Films to be released include five foreign-language documentaries under the title "Broken Silence" by some well-known international directors, which involve interviews and film clips from the foundation's archives.
In the United States, Pare Lorentz made dramatic documentaries about soil erosion and the Dust Bowl, such as The Plow That Broke the Plains (1936) and The River (1937), during the era of the Great Depression, and, during World War II, Frank Capra, who had been an outstanding director of Hollywood comedies, made a series of documentaries under the title Why We Fight.
This program, for children 8 and older, includes excerpts from the documentary of the title, a work in progress about the complicated, cross-cultural efforts involved in creating "Rechov SumSum/Shara'a SimSim," or "Sesame Stories," a version of "Sesame Street" consisting of parallel series for Israeli, Palestinian and Jordanian children.
The original European edition also included a second disc: a "Making-of" DVD video featuring trailers, an artwork gallery and a documentary on the title's development.
The scandal is so large that it led to both a book and accompanying PBS documentary under the title, "League of Denial".
The two-hour special-features documentary, as the title suggests, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the final eight episodes--fans will get to know the crew, will see how prone to crying Aaron Paul really is, and just how much of a potty-mouth Dean Norris has.
Anthology was the culmination of work begun in 1970, when Apple Corps director Neil Aspinall, their former road manager and personal assistant, had started to gather material for a documentary with the working title The Long and Winding Road.
If HBO's intent is to showcase shocking documentaries, the three aforementioned titles fit the criteria -- and so does "Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck," which airs Monday night following a rapturous premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January and a limited theatrical release last month.
Ms. Yokoshi interweaves these documentary aspects (hence the "DDD" of the title, for documentary-dance-drama) with poetic extracts of pure movement, some of which involve the manipulation of a large, rectangular frame through which the dancers run, crawl or jump.
You can't call this documentary objective (everybody adores the title character), but it's entertaining to see A-list luminaries like Mr. Allen, Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese sing Kubrick's praises.
