Electric Blue 22 (1986)

Bruce Lee expert John Little tracks down the actual locations of some of Bruce Lee's most iconic action scenes. Many of these sites remain largely unchanged nearly half a century later. At monasteries, ice factories, and on urban streets, Little explores the real life settings of Lee's legendary career. This film builds on Little's earlier film, Pursuit of the Dragon, to present a comprehensive view of Lee's work that will change the way you see the films.

A young family leaves their home on Kauai. It is time to return to the itinerant path from which all things in their uncommon lives come; beginning and ending on a remote dot in the Pacific. They nomadically trace continents to places where waves meet their edges, envoys of aloha. It is what they will learn, what they bring others, what they will pass on to their children in the hyper-expanded classroom, the lab of direct being; a legacy passed from a father to his family.

Es la noche de Año Nuevo en Valparaíso. Todos los barcos y calles centrales están especialmente iluminados. Pero en los cerros que circundan el centro de la estrecha ciudad hay pobreza para sus habitantes. Ellos viven trasladándose en viejos ascensores o remitiéndose a subir y bajar interminables escaleras, transportando el agua. Mientras tanto, los ricos se divierten, ignorándolos. Se narra la historia de Valparaíso, "el valle del paraíso", lugar alguna vez dominado por conquistadores y piratas que también enfrenta a los elementos naturales: el mar, el sol, el viento y el fuego.

Es la adaptación de un monólogo teatral, también publicado en forma de libro, obra de Spalding Gray. Escritor, guionista, monologuista, actor de teatro y performance, Spalding Gray rememora en esta obra su experiencia como actor de reparto, en el papel de cónsul, en la película “Los gritos del silencio”; la perturbadora denuncia de la trágica y sangrienta historia contemporánea de Camboya. Spalding Gray tiene un gran currículo como actor de reparto en el cine y la televisión americana. Es sin embargo una peculiar figura de la escena teatral alternativa de Nueva York. Sus peripecias vitales también han dado como fruto monólogos filmados como en “Gray´s Anatomy”. En algo más de una hora, en “Nadando a Camboya”, tras un escritorio y con la ayuda de un mapa de Camboya y un proyector desgrana su experiencia y sus reflexiones de y sobre el sudeste asiático. Para la banda sonora contó con la colaboración de la cantautora y compositora Laurie Anderson.

In 1899, a photographer at American Mutoscope & Biograph mounted his camera on the front of a trolley traveling over the Brooklyn Bridge. The three 90-foot rolls he created were edited together to complete the journey from Manhattan to Brooklyn, entitled Across the Brooklyn Bridge. As a commission by the Museum of Modern Art for the re-opening of their facility, American avant-garde filmmaker Bill Morrison took this remarkable footage and recombined it with itself to form a new split-screen extrapolation.

Pilot JP Schulze and filmmaker Louis Cole set off to circumnavigate the world in a single-engine, 1974 Cessna T210L airplane named Balloo. They had 90 days to complete the journey, and as they traveled they met people from many different cultures and asked them - is what divides us greater than what brings us together?

Also known as Prince of Wales Island, Penang is a British colony located off the west coast of the Malay peninsula. As it is an island, many residents make their livelihood off the water, such as in fishing or port activities as it serves as both a vital link in the chain of British colonies and one of the major ports of entry into the Malay. Penang's major city and capital is George Town, with approximately 160,000 inhabitants, primarily Chinese, Malay or South Asian. The Chinese dominate life on the island, economically, culturally, and in sheer numbers. Because of the diverse racial mix, there are also an associated number of different religions, one which specifically worships the snake, the nocturnal and poisonous adder roaming freely through its temple at night. Also because of the diverse racial mix, there is also often a blending of cultures, such as in the cuisine of the island.

In 1971, author and film scholar Donald Richie published a poetic travelogue about his explorations of the islands of Japan’s Inland Sea, recording his search for traces of a traditional way of life as well as his own journey of self-discovery. Twenty years later, filmmaker Lucille Carra undertook a parallel trip inspired by Richie’s by-then-classic book, capturing images of hushed beauty and meeting people who still carried on the fading customs that Richie had observed. Interspersed with surprising detours—a visit to a Frank Sinatra–loving monk, a leper colony, an ersatz temple of plywood and plaster—and woven together by Richie’s narration as well as a score by celebrated composer Toru Takemitsu, The Inland Sea is an eye-opening voyage and a profound meditation on what it means to be a foreigner.

IN THE LAND OF GIANT PYGMIES, a diary of Aurelio Rossi's 1925 trek into the immense Belgian Congo, preserves a long-gone-Colonial-era wonder at natural resources, "primitive" tribes, customs and costumes in Europe's cast African possessions, and implies that the "dark continent" could benefit from the "civilizing" influences of home.
