"This film follows one day in the heroic struggle of the Soviet people against the German Fascist invaders." A Day of War (Den voyny), a chronicle of total war filmed on all fronts as well as at the rear, was produced by the Central Studio of Documentary Films; shot by 160 newsreel cameramen on June 13, 1942, the 356th day of the Great Patriotic War; superbly assembled by M. Slutsky; and released on October 22, 1942. Its cameramen were informed of the actual date of shooting only two days before work commenced.

The twisted-but-true stories of established communities and social circles turned upside down by the presence of a single newcomer, leading to murders that slowly reveal not everyone is who they seem.

Documentary of their extraordinary adventure on a round-the-world yacht race and the disastrous capsize that nearly claimed their lives. The most famous Maxi class racing yacht of her generation, was the vision of pop star Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran, who fulfilled a dream when he took up the challenge of sailing the 1985 Whitbread Round The World Race.

While it’s hard to imagine how much Flesh Gordon was something of a UFO in the 70’s underground film landscape, this excellent documentary will put it into context, inviting us to discover the secrets behind the myth, and finally clarify the rumours about a hypothetical pornographic version. But Christian Genzel’s work goes beyond the simple retrospective making-off by taking as a guiding theme the career of director Howard Ziehm. In front of the camera, the one who revolutionised adult films by adding screenplays, looks back to a time that is now past, making us discover a whole part of the history of cinema too often despised.

An account of the preparations for the staging of Régis Debray’s Notes on Gramsci directed by Stanisław Tym. A group of international students gathered at Warsaw’s 'Stodoła' club discuss philosophy and politics accompanied by the music of Włodzimierz Nahorny’s quartet.

First of all, the music. The music in Night and Day by Gianni Castaglioni is in the repetitive rhythm of the images, usually very rapid (with some suddenly slowed down, figements, yet with a fiery intensity). And as each shot, (brief like those of Mekas or Brakhage), moves,; as the camera moves to the nervous rhythm of a wrist, the music becomes a sort of Free Jazz — and not only visually, since the soundtrack is composed of piano frenzies à la Elton John. The extreme close-ups that sprinkle this sort of intimate journal and which are among the most admirable - as well as the most rapid - ever made in cinema, don’t float adrift like the film’s music through a hundred flowing veins.
