Восемь дней в неделю
Co-Producer
В 1962 году четыре подростка – Джон Леннон, Пол Маккартни, Джордж Харрисон и Ринго Старр – создали музыкальный феномен 20-го века под названием «Битлз». В 1963 году группа покорила Европу, а в 1964 – США. Их потрясающие мировые турне изменили молодежную культуру и, как многие уверены, положили начало современной индустрии массовых развлечений. В это же время группа записала несколько невероятно успешных песен и альбомов. Но бремя небывалой славы, которая переросла в массовые беспорядки в 1966 году, вынудила «Битлз» прекратить гастрольную деятельность. У группы появилось время для работы над несколькими альбомами, изменившими мир студийной музыки. Интервью, архивные съемки, потрясающие кадры концертных выступлений и глубокое понимание героев, позволят окунуться в невероятное приключение и получить ответ на животрепещущий вопрос: «Каково это – жить в то время?»

Hollywoodism: Jews, Movies and the American Dream
Director
This film discusses the effect on how major American films in Hollywood were influenced by the Eastern European Jewish culture that most of the major movie moguls who controlled the studios shared. Through clips of various films, the filmmakers illustrate the dominant themes like that of the outsider, the outspoken American patriotism, and rooting for the underdog in society.
Великий день в Гарлеме
Producer

Visions of Light
Executive Producer
Cameramen and women discuss the craft and art of cinematography and of the "DP" (the director of photography), illustrating their points with clips from 100 films, from Birth of a Nation to Do the Right Thing. Themes: the DP tells people where to look; changes in movies (the arrival of sound, color, and wide screens) required creative responses from DPs; and, these artisans constantly invent new equipment and try new things, with wonderful results. The narration takes us through the identifiable studio styles of the 30s, the emergence of noir, the New York look, and the impact of Europeans. Citizen Kane, The Conformist, and Gordon Willis get special attention.
