Promised Lands
Jul 11, 1974Susan Sontag scrutinizes the ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict and the growing divisions within Jewish thought over the question of Palestinian sovereignty. Shot in Israel during the final days of the Yom Kippur War. Promised Lands is less straight documentary than visual collage. There are images of combat zones and soldiers, but also everyday street life, desert landscapes, funerals, supermarkets, the Wailing Wall. The soundtrack is snatches of radio, bursts of church bells and gunfire, and an extended voiceover from two politically opposed Israeli thinkers.

Joseph Cornell: Worlds in a Box
Nov 29, 1991This is a 1991 documentary film about the legendary artist and filmmaker, Joseph Cornell, who made those magnificent and strange collage boxes. He was also one of our great experimental filmmakers and once apparently made Salvador Dali extremely jealous at a screening of his masterpiece, Rose Hobart.

Town Bloody Hall
Apr 03, 1979Le soir du 30 avril 1971, un public de lettré·es et de militant·es se presse à l'hôtel de ville de New York pour voir l'écrivain, scénariste, réalisateur et acteur Norman Mailer (qui vient d'écrire "The Prisoner of Sex") débattre avec un panel d'intellectuelles féministes. Le sujet est la libération des femmes, question sur laquelle Mailer se fait l'avocat du diable. Pour le mettre à l'épreuve sont notamment réunies l'écrivaine et critique Jill Johnston (autrice de "Lesbian Nation : The Feminist Solution"), la critique littéraire Diana Trilling, la présidente de la National Organization of Women (NOW), Jacqueline Ceballos, et peut-être son adversaire la plus coriace, l'autrice de "La Femme eunque" à la langue affûtée, Germaine Greer. Cet événement a fait date, et ce film se révèle stimulant ainsi que diablement divertissant.

À travers leurs regards se révèle un pionnier à l'humour insolent, en lutte contre le puritanisme. De son enfance dans l'Allemagne nazie à un Paris iconique immortalisé par ses photographies, elles retracent la vie d'un génie épris de liberté.
