Poster for Sex, Love, and Other Perversions

2006 · ★ 4.0 (12)

Composed of eight stories with comic overtones, all share the central theme of "love" and the extremes to which people will go to achieve it: unrequited love, deception and lust. They all offer a different take on the most difficult of human emotions: love.

Here's a film for high school students and their teachers about the history of the Viet Nam War, composed of just photographs from that war, narration and, to help us through a damned disheartening story, lots of the Bach Suite for Solo Cello #1 in G. The film is 45 minutes long––perfect for classroom use and repeated screenings by stu-dents on their own. It's my response to the flawed Ken Burn/Lynn Novick 18-hour PBS series, The Vietnam War... too long for the classroom and failing in many ways as a useful account of the tragic Viet Nam war. It’s free to stream or download the film from this website, so teachers, help yourselves. I’ve also provided a curriculum, produced by the Zinn Education Project’s Rethinking Schools for teaching this film, and some additional useful writings for understanding the Viet Nam War.

Poster for Head-Tie

2014 · ★ 0.0 (0)

This tale of lovers is both complementary and contradictory. As quickly as their dance becomes one of trust, it quickly merges to one of fear and back again. The sensuality of touching while not touching brings with it a host of emotions that span the spectrum of love, lust, and uncertainty. In Head -Tie, the depth of emotion becomes almost too much to handle. As the lovers swim in each other, they are so close together that they almost start to drift away. But they always find a way back one another. Love is beauty. Love is raw. Love is sensuality. But mostly, love is painfully real.

Until now, they have stood on the sidelines. They have not appeared before the cameras. They have not taken part in public discussion. It is mainly to them that the documentary film by the well-known journalist Ewa Ewart was devoted. It shows the face of the Smolensk catastrophe through the eyes of the victims' families. April 10, 2010 went down in the memory of Poles as a day of national drama. But for the characters in the film, it was the day of their greatest personal drama. Along with the presidential couple, their loved ones passed away in shocking circumstances. For most, the time passing since the Smolensk catastrophe does not bring relief. Ewa Ewart and her film crew accompany the families at various stages of their struggle with difficult emotions. The film is in the process of being made and will include sequences and stills that have not been used anywhere before.
