Ruby Bridges (1998) DVD5

In this winning historical film, made for "the Wonderful World of Disney", newcomer Chaz Monet portrays bright, caring six-year-old Ruby Bridges who led the integration movement in the 1960's by attending an all-white elementary school in her native Louisiana. With sensitive, understanding and intelligent portrayals by its cast and a moving script, Euzhan Palcy's film enlightens viewers of the struggles this young girl had to face on a daily basis from the cruel prejudiced mob of ill-wishers shouting at her from the steps of her new school to the unwelcome reaction of her community, which challenged Bridges's entire family. Thanks to faith, a loving family, a supportive teacher and an insightful stress therapist, Bridges managed to triumph and educate the nation by bravely continuing to pursue her love of knowledge and help lead the world to look past the color of someone's skin.

Nikita Mikhalkov. A Sentimental Trip Home. Music of Russian Painting / Nikita Mikhalkov. Sentimentalnoe puteshestvie na rodinu. Muzyka russkoy zhivopisi / Сентиментальное путешествие Родину. Музыка русской живописи (1995) 3 x DVD9 RUSCICO

The author of this unique art project, Nikita Mikhalkov, presents to the viewers the works of his favorite 19th-century painters. We shall see a whole panorama of artistic trends and tastes of the period, learn about amazing life stories of the painters and their subjects, the history of creation of the masterpieces of Russian painting, and get a broad picture of Russian culture, particularly the culture of painting. Thanks to a deeply personal, involved presentation of the material, a lively, ingenuous intonation, the paintings of the talented Russian artists will come so close to us that we'll be able to hear "the music of Russian painting" and understand what perhaps was hidden due to our, sometimes superficial, momentary perception. And, as a result, get a gratifying sense of association with the unique heritage of our great country and the proud feeling of being part of its great people and history. This project is, undoubtedly, a momentous cultural and civic act, even a heroic endeavor of N. Mikhalkov, aimed at promoting the national self-consciousness.

The New Babylon / Novyy Vavilon / Новый Вавилон (1929) DVD5

The New Babylon is a Russian silent film, made in 1929, centred on the events related to the rise and brutal suppression of the 1871 Paris Commune.  As the Germanic Prussian army defeated the French army and advanced to conquer Paris, the rich in the city went on with their escapist lives without caring to protect the city. On the other hand, the working class of the city refused to capitulate and set up a Paris Commune to protect the city from the Prussian army. The Paris Commune achieved its primary aim of protecting the city but was in turn crushed by the French Government. Thousands of members of the Paris commune were killed by the French Government instead of being grateful to the brave hearts.
It was not strictly the commune's historical reality that inspired Kozintsev and Trauberg. It was the movement's symbolic re-invention of "The City of Light" — an attempt at the creation of a universal socialistic "Paris of the Mind" that the two Soviet artists found most intriguing.

Day by day, he sits in his small apartment and listens to the sad stories of his neighbors and strangers who desperately need money to keep going. He has no friends or family and spends his spare time having sex with prostitutes.

Le soldatesse / The Camp Followers (1965) DVD9

This almost Dreyer-like deeply poetic film about 'faces' is one of the most brilliant of the '60s and one of the most inexplicably neglected and forgotten.

At the center of the story is the armed transport of a fleet of women, prostitutes because of the poverty with which war has afflicted them, in order to service Italian soldiers in brothels in the 1940s during World War II. The action begins in Athens, Greece, and proceeds north. The truck ride is over treacherous mountain terrain, and the whole ordeal evolves into a metaphor for war. Meanwhile, the transport itself becomes embroiled in war's shell fire, killing some of the women and shattering the souls of the survivors.

Zurlini's film is also about the interaction amongst the three soldiers in charge of the transport and between them and (to begin with) the fifteen women. There are, in effect, two main characters, one from each group. Lieutenant Gaetano Martino is one protagonist; Eftichia, the most brooding and miserable of the prostitutes, the other.

Some of these are works by well-known artists from beyond the cinematic milieu - writer Stefan Themerson and his painter wife Franciszka, for example, the designer Andrzej Pawlowski, or the photographer Tomek Sikora. There are also works by leading Polish contemporary artists like Jozef Robakowski and Jerzy Kalina.

Aenigma (1987) DVD5

"Aenigma" opens with a prologue, in which a couple of eeevil students at a college for girls, plus their boyfriends, play a prank on a poor girl they bully. They dress her up and hook her up with a hunk, only to later make fun of her. The bullied girl runs off, is hit by a car and ends up brain dead in a hospital.

A couple of months later, and new student, Eva Gordon (the gorgeous Lara Lamberti from Lamberto Bava's "A Blade in the Dark") arrives to the school -- and things very soon become weird and horrifying. The students responsible for the accident end up dead in the most bizarre ways: they have visions of being killed in different, creative ways. A gym teacher's reflection in a mirror comes out and strangles him, a sculpture comes alive and kills a girl, and so on. The causes of death seem natural, there's no evidence of violence, it seems like the gym teacher had a heart attack.

A Perfect Fake (2005) DVD5

The fantasy of creating life is as old as civilization. Myths and stories abound that speak to man's desire to bring life to inanimate matter. Ovid, in the Metamorphosis, tells of the sculptor Pygmalion, a man who fell in love with his statue, the 'ivory virgin' Galatea.

A PERFECT FAKE is a 60-minute film that looks at the persistence of this myth in the modern world. The film takes us into the world of men who have chosen to reject the reality of human sexual companionship in order to pursue emotional and physical relationships with a variety of erotic surrogates and simulations. The film looks at the emerging market for 'hyper-realistic' simulations of real women, through the lens of the emerging new world of computer-generated virtual pornography and erotica. The film also takes the viewer into the strange and disturbing world of men who have chosen to share their lives with life-size female 'love dolls'. These dolls are companions, confidants and sexual partners, and to the men who own and love them, each 'girl' is as unique as a snowflake.

Warner, Margot Stevenson, Jimmy Conlin. Some of the characters (and actors) travel through different movies - District Attorney Markham, Coroner Dr. Doremus, Detective Ernest Heath.

Four Jills in a Jeep (1944) DVD9

The film is a fantasy version of the real-life adventures of Kay Francis, Carole Landis, Martha Raye, and Mitzi Mayfair, who served together as the first all-female volunteer troupe for the USO. Here, the four stars play themselves, more or less, as they travel from the States to England to the frontlines of Africa, meeting up with famous guest stars, falling in love with soldiers (just as depicted here, Landis really did marry an officer she met on the tour), and even helping out as nurses when necessary.

Fans of WWII-era showbiz will get a kick out of seeing filmed reenactments of "Command Performance" radio programs, which were produced to entertain the troops with their string of guest stars, musical numbers, and comedy skits.

James A. Fitzpatrick Traveltalks Shorts Volume 3 (1940-1953) 3 x DVD9

The third and final volume of these incredible travel shorts explores pre-war New Orleans, post-war West Germany, and everywhere in between. Discover the world at that particularly catastrophic moment in history, and the effects it had all over the globe.

The three disc set literally goes all over the map, even from film-to-film. If you sit down to watch several shorts in one sitting, you can go from Brazil and New Zealand to the Andes and the Taj Mahal within an hour. In a world where jet set travel had not yet reached its peak, and focus was on World War II and postwar recovery, seeing places like these before the nightly matinee must have been stunning.
Today the films still impress, though more for the efficient time capsule they provide. The Traveltalks recall life at a slower pace. There are fewer cars and people, and you can even see that the cities have cleaner, clearer air. Overviews of big cities like Chicago and New York are juxtaposed with scenic shots of National Parks and natural wonders, the urban spots in particular almost appearing to be from another world because of the distance of time.
