Gay Rights / Special Rights

1993 • 48 min
This film investigates not only agenda of the "gay" movement, but also the dangers of their behavior. Why does an average gay male only live to the age of 38? Does it have to do with the choice of lifestyle? This film tackles tough subjects that are hardly ever brought up in the church or home. Understand the facts, the reality of the situation, before a dogmatic opinion is made whether for, or against the gay rights movement.

A flower coordinator who has recently become popular after appearing on TV information programs. In reality, she was a bit of a slut, and had a hobby of picking up men on the streets at night and taking them to hotels to have fun, but as her face became more popular, she could easily do that. Her problem is now gone. Meanwhile, her freelance photographer sees her on TV and falls in love with her at first sight.

Joan Mitchell: Portrait of an Abstract Painter

Joan Mitchell: Portrait of an Abstract Painter

1993 • 58 min
A powerful and intimate portrait, Joan Mitchell: Portrait of an Abstract Painter captures Mitchell's independent spirit and testifies eloquently to Mitchell's art. Joan Mitchell was born in Chicago in 1926 and died in Paris in 1992. After graduating from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Joan settled in New York City in 1950. She was an active participant of New York's dynamic Abstract Expressionist scene and hung out with fellow painters Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning and Philip Guston and, soon, poets Frank O'Hara, James Schuyler and John Ashbery. In the mid-fifties, she moved to Paris, France. There she was part of a circle of friends that included Pierre Matisse, Samuel Beckett and Alberto Giacometti. Mitchell is one of the great abstract painters of the 20th century. This elegantly edited documentary weaves interviews with the acerbic Mitchell and other leading painters and critics while letting her stunning pictures dominate the film.

Up to the South

Up to the South

1993 • 60 min
Up to the South is ostensibly a documentary on the south of Lebanon exploring the conditions of the time it was shot, the issues behind those conditions and their representation both in the West and in Lebanon itself. Within this we were trying to tackle two other concerns. One being the terms (and positions) inherent in the discourse surrounding the issues, i.e. terrorism, colonialism, occupation, resistance, collaboration, experts, spokespeople, leadership, the land, etc., and the other being the history and structure of the documentary genre specifically in regards to the representation of other cultures by the West in documentary, ethnography and anthropological practise and the problems/agenda involved from the perspective of the subjects viewed and the practitioners practising. Up to the South challenges traditional documentary formats by positing representation itself as a politicized practice.

Chronicles of Hope

Chronicles of Hope

1993 • 52 min • France
In july 1936, the civil war began in Spain, and it would last three years. Since then, it has constantly been a subject for fascination and controversy. What could have pushed leftists from all over the world to fight for a cause that their governments rejected? Why did young men leave their work, their family and their country, so they could join a fight that was somehow a rehearsal for World War II? Nearly 40.000 people enlisted to defend their ideals on a foreign territory. Chronicles Of Hope doesn't intend to describe the events of the civil war in a one-tracked political mould; the human dimension is here the center of interest.

He was looking and finding lost time, things left by other men and creating from it his own unique world." - Audrius Stonys.
