Películas

Emily @ the Edge of Chaos
Aristotle (voice)
Emily @ the Edge of Chaos interweaves Emily Levine’s live performance with animation, appearances by scientists, and animated characters. The film uses physics, which explains how the universe works, to explain our metaphysics – the story of our values, our institutions, our interactions. Using her own experience and a custom blend of insight and humor, provocation and inspiration, personal story and social commentary, Emily takes her audience through its own paradigm shift: from the Fear of Change to the Edge of Chaos.
Origin
Thanks

El gran Buster
Self
La vida y la obra de Buster Keaton, el gran artista de la era dorada del cine mudo en Hollywood junto con Charles Chaplin. La influencia de sus películas, como El héroe del río (1928), El maquinista de la General (1926) o El moderno Sherlock Holmes (1924), va mucho más allá de la comedia y se extiende por toda la historia del cine hasta la actualidad.
Bucky and the Squirrels
Richard Lewis
Back in 1968, Bucky and the Squirrels topped the charts with their dance hit 'Do the Squirrel.' Unfortunately, on their first promotional tour, the plane carrying the band crashed and disappeared somewhere in the Swiss Alps - never to be heard of again. That is until now, 50 years later, when the plane is discovered with the Squirrels still inside - frozen alive. Naturally, they're taken to a cryonics lab to be defrosted. Long Live the Squirrels!

Jerry Lewis se hace el loco
Self
La lista de invitados que participan en este documental es impresionante. Sirvan de ejemplo unos pocos nombres: Alec Baldwin, Eddie Murphy y Jerry Seinfeld. Todos ellos, iconos de la comedia americana más o menos reciente. No resulta nada extraño que quieran hablar sobre Jerry Lewis, hijo secreto de la modernidad, revolucionario del humor y del cine. Method to the Madness of Jerry Lewis muestra al rey de la comedia de cerca. Lewis se presta no sólo a ser filmado, sino que se expone sin reproches en este documental que ahonda (al fin) en una de las figuras más importantes (y menos reivindicadas) de la historia del cine.
