The Train / The Two Faces of China

For several months, Donovan Wylie traveled across Russia with a group of Orthodox priests who were hoping to solidify the faith of believers that might have lapsed during communism, or might have succumbed to Protestant evangelical missionaries. Wylie encounters some extraordinary personalities both on and off the train while creating a portrait of a country and a culture moving in several different directions simultaneously.

Photographer René Burri arrived in China in the mid-60s to make a film about the struggle between the culture's traditional values and the demands of the Marxist state. By the end of his shoot, the Cultural Revolution was in full sway, answering the question of tradition vs. modernity with an often bloody overhaul of a society as radical as the world had ever seen. A true document of an extraordinary - and extraordinarily tense - moment in modern Chinese history.

Misery Loves Company: The Life and Death of Bruce Gilden / My Father's Memory by Patrick Zackmann

The idea of "street photography," taking one's camera out into the world and shooting whatever catches one's attention, took on a special twist in the work of Bruce Gilden. His photographs are often records of his confrontations with his subjects, and the tension of the moment is as much a part of the final product as the light and shadows. Gideon Gold caught up with the wisecracking Gilden - described as a Damon Runyon of photographers - and provided a platform for Gilden to talk about his life, work, and ideas about photography.

Land Of Silence And Darkness / La Soufriere

LAND OF SILENCE AND DARKNESS (1971) What's it like to be blind and deaf? Unknowable, but in Herzog's first feature documentary, he focuses in on a middle-aged woman who tries to reach out to those similarly afflicted. "Of all of my films, this is the one I want to be available to audiences the most." - WH. Plus LA SOUFRIERE (1977) Herzog and crew head off to a Caribbean volcano about to erupt. Only trouble is, if it does, there ain't no film. "Herzog's maddest project... remains a disturbing, even intimidating, meditation on the apocalypse and a frighteningly vivid display of man's love of death." - Dave Kehr.
