CANADA'S

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

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

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

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

ADVERTISING AND

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

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

complex series of offerings to the hearth,
the ants, the river, and the deceased.
Silvestre Pantaleon then struggles to pull
together the money needed to pay for the
curing ceremony and provide for his family,
dedicating himself to the only
remunerative activities he knows:
handcrafting rope (made from the maguey
plant) for religious ceremonies, and
making seldom-used household objects
that he alone still has the skills to produce.
SILVESTRE PANTALEON -the result of a
collaboration between an anthropologist
who lives Oapan and a filmmaker
dedicated to working in indigenous
communities-unfolds with no interviews or
narration. Rather, scenes from daily life
are woven together in rich ethnographic
detail and lingering imagery that explore a
rural community situated in the shadow of
a highway bridge to the international resort
of Acapulco. Over this bridge pass
thousands of tourists, oblivious to the
village life just below yet worlds apart.

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

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

CHASING CHASING WATER WATER

Directed by Pete McBride
Breathtaking photography tells the story of
the Colorado River, which flowed to the
sea for 6 million years and now dries up 90
miles short of the Sea of Cortez.
After spending a decade working abroad
as a photojournalist, Colorado native Pete

closer to his home and his heart: the
Colorado River which cuts through his

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

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

Mario Molina, Bruce Niles, Michael
Oppenheimer, Shari Road, William Reilly,

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

thought they were the only family on the
Navajo Reservation who had children with

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

Johansen, Professor, Native

� "Sun Kissed is a quiet, insistent look
at some of the lasting effects of the
Long Walk. It examines both the
unknown and the unknowable along
with the well known and the ignored.
This is a film that should be examined
along the wide arc of Native issues in
contemporary America." - Theodore

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

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

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

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

Unique modern artist Alexander Calder
(1898-1976) revolutionized the art of

freeing sculpture from its stand and adding
movement to the art itself.
He rose to fame in the 1930s with his
renowned Miniature Circus, but his
modernist creativity skyrocketed with his
wire sculptures, an invention he dubbed
"drawing in space".
Contemporary and friend with Duchamp,
Miro, and Mondrian, who have greatly

tinkerer, too often limited to his Mobiles,

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

In 1575, a foreigner came to live within the
walls of Toledo, the spiritual center of
Spain. He came from Greece, from the
island of Crete: His name was Kyriakos
Theotocopoulos. The people of Toledo
called him El Greco, the Greek. At the
court of the Spanish King El Greco had
had no success, but the high dignitaries of
Toledo, the bastion of Spanish Catholicism,
liked his paintings with their sombre,
passionate religiousness.
Influenced by the icon painting in his home
country and by his years in Venice as a
pupil of Titian, El Greco developed his
unmistakable, expressive style: the
elongated figures in his pictures, painted
in flickering forms and lines and the
dramatic character of his landscapes
became his hallmark.
This informative and entertaining
documentary was filmed in the Prado
Museum and in the churches and cloisters
of Toledo where El Greco offset the
blazing, summery light with dark, cool
colors.
This unique program presents these
contrasts in impressive shots and draws a
new picture of this artist, whose baffling
modernity has still not lost any of its
fascination.

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

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

and he was a man driven to titanic works.
He aspired constantly to achieve the
seemingly impossible, and this he did with
unimaginable perseverance.
With each work he opened up new worlds
of artistic expression: in the frescos of the
Sistine chapel, as in the design of the
magnificent dome of St. Peter?s Basilica.
At the Roman Capitol he created the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Haiti has a complex history, beginning with
the brave revolution that booted out
slavery to make the country the world's

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

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

It would be five years after his death
before Carmen returned to the Paris stage
to rapturous reviews. We travel to Paris

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

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

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

The greatest composer of the 20th century

Nine days of the ocean voyage from

chapters of this documentary film about
Dmitry Shostakovich.
Unique, highly personal fragments of the

The film reveals the personality of the
quiet, retiring man who disliked publicity
but was obliged to serve as a Soviet public
figure; a genius faced with the choice
between artistic freedom and harsh
ideology, between truth and survival.
Shostakovich's music, full of dark sarcasm
and breathtaking lyricism, exaggerated joy
and frightening celebration, plays the
leading part in the film.

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

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

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

Together with a high-calibre film team,
director Thomas Grube accompanied the
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and Sir
Simon Rattle on their concert tour through
Asia – in six pulsing metropolises, with
their tremendous oppositional forces of
thousand-year-old traditions and
breathless hypermodernity.
This clash of Western traditions and Far
Eastern philosophy, of present-day Europe
and Asia, becomes a journey into the
mysterious and tension-ridden inner
workings of one of the world's best
orchestras, and into the emotional
universes of its very different musician
personalities.
Trip To Asia tells of the constant battle
between the ego and the community, of
the ancient and yet always renewed
search for harmony – within oneself and
with others.
A unique artistic and human adventure of
melancholy and enthusiasm, of loneliness
and longing for love.
A universal parable for life that combines
fascinating images of the conflicts
between the individual and the group with
an intoxicating sound quality in one
breathtaking cinematic event.
A moving film on art – the art of harmony,

The documentary of record on the

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

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

from all walks of life: the Arabic foreman
(Nicholas Viselli), an Italian sleaze-ball
(Tony Darrow), a gay gossip columnist
(Mo Mandel), a transvestite (Frank
Anthony Polito), a country music singer
(Brandon Kinney), a 9/11 rescue worker
(Rolando Millet), a self-hating Jew (Marty
McDonough), a psychologist (Paul
Borghese), a feminist (Pamela Sabaugh),
a model (Stacey Sipowicz), a teacher
(Mike Newman), and of course, Jackie
Mason.
On trial for murdering a decorated police
veteran is Yusef (Justin P. Nardecchia), an
Arabic teenager. The judge (Mark Levin)
instructs the jury not to hurry their decision
and also not to be harassed by Jackie.
The jury is ushered into their deliberating
room by the Bailiff (Dick Capri) where they
begin their process.
Inside the jury room Jackie creates utter
chaos and takes it upon himself to
convince the otherwise "not guilty" leaning
jury that Yusef is guilty. The characters
share stories with one another about their
lives and experiences, tempers flare,
emotions run rampant, and Jackie realizes
he may have made a mistake. Jackie,
being soft-hearted as he is, takes
responsibility and tries re-convincing
everyone that Yusef is innocent. This is a
must-see DVD for all comedy lovers and
Jackie Mason fans.

The show is structured in the tried and true

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

NEWS CORP is a global media empire

he wielded huge power over society and
politicians. But his papers have been
criticised for promoting racism and

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

environment, of our health and the way
they treat the people who work for them?
PRIMARK
Primark is one of the most well known
shops on our high streets. They sell cheap,
fast fashion at low prices. But what does
this mean for the people in poor countries
who make the clothes? The pressure to be
fast and cheap means low wages,
overtime and even, it's been alleged, child
labour. But, following protests and
controversy, the company now claims it's
cleaning up its act and taking ethics
seriously.
PFIZER
Big drug companies like Pfizer make
products essential for the health of the
world – and huge profits. But how ethical is
their approach to business? The film tells
stories of doctors being bribed, botched
drug trials in developing world countries
and the over-pricing of drugs people badly
need but can't afford to buy.
ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND
Since it almost went bust in 2008 the
Royal Bank of Scotland has been mostly
owned by the British government. But we
have no say in the projects it finances.
Many of these are environmentally
controversial. They involve large scale
fossil fuel operations, including get coal by
mountaintop removal and drilling for oil in
the Canadian tar sands. RBS has met

This documentary, made with the
complicity of Maurice Bejart, reveals the
first 30 years of his life which were totally
unknown: his happy childhood in Marseille,
the painful loss of his mother, his classic
training at the hard Russian school, his
father's death, the philosopher Gaston
Berger, the debuts in Birgit Cullberg's
Swedish company.
All these events marked the dancer, the
choreographer, the artist, the thinker, and
they throw a new light on his work. It is the
genius of Bejart under all it's forms that is
shown in this film which proposes a global
vision of this already legendary figure of

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

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

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

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

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

The film focuses on Ni Ketut Kasih who
has lived her whole life surrounded by the

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

Out in the Silence examines gay rights
and issues. The announcement of
filmmaker Joe Wilson's wedding to

left behind long ago. Drawn back by a plea
for help from the mother of a gay teen

America. Filmmakers will be in the WPSU

"Out in the Silence" debuts on WPSU-TV

station's fall pledge drive. Portions of the
documentary as well as other outreach
materials are available online at

journey through conservative small town
America as the filmmaker becomes
immersed in the battle over gay visibility
and equality that unfolds in his hometown
in Venango County, Pa. over a three year
period. With camera in hand, Wilson
engages with traditional-values activists,
conservative politicians, school authorities
and everyday local folks. He follows the
trials and tribulations of a grassroots effort
to promote diversity and tolerance in the
area and forms an unlikely and

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

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

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

artists and political activists are returning
to Marx's ideas in order to try to make
sense of the crisis and to consider whether
a world without or beyond capitalism is
possible. Is the severity of the ongoing
recession a sign that the capitalist
system's days are numbered? Ironically,
20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall,
could it be that communism might provide
the solution to the growing economic and
environmental challenges facing the
planet?
Written and directed by Jason Barker –
himself an experienced writer, lecturer,
translator and doctor of philosophy –
MARX RELOADED includes interviews
with leading thinkers on Marxism,
including those at the forefront of a
popular revival in Marxist and communist
ideas. The film also includes interviews
with leading skeptics of this revival as well
as light-hearted animation sequences
which follow Marx's adventures through
the matrix of his own ideas.
Interviews with leading experts include:
Norbert Bolz, Micha Brumlik, John Gray,
Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri, Nina Power,
Jacques Ranciere, Peter Sloterdijk,
Alberto Toscano, and Slavoj Zizek.

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

"Of all the illegal and illicit enterprises in

safest and most profitable. It's a criminal's
dream..." - from the DVD
Financial elder abuse can happen to
anyone...anywhere...anytime. These facts
lay the groundwork for this riveting film as
it exposes the global problem of financial
elder abuse and its growing impact on a
rapidly-aging population. It identifies why
many older adults become vulnerable,
tactics perpetrators use to gain trust, and
what families and professionals can do to
help protect loved ones and older adults in
their care from financial abuse.
It also documents two hard-to-forget
stories of exploitation:
� Producer Pamela S. K. Glasner
shares how her parents' life savings
were embezzled by a man who
insinuated himself into their lives, and
her attempts to set things right.
� Hollywood icon, Mickey Rooney, tells
how he lost millions of dollars through

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

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

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

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

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

to the needs of expanding cities will have
a huge impact on their livability. Food, land
use, housing, energy, waste — how we
tackle these issues will determine whether
our cities evolve, or whether they decline.
In a new instalment of SUZUKI DIARIES,
David and his daughter Sarika set out to
discover whether some of Canada's
biggest cities are ready for the challenges
of the future.

With Brad Smith
� Why leadership is the questions you
ask, not the answers you give.
� A continuous improvement strategy
for a rapidly changing world.
� How to inspire action by organizing
for failure.
When Brad Smith took over as CEO, Intuit
founder Scott Cook advised him to
"Question everything." Using this as his
mantra, Smith set out to create innovative
business structures that built on Intuit's
strengths and retained market dominance
in spite of an explosion in social media,
unforeseen technology shifts, and radical
changes in consumer expectations. In this
highly informative presentation, Smith
shares secrets that have led to
revolutionary new products, sky-high
productivity, and a ranking on Fortune's
100 Best Companies to Work For.
Smith describes how to articulate a vision
so simple and clear that teams are aligned
and motivated without the leader having to
do anything but get out of the way. He
details specific techniques for building a
culture where innovation thrives and the
next best thing could come from anywhere
in the company. And he explains how Intuit
selects the right people, projects and
metrics for prospering in the present while
at the same time preparing for an
unknown future.

APPLE has amazing products, but they're

NEWS CORP is a global media empire
with famous brands like the Sun and Fox
News. Founder Rupert Murdoch was once
praised for taking on the print unions and
he wielded huge power over society and
politicians. But his papers have been
criticised for promoting racism and
homophobia. Now the hacking scandal
has shaken his empire to the core. Is there
an alternative to big companies controlling

GOOGLE: Launched in a dorm room by

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

benefits the arms industry comes from the
public purse, too. Some say the money
would be better spent on other areas, such
as green technology. BAE has also been
accused of being too close to the UK
government, with former civil servants and
ex-ministers regularly coming to work for
them: the "revolving door syndrome".
BAE's supporters say we need an arms
industry to defend ourselves. Critics say
making arms is immoral.

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

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

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

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

The adoption of new digital technology is
so rapid that a uniform and proactive
concept of responsible use is often
overlooked. With these constant changes,
the irresponsible, and often dangerous
and malicious use of these digital devices
can lead to negative, life-altering
consequences.
In the digital world your actions are "public
and permanent." The program provides
digital users with the information they need
to make good digital decisions. Awareness
greatly reduces the risk of becoming a
victim of a cyber-crime or digital
exploitation.
This Program also aims to inform students
in the importance of being aware of their
digital behaviors. In addition, it provides
tools, tips, and comprehensive curriculum
to increase everyone's digital awareness
and consciousness. After viewing this
program and completing activities
students will learn to:
� Avoid becoming a statistic of any
digital issue
� Realize the power of Public and
Permanent
� Become a responsible Digital Citizen
for today and tomorrow
� Understand the cause and effect of
using any digital device irresponsibly.

NAMES
You're stupid! You're a baby! As we all
know, name-calling is one of many
inappropriate ways that children express
themselves when they're feeling angry or
frustrated. To the child on the receiving
end of name-calling it can be a painful
experience. This program focuses on the
reasons for name-calling and how it
affects others. Viewers also learn how to
be more assertive so they can stop others
from calling them names. Children who
don't have an available repertoire of social
and coping skills can easily turn to
violence, anger or self-harm when they
face an upsetting or vulnerable situation.
Conversely, when we help kids learn and
develop positive social and coping skills,
we provide them with alternatives that can
help turn problem situations into positive
outcomes. Get-Along-Monsters is an
entertaining and engaging children's DVD
series designed to teach children, grades
K-4 important skills necessary for
successful social interaction and
emotional management. Each episode

mistakes such as silly mistakes, mistakes
that take time to fix, and mistakes that
can't be fixed. In this program kids learn
that mistakes are just a part of everyone's

we make that really matters. This program,
promotes the fact that mistakes happen
and that a mistake can be a learning

It has been shown that children who are
taught refusal skills are more likely to
make positive choices and refrain from
engaging in high-risk behaviors. It's
important to help children set limits for
themselves and say "no" to outside
pressures. This increases their
self-confidence. When children learn to
stop and consider the consequences
before responding to a request, as well as
a variety of ways to say "no," they become
more accomplished at refusing to
participate in anything that could harm
themselves or others. In this program,
several simple refusal techniques are
modeled and demonstrated.

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

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

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

Obesity in Canada has doubled in less

Canadians are now either overweight or
obese. A small group of scientists have
begun looking beyond the obvious
because of a group that can't chew, let

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

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

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

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

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

1940
This TV drama tells the story of the final
days of the fall of France to the Nazi's in
June 1940.
Chaos and violence had taken over the
towns and villages and the French army
had been defeated by the Nazi troops.
It shows how De Gaulle supported by
Churchill urged the French population to
resist through a radio broadcast from
London.
What pressures were imposed upon De
Gaulle?
What did he negotiate with the English?
What did he commit to?
What happened during those hours which
ended up transforming De Gaulle into the
legendary figure we know today?
This powerful made for television film
re-creates all of the drama that
surrounded that climactic moment in June
1940 when De Gaulle and Churchill stood
together during the darkest days of World
War II to confront the Nazi threat and

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

in some of the most unspoiled and
picturesque places of that beautiful isle,
are surrounded by tales of danger,
heroism, romance, and mystery.
The lighthouses whose stories are told

which was called The Teardrop of Ireland
because during the days of emigration for
many it would be their last sight of Ireland;
the MAIDENS, a pair of lighthouses, home
to a Romeo and Juliet style love story; the

courageous determination to preserve the
Union.
Gary Saderup is magnificent as Lincoln
and delivers a memorable performance

Delphi was once regarded as the center of

Anyone who could afford it sought the

The film describes the faith of the Ancient

Florence is regarded as the focal point, the

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

As with many of the pre-Spanish

there are more questions than answers

From village communities, at around 200
BC, there developed an urban civilization
in the highlands of Mexico. Over the
centuries it produced huge, precisely
constructed pyramids for cultic purposes.
In the 8th century AD Teotihuacan suffered
a catastrophic collapse. At its zenith this
now legendary ruined city extended over
20 square kilometers and was thus larger
than Imperial Rome.
Nobody knows what language its
inhabitants spoke, or what people they
belonged to. No writing has been found,
nor has the name of any ruler.
The film follows the traces of a forgotten
society and contrasts them with the
surviving Indian traditions of present-day
Mexico.

It was to be a bulwark of the faith, a

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

The city on the Yellow River with its
surroundings is one of the birthplaces of
Chinese culture and civilization.
North-east of Xi'an, in 1974, the clay army
of the first Chinese emperor, with its
thousands of warriors, was discovered.
Here, too, his huge burial mound, still
unopened, is situated. And it was here that,
by uniting the country for the first time,
Emperor Qin Shihuangdi founded the
series of Chinese imperial dynasties which
extends up to the present day.
Xi'an, Chang'an was the capital city of the
Tang dynasty and the starting point of the
Silk Road, which led to the Mediterranean.
It was here that merchants and artists from
all over the world met, here there emerged
an exceptionally vibrant, festive culture, in
which women enjoyed equal status and
took part in all activities of social and
cultural life.
The film shows the excavation site of the
clay army, in detail which was hitherto

culture, shows the treasures in the
museums and, in a performance of the
Tang theatre, it also shows the magnificent,
colorful dancing and music of this time. It

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

HUMAN RIGHTS
900 900 DAYS
DAYS
Directed by Jessica Gorter
Is it better to acknowledge an unpalatable
truth or to embrace the comfort of myth?
Jessica Gorter's 900 DAYS contrasts the
devastating and unforgettable stories
recounted by survivors of the Siege of
Leningrad, the infamous German
blockade, which caused the deaths of
more than 1 million people during World
War II, with the triumphant memorials
fabricated by the Russian state.
The blockade, one of the most incredible,
defining events of World War II, remains
largely unremembered outside of Russia.
In September 1941, the 3 million
inhabitants of the city now known as St.
Petersburg were trapped without food or
drinking water. For 900 days of subzero
temperatures, people had to eat glue,
leather soles, cats, and perhaps even their
fellow human beings. When the city finally
opened up again, nearly a million had
died.
Immediately after the war, investigations of
the blockade were forbidden. The Soviet
propaganda machine transformed the
survivors into a symbol of national heroism,
silencing any questions about Stalin's war
policy and its toll on the lives of ordinary
Russians.
In 900 DAYS, Gorter employs newly
declassified material from the Secret
Service archives that reveals, in coldly
impersonal statistics, the extent of
cannibalism in the blockaded city and the
population's fury with their own authorities.
Footage of present-day Russian
memorials to the survivors of the siege
illustrate the persistence of the official,
heroic account of the event even in light of
this new information.
Elsewhere in the film, survivors speak
openly, many for the first time in their lives,
about their experiences and the post-war
censorship. Their painful memories
overshadow the public myth in which
some of them had previously participated.
All their lives they have been told they
were heroes who guided the country
toward victory, but they are increasingly
aware that true recognition of their
traumatic experience and the ruinous
policies that allowed it to continue is still,
even after half a century, far away.

contradiction between the oficial
version of a heroic populace
persevering for the Motherland,
and the private bitterness of a
people disgusted by the way the
Soviets and their heirs avoid
questions of responsibility.
Beautifully integrates past and
present...900 DAYS shows that
even grasping the horrors on an
individual level is ultimately a task
few are capable of
comprehending." - Jay Weissberg,
Variety
���� "These stories are not for the faint
of heart. But the documentary will
help students to understand the
difference between memory and
history, and between the heroic
stories states often tell about wars
and the suppression of the real
events that did not fit their
narratives. As such, this is an ideal
documentary to show in any
history class dealing with World
War II or Soviet history." -

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

project, designed by three young artists,
Ricardo Porro, Vittorio Garatti, and
Roberto Gottardi, in the wake of Castro's
Revolution, is neglected, nearly forgotten,
then ultimately rediscovered as a visionary

golf course in Havana, Cuba. Construction
of their radical designs began immediately
and the school's first classes soon
followed. Dancers, musicians and artists
from all over the country reveled in the
beauty of the schools, but as the dream of
the Revolution quickly became a reality,
construction was abruptly halted and the
architects and their designs were deemed
irrelevant in the prevailing political climate.
Forty years later the schools are in use,

Castro has invited the exiled architects

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

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

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

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

LABOR AND WORK

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

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

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

TINIEST TINIEST TINIEST PLACE, PLACE, THE

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

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

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

PART
2
Hotspur is dead and Prince Hal has
proved his mettle on the battlefield, but
King Henry IV lies dying and the rebels
show no sign of surrendering.
Even Sir John Falstaff is forced out of the
taverns to raise a militia, but will his
attachment to Hal be rewarded with
promotion and the life of ease he feels
sure he deserves?
Henry IV Part 2 includes some of the
greatest moments in Shakespeare: the
deathbed scene of the old King, when Hal
contemplates the crown; and Hal's
devastating rejection of Falstaff himself.
Roger Allam ('a Falstaff to treasure' -The
Times) won the 2011 Best Actor Olivier
Award for his performance in Henry IV
Parts 1 and 2.
'Jamie Parker (Prince Hal) is terrific to
watch' (London Evening Standard); he
appeared in As You Like It at the Globe in
2009, and was also in The History Boys at
the National Theatre, on Broadway and on
film.

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

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

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

REPRODUCTION
All forms of life - from simple to complex -
share an ability and instinct to reproduce.
Reproduction occurs either sexually
through an exchange of genetic material
between two organisms, or asexually
where organisms replicate offspring with
an identical genetic makeup to their parent.
This program looks at sexual and asexual
reproduction, starting at the cellular level,
with clear explanations of meiosis and
mitosis. The various benefits and
disadvantages of both types of
reproduction are examined, as well as
exploring the biological processes of
flowering plants and animals.

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

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

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

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

EVALUATION
The nurse implements the nursing care
plan, performing the determined
interventions that were selected to help
meet the goals/outcomes that were
established. Delegated tasks and the
monitoring of them is included here as well.
The nurse evaluates the progress toward
the goals/outcomes identified in the
previous phases. If progress towards the
goal is slow, or if regression has occurred,
the nurse must change the plan of care
accordingly. Conversely, if the goal has
been achieved then the care can cease.
New problems may be identified at this
stage, and thus the process will start all
over again. This video lecture explains
how implementing relates to other phases
of the nursing process and describes three
categories of skills used to implement
nursing interventions. The five activities of
the implementing phase and guidelines for
implementing nursing interventions are
discussed followed by evaluation
components, and steps involved in

An opera buffa, a comedy, a masterpiece
of intrigues, lies and love! 'Il Barbiere di
Siviglia' (The Barber of Seville), an opera
in two acts by Gioachino Rossini, from the
Teatro Regio di Parma.
The production stars Dmitry Korchak as Il
Conte d'Almaviva, Ketevan Kemoklidze as
Rosina, Luca Salsi as Figaro and Giovanni
Furlanetto as Don Basilio.
The aging Doctor Bartolo longs to marry
Rosina, his beautiful and wealthy aid of
the energetic and enterprising barber
Figaro, the Count succeeds in gaining
entry to Bartolo's house disguised first as
a soldier then as a music teacher.
When Bartolo becomes suspicious, he
quickly summons the notary to set the seal
on his marriage to Rosina. But Figaro and
Almaviva are already one step ahead and
the marriage contract is signed by the
Count, who at last reveals his true identity.
Bartolo receives generous compensation,
however: the Count waives the dowry that
Bartolo ought otherwise to have paid as
Rosina's guardian – although he is made
to share the sum with Figaro.
All's well that ends well? We catch up on
the couple's subsequent marriage
problems in the second part of
Beaumarchais' Figaro trilogy, La folle

Conductor Marc Albrecht supports the two

and Michael Volle's Dr. Schon, with the

Particularly impressive are the gigantic
backdrops that dominate the stage and
were painted by Daniel Richter, one of the

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

of the chorus members who depict souls,
demons and other creatures in his
production.
His staging is fundamentally inspired by
sacred medieval iconography and the
depiction of mythical animals found in
Romanesque and Gothic churches.
Combined with visually stunning effects,
expert lighting and large video projections,
the production grabs the viewer from the
start and doesn't let go.
What makes or breaks Gluck's opera is
the role of Orfeo. Since Gluck's original
Italian version is performed here, the role
of Orfeo is performed by a mezzo, Anita
Rachvelishvili of Georgia, a singer who
unfailingly commands the stage with her
infinite range of expressions both vocal
and dramatic.
Maite Alberola's Euridice and Auxiliadora
Toledano's Amor blend their voices
perfectly with that of Rachvelishvili.

This production of Tosca filmed at the

Sgura as Baron Scarpia.
Such a combination of gentleman and
scoundrel in one person is a perfect
candidate to make "all Rome tremble

Tosca is a classic example of Puccini's
three-person dramatic structure – a tragic
pair of lovers juxtaposed with an
interfering baritone!
But these traditional roles are portrayed
here in a much more realistic and psycho-
logically accurate manner than usual.
In vocal and dramatic terms however, the
main attraction remains the title figure –
and the reason why the work, became the
archetypal prima donna opera.

Why do we need creativity? The world is

critical component of true innovation.
Dr. Seelig's model for the "Innovation

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

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

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

Individualized education plans (IEP's) are

However, in most school systems sex
education is infrequently addressed. It is
often taboo. Most of the time it is not
specifically mentioned as an instructional
or related service.
In this program viewers will learn the
reasons why sex in an IEP is so important
for the health and safety of not only the
special education student, but those in his
or her educational community as well.
The program will also explore the legal
ramifications of not dealing with this
sensitive issue. Designed for educators
and parents, "Sex in the IEP" promotes
concepts and ideas that will help the
educational team, parents and

This DVD, intended for general audiences
and policymakers, discusses the origins
and findings of the largest-scale study to
date of the incidence and effects of
childhood trauma, known as the Adverse
Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study.
According to data collected from the over
17,000 Kaiser patients in this ongoing
retrospective and prospective study,
adverse childhood experiences, though
well concealed, are unexpectedly common,
have a profound negative effect on adult
health and well-being a half century later,
and are a prime determinant of adult
health status in the United States.

Conditioned response learning forms are
represented in three examples: 1) leg

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

While this country spends large amounts

suffered. As a result, many survivors

assessment tools and therapeutic
approaches that they have found most
useful in working the severely traumatized
in children. The clinician's role in such
cases often includes working with parents
or guardians as well as children, and can
extend far beyond the therapy room to
encompass psychoeducation and
advocacy. Before they can be treated,
abused children need to be identified. The

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

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

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

Clients in the process of recovery from
childhood abuse go through a necessary

identify with their clients' suffering, pain
and loss, but find it much more difficult to
deal with their feelings of rage and the
desire for revenge. Yet expressing these
affects is an important part of healing. In
this video, therapist David Calof uses a
model therapy session to demonstrate a
"rage dump" process, which allows safe
and complete expression of the rageful
affects surrounding early trauma and loss.
He also discusses contracting for limits
and safety procedures, hypnotic

Some alters in DID systems may identify
with the perpetrators of their abuse,
becoming hostile or self-injuring.
Understandably, therapists tend to work
with the more gratifying, compliant, and
attractive alters, instead of those who are
rageful and obstinate. Yet these hostile
alters were often the most hurt and
betrayed, and are the most in need of
healing. In this video, David Calof
addresses their special needs and
demonstrates techniques for working with
them, including establishing a therapeutic
alliance, getting consensus from the
system, and a distressed child alter.

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

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

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

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

This overview of Confucius' biography and

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

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

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

that nurtured them.
In the current age of wars and turmoil, this
is a relevant and uplifting story of lasting
traditions that are meaningful in the
modern world with values that potentially
can inspire us and help us transcend our
global challenges.

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

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

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

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

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

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

explore the possibilities of regenerative
medicine in humans. Computer-generated
images can present an idea of what would
happen if the human body possessed
regenerative capabilities similar to those of
certain animals. An arm grows back after
amputation; a foot regenerates in just a

a decapitated body. Currently human
embryo research is forbidden, but
alternative research on animal stem cells
is showing that it just may be possible to
adapt the miracle of re-growth to humans.

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

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

CONSPIRACY CONSPIRACY CONSPIRACY RISI RISING RISI RISING

Conspiracy theories are everywhere but
how and why do we believe them?
Belief in conspiracy pervades our modern
culture and proliferates in cyberspace with
thousands of sites dedicated to theories
behind the deaths of John F. Kennedy and
Princess Diana, UFOs, Area 51 and 9/11.
CONSPIRACY RISING uses the latest
science and psychology to investigate the
causes of conspiracy theories, why we are
wired to believe them, and how as a
society it is imperative that we separate
the fantasies from the real threats. It
examines the ways that fearful people find
comfort in the order and explanations that
conspiracy theories provide.
Combining remarkable, iconic archival
footage, visits to the sites behind the most
notorious conspiracy theories, and
interviews with both leading conspiracy
theorists and scientific experts,
CONSPIRACY RISING will introduce the
audience to fascinating material,
outlandish claims and supposed "truths"
that have been hidden for decades. All the
while it questions why we choose to
believe… or not.

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

Beginning with Greek lyric poet Simonides
of Ceos' invention of the 'memory palace' -
in which memories are arranged in an
imagined physical space - the film
suggests that the recent flurry of
credit-fueled property development has
depleted not only national treasuries, but
the distinctive characters of these nation's
cities -- and therefore, their cultural
memory as well.
FUTURES MARKETS takes us inside the
fluorescent-lit showrooms of real estate
expos, where developers hawk shares in
hotel and condo projects in places from
Dubai to Miami. Outside, cars crawl
forward on endless stretches of
anonymous highway whose "straight lines
point in the direction of promises." This is
Spain, but it could be almost anywhere in
the world.
"The art of memory was practiced by
philosophers, poets, and architects", a
narrator tells us. In the film we see the art
of forgetting is practiced by the real estate
developers, as well as business school
gurus - who pledge the keys to success in
the same convention centers. Meanwhile,
investment bankers bark orders into
multiple phones, trading futures in their
non-descript offices. All peddle the same
dream: a tidy and prosperous future in
identical spaces the world over.
To make room for these new dreams,
history must be evacuated. FUTURES
MARKET meditates on great art works
from the past by painters like Bosch,
Michelangelo, Mantegna, and Raphael.
The grand philosophical and spiritual
visions represented in their paintings have
been replaced by the vulgar ones
embodied by the glass tower condos and
infinity pools in gleaming architectural
models.
A modest alternative is offered with the
introduction of Jesus Castro, a 92-year-old
junk dealer more interested in collecting

out an apartment in an old building slated
for demolition, bagging up the books,
furniture, and religious artifacts that
bespeak a particular cultural identity. They
turn up in the new repository of cultural
memory: not a palace, but Castro's flea
market. His stubborn refusal to bow to the
marketplace's demand to forget makes
him the hero of this film, which illustrates
how little most of us choose to remember.
Reviews
� "A compelling meditation on dreams
that doubles as an expose of how
cheap those dreams have become,
"Futures Market" is a wise and
fulfilling film that bears lofty
comparison with the work of Spanish
maestro helmers Victor Erice and
Jose Luis Guerin." - Variety
� "Draw[s] attention to the invisible
architects of the postmodern
economy at the moment before it
crashed, and...between what is
discarded and devalued and the
inflation of false values and dreams." -

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

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

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

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

Roy created two unique programs for the

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

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

about the pioneering community-building
project of the world-famous architect Frei

experimental, ecological, customized
housing project in the city center.
Including interviews with Frei Otto,
Christine Kanstinger-Otto, Hermann

Jean-Philippe Vassal, and other involved
architects, planners, and inhabitants, the
film shows the development and the
philosophy of the project, which was built
for the International Building Exhibition in
Berlin 1987 (IBA).
The "Ecohouse" project hosts a number of
experimental solutions to adaptable home
building and personalization. The film
explores the ideas that motivated the
project, its underlying sustainability
themes, and asks how these ambitions
were realized.
DREAMING OF A TREE HOUSE
ultimately asks: What can we learn from
the Okohaus? How can its design, building

PLANET
PLANET
Directed by Mark Kitchell
The documentary of record on the
environmental movement.
A FIERCE GREEN FIRE: The Battle For a
Living Planet is the first big-picture
exploration of the environmental
movement - grassroots and global
activism spanning fifty years from
conservation to climate change. From
halting dams in the Grand Canyon to
battling 20,000 tons of toxic waste at Love
Canal; from Greenpeace saving the
whales to Chico Mendes and the
rubbertappers saving the Amazon; from
climate change to the promise of
transforming our civilization... the film tells
vivid stories about people fighting - and
succeeding - against enormous odds.
The film is divided into five "acts".
Act 1 focuses on the conservation
movement of the `60s, David Brower and
the Sierra Club's battle to halt dams in the

The US Open began in 1881 as the U.S.
Championships, a relatively small event
held at The Casino in Newport, R.I. Today
it has grown into the biggest tennis
tournament in the world, with a long, rich
tradition of attracting the best players from
around the globe to perform on the world's
greatest stage: the USTA Billie Jean King
National Tennis Center in New York City.
As the last major of the calendar year, the
US Open annually brings down the curtain
on the Grand Slam season with some of
the most unforgettable matches in tennis
history. In 2011, it featured another
bruising battle between the best player of
2010 (Rafael Nadal) and the best player of
2011 (Novak Djokovic) competing in the
first repeat men's singles final since Ivan
Lendl and Mats Wilander in 1987-88 and
the first featuring the top two seeds since
Pete Sampras defeated Michael Chang in
1996.
A year earlier Nadal knocked off Djokovic
in four sets to win his first US Open
championship and complete the career
Grand Slam. But Djokovic had turned the
tables in 2011, defeating Nadal all five
times they played—all in finals. A victory
for Nadal, the reigning French Open
champion, would give him a split of the
year's four Grand Slam events and tie him
with Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver for fourth
all-time with 11 Grand Slam tournament
titles. A victory for Djokovic would give him
his first US Open title, make him just the
sixth man in the Open Era to win three
Grand Slam tournaments in a single
season and run his record on the year to
an incomparable 64-2.

Wimbledon 2011 is the definitive story of

Singles, the world number one Rafael
Nadal returned to SW19 to defend his title,
hot off the success of a sixth French Open
victory and determined to prevail ahead of

In the Women's Singles defending

to win her 14th Grand Slam crown, despite
having played sparingly since winning the
2010 title due to injury and illness.
Six-time champion Roger Federer, in
search of a record equaling 7th triumph,
crashed out at the quarter-final stage for
the second year in succession, beaten by
the twelfth seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of
France.

Serena Williams failed in her bid to defend
the women's title, losing out to Marion
Bartoli of France in the fourth round. Andy
Murray once again carried the hopes of
the home nation.
The Brit had his chances in his semi-final
against Rafael Nadal, but the Spaniard
ultimately proved too strong, winning 5-7,
6-2,6-2, 6-4. In the Ladies Final a first
Grand Slam title for Petra Kvitova saw her
emulate childhood hero and compatriot
Martina Navratilova; she became the first
Czech champion since Jana Novotna in
1998.
The powerful left-hander defeated former

6-3, 6-4. In the Men's Final defending
champion Rafael Nadal came up against
an inspired Novak Djokovic.
The Serb outclassed the Spaniard to
prevail 6-2, 6-3, l-6, 6-4. It was Djokovic's

wining 6-3, 6-4 in one hour 25 minutes.
Although Maria Sharapova's play fell well

As the last major of the calendar year, the

on the Grand Slam season with some of
the most unforgettable matches in tennis

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

After a short rain delay, Williams was
quickly back into her stride taking a 3-1

her form and the 23 year old broke back

Roger Federer and 2003 champion Andy

The two met in the Wimbledon final in

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

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

Prince Hal, son of King Henry IV, seems to

But beside these scenes of glorious

The first installment of Shakespeare's

idle barfly to monarch-in-waiting combines
compelling power politics with the hilarious

Examines the roles and duties of the
women in a typical extended family of
land-owning peasants in Gujarat, India.
Most village women have little choice but
to enter into arranged marriages that
restrict them to child bearing and domestic
work. However, the feelings of affection
developed from working and living
together, combined with the memories of
close family ties to distant kin provided by
dowry embroidery, offer the women an
opportunity for a tolerable and even joyous
life.

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

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

國際學者交流園地,為此特顠殊頻領域見倝證中國
婦女地位之變遷,開創新局侚,18 年來已累
積多篇精彩文獻。
胡適曾說:近代中國婦女地位的變遷,宛如
經過「一場不流血的絕大社會革靣命」,而這
場和平革靣命仍在持續進行中,其研究倏方法、
理論、議題也一直推陳出新:從婦女被壓抑俊
史,到婦女解放、獨立意識、婦運、文化及
兩性關係史,從單一學科到跨領域整合等。
本刊旨在使歷史學者拋開傳統意識形侫態、刻
板印象,修鞈正以男倇性為中心的思維,深入分
析歷史上婦女的各項問題:婦權追求俠、婦女
與家韑庭韨、婦女與性、婦女與勞動、婦女與教
育倘、婦女與戰爭、婦女與國家韑等,期由這些
新視角倞,重新反省中國婦女活動的歷史真
