War in Cinema Territory
70 years have passed since the Great Patriotic War, the smoke of cruelty and hatred between the warring parties has cleared. A film about German and Soviet cameramen who worked on the Eastern Front. The war was, as it were, turned upside down in the cameras' lenses and reflected the interests and feelings not of the people filming, but the interests of officials and ideologists of the warring parties. The film is about how important it was to remain human on both sides of the front, even in the unbearable conditions of the war. And German, and Soviet, and, especially, a man with a camera in his hands.

Criminal Injustice: Death and Politics at Attica
Criminal Injustice: Death and Politics at Attica
Forty years after the bloodiest one-day encounter between Americans since the Civil War, the dead remain buried along with the truth. Until now. Based on interviews with eyewitnesses who just now are telling their stories, as well as access to newly discovered documents, the film sheds new light on exactly what happened at Attica between September 9-13, 1971. Criminal Injustice raises compelling new questions about the 39 deaths at Attica, White House involvement, and the corrupting influence of Nelson Rockefeller’s political aspirations before, during, and long after the deadly retaking of the prison. Former hostage Michael Smith said that “the cover up started as soon as the shooting stopped.” This film reveals that the truth actually may have been concealed long before that.
