Kedi (Turkish for cat) is a documentary style movie following the lives of some of the many thousands of stray cats roaming the streets of Istanbul. The film concentrates on seven of these cats and their interactions with the humans in their lives. Some of the cats are almost completely wild whilst others allow a much closer relationship with the people around them. The cat’s eye level of the film is interspersed with interviews with the humans that have come to love and care for each of the cats reflecting on the personalities and foibles of each cat! This is a fascinating film – it not only gives an amazing window into the lives of cats but also allows a glimpse of the city of Istanbul and its culture. My cat loved it too!

2007-03-03This documentary brings alive a remarkable artist’s passionate journey through a turbulent century. Both epic and surprisingly intimate, the film presents a classic American immigrant saga, an inspiring search for artistic independence, and a great romance. Along the way, Biberman's growing commitment to social justice and struggle against McCarthy-era repression (his brother, director Herbert Biberman, went to prison as one of The Hollywood Ten) combine with his efforts to create both a loving family life and a groundbreaking body of work. With its grand scope, rich personalities, and vast array of breathtaking artwork, Brush With Life connects us in a deeply personal way to a brilliant artist who lived by the same high standards he set for his paintings.Microcosmos

1999-12-31Throughout the Islamic world, each year hundreds of women are shot, stabbed, strangled or burned to death by male relatives because they are thought to have “dishonoured” their families. They may have lost their virginity, refused an arranged marriage or left an abusive husband. Even if a woman is raped or merely the victim of gossip, she must pay the price. Crimes of Honour documents the terrible reality of femicide – the belief that a girl’s body is the property of the family, and any suggestion of sexual impropriety must be cleansed with her blood. We meet women in hiding from their families, a brother who describes his reasons for killing the sister he loved, and a handful of women who have committed themselves to the protection of young women in danger of losing their lives.Classified People
