Phil Ochs: There But for Fortune
Writer
From civil rights to the anti-war movement to the struggles of workers, folksinger Phil Ochs wrote topical songs that engaged his audiences in the issues of the 1960s and 70s. In this biographical documentary, veteran director Kenneth Bowser shows how Phil's music and his fascinating life story and eventual decline into depression and suicide were intertwined with the history-making events that defined a generation. Even as his contemporaries moved into folk-rock and pop music, Phil followed his own vision, challenging himself and his listeners. Not one to pull punches, Ochs never achieved the commercial success he desperately desired. But his music remains relevant, reaching new audiences in a generation that finds his themes all too familiar.

John Ford/John Wayne: The Filmmaker and the Legend
Writer
John Ford and John Wayne — a friendship and professional collaboration that spanned 50 years, changed each others’ lives, changed the movies, and in the process, changed the way America saw itself. It was a relationship that reflected all the elements and all the paradoxes of 20th century America — generosity of spirit, abuse of power, a sense of loyalty, and a restless nationalism that didn’t quite know what to do with itself.

Беспечный ездок и бешеный бык
Writer
В 1969 году малобюджетный байкерский фильм «Беспечный ездок» потряс Голливуд невероятным прокатным успехом и возвестил о начале новой эры. Это было время, когда молодые и талантливые режиссеры Скорсезе, Коппола и Спилберг вместе с новым поколением актеров, среди которых Де Ниро, Пачино и Николсон, стали влиятельными фигурами в кинематографе и создали современную киноклассику. Основанный на интервью самих режиссеров, продюсеров, звездных актеров, их агентов, сценаристов, руководителей студий, жен и экс-жен, этот фильм — исчерпывающий и откровенный рассказ о последнем «золотом веке» Голливуда.
