Chris Farley: Anything for a Laugh

In 1976 the pianist, entertainer and one of the biggest stars of the day, published a coffee table book about his collection of homes, jewellery and costumes called The Things I Love. This DVD is nothing more-nor-less than precisely that, as told to the acclaimed film-maker Tony Palmer. Liberace himself takes us on a guided tour of his Hollywood and Palm Springs homes and his treasured possessions.

A documentary about the sport of boxing, as seen through the eyes of champions Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Bernard Hopkins.

Women and men of different generations are re-united in Montevideo as they remember their years of exile in France, Mexico, Spain and Switzerland. They realize that eleven after years of military dictatorship, Uruguay is not the same as the country they left and they missed so much. After their return from exile they find themselves in situations that seem like another kind of exile, which is perhaps in some ways more painful. They connect with what they feel deep inside, and they recognise that they share these experiences with others and have a collective history.

The first documentary about the little-known world of transvestites in Montevideo. We are shown the most complicated facets of these people, their consciousness of themselves, and their perceptions of the world and of life. We learn about their everyday (and every night) experiences, and how they cope with the bigotry and old fashioned attitudes that are all around.

This documentary rescues from oblivion an experience of cultural resistance during the Uruguayan dictatorship. Education conceived in another way: creation, freedom, expression. A film course for children organized by the Uruguayan Cinemateca. An experience that awakened vocations, or created them. Thirty years later, several referents of Uruguayan culture revive the experience that united them as children, and that forever marked a generation of creators.

Future comes now and in the next second, like waves; while the photography stays at the depth where the wave no longer moves the water particles. This depth is equal to about one half the distance between me and my grandfather. The distance between us is called a wavelength.

Anchored to the heart of the King’s Cross redevelopment in London, the film takes the viewpoint of an arbitrary surveillance camera to trace the many flows of a privately-managed but public-facing square.

Starting with what seems to be a trivial security check procedure at the entrance to the Tel Aviv airport, the film explores a more deeply engraved border, albeit an invisible one, a border that marks our oral cavity and defines the sounds and words we can pronounce.

Dunkirk to D-Day in 20 minutes flat: this gripping account of Britain's war effort compels us to sit up and pay attention. A 'total war' is one encompassing civilian as well as military life. Here we witness the might of the state mobilising technology, infrastructure, agriculture, industry and above all people. A rapid-fire onslaught of images and information palpably evokes the experience of total war.

After surviving three years as victims of sex trafficking, sisters Iris and Dulce recall their experience, reflecting on such topics as female companionship, re-meaning their bodies, and restoring dignity to their lives.

After the meat industry workers stop receiving 2 kilograms of meat a day as a part of their salary, they organize the biggest strike in Uruguayan history. Images of farms. Meeting at the workers' society. Relations between the Uruguayan economic and political leaders and the United States. Scenes of decay and misery. Workers' demonstrations. Clashes between police and demonstrators.
