Breasts: A Documentary
Twenty-two women (ranging in age from 11 to 84), with 41 breasts, talk about their breasts; most are topless as they speak. They talk about adolescence, bras, commercial images of women's figures, having implants or, in one case, a breast reduction, health problems with silicone, doctors' exams ("I think you have a throat infection, let me examine your breasts"), breasts as power tools and as objects of pleasure, cancer, living with mastectomies, and the effects of time and gravity. Two mother-daughter teams and two strippers participate. The women (and the girls) are humorous, straightforward, reflective, and good-natured about their bodies and their selves
A Vida e a Música de Thelonious Monk
O cineasta Bruce Ricker não podia acreditar na sua sorte. As imagens filmadas por Michael e Christian Blackwood sobre o compositor e pianista de jazz moderno, Thelonious Monk, em 1968, estavam em excelente estado. Incluindo cenas de Monk fora dos palcos. Os rolos estavam, Ricker disse, "apenas lá, esperando para serem descobertos e revelados ao mundo". aaRicker, como produtor, junta-se a diretora Charlotte Zwerin ("Gimme Shelter"), ao produtor executivo Clint Eastwood e outros para trazerem esse material à vida. "A Vida e Música de Thelonious Monk" combina imagens dos Blackwood como Thelonious no estúdio, durante a turnê e cenas por trás das câmeras, como novas entrevistas, fotos de arquivo e mais para criar um marco visual na história do jazz moderno.
