Моё поколение
Self (archive footage)
Лондон 60-х — это праздник непослушания, неспящий, раскрашенный в немыслимые раньше цвета город. Музыкальная и модная столица, где боги — The Beatles и The Rolling Stones, а богини — Твигги и Марианна Фэйтфулл. Рок-н-ролл и свободная любовь расшатали классовую систему, и на киноэкране впервые в истории британского кино мог появиться герой с рабочим происхождением Майкла Кейна и его характерным выговором. Впервые актер мог гордо говорить на пролетарском кокни и быть суперзвездой. Этот, знакомый по «Досье Ипкресс» и «Элфи», голос и звучит за кадром «Моего поколения» — очень личного фильма, героями которого стали Пол Маккартни, Дэвид Бейли, Мэри Куант и Роджер Долтри. Уникальные интервью с героями «британского вторжения», лучшая музыка и Лондон, увиденный глазами Майкла Кейна, человека, который пережил 60-е.

Our Guests at Heartland
Хотите посмотреть, как песни The Beatles исполняют совсем молоденькие Bee Gees, Peter Frampton, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Earth,Wind&Fire, Steve Martin, Paul Nicholas, Billy Preston и др., тогда Вам сюда! Это игровой фильм и даже есть какой то сюжет, но самое главное в нем, это песни Великой четверкии их исполнители. Фильм выпущен в 1978 году,так что он, конечно, не дотягивает до современного Across the Universe, но как исторический факт и попытка прикосновения к великому-тоже ничего. Приятного просмотра!
Aliens from Spaceship Earth
Original Music Composer
Tries to prove that all great men of the past were actually aliens. While the aliens in this film may seem to be quite human, one must realize that this film is dealing with close encounters of the fourth kind. An inner space journey triggered by the drug culture and rebellion of the sixties, and the non-violent search for self that continues among people in today's culture. Could this be due to some influence from a higher spiritual consciousness? The world's alien leaders are well represented in this film: Baba Muktananda, Swami Satchidananda, A. C. Bhaktivedanta, Guru Maharaj Ji, Yoga Bhahan, Sri Sathya, Sai Baba, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Father Yod, Baba Ram Das, and well-known personalities who present their views on seeking their own terrestrial individuality. Whether inspired by a more highly evolved race than earthlings, or from a visit millions of years ago by space aliens, Aliens from Spaceship Earth are causing great changes on our planet today.
