This cinematic portrait shows the Austrian filmmaker Ulrich Seidl at work. The much-discussed ‘Seidl method’ is conveyed here vividly and directly: The camera watches over Seidl’s shoulder during the filming of his new production IM KELLER, and observes him at the rehearsals for his latest theatre production ‘Böse Buben / Fiese Männer’. The film paints the picture of a fascinating and exceptional artist using a combination of extensive interviews and excerpts from earlier works.

De todo el cine rodado en España desde 1896 a 1930 --periodo que supone la tercera parte de la historia de nuestra cinematografía-- apenas se conserva una décima parte. El resto son IMAGENES PERDIDAS. A lo largo de los años, el desinterés oficial, la desidia de la propia industria del cine, y el deterioro de los soportes de nitrato (cuyas reacciones químicas destruyen irreversiblemente la imagen) han causado la destrucción de la mayor parte del patrimonio de más de tres décadas de cine.

A fascinating hybrid of performance and video verité, The Continuing Story of Carel and Ferd introduces Carel and Ferd, a couple who allowed Ginsberg to produce an ongoing documentary record of the intimate moments of their relationship. Carel, a porn actress, and Ferd, a drug addict, invite the camera to participate in their wedding, their sex life, and their break-up. Produced before the landmark PBS documentary An American Family introduced television audiences to the live-in camera — and many decades before the ubiquity of reality television — this document raises questions about the relationship between subject and camera, privacy and manipulation. Originally presented as an installation, this one-hour version, which includes interviews with Carel, Ferd and Ginsberg, was distilled from thirty hours of footage recorded from 1970 to 1975. - Electronic Arts Intermix
This is as slick a piece of campaign film as ever came out of Hollywood -- barring, of course, the anti-Upton Sinclair stuff turned out as newsreels in the 1930s during his campaign for governor of California. President Coolidge is presented as a simple man of the people who helps his cousin with the haying when he is in the neighborhood, works in the building he was born in and lives in the same house his father was born in: just another fellow like you and me. He runs the nation just about as well as we could.
High in the mountains of Macedonia a team of young film makers are making a documentary about Katerina Vandeva - a descendant of an ancient and very famous family. Several former state and party functionaries interfere in the filmmaking in the hopes of manipulating Katerina's confessions for their own purposes.

Hacedores de películas aptas para ningún tipo de público, los Gorevision son, en rigor, los mejores humanos sobre la faz de la Tierra. Se trata de una productora nacida para la leyenda: son cinco amigos que rodaron casi veinte películas; las más indignantes del cine nacional. Filman sin presupuesto y manejan un sistema de producción personal. Por caso, este documental es el ejercicio experimental donde un productor les da un presupuesto mayor que nulo para que filmen lo que se les antoje.
