Correlated with Susan Sontag's theorization of kitsch as well as employing the queer lingo of "camp," this film's relentless equal opportunity pop-art montage shattered the foundations of conventional cinema, making it a true document of the Shinjuku underground scene. Director Okabe himself appears recreating his favorite roles from Bonnie and Clyde to Spaghetti Westerns, as well as incorporating quotations by inserting stills of Godard, Kennedy’s assassination and the Vietnam War.
The League of Gentlemen Are Behind You! is a pantomime-themed stage show by The League of Gentlemen. The whimsical, pantomime nature of the show was a departure from their trademark dark humour. This performance was filmed at the Hammersmith Apollo.

Lakis Lazopoulos climbs on the roof following the course of the breakdown of the average Greek. A house is sinking, the river has overflowed, no one will stay. The river carries them all away. On the roof, Lakis Lazopoulos, as a modern Odysseus, sinks like our life sinks today. The past begins to knock on the door and asks to take a stand. The history of the modern Greek from 1960 until today, the dissolution of us, the rise of the ego, the descent of emotions, the transition to corruption, the ridicule of the Greek in history. Chryssa Ropa, as a modern Penelope, tries to keep the house, the child, the life that is lost. But love and affection are crushed in the years of infidelity and greed.

Previously a central part of communal life, the movie palaces of New York’s Chinatown are now extinct. This documentary short takes us inside the title theater located on the Bowery, as it’s about to close its doors, with its caretakers ruefully looking back at the life that once was. Eric Lin’s poignant first film serves as a glimpse into the usually private—and, according to the Music Palace’s projectionist, “lonely”—operations of a theater, and mourns the loss of a once-vital movie-going locale.
What does the question “to be or not to be?” mean? 86 year-old director Olģerts Kroders stages his fourth production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet at the Valmiera Drama Theatre. The theatre is more than merely his occupation, for he not only works there but also spends all of his time in it. The film depicts his routine and the rehearsal process up until the premiere, and provokes a dialogue using the four actors who have all played Hamlet in the different productions. Kroders’s life and the lives of the actors tell the history of Latvia and the fates of different generations.
