Sinopse

The long log drive: a spring journey down icy streams and rivers moving logs from the forest to the mill for sawing into boards, laths, and clapboards. For more than 150 years, logging techniques remained the same. Men cut trees by hand and loaded them on horse-drawn sleds to be hauled over snow to the river. Skilled river drivers maneuvered the logs downstream, risking their limbs and lives every day. This film survives as a record of the long log business.

E Agora Algo Completamente Diferente
Monty Python em "E Agora Algo Completamente Diferente" é uma miscelânea de excertos completamente loucos e atrevidos da lendária série de televisão da BBC "Monty Python's Flying Circus", que é tida como um marco histórico da comédia britânica. Considerado o primeira longa-metragem dos Monty Python, esta antologia inclui pontos altos como, por exemplo, "Como não se deixar ver" no qual os participantes são severamente punidos por serem apanhados, bem como um conselheiro matrimonial que faz amor com a mulher do paciente, ou um contador que quer ser domador de leões, além de sequências divertidíssimas como a do papagaio morto e a do programa de televisão "Chantagem" que convida os espectadores a enviarem dinheiro para evitar escândalos. "E Agora Algo Completamente Diferente" é um filme obrigatório para os fãs dos Monty Python e para todos que gostam do humor excêntrico e negro dos britânicos.

I, Dalio
The great French actor, Marcel Dalio, who has the lead role in Jean Renoir's THE RULES OF THE GAME, also appears in Renoir's GRAND ILLUSION. In both films he plays a character who is Jewish, as Dalio was in real life. In fact, in most of the French films he's in the 1930s, he almost always plays shady characters, informers, blackmailers and gangsters. In other words, he is always "the Jew." When the Nazis invaded France in 1940, he fled to America and appeared in CASABLANCA and TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT. In America, he was no longer the Jew but The Frenchman. He became, in dozens of films, America's idea of a typical Frenchman. His film career has these two strands in which he has two different identities. Are you defined by other people and their perceptions of who you are? Are you always a creation of the way people want to see you? Or can you exist outside of the arbitrary boundaries which are placed on you?

The Curse of Quon Gwon: When the Far East Mingles with the West
The Curse of Quon Gwon is the oldest known Chinese-American film and one of the earliest American silent features made by a woman. Only two reels of the film survive, and no intertitles are known to exist, making it difficult to parse out the exact plot. An article in the July 17, 1917 issue of The Moving Picture World states that the film "deals with the curse of a Chinese god that follows his people because of the influence of western civilization." The film also touches on themes of Chinese assimilation into American society. Formally premiering in 1917, no distributor was willing to purchase a Chinese-American film without racial stereotypes. Considered a devastating financial failure, the film was only screened two more times until its rediscovery in 2004.
