“New York Faces 1940-'50s” is a wonderful documentary short film created by filmmaker Leo Bar, a nostalgic piece that features the many “faces” of New York City, as seen while taking a ride on the now torn down Third Avenue Elevated Railway. Many of the vintage NYC images shown in the film were taken by the reclusive Vivian Maier, who was a nanny and street photographer in New York City and Chicago from the 1950-'90s. Other photographs were sourced from the New York Public Library. The music is “Hey Now” performed by Red Garland, released on “Red Garland Revisited!” (1957).
Enjoy the railway ride as it travels through the old neighborhoods of New York City!
This piece includes a number of black-and-white vintage photographs, a photo-gallery and the short film.

Look at what the billionaire bullies are doing now...
The Koch Brothers are doing their best to discredit the film and Greenwald. They’ve even set up a website with their version of ‘the facts.’ I find it amusing that the billionaire boys refer to Greenwald as fringe. Fringe is Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, or Sean Hannity. You know, the people who are truly factually and intellectually challenged.

Keith Haring ranks among the most iconic, influential and popular artists in the world. Opening twenty years after his death, “Keith Haring: 1978–1982” is a rare and in-depth look at the prolific early years that established Haring’s language as an artist, his politics and social conscience, and his open homosexuality. The historic exhibition opened on March 16th at the Brooklyn Museum and chronicles the early career of Keith Haring in New York City, through the years when he opened his studio and took his art to the streets.
Organized by the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati and the Kunsthalle Wien in Vienna, the exhibition traces the development of Haring’s extraordinary visual vocabulary. “Keith Haring: 1978–1982” includes 155 works on paper, numerous experimental videos and over 150 archival objects, including rarely seen sketchbooks, journals, exhibition flyers, posters, subway drawings and documentary photographs.
This piece includes a number of vintage photographs, a photo-gallery and the documentary, “The Universe of Keith Haring.”

I had the pleasure of viewing this documentary on Iran and its people/culture and had to share it. There is so much we do not know about this land rich in history and steeped in culture. Despite the political/religious turmoil and tensions we see displayed in the media and by politicians and warmongers on all sides, the culture lives on. I have always believed that it is the people of a country who can work together to stop war and to plant the seeds of humanity and peace. I surely hope to see this with Iran and all countries around the world. Rick Steves takes you on a mystical and incredible journey through Iran and you come away not only with more knowledge of its people but hope that peace can be achieved. I hope you enjoy this look into an incredible culture as much as I did.I had the pleasure of viewing this documentary on Iran and its people/culture and had... more

“Creatures of the Deep” is part of the award-winning nature documentary series “Life,” which was created by BBC television and first broadcast as part of the BBC’s Darwin Season in 2009. The series received its North American premiere on Discovery Channel Canada in November 2009 and received its U.S. premier on Discovery Channel in March 2010. The series was nominated for six Primetime Emmy Awards in July 2010, and the episode “Challenges of Life” went on to win the Outstanding Cinematography for Nonfiction Programming Award.
The series takes a global view of the specialized strategies and extreme behaviors that living things have developed in order to survive. “Creatures of the Deep” focuses on marine invertebrates, which are some of the most bizarre and beautiful animals on the planet, thriving in the midst of the toughest parts of the oceans. Divers swim into a shoal of predatory Humboldt squid as they emerge from the ocean depths to hunt in packs. When cuttlefish gather to mate, their bodies flash in stroboscopic colors. Time-lapse photography reveals thousands of starfish gathering under the Arctic ice to devour a seal carcass. The greatest living structures on earth, coral reefs, are created by tiny animals in some of the world’s most inhospitable waters.
The beautiful HD “Life” nature series provides the perfect visual background for any living room activity. As many have discovered, they play even better when muted and paired with soundtracks of your own choice. Now, videographer Tobi Totschlag has undertaken the task of curating some of his favorite songs and pairing them with parts of BBC’s “Life,” including some amazing scenes from “Creatures of the Deep.”
This piece includes a number of color photographs and four music videos created from the documentary series.

A gig that inspired a generation to make their own music, and arguably changed the world forever. Such was the power of punk. It was recently voted one of the most important concerts of all time, alongside Woodstock and Live Aid. Only a handful of people were actually at the gig at the city's Lesser Free Trade Hall but thousands have since claimed: 'I was there'. But who was there? For 30 years, the gig has been shrouded in myth and legend. But people who were there formed legendary Manchester bands such as Joy Division, The Smiths, The Fall, The Buzzcocks. Oh yes, and Solstice.

In 1919, in the midst of the Russian Civil War, Theremin invented the musical instrument that bears his name. The theremin is an electronic device that resonates sound when its operator waves his hands near its two antennas. It was the first musical instrument designed to be played without being touched. He invented the theremin (also called the thereminvox) in 1919, when his country was in the midst of the Russian Civil War. After a lengthy tour of Europe, during which he demonstrated his invention to full audiences, Theremin found his way to the United States. He performed the theremin with the New York Philharmonic in 1928. He patented his invention in 1929 (U.S. Patent 1,661,058 ) and subsequently granted commercial production rights to RCA. In 1938 Theremin was kidnapped in the New York apartment he shared with his American wife (the black ballet dancer, Iavana Williams) by the NKVD (forerunners of the KGB). He was transported back to Russia, and accused of propagating anti-Soviet propaganda by Stalin. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/album-rewievs/43054-leon-theremin-1896-1993-forefather-of-rock-n-roll-In 1919, in the midst of the Russian Civil War, Theremin invented the musical... more

BY TELIS DEMOS ---------------- Long-distance rail travel is the last way to observe the landscape of the Eastern Seaboard without enduring long stretches of overcrowded four-lane highways. So I recently planned a train ride from New York to Baltimore. I expected it to be inspiring. America’s railways had once been the finest in the world, and its first taste of “world class” in the mid-nineteenth century had been along the corridor between the colonial centers of the Coast. The landscape that is quite visible along the corridor— and throughout the Northeastern United States—is dotted not by the belching smokestacks and bustling equipment that were once the great awe- and fear-inspiring image of modern capitalism, but by obsolescence. Huge factories are silent and abandoned. The expansive gravel lots are littered with empty and rusting rail cars. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/your-details/43070-the-hidden-side-of-capitalism-capitalism-and-the-stateBY TELIS DEMOS ---------------- Long-distance rail travel is the last way to observe... more

The venue still vibrates from the power of bass and echoes from the fans still linger in the air as the spotlight shines onto an empty stage. This is the one place in the world that Disney star Demi Lovato feels like she is meant to be.
“Music is what I love to do, music is my life, like it runs in my veins,” said Lovato in her documentary, “Demi Lovato: Stay Strong,” which aired on MTV on Tuesday, March 2, 2012.
With a shaky voice and tear-filled eyes, Lovato poured her heart out to a camera that recorded her every move, tear and emotion since her time in Timberline Knolls Treatment Center a year ago.
Now, she shares those moments with the public.

The ghostly Polaroids that filmmaker Jem Cohen has taken of New York City over the past 30 years remind him of “a sleepwalker’s view of the city.” The impressionistic images, filled with vaporous landscapes, acid colors, deadpan close-ups and long, lonesome vistas, could be said to capture those parts of the city its residents have forgotten, or even what the city has forgotten about itself.
The same can be observed about Mr. Cohen’s short films, “NYC Weights and Measures” (2006) and “Lost Book Found” (1996), which capture the lonely solitude that exists beneath the often deafening noise and frantic bustle of the city’s streets.
This piece includes a number of Cohen's color Polaroids, as well as two of his short films.

“Girl Walk // All Day” is the newly-released debut film from director Jacob Krupnick, a piece of visual art painted with the colors of New York City, where the residents don’t even blink when a seemingly goofy young woman in a windbreaker starts dancing like a crazy person right through a park in broad daylight. The twelve-act movie uses “All Day,” the latest album from Girl Talk (Gregg Gillis), as its narrative force. The music provides a deeply emotional soundtrack to 71 minutes of dancing, as the three main actors dance their way through New York, from the High Line to Central Park, to the subway, to Occupy Wall Street and back.
This piece includes a number of color photographs, an HD version of the full movie and the documentary, “A Day in the Life: Girl Talk.”
