A symmetrically divided building: on one side, an important public hospital, on the other, a bewildering ruin. On the horizon, Rio de Janeiro, public health, education and Brazil’s aged modern project. Shot entirely in the monumental and only partially occupied modernist edifice of the University Hospital of UFRJ. A material metaphor of the Brazilian public sphere and its political maze. A synthesis architecturally expressed of the modernist utopia/dystopia.

The Unanswered Ives is the first film about Charles Ives (1874-1954), an American modernist composer, one of the first American composers of international renown. The 60-minute documentary sheds light on Ives' life and work in all its facets and inconsistencies. American singer and composer Frank Zappa included Charles Ives in a list of influences that he presented in the liner notes of his debut album Freak Out! (1966). Ives continues to influence contemporary composers, arrangers and musicians. Planet Arts Records released Mists: Charles Ives for Jazz Orchestra. Ives befriended and encouraged a young Elliott Carter. In addition, Phil Lesh, bassist of the Grateful Dead, has described Ives as one of his two musical heroes.

Stewart Williams left their collective mark on this desert paradise.

Guyanese painter Aubrey Williams (1926-1990) returns to his homeland on a “journey to the source of his inspiration” in this vivid Arts Council documentary, filmed towards the end of his life. The title comes from the indigenous Arawak word ‘timehri’ - the mark of the hand of man - which Williams equates to art itself. Timehri was also then the name of the international airport at Georgetown, Guyana's capital, where Williams stops off to restore an earlier mural. The film offers a rare insight into life beyond Georgetown, what Williams calls “the real Guyana.” Before moving to England in 1952 he had been sent to work on a sugar plantation in the jungle; this is his first chance to revisit the region and the Warao Indians - formative influences on his work - in four decades. Challenging the ill-treatment of indigenous Guyanese, Williams explored the potential of art to change attitudes. By venturing beyond his British studio, this film puts his work into vibrant context.

En 1972 se estrenó una película que convulsionó la realidad social estadounidense: Garganta Profunda. Estrenada en el mismo momento en que los movimientos nacionales para la liberación sexual, la igualdad de derechos y los valores contraculturales estaban alcanzando su punto álgido, esta película sexualmente explícita se convirtió inesperadamente en el epicentro de una tormenta social y política sin precedentes. El gobierno de Nixon y el FBI iniciaron una cruzada contra la película y sus creadores. Inside Deep Throat (Dentro de Garganta Profunda) es un documental en el que los directores Randy Barbato y Fenton Bailey nos proponen un viaje a los años 70, a la situación social, cultural y política de los norteamericanos, y al intenso impacto que provocó una película pornográfica, cuyo título llegó incluso a servir de referente al escándalo de Watergate que acabó costando la presidencia a Nixon.
Grabado el 12 de julio de 1986 en el Wembley Stadium en Londres, Reino Unido.
