The Films of Kenneth Anger: Volume One Kenneth Anger Fantoma Street: 01.23 Finally the films of Kenneth Anger are being restored, and restored beautifully at that. Forever (literally), Anger’s films have been out-of-print due to copyright issues concerning pop songs in his films.

Escape to Canada Albert Nerenberg The Disinformation Company Ltd. Street: 05.22 I don’t think I have ever cringed so often during a documentary in my entire life.

Einstuerzende Neubauten Palast Der Republik MVDvisual Street: 03.13 Nowadays, in order to be an industrial act all you have to do is have a drilling beat and a few steam whistles. In this DVD, Neubauten revitalizes the term “industry” in industrial music. Not so much a band as a performance group, Neubauten continues to be

Hostage Constantine Giannaris Koch Lorber Street: 02.13 Hostage is, as Milhouse Van Houten once said, “like Speed 2, only on a bus instead of a boat!” It tells the story of Senia, a scruffy, young Albanian immigrant who, armed with an assault rifle and a grenade, hijacks a bus one summer morning in northern Greece.

Hacking Democracy Simon Ardizzone and Russell Michaels Docurama Street: 04.10 Hacking Democracy is yet another documentary set out to uncover the truth about voter disenfranchisement in the past few elections.
