Music

New Year, New You
Original Music Composer

Город Йоэля
Music
Сам город, упомянутый в названии, — это на самом деле деревня, хасидская община на севере от Нью-Йорка, которая оказалась настолько успешной в воплощении всех 613 мицв из Торы, что теперь им попросту не хватает места, чтобы всем жить - так стало много поселенцев. Назван "город" в честь рабби Йоэля Тейтельбаума, вдохновителя всей ультраортодоксальной хасидской общины в США. Джесси Суит, бывалый документалист и кинопродюсер, который собирал деньги на фильм с помощью краудфандинга, показывает всю подноготную борьбы хасидов за земли с местными активистами, которые считают, что такое расширение может повредить окружающей среде (а хасиды, конечно, считают, что их оппоненты — антисемиты), а регион Нью-Йорка показан как новый Вавилон, где цветёт сто цветов.

The Windmill Movie
Original Music Composer
Filmmaker Richard P. Rogers tried for twenty years to make a documentary about his own life. He died in 2001, leaving the project unfinished, until his widow, acclaimed photographer Susan Meiselas, commissioned his former student Alexander Olch to make a film out of the pieces. Starting in the Hamptons, in the town of Wainscott, the film weaves Rogers' footage into a journey through childhood memories, a less than encouraging mother, a family background of privilege, and Rogers' persistent, dogged attempts to document his own life. Rogers' friend, actor and writer Wallace Shawn, joins in the process, as the film investigates the differences between documentary and fiction, and tells the tragic story of Rogers' life.
