As she nears the age of 30, Rina still tries to find, with some difficulty, a path to becoming a film director. This year her father Richard, who she misses dearly, sends his favorite animal and Chinese zodiac sign, the tiger, to silently listen and follow his daughter through her unsteady sound of life. Through the medium of film, we distantly imagine what the world was like in the 1950s, when he himself was 30.

Poster for The Randy Band Film

1988 · ★ 0.0 (0)

In the mid 1980s, I heard Memphis's very own RANDY BAND and decided I would collaborate with their bass player Randy Chertow on a movie. Tommy Hull wrote this song "You" and I shot this Super 8 Movie to go with his great melody. In this movie, you will see band members Chertow, Tommy Hull and George Reineke. You will also see my wonderful sister Dana Sachs and great friend Kathy Steuer. I too have a small cameo you might catch. Some of the film is shot in the Fairgrounds in Memphis and some in the now long gone but dearly cherished MUSEUM OF THE UNKNOWN in Marin County, California.

Poster for Mommy, Mama and us

2013 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Talking about her documentary, she first talked about “Mommy, Mama and Us” and said that she was a pair of lesbians in Hong Kong who insisted on the possibility of same-sex marriage and family and hoped to tell other people through their own stories. People, sex proceeds unimpeded. “It was a pair of lovers who had a lot of questions when you saw them. Their stories had many complexities, but at the same time, they also showed that they all came along with firm love and courage.” She laughed and remembered the pair. Same-sex mothers are holding cute sticky sons and kiss each other's foreheads, gently grinding the love and encounter of two generations.

Poster for Maschile-Roma

2015 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Men, their faces in close-up, gazing face first into the camera one after the other is the opening motif of this barely three-minute film, which only right at the end, and after the credits reveals a view of the city of Rome; of a fountain and its water-jet, which at this point could also be ambiguously interpreted and here, as already in earlier films, through (humorous) breaks with and against itself, mirrors a direct interpretation. -Rike Frank

Poster for Speaking Up 2

2007 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Using the same interview techniques applied in her highly successful Speaking Up (2005), Tammy Cheung turns her attention from Hong Kong to Mainland China. In Speaking Up II, she interviews around two dozen students from a well-respected primary school in Jiangxu (near Shanghai). They are asked to express their views on different topics such as personal issues, family, gender, society, and more. Presented in a skilfully edited montage and intertwined with footage of their daily lives at school, their answers highlight the changing face of today’s China.

Poster for Death of a Marriage

1969 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Regarding this film and Cleansed: "These are two of the first films Hammer ever made and two of the last films she made while married to a man. Never before screened, they capture Hammer and her former husband interacting together but separately – walking in the woods, riding horses, taking showers. Throughout both of these pieces Hammer uses her own body to manipulate the way in which we see the images, deploying her hands as mattes and creating layers with the shadows of her body." - Leslie Lohman Museum

Poster for Over Their Dead Bodies: Tantura, the Forgotten Massacre

2008 · ★ 0.0 (0)

This film explores testimonies from expelled residents of Tantura, a former Palestinian Arab fishing village that was located 28 kilometers south of Haifa on the Mediterranean coast of Palestine. In May 1948, the village was attacked by Jewish Haganah forces as part of a regional “cleansing” operation in the foothills of Mount Carmel, with the goal of expelling the Arab residents. Many Palestinians were killed and hundreds were imprisoned. Those who survived fled to the nearby village of Fureidis, which was spared destruction when Jewish residents of nearby towns interceded on its behalf. Other survivors became refugees in the West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria. Kibbutz Nahsholim and Moshav Dor were subsequently built on land on the outskirts of Tantura. A mass grave is believed to be located under a parking lot, but current residents oppose exhuming the bodies.
