Краткое содержание
A series of cameo portraits of the filmmaker's friends and lovers intercut with a playful celebration of fruits and vegetables in nature.
A substantial part of life is claimed by boredom. Beauty, love, work.. sometimes it just isn't worth getting out of bed. A girl in a strawberry pie factory, a stressed desert nomad, a Wall street stockbroker, the last living WW2 female spy, a painter who paints Time for 42 years, the first school shooter in history who wounded eleven children and killed two adults because: 'I don't like Mondays', are the characters in this film. John Malkovich gives voice to the inner bored human being. He crawls under your skin prompting questions: Howmany people in the world are like me?
«Шахта N8» — документальный фильм о жизни в шахтерской глубинке. Он был снят эстонцами в 2008 году в городе Снежное. Одном из самых бедных и безнадежных городов региона, где закрылись почти все шахты, и местному населению осталось только копать уголь в копанках. Главный герой фильма — пятнадцатилетний мальчик Юра, который вынужден работать в нелегальной шахте, чтобы прокормить своих сестер. Шахта N8 — название поселка в Снежном, где уголь залегает очень близко к поверхности и жители выкапывают его прямо у себя в огородах. Фильм жестко и без купюр показывает тот Донбасс, который предпочитают не замечать местные чиновники.
This documentary follows painter and musician Lyn Foulkes from age 70 to 77 as he labors to complete two astonishing tableaux that demonstrate his outsider's perspective and eye for evocative imagery. As his reworking of one piece stretches into its second decade, we watch Foulkes' righteous contempt for the establishment erode, replaced by a yearning for the recognition he's due.
Six years after I left my country, Brazil, I was sent an old sound reel in the post and I discovered a recording of my parent's wedding ceremony. I was twenty-six.

Электро Москва – это эссеистская электро-сказка о России, повествующая о советской эпохе и ее последствиях. Историю открывает изобретатель, физик и музыкант Лев Термен, создатель первого в мире электронного музыкального инструмента терменвокс – одной из первых телевизионных систем, а также бесчисленного количества невероятных приборов, изобретенных им во время работы в секретных научных лабораториях КГБ. Основная линия фильма - история советской электронной музыки и аналоговых синтезаторов, созданных на военных заводах из бракованных деталей. История электронной музыки и советских синтезаторов – это аллегорическая картина жизни многих талантливых людей в России, творящих не благодаря, а вопреки политической системе своей страны. Это электро-сказка о свободном творческом духе, скрытом от мира за тяжелым железным занавесом.

In 1968, in 1/500th of a second Eddie Adams photographed a Saigon police chief, General Nguyen Nyoc Loan, shooting a Vietcong guerilla point blank. Some say that photograph ended the Vietnam War. The photo brought Eddie fame and a Pulitzer, but Eddie was haunted by the man he had vilified. He would say "Two lives were destroyed that day, the victim's and the general's." Others would say three lives were destroyed. Eddie Adams, like most artists, was tortured by his need for perfection. Nothing he did ever satisfied him. He carved out many careers shooting covers for Life, Time, and even Penthouse. Yes somehow, he was always pulled back into documenting wars, 13 all together. Finally he hit the wall and couldn't take it anywmore. He began shooting celebrities because 'It doesn't take anything from you.' Eddie was comfortable with kings and coal miners. During his time with Parade Magazine he photographed Clint Eastwood, Louis Armstrong, Mother Theresa, and Pope John Paul II.
