a classic example of Puccini's<br />
three-person dramatic structure – a tragic<br />
pair of lovers juxtaposed with an<br />
interfering baritone!<br />
But these traditional roles are portrayed<br />
here in a much more realistic and psycho-<br />

In vocal and dramatic terms however, the<br />
main attraction remains the title figure –<br />
and the reason why the work, became the<br />

Why do we need creativity? The world is<br />

Dr. Seelig's model for the "Innovation<br />

the internal strengths of imagination,<br />

PERFORMANCE<br />
JATHILAN: JATHILAN: TRANCE TRANCE AND<br />
AND<br />
POSSESSION POSSESSION IN IN JAVA<br />
JAVA<br />
By Robert Lemelson<br />
Practiced in Java for centuries, Jathilan is<br />
a folk dance that uses the power of music<br />
and dance to channel powerful and<br />
sometimes terrifying forces. Led by a<br />
spiritual guide and a whip-bearing<br />
ringleader, a group of dancers ride woven<br />
horses in rhythmic unison until they are<br />
entered by spirits. Once possessed they<br />
engage in a range of self-mortification<br />
behaviors until safely emerging from their<br />
altered state, left with no memory of the<br />
event and no lingering ill effects.<br />
The film <strong>com</strong>bines footage of a number of<br />
Jathilan performances with interviews with<br />
dancers, spiritual leaders, anthropologists,<br />
and enthusiasts. This extraordinary<br />
practice be<strong>com</strong>es more than just<br />
spectacle as Jathilan is contextualized<br />
within broader processes of Indonesian<br />
historical, political and social change and<br />
the viewer is provided a window into the<br />
subjective experiences of those who<br />
participate. Multiple interpretations of<br />
Jathilan's significance ultimately emerge,<br />
from an empirical proof of spiritual<br />
presence, to a strategy of <strong>com</strong>munity<br />
building, to a resistant expression of folk<br />
identity.<br />

PHILOSOPHY<br />
MARX MARX MARX RELOADED<br />
RELOADED<br />
By Jason Barker<br />
MARX RELOADED is a cultural<br />
documentary that examines the relevance<br />
of German socialist and philosopher Karl<br />
Marx's ideas for understanding the global<br />
economic and financial crisis.<br />
The recent crisis triggered the deepest<br />
global recession in 70 years and prompted<br />
the US government to spend more than 1<br />
trillion dollars in order to rescue its banking<br />
system from collapse. Today the full<br />
implications of the crisis in Europe and<br />
around the world still remain unclear.<br />
Nevertheless, should we accept the crisis<br />
as an unfortunate side-effect of the free<br />
market? Or is there another explanation<br />
as to why it happened and its likely effects<br />
on our society, our economy and our<br />
whole way of life?<br />
Today a new generation of philosophers,<br />
artists and political activists are returning<br />
to Marx's ideas in order to try to make<br />
sense of the crisis and to consider whether<br />
a world without or beyond capitalism is<br />
possible. Is the severity of the ongoing<br />
recession a sign that the capitalist<br />
system's days are numbered? Ironically,<br />
20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall,<br />
could it be that <strong>com</strong>munism might provide<br />
the solution to the growing economic and<br />
environmental challenges facing the<br />
planet?<br />
Written and directed by Jason Barker –<br />
himself an experienced writer, lecturer,<br />
translator and doctor of philosophy –<br />
MARX RELOADED includes interviews<br />
with leading thinkers on Marxism,<br />
including those at the forefront of a<br />
popular revival in Marxist and <strong>com</strong>munist<br />
ideas. The film also includes interviews<br />
with leading skeptics of this revival as well<br />
as light-hearted animation sequences<br />
which follow Marx's adventures through<br />
the matrix of his own ideas.<br />
Interviews with leading experts include:<br />
Norbert Bolz, Micha Brumlik, John Gray,<br />
Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri, Nina Power,<br />
Jacques Ranciere, Peter Sloterdijk,<br />

MARX MARX RELOADED<br />
RELOADED<br />
By Jason Barker<br />
MARX RELOADED is a cultural<br />
documentary that examines the relevance<br />
of German socialist and philosopher Karl<br />
Marx's ideas for understanding the global<br />
economic and financial crisis.<br />
The recent crisis triggered the deepest<br />
global recession in 70 years and prompted<br />
the US government to spend more than 1<br />
trillion dollars in order to rescue its banking<br />
system from collapse. Today the full<br />
implications of the crisis in Europe and<br />
around the world still remain unclear.<br />
Nevertheless, should we accept the crisis<br />
as an unfortunate side-effect of the free<br />
market? Or is there another explanation<br />
as to why it happened and its likely effects<br />
on our society, our economy and our<br />
whole way of life?<br />
Today a new generation of philosophers,<br />
artists and political activists are returning<br />
to Marx's ideas in order to try to make<br />
sense of the crisis and to consider whether<br />
a world without or beyond capitalism is<br />
possible. Is the severity of the ongoing<br />
recession a sign that the capitalist<br />
system's days are numbered? Ironically,<br />
20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall,<br />
could it be that <strong>com</strong>munism might provide<br />
the solution to the growing economic and<br />
environmental challenges facing the<br />
planet?<br />
Written and directed by Jason Barker –<br />
himself an experienced writer, lecturer,<br />
translator and doctor of philosophy –<br />
MARX RELOADED includes interviews<br />
with leading thinkers on Marxism,<br />
including those at the forefront of a<br />
popular revival in Marxist and <strong>com</strong>munist<br />
ideas. The film also includes interviews<br />
with leading skeptics of this revival as well<br />
as light-hearted animation sequences<br />
which follow Marx's adventures through<br />
the matrix of his own ideas.<br />
Interviews with leading experts include:<br />
Norbert Bolz, Micha Brumlik, John Gray,<br />
Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri, Nina Power,<br />
Jacques Ranciere, Peter Sloterdijk,<br />
Alberto Toscano, and Slavoj Zizek.<br />

This DVD describes the ACE Study's<br />
implications for the healthcare professions:<br />
that all patients should be routinely<br />
screened for adverse childhood<br />
experiences; that a childhood trauma<br />
history may be very relevant to both<br />
serious illness and vague somatic<br />

ANAL ANALYSIS ANAL YSIS OF THE THE FORMS<br />
OF OF ANIMAL ANIMAL LEARNING, LEARNING, AN<br />
AN<br />
Conditioned response learning forms are<br />
represented in three examples: 1) leg<br />
flexion initiated with electric shock and<br />
conditioned to sound;2) the running<br />
response in an exercise cage initiated by<br />
shock and conditioned to sound; 3)<br />
general activity in a suspended cage<br />
initiated by shock and conditioned to<br />
sound, with the medthod of kymographoc<br />
recording indicated.<br />
The second learning form, problem solving,<br />
is exhibited in two examples: 1) a cat<br />
learns to pull a string in order to drag a<br />
dish into position for eating. Several<br />
unattached strings are also presented to<br />
cat. In second scenaroi, cat never learns<br />
to distinguish between attached and<br />
unattached string, an example of<br />
"positional learning". 2) the cat learns to<br />
push a a ball into a hopper in order to<br />
open a door exposing food.<br />
The third learning form, discriminative<br />
learning, is shown in film 3, as three<br />
examples: 1) the cat learns to select the<br />
door on which as triangle has been<br />
painted and 2) the cat learns to select the<br />
brighter of two doors before pressing a<br />
pedal which releases the obstruction to<br />
the food reward. 3) the cat learns to<br />
choose a door behind which a sounding<br />
device has been placed.<br />
The fourth learning example , <strong>com</strong>pound<br />
learning, is illustrated in two sessions 1)<br />
the cat learns to press two pedals<br />
alternately in order to open the food<br />
troughs. 2) The cat learns to pull a string<br />
releasing a ball which is pushed into a<br />
hopper exposing food.<br />

-- personal, scientific, historical, and<br />
cultural - and examines the various<br />
influences that shape us as individuals<br />
and as members of the families and<br />
societies in which we are raised. The first<br />
program explores the mutual influence<br />
and importance of both "nature" and<br />
"nurture," the ongoing interaction of time,<br />

NATURAL NATURAL HISTORY HISTORY OF OF<br />
OF<br />
LAUGHTER, LAUGHTER, A<br />
A<br />
By Jacques Mitsch<br />
For how long have we been laughing? Are<br />
human beings the only ones to laugh? In<br />
the past, scientists tended to neglect such<br />
questions of laughter, leaving them to the<br />
philosophers. Jacques Mitsch's A<br />
NATURAL HISTORY OF LAUGHTER<br />
explores recent scientific attempts to<br />
explicate this most elusive of human<br />
faculties, undertaken by scientists who<br />
see it as a means of approaching some of<br />
the larger mysteries of neurology and<br />
human behavior.<br />
The investigation begins in the United<br />
States with Robert Provine, a<br />
neuroscientist and psychologist at the<br />
University of Maryland who has devoted<br />
his career to the study of the evolution of<br />
human laughter and the neural<br />
mechanisms that produce it. We follow<br />
Provine into the classroom, the lab, and<br />
finally, the field - in this case, a college<br />
cafeteria - as he explains what his studies<br />
of laughter have revealed about the<br />
human brain.<br />
But laughter did not begin with humans.<br />
The film burrows deeper into its<br />
evolutionary origins with Dutch ethologist<br />
Jan Van Hoof, another pioneer of the<br />
laughter sciences. Van Hoof takes us<br />
inside his chimpanzee observation cabin<br />
to witness his behavioral experiments with<br />
the primates, showing us how he<br />
determined what constitutes chimpanzee<br />
laughter, and how he distinguishes<br />
between different vocalizations and facial<br />

expressions.<br />
From these discipline-defining studies, A<br />
NATURAL HISTORY OF LAUGHTER<br />
expands outwards as Mitsch's scientist<br />
subjects track the broader implications of<br />
their findings. They leave us with a series<br />
of suggestive questions. How do animals<br />
experience emotions? Is laughter at the<br />
root of human empathy? Does laughter<br />
contribute to or indicate overall health?<br />
Prompting these thoughts and many<br />
others, this informative film is bound also<br />
to make you laugh - but not in the ways<br />
you expected.<br />

Rene Spitz, M.D. conducts a <strong>com</strong>parison<br />
of five pairs of children, each pair<br />
age-matched within one week. Each pair<br />
consists of a.) A desired, loved child in a<br />
<strong>com</strong>fortable middle-class environment and<br />
b.) A waif raised by its mother in an<br />
excellently appointed foundling home with<br />
good hygienic care and adequate food<br />
during the first four months of life. The<br />
activities of ten children are shown during<br />
the first five months. The second part of<br />
the film shows the <strong>com</strong>parison between<br />
the children raised in families and the<br />
foundling-home children at age levels<br />
between thirteen and fourteen months.<br />
While the family children continue to be<br />
raised in an atmosphere of happy<br />
emotional interchange by their parents,<br />
the institutionalized children were<br />
separated from their mothers around the<br />
age of five months. A <strong>com</strong>parison, age for<br />
age, between the behavior of the family<br />
children and that of the institutionalized<br />
children is shown. The ravages wrought<br />
by the emotional deprivation of the<br />
institutionalized children is vividly<br />
illustrated in their extreme bodily<br />
retardation, in their progressive mental<br />
deterioration, and in their lowered<br />

Clients in the process of recovery from<br />
childhood abuse go through a necessary<br />
rageful stage. Many therapists readily<br />
identify with their clients' suffering, pain<br />
and loss, but find it much more difficult to<br />
deal with their feelings of rage and the<br />
desire for revenge. Yet expressing these<br />
affects is an important part of healing. In<br />
this video, therapist David Calof uses a<br />
model therapy session to demonstrate a<br />
"rage dump" process, which allows safe<br />
and <strong>com</strong>plete expression of the rageful<br />
affects surrounding early trauma and loss.<br />
He also discusses contracting for limits<br />
and safety procedures, hypnotic<br />
techniques, and recognizing and<br />

RACE AND RACISM<br />
SUN SUN SUN KISSED<br />
KISSED<br />
Directed by Maya Stark and Adi Lavy<br />
One gene exposes a nation's dark past. A<br />
Navajo couple with two children born with<br />
an extremely rare genetic disorder<br />
investigate the cause of the outbreak.<br />
For fifteen years Dorey and Yolanda Nez<br />
thought they were the only family on the<br />
Navajo Reservation who had children with<br />
an extremely rare genetic disorder that<br />
only shows up at a rate of one in a million<br />
in the general population. Behind the<br />
closed curtains of their trailer, parked in<br />
the stark desert of <strong>New</strong> Mexico, they care<br />
for their 16-year-old daughter Leanndra.<br />
Just like her brother who passed away at<br />
age 11, Leanndra was born with<br />
Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP), a rare<br />
genetic disorder that makes any exposure<br />
to sunlight fatal.<br />
Filmed over three years, with<br />
unprecedented access to the Navajo<br />
<strong>com</strong>munity, Sun Kissed follows Dorey and<br />
Yolanda as they bravely confront long-held<br />
tribal taboos and question the rebellious<br />
choices of their youth. Ultimately their<br />
journey leads them to the shocking truth:<br />
Their children and other Navajo children<br />
are still paying the price for the American<br />
conquest of the tribe in the 1860s, a brutal<br />
campaign culminating in an<br />
almost-forgotten chapter in American<br />
history -- the Navajo "Long Walk" of 1864.<br />
Despite its importance as the defining<br />
moment in modern Navajo history and the<br />
beginning of their assimilation into<br />
American society, discussing the tragedy<br />
of the Long Walk remains a taboo topic<br />
within the Navajo <strong>com</strong>munity.<br />
What Dorey and Yolanda find challenges<br />
the core of their identity and everything<br />
they believe in, and exposes a fresh<br />
perspective on the <strong>com</strong>plex, cross-cultural<br />
identity of modern day Navajos. Focusing<br />
on the continuing implications of American<br />
colonialism and the genetic imprints it has<br />
left on this <strong>com</strong>munity, Sun Kissed<br />
presents a rare and realistic window into<br />
the issues confronting Native Americans<br />
today.<br />
Reviews<br />
� "A rare filmmaking<br />
ac<strong>com</strong>plishment...an amazing work<br />
that will touch your soul." - Bruce<br />
Johansen, Professor, Native<br />
American Studies, University of<br />
Nebraska<br />
� "Sun Kissed is a quiet, insistent look<br />
at some of the lasting effects of the<br />
Long Walk. It examines both the<br />
unknown and the unknowable along<br />
with the well known and the ignored.<br />
This is a film that should be examined<br />
along the wide arc of Native issues in<br />
contemporary America." - Theodore<br />

BON: BON: MUSTANG MUSTANG TO TO MENR MENRI MENR<br />
By Andrea Heckman, Rose Gordon, Tad<br />
Fettig<br />
Bon: Mustang to Menri tells the story of<br />
Asonam, a 10 yr. old boy, who made a<br />
journey from his homeland, the ancient<br />
kingdom of Mustang (now part of Nepal) to<br />
Menri Monastery in Northern India. There<br />
Asonam made the <strong>com</strong>mitment to be<strong>com</strong>e<br />
a Geshe, equivalent to a PhD, and after 13<br />
additional years of education in languages,<br />
philosophy, debate, and Bon traditions he<br />
achieved this goal.<br />
Decades after leaving his village, Asonam<br />
returns with the education, skill and will to<br />
answer a critically emerging need of the<br />
people of Mustang, those who follow Bon<br />
as well as those who follow other religious<br />
paths, by establishing a cultural center that<br />
will support and encourage the<br />
sustainability of their ancient and<br />
traditional heritage.<br />
Asonam's life is interwoven with the story<br />
of Bon and the efforts of the 33rd Abbot of<br />
Menri, who built Menri Monastery in<br />
Northern India after the destruction of the<br />
old Menri monastery in Tibet. This<br />
remarkable Abbot, as the head of an<br />
ancient lineage for over forty years, has<br />
orchestrated the preservation of Tibetan<br />
Bon culture and the education of<br />
thousands of monks, nuns and Bon<br />
children. He granted his approval and<br />
blessings with access to the monastery for<br />
this project.<br />
Filmed on location in Mustang, Nepal and<br />
Menri Monastery, India, the story<br />
illuminates the interconnectedness of<br />
education, <strong>com</strong>mitment to service and<br />
spiritual dedication. It <strong>com</strong>municates Bon's<br />
story and unique place in history while<br />
illuminating how and why the work that<br />
monks do is important to the modern world.<br />
It is a universal message, one that reveals<br />
how inspired individuals can over<strong>com</strong>e<br />
challenges and adversity to order to have<br />
a positive impact on the world while giving<br />
back to the people, places and traditions<br />
that nurtured them.<br />
In the current age of wars and turmoil, this<br />
is a relevant and uplifting story of lasting<br />
traditions that are meaningful in the<br />
modern world with values that potentially<br />
can inspire us and help us transcend our<br />
global challenges.<br />

TANTRA<br />
By Andy Lawrence<br />
A documentary feature film about one<br />
man's journey across northern India and<br />
his search for enlightenment. Rajive<br />
McMullen, a history teacher suffering from<br />
a debilitating illness, makes the painful<br />
journey into the heart of Tantra, searching<br />
for meaning in holy shrines, <strong>com</strong>ing close<br />
to death in cremation grounds and<br />
enjoying the chaos of the Aghori seekers.<br />
This film offers dramatic insight into Tantrik<br />
ideas about the life cycle, particularly<br />
death, and contributes much to our<br />
understanding of how we seek knowledge<br />
and how we die. The Lover and The<br />
Beloved also represents a realistic attempt<br />
to understand both the practice and<br />
illusive theory behind Indian Tantrism, and<br />
is intended to challenge widespread<br />
Western misinterpretations of this system<br />
of thought. Along the way we visit<br />
Kamakhya Devi in Assam and Tarapith in<br />
West Bengal, two of the most important<br />
centres of Tantrik Hinduism.<br />

EINSTEIN: EINSTEIN: THE THE MAN<br />
MAN<br />
BEHIND BEHIND THE THE GENIUS GENIUS<br />
GENIUS<br />
This unique one-man show stars actor<br />
Steve Polinsky who portrays the great<br />
scientist Albert Einstein. This dramatic<br />
production presents Einstein's life, and the<br />
ideals, conflicts, humor and <strong>com</strong>passion of<br />
the man who revolutionized our view of the<br />
universe. yIn the tradition of the finest<br />
one-man shows, this play has reaped its<br />
share of critical acclaim, and is now<br />
presented for the first time on DVD. This<br />
revealing program explores Einstein's<br />
private life. We discover in him a man of<br />
humor, deep moral <strong>com</strong>mitment,<br />
involvement in the political issues of his<br />
time, a contagious enthusiasm for life and<br />
a never-ending wonder about the world<br />
around him.<br />
We meet Albert Einstein at his home in<br />
Princeton, <strong>New</strong> Jersey in the autumn of<br />
his life. He recalls his youth in the patent<br />
office and the objections of his superiors<br />
working on a scientific paper during office<br />
hours-a paper that turned out to propose<br />
the theory of relativity. He is fascinated by<br />
everything around him-in a cup of tea the<br />
swirling leaves suggest to him aspects of<br />
the nature of the universe. A photo<br />
reminds him of the pain he suffered when<br />
he separated from his first wife. The<br />
warmth of his feelings towards people is<br />
matched by the outrage he feels toward<br />
the rise of fascism which forced him to<br />
leave his native Germany. Arriving in<br />
America, Einstein often speaks out<br />
passionately about the dangers of nuclear<br />
power. He talks of the honor he felt being<br />
offered the presidency of Israel, and he<br />
imagines a conversation with Sir Isaac<br />
<strong>New</strong>ton.<br />
In this thoughtful, provoking, humorous<br />
and human portrayal of Albert Einstein we<br />
discover not only the man who<br />
transformed our conception of the<br />
universe, but also the best parts of<br />
ourselves.<br />

By Robert Lemelson<br />
The film focuses on Ni Ketut Kasih who<br />
has lived her whole life surrounded by the<br />
<strong>com</strong>plex rhythms of the Balinese ritual<br />
calendar. Here, participation in ritual<br />
events is both a spiritual mandate and<br />
social obligation for women who spend<br />
countless hours crafting offerings. Ni<br />
Ketut's masterful hand has contributed to<br />
her status as a highly respected<br />
ceremonial leader. However, the<br />
pressures of ritual requirements often<br />
overwhelm her, crowding her mind with<br />
memories of her difficult childhood during<br />
Indonesia's war for independence. This<br />
may trigger Ketut's bi-polar disorder<br />
episodes, for which she has been<br />
hospitalized over 35 times. Ni Ketut's case<br />
reveals the binding associations that may<br />
make certain burdens unbearable as<br />
cultural obligations, traumatic historical<br />
events, and personal experience overlap<br />
in unique schemas of stress that trigger<br />
cyclical episodes of mental illness.<br />

I I DREAM DREAM OF OF OF MUMMERS<br />
MUMMERS<br />
MUMMERS<br />
By Adela Peeva<br />
I Dream of Mummers is a story about a<br />
custom, called kukeri, in which masked<br />
people dance at the end of Winter and the<br />
beginning of Spring. The custom's origins<br />
are hidden far back in the past — a<br />
tradition that has be<strong>com</strong>e part of the<br />
history of an entire nation. It is found in<br />
many places in Bulgaria, but here, in the<br />
village of Sushitsa, it has almost<br />
<strong>com</strong>pletely preserved its authenticity and<br />
can still be seen as it was performed<br />
centuries ago.<br />
For people here, this is the biggest feast of<br />
the year, and today, on its eve, the entire<br />
village is preparing for the celebration.<br />
Bells are tinkling, costumes and masks<br />
are taken out of drawers and attics.<br />
Everything looks just as it did in an old<br />
newsreel found in the National Film<br />
Archives. In 1942 — more than 60 years<br />
ago — cameras filmed the same<br />
celebration in the same village. Here the<br />
tradition is handed down from generation<br />
to generation, from father to son, and<br />
when shown this archival footage, some<br />
people in the village recognized their<br />
fathers and grandfathers. One man<br />
recognized his father and another saw his<br />
grandfather as a young man with curly<br />
mustache.<br />
This is a film about a small village and its<br />
inhabitants, about an ancient tradition that<br />
they have preserved almost intact to this<br />
day, and about a friendship as undying as<br />
the tradition itself.<br />

JATHILAN: JATHILAN: TRANCE TRANCE AND AND<br />
AND<br />
POSSESSION POSSESSION POSSESSION IN IN JAVA<br />
JAVA<br />
By Robert Lemelson<br />
Practiced in Java for centuries, Jathilan is<br />
a folk dance that uses the power of music<br />
and dance to channel powerful and<br />
sometimes terrifying forces. Led by a<br />
spiritual guide and a whip-bearing<br />
ringleader, a group of dancers ride woven<br />
horses in rhythmic unison until they are<br />
entered by spirits. Once possessed they<br />
engage in a range of self-mortification<br />
behaviors until safely emerging from their<br />
altered state, left with no memory of the<br />
event and no lingering ill effects.<br />
The film <strong>com</strong>bines footage of a number of<br />
Jathilan performances with interviews with<br />
dancers, spiritual leaders, anthropologists,<br />
and enthusiasts. This extraordinary<br />
practice be<strong>com</strong>es more than just<br />
spectacle as Jathilan is contextualized<br />
within broader processes of Indonesian<br />
historical, political and social change and<br />
the viewer is provided a window into the<br />
subjective experiences of those who<br />
participate. Multiple interpretations of<br />
Jathilan's significance ultimately emerge,<br />
from an empirical proof of spiritual<br />
presence, to a strategy of <strong>com</strong>munity<br />
building, to a resistant expression of folk<br />
identity.<br />

TANTRA<br />
By Andy Lawrence<br />
A documentary feature film about one<br />
man's journey across northern India and<br />
his search for enlightenment. Rajive<br />
McMullen, a history teacher suffering from<br />
a debilitating illness, makes the painful<br />
journey into the heart of Tantra, searching<br />
for meaning in holy shrines, <strong>com</strong>ing close<br />
to death in cremation grounds and<br />
enjoying the chaos of the Aghori seekers.<br />
This film offers dramatic insight into Tantrik<br />
ideas about the life cycle, particularly<br />
death, and contributes much to our<br />
understanding of how we seek knowledge<br />
and how we die. The Lover and The<br />
Beloved also represents a realistic attempt<br />
to understand both the practice and<br />
illusive theory behind Indian Tantrism, and<br />
is intended to challenge widespread<br />
Western misinterpretations of this system<br />
of thought. Along the way we visit<br />
Kamakhya Devi in Assam and Tarapith in<br />
West Bengal, two of the most important<br />
centres of Tantrik Hinduism.<br />

ON<br />
By Colette Piault<br />
Forty years after the production of The<br />
Fenland (Le Brouck) <strong>com</strong>es a follow up<br />
about the Audomarois Fenland.<br />
Return to the Brouck (Retour au Brouck)<br />
Set in the natural environment of northern<br />
France, criss-crossed with water ways,<br />
market gardening as well as breeding<br />
remain the only productive activities.<br />
Nevertheless, the number of fenlanders<br />
has seriously diminished from 200 farms<br />
in the 1970 to 40 in 2010. Other elements<br />
are now intervening such as ecology,<br />
preservation and development like the<br />
Natural Regional Park and the Romelaere<br />
Natural Reserve, or leisure activities like<br />
waterfowl hunting, fishing and tourism.<br />
Through images and words Return to the<br />
Brouck expresses this new reality,<br />
confronting the actors of the past - young<br />
fenlanders of the 70s - with the present.<br />
Juxtaposing the images of the past with<br />
those of 2010. The core of the film still<br />
remains, as in the 70s, the vivid problem<br />
of the present and the future of the<br />
Audomarois Fenland and its inhabitants.<br />

(HALOCYNTHIA (HALOCYNTH IA RORETZI)<br />
Covers the ascidian's life cycle and<br />
structure, and uses microphotography,<br />
time-lapse photography, and diagrams to<br />
document in detail the organism from<br />
fertilization to the larval stage, and then<br />
through metamorphosis to the young adult<br />
stage. Makes the point that ascidians, or<br />
sea squirts, are of particular interest to<br />
biologists because, from a phylo-genetic<br />
point of view, they represent a group<br />
between the vertebrates and the<br />
invertebrates.<br />

NATURAL NATURAL HISTORY HISTORY HISTORY OF<br />
OF<br />
LAUGHTER, LAUGHTER, A<br />
A<br />
By Jacques Mitsch<br />
For how long have we been laughing? Are<br />
human beings the only ones to laugh? In<br />
the past, scientists tended to neglect such<br />
questions of laughter, leaving them to the<br />
philosophers. Jacques Mitsch's A<br />
NATURAL HISTORY OF LAUGHTER<br />
explores recent scientific attempts to<br />
explicate this most elusive of human<br />
faculties, undertaken by scientists who<br />
see it as a means of approaching some of<br />
the larger mysteries of neurology and<br />
human behavior.<br />

The investigation begins in the United<br />
States with Robert Provine, a<br />
neuroscientist and psychologist at the<br />
University of Maryland who has devoted<br />
his career to the study of the evolution of<br />
human laughter and the neural<br />
mechanisms that produce it. We follow<br />
Provine into the classroom, the lab, and<br />
finally, the field - in this case, a college<br />
cafeteria - as he explains what his studies<br />
of laughter have revealed about the<br />
human brain.<br />
But laughter did not begin with humans.<br />
The film burrows deeper into its<br />
evolutionary origins with Dutch ethologist<br />
Jan Van Hoof, another pioneer of the<br />
laughter sciences. Van Hoof takes us<br />
inside his chimpanzee observation cabin<br />
to witness his behavioral experiments with<br />
the primates, showing us how he<br />
determined what constitutes chimpanzee<br />
laughter, and how he distinguishes<br />
between different vocalizations and facial<br />
expressions.<br />
From these discipline-defining studies, A<br />
NATURAL HISTORY OF LAUGHTER<br />
expands outwards as Mitsch's scientist<br />
subjects track the broader implications of<br />
their findings. They leave us with a series<br />
of suggestive questions. How do animals<br />
experience emotions? Is laughter at the<br />
root of human empathy? Does laughter<br />
contribute to or indicate overall health?<br />
Prompting these thoughts and many<br />
others, this informative film is bound also<br />
to make you laugh - but not in the ways<br />
you expected.<br />

REGENERATION<br />
REGENERATION<br />
Regeneration is a documentary film that<br />
follows the studies of scientists as they<br />
explore the possibilities of regenerative<br />
medicine in humans. Computer-generated<br />
images can present an idea of what would<br />
happen if the human body possessed<br />
regenerative capabilities similar to those of<br />
certain animals. An arm grows back after<br />
amputation; a foot regenerates in just a<br />
few days; a head blossoms on the trunk of<br />
a decapitated body. Currently human<br />
embryo research is forbidden, but<br />
alternative research on animal stem cells<br />
is showing that it just may be possible to<br />
adapt the miracle of re-growth to humans.<br />
This one-hour documentary tells the<br />
fascinating story of the search for<br />
Regeneration.<br />

YOU'VE YOU'VE BEEN BEEN TRUMPED<br />
TRUMPED<br />
TRUMPED<br />
Directed by Anthony Baxter<br />
In this David and Goliath story for the 21st<br />
century, a group of proud Scottish<br />
homeowners take on a celebrity tycoon. At<br />
stake is one of Britain's very last stretches<br />
of wilderness.<br />
American billionaire Donald Trump has<br />
bought up hundreds of acres on the<br />
northeast coast of Scotland, best known to<br />
movie-lovers as the setting for the 1983<br />
classic film LOCAL HERO. And like the<br />
American oil tycoon played by Burt<br />
Lancaster, he needs to buy out a few more<br />
locals to make the deal <strong>com</strong>e true. In a<br />
land swimming with golf courses, Trump is<br />
going to build two more - alongside a<br />
450-room hotel and 1,500 luxury homes.<br />
The trouble is, the land he has purchased<br />
occupies one of Europe's most<br />
environmentally sensitive stretches of<br />
coast, described by one leading scientist<br />
as Scotland's Amazon rain forest. And the<br />
handful of local residents don't want it<br />
destroyed.<br />
After the Scottish Government overturns<br />
its own environmental laws to give Trump<br />
the green light, the stage is set for an<br />
extraordinary summer of discontent, as<br />
the bulldozers spring into action. Water<br />
and power is cut off, land disputes erupt,<br />
and some residents have thousands of<br />
tonnes of earth piled up next to their<br />
homes. Complaints go ignored by the<br />
police, who instead arrest the film's<br />
director, Anthony Baxter. Local<br />
exasperation <strong>com</strong>es to a surreal head as<br />
the now "Dr." Trump scoops up an<br />
honorary doctorate from a local university,<br />
even as his tractors turn wild, untouched<br />
dunes into fairways.<br />
Told entirely without narration, YOU'VE<br />
BEEN TRUMPED captures the cultural<br />
chasm between the glamorous, jet-setting<br />
and media savvy Donald Trump and a<br />
deeply rooted Scottish <strong>com</strong>munity. What<br />
begins as an often amusing clash of world<br />
views grows increasingly bitter and<br />
disturbing. For the tycoon, the golf course<br />
is just another deal, with a possible billion<br />
dollar payoff. For the residents, it<br />
represents the destruction of a globally<br />
unique landscape that has been the<br />
backdrop for their lives.<br />
Funny, inspiring and heartbreaking in turns,<br />
YOU'VE BEEN TRUMPED is both an<br />
entertaining, can't-believe-it's-true tale and<br />
an environmental parable for our celebrity<br />
driven times. A moving score features<br />
music from jonsi, the internationally<br />
acclaimed musician and frontman of Sigur<br />
Ros. The film also offers a rare and<br />
revealing glimpse of the unfiltered Donald<br />
Trump, as he considers standing as a<br />
candidate for President of the United<br />
States.<br />

BATTLE BATTLE BATTLE FOR FOR THE THE THE ARAB<br />
ARAB<br />
VIEWER, VIEWER, THE THE<br />
THE<br />
By Nordin Lasfar<br />
In early 2011, people around the world<br />
tuned into Al Jazeera to watch the<br />
Egyptian revolution in real time.<br />
Meanwhile, rival broadcaster Al Arabiya<br />
was also offering near continuous<br />
coverage, with cameras on a balcony<br />
overlooking the 6th October Bridge, where<br />
protesters and police clashed.<br />
How was the content of those broadcasts -<br />
and the networks' subsequent coverage -<br />
influenced by their political allegiances?<br />
Featuring interviews with current and<br />
former journalists from both networks, and<br />
analysis from independent pundits, The<br />
Battle for the Arab Viewer highlights the<br />
philosophical differences between the two<br />
pan-Arab networks.<br />
Al Jazeera was created by the Emir of<br />
Qatar after he deposed his father in a coup.<br />
The station typically champions the poor<br />
and social movements - such as the<br />
Muslim Brotherhood - that are hostile to<br />
the Saudi regime. The station has grown<br />
highly influential. In the film, a passerby<br />
stops Al Jazeera's chief Cairo<br />
correspondent on the street to thank him<br />
and the government of Qatar for<br />
supporting the anti-Mubarak forces,<br />
saying the network is "90%" responsible<br />
for the revolution.<br />
With Al Jazeera supporting elements<br />
hostile to Saudi Arabia, the Saudis set up<br />
their own network as a counterpoint: the<br />
more conservative Al Arabiya, owned by a<br />
close friend of the royal family.<br />
While The Battle for the Arab Viewer offers<br />
insight and analysis, it also shows how the<br />
battle between the two networks plays out<br />
on the ground in Cairo. We go behind the<br />
scenes with Al Arabiya journalist Randa<br />
Abul Azm and Al Jazeera's Abdelfattah<br />
Fayed as they follow stories, break news,<br />
and cover events such as Hosni<br />
Mubarak's trial. (Azm is allowed into the<br />
courtroom, but Fayed is not.)<br />
Azm and Fayed each mirror their<br />
networks' respective demographics. Al<br />
Arabiya appeals to well-off, middle-class<br />
viewers who value security and stability.<br />
Enter Amz, who lives in a building built by<br />
her engineer father, on a street named for<br />
her grandfather. Fayed, representing the<br />
network that purports to stand for the<br />
downtrodden, shows us a photo of his<br />
father, who worked in agriculture.<br />
Both deny that their work is influenced by<br />
the political agendas of their networks'<br />
owners. But former employees of both<br />
networks tell a different story. Particularly<br />
striking is the case of Hafez al Mirazi, who<br />
was taken off Al Arabiya's airwaves after<br />
promising to put Saudi Arabia under the<br />
microscope on his show.<br />
Media bias is nothing new - as Mirazi says,<br />
viewers of Fox <strong>New</strong>s and MSNBC each<br />
know what they are going to get. What is<br />
different in the Arab world is that the<br />
networks are directly owned by states. He<br />
says, "They keep shifting according to the<br />
countries they are sponsored by, and that<br />
affects the stories their citizens get on a<br />
daily basis."<br />
Ultimately, the problem may resolve itself.<br />
As democracy spreads through the region,<br />
will truly independent media follow?<br />

CONSPIRACY CONSPIRACY CONSPIRACY RISI RISING RISI RISING<br />
NG<br />
Conspiracy theories are everywhere but<br />
how and why do we believe them?<br />
Belief in conspiracy pervades our modern<br />
culture and proliferates in cyberspace with<br />
thousands of sites dedicated to theories<br />
behind the deaths of John F. Kennedy and<br />
Princess Diana, UFOs, Area 51 and 9/11.<br />
CONSPIRACY RISING uses the latest<br />
science and psychology to investigate the<br />
causes of conspiracy theories, why we are<br />
wired to believe them, and how as a<br />
society it is imperative that we separate<br />
the fantasies from the real threats. It<br />
examines the ways that fearful people find<br />
<strong>com</strong>fort in the order and explanations that<br />
conspiracy theories provide.<br />
Combining remarkable, iconic archival<br />
footage, visits to the sites behind the most<br />
notorious conspiracy theories, and<br />
interviews with both leading conspiracy<br />
theorists and scientific experts,<br />
CONSPIRACY RISING will introduce the<br />
audience to fascinating material,<br />
outlandish claims and supposed "truths"<br />
that have been hidden for decades. All the<br />
while it questions why we choose to<br />

DEMOCRACIA DEMOCRACIA INDIGENA<br />
INDIGENA<br />
Democracia Indigena examines the rights<br />
revolution of Indian Mexico through the<br />
municipal elections in Huehuetla, Puebla -<br />
the same Totonac Indian <strong>com</strong>munity<br />
featured in "The Tree of Life" and "The<br />
Tree of Knowledge". In 1989, the<br />
Huehuetla Totonacs formed the<br />
Organizacion Independiente Totonaca<br />
(OIT), and joined in an electoral alliance<br />
with the Partido de la Revolucion<br />
Democratica to sweep the municipal<br />
elections. During the following nine years,<br />
the OIT and PRD carried out a non-violent<br />
revolution. The visible signs of this<br />
Totonac renaissance are the health posts,<br />
schools, drinking water, and electricity<br />
available to everyone for the first time. But<br />
the real change is in the new<br />
self-confidence and pride of the Totonacs<br />
themselves. Democracia Indigena follows<br />
Cruz Garcia, an "expatriate" Totonac, as<br />
he examines the changes in his homeland.<br />
Opening with the PRD electoral campaign,<br />
Cruz meets with the Totonac mayor and<br />
council, , visits rural projects, talks with his<br />
Totonac family and neighbors, as well as<br />
the parish priest and the mestizo mayoral<br />
candidate of the opposition PRI. With Cruz,<br />
we watch the voting, the vote counting,<br />
and the stunning 3 am victory celebration.<br />
The film concludes with an examination of<br />
the strengths and weaknesses of this<br />
powerful example of democracy in action.<br />

Beginning with Greek lyric poet Simonides<br />
of Ceos' invention of the 'memory palace' -<br />
in which memories are arranged in an<br />
imagined physical space - the film<br />
suggests that the recent flurry of<br />
credit-fueled property development has<br />
depleted not only national treasuries, but<br />
the distinctive characters of these nation's<br />
cities -- and therefore, their cultural<br />
memory as well.<br />
FUTURES MARKETS takes us inside the<br />
fluorescent-lit showrooms of real estate<br />
expos, where developers hawk shares in<br />
hotel and condo projects in places from<br />
Dubai to Miami. Outside, cars crawl<br />
forward on endless stretches of<br />
anonymous highway whose "straight lines<br />
point in the direction of promises." This is<br />
Spain, but it could be almost anywhere in<br />
the world.<br />
"The art of memory was practiced by<br />
philosophers, poets, and architects", a<br />
narrator tells us. In the film we see the art<br />
of forgetting is practiced by the real estate<br />
developers, as well as business school<br />
gurus - who pledge the keys to success in<br />
the same convention centers. Meanwhile,<br />
investment bankers bark orders into<br />
multiple phones, trading futures in their<br />
non-descript offices. All peddle the same<br />
dream: a tidy and prosperous future in<br />
identical spaces the world over.<br />
To make room for these new dreams,<br />
history must be evacuated. FUTURES<br />
MARKET meditates on great art works<br />
from the past by painters like Bosch,<br />
Michelangelo, Mantegna, and Raphael.<br />
The grand philosophical and spiritual<br />
visions represented in their paintings have<br />
been replaced by the vulgar ones<br />
embodied by the glass tower condos and<br />
infinity pools in gleaming architectural<br />
models.<br />
A modest alternative is offered with the<br />
introduction of Jesus Castro, a 92-year-old<br />
junk dealer more interested in collecting<br />
than selling. We watch movers cleaning<br />
out an apartment in an old building slated<br />
for demolition, bagging up the books,<br />
furniture, and religious artifacts that<br />
bespeak a particular cultural identity. They<br />
turn up in the new repository of cultural<br />
memory: not a palace, but Castro's flea<br />
market. His stubborn refusal to bow to the<br />
marketplace's demand to forget makes<br />
him the hero of this film, which illustrates<br />
how little most of us choose to remember.<br />
Reviews<br />
� "A <strong>com</strong>pelling meditation on dreams<br />
that doubles as an expose of how<br />
cheap those dreams have be<strong>com</strong>e,<br />
"Futures Market" is a wise and<br />
fulfilling film that bears lofty<br />
<strong>com</strong>parison with the work of Spanish<br />
maestro helmers Victor Erice and<br />
Jose Luis Guerin." - Variety<br />
� "Draw[s] attention to the invisible<br />
architects of the postmodern<br />
economy at the moment before it<br />
crashed, and...between what is<br />
discarded and devalued and the<br />
inflation of false values and dreams." -<br />

GREY GREY GREY LANE, LANE, THE<br />
THE<br />
How important is the ability to drive as we<br />
be<strong>com</strong>e older? How hard is it to maintain<br />
independence without it?<br />
Canada and other Western nations are<br />
grappling with the emotionally charged<br />
question of what to do about older people<br />
behind the wheel. While many seniors are<br />
superbly safe drivers, statistics show<br />
those 75 and older cause more crashes<br />
than teenagers per kilometer driven. Now,<br />
as Baby Boomers start hitting 65, Canada<br />
faces a "Boomsday" scenario. And the<br />
need for better rules, regulations and<br />
alternative means of transportation is<br />
nothing less than urgent.<br />
The Grey Lane takes a close, <strong>com</strong>pelling,<br />
and sometimes amusing look at the issue.<br />
Join host, seasoned stand-up <strong>com</strong>ic John<br />
Wing, as he hits the road, traveling to<br />
various locations in Canada and the<br />
United States to find out how the aging<br />
process affects driving skills, how older<br />
drivers are being tested, and what<br />
alternatives exist to help seniors get<br />
around once they voluntarily – or are<br />
forced to – give up their keys<br />

INSIDE INSIDE AFGHANISTAN<br />
AFGHANISTAN<br />
Shot in Kabul, Herat, Kandahar,<br />
Spinbuldak, and the Afghan countryside in<br />
1987, this film is a look at the 'other' side<br />
of the war in Afghanistan - the Communist<br />
government and its supporters. Inside<br />
Afghanistan opens with an examination of<br />
the war as seen by the Afghan army.<br />
The documentary then looks at the<br />
educated, urban modernizers and<br />
reformers who saw the "revolution" as a<br />
way to bring Afghanistan into the modern<br />
world, even if on the Soviet model: women<br />
teachers and medical students, doctors at<br />
a children's hospital, boys at a Soviet<br />
orphanage, government officials, party<br />
members, and a rare interview with then-<br />
President Najibullah himself.<br />
The second half of the film moves to the<br />
countryside, where we visit several groups<br />
of villagers who had left the Mujahedin and<br />
were fighting on the government side<br />
under the same khans (clan landlords)<br />
who earlier had led them in their fight<br />
against the government.<br />
Inside Afghanistan underscores the chasm<br />
between the urbanized, Westernizing<br />
supporters of the Communist government<br />
and the traditional Muslim world of the<br />
villages, still based on clan and feudal ties.<br />
Without preaching, the film breaks the<br />
stereotypes of Communist "puppets" and<br />
heroic "Freedom Fighters" to give the<br />
viewer a new understanding of the tragic<br />
and <strong>com</strong>plex struggle for change in<br />
Afghanistan - a struggle that is far from<br />
over.<br />

OUR OUR NEWSPAPER<br />
NEWSPAPER<br />
Directed by Eline Flipse<br />
After journalist Andrey Schkolni leaves his<br />
job at The Leninist, the state-supported –<br />
and state-censored – regional paper in<br />
Uljanovsk, Russia, he and his wife, Marina,<br />
decide to start their own newspaper. The<br />
couple takes on local apathy, isolationism,<br />
criticism, and ridicule; they are determined<br />
to serve the local population, located over<br />
550 miles from Moscow in a largely rural,<br />
often snowbound area. Week after week,<br />
everything from writing and researching<br />
the articles to designing the layout takes<br />
place in their small home. They even work<br />
to distribute the paper – which they name<br />
Our <strong>New</strong>spaper – with their tiny family car.<br />
Slowly Andrey's doggedly reported local<br />
news and Marina's horoscopes and home<br />
remedies begin to catch on. When Our<br />
<strong>New</strong>spaper's circulation and size climbs to<br />
7,000 weekly readers and eight pages, it<br />
begins to pose real <strong>com</strong>petition to the<br />
four-page Leninist. Finally, the isolated<br />
population can read their own news:<br />
instead of "articles" about far-off cities,<br />
golden harvests, and unrealizable state<br />
projects, Our <strong>New</strong>spaper reports on an<br />
impoverished village without running water<br />
for three months and profiles a<br />
courageous local doctor who makes<br />
house calls her bicycle despite freezing<br />
temperatures.<br />
Andrey and Marina's light-hearted local<br />

news gathering quickly gathers gravity,<br />
however … until it eventually puts its<br />
creators in danger. The issues facing the<br />
once prosperous but now economically<br />
depressed region are very serious.<br />
Despite his best efforts to protect himself<br />
and his wife, Andrey's reporting begins to<br />
implicate corrupt local corporations and<br />
political officials and raise thorny<br />
questions of journalistic and business<br />
ethics.<br />
Juxtaposing small, personal stories<br />
against the background of contemporary<br />
Russian history, OUR NEWSPAPER<br />
creates a portrait of personal integrity and<br />
bravery under increasingly desperate<br />
circumstances. The award-winning Dutch<br />
director Eline Flipse (Broken Silence,<br />
Albanian Stories) paints subtle portraits of<br />
her film's powerful personalities with<br />
warmth, humor and <strong>com</strong>plexity that will<br />
stay with you long after the film ends; it is<br />
an unforgettable illustration of modern<br />
Russia and the vital role of journalism in<br />
an emerging democracy.<br />
Reviews<br />
� "Highly Re<strong>com</strong>mended…In addition<br />
to discussing the challenges of "Our<br />
<strong>New</strong>spaper," the documentary<br />
conveys the isolation and remoteness<br />
of the place—frozen both<br />
metaphorically in Soviet time and<br />
literally in Russia's far north. It is a<br />
window into Russian provincial life in<br />
the 21st century—such a contrast to<br />
the wealthy cosmopolitan centers of<br />
Moscow and St. Petersburg." -<br />

meaning of African masks. During a 17 -<br />
year period Christopher Roy traveled<br />
through Burkina Faso, West Africa,<br />
observing funerals, initiations, market day<br />
dances, and village purification<br />
ceremonies. He learned the vital<br />
importance of these masked<br />
performances in the daily life of African<br />
peoples. Only after years of study was<br />
Roy able to gain permission to film the<br />
actual ceremonies of the masks for the<br />
first time and fully explain the meaning of<br />
these art objects. From this rare footage<br />
Roy created two unique programs for the<br />
world. Yaaba Soore: Path of the Ancestors,<br />
ideal for instruction of junior and senior<br />
high students, provides interpretations of<br />
the mask performances that make the<br />
objects we see displayed in American<br />
museums more meaningful. The<br />
emphasis is on the performance and the<br />
successful impersonation of the character<br />
of the spirit represented by the mask.<br />

INTELLIGENT INTELLIGENT STRATEGY<br />
STRATEGY<br />
With Richard Rumelt<br />
� Steve Jobs' plan for Apple in 1997:<br />
hatchet job or strategy?<br />
� Why financial performance goals are<br />
not strategy.<br />
� Creating proximate goals and "riding<br />
the wave" of change.<br />
Bad strategy is long on goals and vision<br />
and short on presenting a coherent set of<br />
actions for actually solving the<br />
fundamental problems facing an<br />
organization. Good strategy, on the other<br />
hand, flows from an honest diagnosis of<br />
your most critical challenge coupled with<br />
an action plan for specific objectives that<br />
your organization can reasonably<br />
ac<strong>com</strong>plish to over<strong>com</strong>e that challenge.<br />
Drawing on the successes of General<br />
Motors in the 1920s, NASA's Apollo<br />
program, Cisco, IKEA, and Nvidia,<br />
Professor Rumelt defines five elements of<br />
good strategies. First, use analytic tools to<br />
develop insight into the nature of your<br />
challenge. Then, define achievable<br />
proximate objectives toward your goal,<br />
recognize and ride the wave of change in<br />
your industry, build a "chain link" barrier to<br />
<strong>com</strong>petition, and finally, expect and<br />
over<strong>com</strong>e entropy and inertia from within.<br />

When Brad Smith took over as CEO, Intuit<br />

NURSING<br />
Ostomy surgery is a life-changing event. It<br />
is the job and function of the healthcare<br />
professional caring for the post-ostomy<br />
patient to provide care for the stoma.<br />
However, the healthcare professional<br />
should also understand that he/she plays<br />
a pivotal role in helping the patient with<br />
overwhelming emotions that often go<br />
along with ostomy.<br />
This course reviews the digestive system<br />
in brief and a few of the most frequently<br />
performed ostomies, the main medical<br />
conditions that may lead to an ostomy,<br />
post-operative and daily care for different<br />
ostomies. It also focuses on helping the<br />
patient prepare for discharge and life<br />
post-ostomy.<br />
The purpose of this program is to provide<br />
nurses and others an understanding of the<br />
importance of providing patients with<br />
appropriate care of stoma following<br />
ostomy procedures and addressing both<br />
physical and emotional issues involved in<br />
living with a stoma in order to assist the<br />
patient's continuing care.<br />
After watching this program viewers<br />
should be able to:<br />
� Define the terms "stoma" and<br />
"ostomy".<br />
� Describe the steps involved in caring<br />
for the stoma.<br />
� Define <strong>com</strong>mon ostomy procedures.<br />
� Describe the factors of a patient's<br />
self-care of his/her stoma.<br />
� Describe possible <strong>com</strong>plications and<br />
irrigation technique.<br />
� Develop a list of problematic foods<br />
that can produce odor, gas and other<br />
intestinal ailments that can cause the<br />
post-ostomy patient pain and<br />
embarrassment.<br />
� Describe the types of sexual<br />
dysfunction both male and female<br />
ostomy patients may experience and<br />
suggest ways these patients may help<br />
themselves over<strong>com</strong>e some of these<br />
issues.<br />

about the pioneering <strong>com</strong>munity-building<br />
project of the world-famous architect Frei<br />
Otto in Berlin, called the Okohaus—an<br />
experimental, ecological, customized<br />
housing project in the city center.<br />
Including interviews with Frei Otto,<br />
Christine Kanstinger-Otto, Hermann<br />
Kendel, Yona Friedman, Anne Lacaton &<br />
Jean-Philippe Vassal, and other involved<br />
architects, planners, and inhabitants, the<br />
film shows the development and the<br />
philosophy of the project, which was built<br />
for the International Building Exhibition in<br />
Berlin 1987 (IBA).<br />
The "Ecohouse" project hosts a number of<br />
experimental solutions to adaptable home<br />
building and personalization. The film<br />
explores the ideas that motivated the<br />
project, its underlying sustainability<br />
themes, and asks how these ambitions<br />
were realized.<br />
DREAMING OF A TREE HOUSE<br />
ultimately asks: What can we learn from<br />
the Okohaus? How can its design, building<br />
process, and the experience of its 20-plus<br />
year occupation inform ecological and<br />
design issues currently relevant to our<br />
society?<br />

PLANET<br />
PLANET<br />
Directed by Mark Kitchell<br />
The documentary of record on the<br />
environmental movement.<br />
A FIERCE GREEN FIRE: The Battle For a<br />
Living Planet is the first big-picture<br />
exploration of the environmental<br />
movement - grassroots and global<br />
activism spanning fifty years from<br />
conservation to climate change. From<br />
halting dams in the Grand Canyon to<br />
battling 20,000 tons of toxic waste at Love<br />
Canal; from Greenpeace saving the<br />
whales to Chico Mendes and the<br />
rubbertappers saving the Amazon; from<br />
climate change to the promise of<br />
transforming our civilization... the film tells<br />
vivid stories about people fighting - and<br />
succeeding - against enormous odds.<br />
The film is divided into five "acts".<br />
Act 1 focuses on the conservation<br />
movement of the `60s, David Brower and<br />
the Sierra Club's battle to halt dams in the<br />
Grand Canyon.<br />
Act 2 looks at the new environmental<br />
movement of the `70s with its emphasis on<br />
pollution, focusing on the battle led by Lois<br />
Gibbs over Love Canal.<br />
Act 3 is about alternative ecology strands<br />
and the main story is Greenpeace's<br />
campaign to save the whales.<br />
Act 4 explores global resource issues and<br />
crises of the `80s, focusing on the struggle<br />
to save the Amazon led by Chico Mendes<br />
and the rubber tappers.<br />
Act 5 concerns climate change.<br />

DJOKOVIC<br />
DJOKOVIC<br />
The US Open began in 1881 as the U.S.<br />
Championships, a relatively small event<br />
held at The Casino in <strong>New</strong>port, R.I. Today<br />
it has grown into the biggest tennis<br />
tournament in the world, with a long, rich<br />
tradition of attracting the best players from<br />
around the globe to perform on the world's<br />
greatest stage: the USTA Billie Jean King<br />
National Tennis Center in <strong>New</strong> York City.<br />
As the last major of the calendar year, the<br />
US Open annually brings down the curtain<br />
on the Grand Slam season with some of<br />
the most unforgettable matches in tennis<br />
history. In 2011, it featured another<br />
bruising battle between the best player of<br />
2010 (Rafael Nadal) and the best player of<br />
2011 (Novak Djokovic) <strong>com</strong>peting in the<br />
first repeat men's singles final since Ivan<br />
Lendl and Mats Wilander in 1987-88 and<br />
the first featuring the top two seeds since<br />
Pete Sampras defeated Michael Chang in<br />
1996.<br />
A year earlier Nadal knocked off Djokovic<br />
in four sets to win his first US Open<br />
championship and <strong>com</strong>plete the career<br />
Grand Slam. But Djokovic had turned the<br />
tables in 2011, defeating Nadal all five<br />
times they played—all in finals. A victory<br />
for Nadal, the reigning French Open<br />
champion, would give him a split of the<br />
year's four Grand Slam events and tie him<br />
with Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver for fourth<br />
all-time with 11 Grand Slam tournament<br />
titles. A victory for Djokovic would give him<br />
his first US Open title, make him just the<br />
sixth man in the Open Era to win three<br />
Grand Slam tournaments in a single<br />

the 125th Championships. In the Men's<br />
Singles, the world number one Rafael<br />

2011's form player Novak Djokovic.<br />
In the Women's Singles defending<br />

to win her 14th Grand Slam crown, despite<br />
having played sparingly since winning the<br />
2010 title due to injury and illness.<br />
Six-time champion Roger Federer, in<br />
search of a record equaling 7th triumph,<br />
crashed out at the quarter-final stage for<br />

the twelfth seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of<br />
France.<br />

Serena Williams failed in her bid to defend<br />
the women's title, losing out to Marion<br />
Bartoli of France in the fourth round. Andy<br />
Murray once again carried the hopes of<br />
the home nation.<br />
The Brit had his chances in his semi-final<br />
against Rafael Nadal, but the Spaniard<br />
ultimately proved too strong, winning 5-7,<br />
6-2,6-2, 6-4. In the Ladies Final a first<br />
Grand Slam title for Petra Kvitova saw her<br />
emulate childhood hero and <strong>com</strong>patriot<br />
Martina Navratilova; she became the first<br />
Czech champion since Jana Novotna in<br />
1998.<br />
The powerful left-hander defeated former<br />
winner Maria Sharapova in straight sets,<br />
6-3, 6-4. In the Men's Final defending<br />
champion Rafael Nadal came up against<br />
an inspired Novak Djokovic.<br />
The Serb outclassed the Spaniard to<br />
prevail 6-2, 6-3, l-6, 6-4. It was Djokovic's<br />
third Grand Slam title and first on the<br />
grass of SW19.<br />

Novak Djokovic underlined his new status<br />
as the world's top tennis player in 2011 by<br />
shattering Rafael Nadal's winning streak<br />
at Wimbledon to add his own name to the<br />
roll of honour at The Championships for<br />
the first time.<br />
The 24-year-old Serb, with his country's<br />
president watching from the Royal Box,<br />
won 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 in two hours 28<br />
minutes to continue his domination of the<br />
2011 season - and Nadal in particular -<br />
throughout this most amazing season in<br />
his career.<br />
Five times in succession he has now<br />
defeated the Spaniard in finals, but none<br />
were as important or will taste as sweet as<br />
this.<br />
Tipped to create an upset at the 2011<br />
Championships, few saw Petra Kvitova<br />
wining 6-3, 6-4 in one hour 25 minutes.<br />
Although Maria Sharapova's play fell well<br />
below her best levels, it was in no small<br />
part due to the big-hitting torrent directed<br />
at her by the 21-year-old whose first, but<br />
surely not last, Grand Slam victory this<br />
was.<br />

DJOKOVIC<br />
As the last major of the calendar year, the<br />
US Open annually brings down the curtain<br />
on the Grand Slam season with some of<br />
the most unforgettable matches in tennis<br />
history.<br />
In <strong>2012</strong>, it featured a marquee finale<br />
pitting the defending champion Novak<br />
Djokovic, pursuing his fourth straight<br />
hard-court Grand Slam title, against<br />
reigning Olympic champion Andy Murray,<br />
looking for his first Grand Slam title in his<br />
fifth Slam final.<br />
The two men entered the match with much<br />
in <strong>com</strong>mon. They were born one week<br />
apart in 1987 and grew up as junior rivals<br />
and subsequently as Top 5 players, each<br />
initially sitting just outside the top level set<br />
by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. But<br />
where Djokovic broke through with a<br />
transcendent 2011, Murray was still<br />
fighting to capture his first major crown.<br />
The Scotsman posted his biggest career<br />
victory earlier in the summer, taking the<br />
gold medal at the Summer Olympic<br />
Games, and was hoping to translate that<br />
into a victory in Flushing Meadows.<br />
Djokovic, however, had no designs on<br />
relinquishing his title, hoping to add it to<br />
the Australian Open championship he won<br />
earlier in the year and the three majors he<br />
captured in 2011.<br />
The result would be one of the most<br />
memorable men's singles finals of the<br />
Open Era.<br />

World No.1 Novak Djokovic faced No. 2<br />
Rafael Nadal in the Men's final, in their<br />

2011 was a stellar year for Djokovic, as he<br />

The US Open began in 1881 as the U.S.<br />
Championships, a relatively small event<br />
held at The Casino in <strong>New</strong>port, R.I. Today<br />
it has grown into the biggest tennis<br />
tournament in the world, with a long, rich<br />
tradition of attracting the best players from<br />
around the world to perform on the world's<br />
greatest stage: the USTA Billie Jean King<br />
National Tennis Center in <strong>New</strong> York City.<br />
As the last major of the calendar year, the<br />
US Open annually brings down the curtain<br />
on the Grand Slam season with some of<br />
the most unforgettable matches in tennis<br />
history.<br />
In 2006, it featured another stirring chapter<br />
in the growing rivalry between the winners<br />
of the last three US Open men's singles<br />
titles - two-time defending champion<br />
Roger Federer and 2003 champion Andy<br />
Roddick.<br />
The two met in the Wimbledon final in<br />
2004 and 2005, with Federer emerging<br />
victorious both times, and the Swiss<br />
entered the 2006 US Open on one of the<br />
greatest runs in the annals of the sport.<br />
The tournament's top seed, Federer had<br />
won seven of the past 11 Grand Slam<br />
events and was attempting to be<strong>com</strong>e the<br />
first man in tennis history to sweep the<br />
Wimbledon and the US Open titles for<br />
three consecutive years.<br />
The ninth-seeded Roddick, meanwhile,<br />
entered the final on a roll of his own.<br />
After a desultory spring knocked him out of<br />
the Top 10, Roddick teamed with new<br />
coach Jimmy Connors and embarked on a<br />
brilliant summer campaign, winning the<br />
Olympus US Open Series title for the<br />
second time. And buoyed by a series of<br />
impressive wins in Flushing Meadows,<br />
Roddick entered the final primed to derail<br />
Federer and reclaim his US Open crown.<br />

EINSTEIN: EINSTEIN: THE THE MAN<br />
MAN<br />
BEHIND BEHIND THE THE GENIUS<br />
GENIUS<br />
This unique one-man show stars actor<br />
Steve Polinsky who portrays the great<br />
scientist Albert Einstein. This dramatic<br />
production presents Einstein's life, and the<br />
ideals, conflicts, humor and <strong>com</strong>passion of<br />
the man who revolutionized our view of the<br />
universe. yIn the tradition of the finest<br />
one-man shows, this play has reaped its<br />
share of critical acclaim, and is now<br />
presented for the first time on DVD. This<br />
revealing program explores Einstein's<br />
private life. We discover in him a man of<br />
humor, deep moral <strong>com</strong>mitment,<br />
involvement in the political issues of his<br />
time, a contagious enthusiasm for life and<br />
a never-ending wonder about the world<br />
around him.<br />
We meet Albert Einstein at his home in<br />
Princeton, <strong>New</strong> Jersey in the autumn of<br />
his life. He recalls his youth in the patent<br />
office and the objections of his superiors<br />
working on a scientific paper during office<br />
hours-a paper that turned out to propose<br />
the theory of relativity. He is fascinated by<br />
everything around him-in a cup of tea the<br />
swirling leaves suggest to him aspects of<br />
the nature of the universe. A photo<br />
reminds him of the pain he suffered when<br />
he separated from his first wife. The<br />
warmth of his feelings towards people is<br />
matched by the outrage he feels toward<br />
the rise of fascism which forced him to<br />
leave his native Germany. Arriving in<br />
America, Einstein often speaks out<br />
passionately about the dangers of nuclear<br />
power. He talks of the honor he felt being<br />
offered the presidency of Israel, and he<br />
imagines a conversation with Sir Isaac<br />
<strong>New</strong>ton.<br />
In this thoughtful, provoking, humorous<br />
and human portrayal of Albert Einstein we<br />
discover not only the man who<br />
transformed our conception of the<br />
universe, but also the best parts of<br />
ourselves.<br />

Modeled after the stage and screen<br />

Man is the court-room dram-edy starring<br />
Jackie Mason as himself.<br />
Weeks before the premier of Jackie<br />
Mason's latest Broadway show, Jackie<br />
has been called to jury duty. Just like<br />
everyone else, he is reluctant to serve;<br />
naturally, he employs the talents of his<br />
lawyer, Raoul Felder, to help relieve him of<br />
his civic duty. During the selection process,<br />
Jackie is questioned by the prosecution<br />
and the defense. Jackie is so offended by<br />
the defense's questions, he talks his way<br />
right onto the jury. The jury is set: people<br />
from all walks of life: the Arabic foreman<br />
(Nicholas Viselli), an Italian sleaze-ball<br />
(Tony Darrow), a gay gossip columnist<br />
(Mo Mandel), a transvestite (Frank<br />
Anthony Polito), a country music singer<br />
(Brandon Kinney), a 9/11 rescue worker<br />
(Rolando Millet), a self-hating Jew (Marty<br />
McDonough), a psychologist (Paul<br />
Borghese), a feminist (Pamela Sabaugh),<br />
a model (Stacey Sipowicz), a teacher<br />
(Mike <strong>New</strong>man), and of course, Jackie<br />
Mason.<br />
On trial for murdering a decorated police<br />
veteran is Yusef (Justin P. Nardecchia), an<br />
Arabic teenager. The judge (Mark Levin)<br />
instructs the jury not to hurry their decision<br />
and also not to be harassed by Jackie.<br />
The jury is ushered into their deliberating<br />
room by the Bailiff (Dick Capri) where they<br />
begin their process.<br />
Inside the jury room Jackie creates utter<br />
chaos and takes it upon himself to<br />
convince the otherwise "not guilty" leaning<br />
jury that Yusef is guilty. The characters<br />
share stories with one another about their<br />
lives and experiences, tempers flare,<br />
emotions run rampant, and Jackie realizes<br />
he may have made a mistake. Jackie,<br />
being soft-hearted as he is, takes<br />
responsibility and tries re-convincing<br />
everyone that Yusef is innocent. This is a<br />
must-see DVD for all <strong>com</strong>edy lovers and<br />
Jackie Mason fans.<br />

WORLD HISTORY<br />
900 900 DAYS<br />
DAYS<br />
Directed by Jessica Gorter<br />
Is it better to acknowledge an unpalatable<br />
truth or to embrace the <strong>com</strong>fort of myth?<br />
Jessica Gorter's 900 DAYS contrasts the<br />
devastating and unforgettable stories<br />
recounted by survivors of the Siege of<br />
Leningrad, the infamous German<br />
blockade, which caused the deaths of<br />
more than 1 million people during World<br />
War II, with the triumphant memorials<br />
fabricated by the Russian state.<br />
The blockade, one of the most incredible,<br />
defining events of World War II, remains<br />
largely unremembered outside of Russia.<br />
In September 1941, the 3 million<br />
inhabitants of the city now known as St.<br />
Petersburg were trapped without food or<br />
drinking water. For 900 days of subzero<br />
temperatures, people had to eat glue,<br />
leather soles, cats, and perhaps even their<br />
fellow human beings. When the city finally<br />
opened up again, nearly a million had<br />
died.<br />
Immediately after the war, investigations of<br />
the blockade were forbidden. The Soviet<br />
propaganda machine transformed the<br />
survivors into a symbol of national heroism,<br />
silencing any questions about Stalin's war<br />
policy and its toll on the lives of ordinary<br />
Russians.<br />
In 900 DAYS, Gorter employs newly<br />
declassified material from the Secret<br />
Service archives that reveals, in coldly<br />
impersonal statistics, the extent of<br />
cannibalism in the blockaded city and the<br />
population's fury with their own authorities.<br />
Footage of present-day Russian<br />
memorials to the survivors of the siege<br />
illustrate the persistence of the official,<br />
heroic account of the event even in light of<br />
this new information.<br />
Elsewhere in the film, survivors speak<br />
openly, many for the first time in their lives,<br />
about their experiences and the post-war<br />
censorship. Their painful memories<br />
overshadow the public myth in which<br />
some of them had previously participated.<br />
All their lives they have been told they<br />
were heroes who guided the country<br />
toward victory, but they are increasingly<br />
aware that true recognition of their<br />
traumatic experience and the ruinous<br />
policies that allowed it to continue is still,<br />
even after half a century, far away.<br />
Reviews<br />
���� "Superb! A throat-gripping look at<br />
history and its continuing ramifications.<br />
Captures in 77 deeply troubling minutes<br />
the contradiction between the oficial<br />
version of a heroic populace persevering<br />
for the Motherland, and the private<br />
bitterness of a people disgusted by the<br />
way the Soviets and their heirs avoid<br />
questions of responsibility. Beautifully<br />
integrates past and present...900 DAYS<br />
shows that even grasping the horrors on<br />
an individual level is ultimately a task few<br />
are capable of <strong>com</strong>prehending." - Jay<br />
Weissberg, Variety<br />
� "These stories are not for the faint<br />
of heart. But the documentary will help<br />
students to understand the difference<br />
between memory and history, and<br />
between the heroic stories states often tell<br />
about wars and the suppression of the real<br />
events that did not fit their narratives. As<br />
such, this is an ideal documentary to show<br />
in any history class dealing with World War<br />
II or Soviet history." - Educational Media<br />

TINIEST TINIEST PLACE, PLACE, THE<br />
THE<br />
By Tatiana Huezo<br />
On the surface THE TINIEST PLACE is<br />
the story of Cinquera, a village literally<br />
wiped off the official map during El<br />
Salvador's 12-year civil war. But on a<br />
deeper level it is a story about the ability to<br />
rise, to rebuild and reinvent oneself after a<br />
tragedy.<br />
Holding the past and present in focus<br />
together, the film takes us to the tiny<br />
village nestled in the mountains amidst the<br />
humid Salvadoran jungle, while villagers,<br />
survivors of the war's massacres, recount<br />
their journey home at war's end. When<br />
they first returned their village no longer<br />
existed.<br />
Nevertheless they decided to stay. And<br />
over the years as they worked the land,<br />
built new homes and started new families,<br />
the people of Cinquera learned to live with<br />
sorrow.<br />
THE TINIEST PLACE juxtaposes scenes<br />
of contemporary village life, of Cinquera's<br />
remarkable renaissance, with stories of<br />
the war - how conflict arose, civil war<br />
erupted, and hopes for liberation turned to<br />
struggles for survival. "Don't cry when they<br />
kill me" a mother recalls her 14-year old<br />
daughter telling her before running away<br />
to fight with the rebel army.<br />
And though the village's history is always<br />
visible - in an elaborate memorial for the<br />
dead, or the persistent tremor of a<br />
survivor's hand, towards the end of THE<br />
TINIEST PLACE we too are returned to<br />
the present. A cow gives birth, a high<br />
school marching band plays, and children<br />
walk to school in the rain. We see that, if<br />
Cinquera is reemerging, it is through the<br />
strength and deep love of its inhabitants.<br />
