From the producer of The Case for Israel - Democracy's Outpost comes a meticulous examination of the resurgence of lethal Jew-hatred in regions around the world. Filmmaker Gloria Greenfield travels from Europe to Israel to North America, interviewing world-renowned scholars, analysts, experts in international law and media, and political leaders to cover this phenomenon comprehensively.

Master Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai directed this lyrical, dream-like martial arts epic. A famously troubled shoot, the film took two years and 40 million dollars to produce (a shocking sum for a national cinema populated with low-budget quickies) and features a virtual who's who of the Hong Kong film world. Conceived as a prequel to the popular martial arts novel The Eagle-Shooting Hero by Jin Yong, the movie is less a straightforward action thriller than a visually striking meditation on memory and love.

Originally released in the U.S. in a truncated version, this is the complete 159-minute director's cut.

Grady Harp, Los Angeles films critics association: 'Art is an endless quest for originality' Posted 12/20/2010: El Vulgaro (AKA Yavor Batchev) has written and produced a full length animated film THE BULGARIAN PROPHET that is highly original, sure to assault the sensibilities of everyone who watches it, and proves that art is the medium through which parody and criticism and political statements can be made with security: art is art and everything in the world is up to interpretation by artists! Yavor Batchev was born in Bulgaria in 1940, educated there, and escaped communist Bulgaria in 1965 to live in France, then Canada, and now in the United States. He knows the material about which he writes and creates and that is the main reason it works so well. Yavor is no outsider to the process of 'civilization' from his birth to the present, and he has a keen sense of burlesque.
The story centers around 25-year-old Ivan who escapes from communist Bulgaria to Italy where he meets two friends from the Church of Eternal Profit who transport him to Los Angeles in the 1970s -- that wild flowerchild period of potheads protesting the Vietnam war. To enter the country he must have a Social security number -- which in Ivan's case is stamped on a rather original portion of his body. He finds strange work in a zoo, then makes money working in a plant for reconditioning condoms, and subsequently meets a girl -- Sunshine Flower -- who works in a Sprout Factory. While out for a walk and a 'relief' one day Ivan receives a revelation from the God of S**t, is hit by a meteorite, recovers to find he has supernatural powers and become the Prophet who founds the Temple of Holy S**t. Ivan's new stance replaces the unkept promises and lack of miracles by the existing government and he is idolized -- hearing confessions, talking with the Secretary of State and the head of the FBI, blessing the faithful at his sermons, and carrying on the full schedule of government mockery until he is kidnapped by the KGB and taken to Russia where his psychic powers are used for bizarre needs. He escapes and returns to his Temple which in turn is destroyed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Fire Arms and Premature Ejaculations!

There are few aspects of world politics and fanatical religion and anti-social doctrines that are left untouched by Batchev's wildly imaginative humor: Batchev (or rather 'El Vulgaro') calls this film 'Cinema of the Absurd'. This well-made film is WAY over the top and is destined to become an art house classic.

ARMY OF CRIME tells an extraordinary true story of the French Resistance during WWII. In German-occupied Paris, poet and factory worker Missak Manouchian (Simon Abkarian) led a courageous group of immigrant fighters to sabotage the Nazi regime. Made up of young Jews, Poles, Hungarians, Romanians, Italians, Spaniards and Armenians, this heroically ragtag group committed nearly all acts of armed resistance in the capital between March and November 1943, before a series of arrests broke their ranks. Director Robert Guédiguian dramatizes their tale, bringing to life their acts of everyday sabotage from bombing Nazi hangouts to assassinating brutal generals, all the while being hounded by the Vichy French police, who use double-agents and macabre tortures to bring them in. In the middle of it all, Manouchian's love for his strong-willed wife Mélinée (the luminous Virginie Ledoyen) reminds them of the liberty they're fighting for. The noble and tragic story of these immigrants, who died for the republican ideals of France, is poetically brought to life in this epic film.
