ウッドストックが開催された1969年の夏、160キロ離れた場所で行われたもうひとつの歴史的音楽フェスティバル「ハーレム・カルチュラル・フェスティバル」にスポットを当てた音楽ドキュメンタリー。スティービー・ワンダー、B・B・キング、マヘリア・ジャクソン、ニーナ・シモンらブラックミュージックのスターが集結し、30万人以上が参加しながらも、その様子を記録した映像は約50年間も地下室に埋もれたままになっていた。4度のグラミー賞受賞者で、エミネムやジェイ・Zのプロデューサーとしても知られるアミール・“クエストラブ”・トンプソンが初監督を務め、黒人の歴史やカルチャー、ファッション、音楽の大々的な発表の場となった同フェスティバルの全貌を、貴重な映像や当時のインタビュー、そして約50年の時を経てこの映像に初めて触れる当時の参加者たちの証言を交えながら描き出す。2021年サンダンス映画祭でドキュメンタリー部門の審査員大賞と観客賞を受賞。

By the mid-1980s, the fabled animation studios of Walt Disney had fallen on hard times. The artists were polarized between newcomers hungry to innovate and old timers not yet ready to relinquish control. These conditions produced a series of box-office flops and pessimistic forecasts: maybe the best days of animation were over. Maybe the public didn't care. Only a miracle or a magic spell could produce a happy ending. Waking Sleeping Beauty is no fairy tale. It's the true story of how Disney regained its magic with a staggering output of hits - "Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast ," "Aladdin," "The Lion King," and more - over a 10-year period.

The most glittering, expensive, and exhausting videotaping session in television history took place Friday February 19, 1982 at New York's Radio City Music Hall. The event, for which ticket-buyers payed up to $1,000 a seat (tax-deductible as a contribution to the Actors' Fund) was billed as "The Night of 100 Stars" but, actually, around 230 stars took part. And most of the audience of 5,800 had no idea in advance that they were paying to see a TV taping, complete with long waits for set and costume changes, tape rewinding, and the like. Executive producer Alexander Cohen estimated that the 5,800 Radio City Music Hall seats sold out at prices ranging from $25 to $1,000. The show itself cost about $4 million to produce and was expected to yield around $2 million for the new addition to the Actors Fund retirement home in Englewood, N. J. ABC is reputed to have paid more than $5 million for the television rights.

Utitlising humour, fantasy, animation, poetry and theatrics, Hochman and her crew challenge the male establishment for ignoring the first meeting of the National Women's Political Caucus and Shirley Chisholm's bid for US vice-president.

Part of a collection of restored early works by Nam June Paik and Jud Yalkut, this piece is historically significant as well as remarkably prescient. Video Tape Study No.3 is a direct media intervention, in which Paik distorts and manipulates footage from news conferences by U.S. President Lyndon Johnson and New York Mayor Lindsey.
