We've heard so much about how great the Collins Kids were on the old Town Hall Party shows, but now there's finally a chance for us all to see just how great they really were. Lorrie looked like an angel and sang like an angel. Larry was among the era's most dynamic performers. He could run, jump, and duckwalk…all while playing a guitar that was almost as big as he was. This DVD really sets the record straight. The Collins Kids might have had no hits, but they were among the brightest stars in early rock 'n roll. Here (from 1954-58) they're mostly playing other peoples' hits, blues hits, and pop classics, but they're never outclassed by the originals.

The sensitive protagonist of this short film lives a secret double life as Arno/Nora. While Arno works in a meat processing factory, beautiful singer Nora devotes herself to the nightlife. The transformation from Arno to Nora, however, does not only lead to internal conflicts but also meets with increasing external disapproval and aggression.

With materials originally designed for use in an installation, this piece is sustained by the dual processes of editing and dismantling. The film combines frame-by-frame shooting, flickers effects reshooting, trace of sunlight, and trick-effects using wires to create parallel structures of juxtaposition. Even as it imitates the repetitions and transitions of natural phenomenon, the film escapes the world of natural.

K, for Kabylie, is a chronicle in several parts. Chronicle of a fragmented childhood between two countries, memory shredded by separation and abandonment. Chronicle also of the return, of a country broken by the central power (the demonstrations of the region of Tizi Ouzou in particular made tens of deaths), loneliness of the women and the children who fight each day for their survival. This is my family trajectory but it is above all that of a country with "murderous power" as all Kabyle children and adults sing.

Projecting the real on the imaginary. This single channel video installation explores notions of perception and reflection when juxtaposing the self and its empty image. A rhythmic mixture between stop-motion and cubism.

For years, urban people have seen the mountain country as a pure wonderland. When they get bored with the city, they visit the mountains and enjoy the hospitality of the ethnic minorities there. The director and cameraman go to the mountains with the typical expectations of urban people — that the local ethnic minority people are supposed to prepare meals for them, and that local labor should be cheap. Behind “Foggy Valley” lie the stories of Chinese country villages which are undergoing transformation.

Constricted Light explores concepts of illumination, both literal and metaphorical. Gorewitz writes: "According to the Zohar, a source text of Kabalistic mysticism, we live in a world of indirect light."

In December 1941, the Nazis shot four and a half thousand people in Yalta. Most of them were Jews. The Soviet authorities did not want to bury these people. Even the obelisk at the place of execution was put up after the war with the money of the relatives of the victims... In July 1994, Mikhail Degtyar came to this firing pit and saw a terrible picture - skulls, bones, documents of people shot 53 years ago were scattered very close to the Yalta International Hotel. 9 years later, Mikhail Degtyar returned to the place of execution of Yalta Jews. What has changed during this time? This is the movie "Execution".
