She has been compared to everyone from Johnny Cash to Bruce Springsteen. A music critic famously wrote of her “What if Bob Dylan had been born a Canadian lesbian?” She once hired an unknown songwriter named Tori Amos as a backup singer, and she has been cited as an influence by everyone from Ani diFranco to the Indigo Girls. We are, of course, speaking of Ferron. No last name needed - just Ferron. And a guitar. In this remarkably intimate documentary, Gerry Rogers chronicles the return of the folk legend as she picks up the pieces after a 10-year absence from music.

Poster for A Walk

2008 · ★ 6.0 (1)

Throughout her work, Aurand frequently makes her camera and her images felt as an active, moving body—spinning, rushing, departing, returning, expanding, contracting, hanging upside down. In A Walk, her film goes walking. The camera occupies a snowy Swiss setting, as Aurand creates a material, tonal landscape that is both nebulous, serene, and wonderfully energetic.

Bitter Herbs and Honey tells a richly textured story of the making of multi-cultural Australia. Through the saga of the the story of the Jewish migrants, mainly from Eastern Europe, who made their first home in Melbourne's inner-city suburb of Carlton, the film explores issues at the heart of Australia's development towards cultural diversity. The film builds a picture of poor immigrants who left Europe in the period of turmoil preceding, and in the wake of, the Second World War, having lost everything spiritually and materially. In a country most had never heard of on the other side of the earth, they began to rebuild their lives.
