"San Base: Supernatural" is EXCLUSIVELY DISTRIBUTED by Microcinema DVD. To order this DVD and/or other Microcinema titles, go to: www.microcinemadvd.com. Canadian artist San Base is a pioneer of a new medium of Art that utilizes the classical elements of painting and music, while harnessing the power of computer technology to bring two drastically different disciplines together. He named this kind of art "Dynamic Painting". Dynamic Paintings are composed of abstract images in a state of perpetual transformation. The basic idea of the painting remains unchanged, while the computer introduces infinite variations. The picture is living its own life with objects moving and transforming but still following the original artist's concept. Dynamic Paintings can provide a form of visual stimulation that evokes changes in physiological activity to improve health and performance. It is a great outlet for relaxation, meditation and spiritual awareness and stimulate a variety of emotional and mental states that can help alleviate anxiety and treat stress.

"Objectified" is a Plexifilm release now available through Microcinema DVD. To order this DVD and/or other titles distributed by Microcinema, go to: www.microcinemadvd.com. 'Objectified' is a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. In his second film, director Gary Hustwit ('Helvetica') documents the creative processes of some of the world’s most influential product designers, and looks at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. 'Objectified' profiles the people who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis, including designers for companies like Apple, BMW, Muji, IKEA, Vitra, and more. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability. What can we learn about who we are, and who we want to be, from the objects with which we surround ourselves? "You'll never look at your next toothbrush (or your next any product) in quite the same way after watching this astute, elegant inquiry into the purpose and process of industrial design." – Entertainment Weekly (Grade: A) Please check out and join Microcinema on other social networking sites: Facebook: http://facebook.com/microcinema MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/microcinemainternational Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/microcinema Twitter: http://twitter.com/microcinema

In Search of Mozart
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 20:53:03 10/14/09
Made to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Mozart’s birth, IN SEARCH OF MOZART is the first feature-length documentary on Mozart’s life. Produced with the world’s leading orchestras and musicians, told through a 25,000 mile journey along every route Mozart followed, this detective story takes us to the heart of genius. Without resorting to docu-drama or visual re-enactment, In Search of Mozart traces the composer’s life through his music and extensive correspondence. From K1a to K626 (Requiem), over 80 works are featured in chronological order, revealing striking parallels between the music and Mozart’s own experiences. Throughout, it is the music that takes center stage, with the jigsaw of Mozart’s life fitting around it. With rigorous analysis from musicologists and experts such as Jonathan Miller, Cliff Eisen, Nicholas Till, Bayan Northcott and the late Stanley Sadie, a new, vivid impression of the composer emerges. It dispels the many common myths about Mozart’s genius, health, relationships, death and character, to present a new image, very different from Milos Forman’s Amadeus.

Peter Weibel, Rewriter
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 16:49:07 09/14/09
This video archive with accompanying essays traces internationally-renowned media and conceptual artist Peter Weibel's artistic developments from his beginnings through 1979. Weibel started out in 1964 as a visual poet, and was soon transferring the structures of the visual culture from the page to the screen, while still retaining the model of language as one of perception. Later, he developed a critical impulse that turned not only against art but also against society and the media itself. This specific development from the page via the screen to gallery space -- all happening as early as the 1960s -- anticipated many of the trends that were later to be described as conceptual art, context art, institutional criticism, and intervention. With an accompanying booklet featuring contributions by Boris Groys, Günther Holler-Schuster, Aaron Levy, Osvaldo Romberg, and Christa Steinle.

Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 15:41:00 05/07/09
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: SAN FRANCISCO, CA., APRIL 30, 2009 - Microcinema International DVD (www.microcinema.com) today announced the acquisition of Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup (www.loosechange911.com); the latest installment in the series from director Dylan Avery and producers Matthew Brown and Korey Rowe. Loose Change (2005) and the sequels have been viewed online over 100 million times worldwide and sold nearly two million cumulative units. Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup will be available exclusively on DVD September 22, 2009. Dramatically narrated by Daniel Sunjata, currently starring on FX's critically acclaimed Rescue Me as Franco Rivera, Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup explores historical events that reshaped the world - from the Reichstag Fire in 1933 that catapulted Hitler to dictatorship - to the Gulf of Tonkin Incident in 1964 that led to the Vietnam War. The film leads the audience through a roller-coaster of pivotal history before delving into the largest event of all - 9/11. The film analyzes the steps America took in the aftermath of the disaster, and the suspicious events that followed. Filmmaker Dylan Avery's vision and hope is for those affected by 9/11 to receive the answers they seek. He asks for a fundamental call to action, as displayed in the previous Loose Change films, and supports the 9/11 truth movement by seeking honesty and clarity from those who have covered up actual events. A topic that inspires passion among many, the producers are actively seeking celebrities to be a voice for those whose questions have remained unanswered to date. "The American people are still living in the aftermath of 9/11 and dealing with the repercussions," said Dylan Avery, writer and director. "With a new administration in office, information is being revealed almost on a daily basis. With this film it is our hope that answers will be revealed and questions will continue to be asked." Microcinema International holds the exclusive worldwide distribution rights for Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup.

"Split Sides" feat. music by Radiohead & Sigur RĂłs
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 17:15:15 04/14/09
"Split Sides - Merce Cunningham Dance Company" is EXCLUSIVELY DISTRIBUTED by Microcinema DVD. To order this DVD and/or other Microcinema titles, go to: www.microcinemadvd.com Merce Cunningham’s Split Sides (2003) captures the iconic modernist choreographer’s most radical use of chance procedures. As the title implies, the piece is divided into two parts. Each 20-minute part features one of two options for the different creative elements of the piece: set design, costumes, lighting, music, and choreography. The order in which each element appears during a given performance is determined by an onstage dice roll before the performance, captured on full screen for the live audience. There are thus 32 possible combinations for any performance of Split Sides. In addition to Merce Cunningham’s two choreographic segments, the work features two set designs (one by Robert Heishman and one by Catherine Yass), two sets of costumes (by James Hall), and two lighting plots (by James F. Ingalls). Original scores, composed specifically for this collaboration by the British alternative rock group Radiohead and the Icelandic experimentalist group Sigur Rós, offer the two choices of music. This two-disc DVD set, by giving viewers the opportunity to alternate soundtracks, presents 4 of the 32 possible variations of the work. Filmmaker Charles Atlas masterfully captures the dance with Merce close at his side. Cunningham calls the films Split Sides 45 and Split Sides 46, because they capture the 45th and 46th performances of this epic collaboration.

"Frank Lloyd Wright's Home and Studio" is EXCLUSIVELY DISTRIBUTED by Microcinema DVD. To order this DVD and/or other Microcinema titles, go to: www.microcinemadvd.com Beauty, Wright believed, stands paramount among all aspects of life. He sought it in everything from music, poetry, and sculpture, to his own environments. He conceived organic architecture an innovative philosophy of building appropriate to time, appropriate to place, and appropriate to man as a basis for creating beauty in his life and the lives of his clients. Wright embarked on this approach with the first residence and workplace he designed for himself: the Home and Studio in Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago. For two decades, it served not only as his own family residence but an experimental laboratory where he envisioned and tested many of the basic principles that he would develop throughout his career, principles now synonymous with organic architecture. The Home and Studio represents a critical link in fully appreciating Wright s body of work.
