During a photo shoot of nude women in Sudan, conceptual artist Vanessa Beecroft became obsessed with adopting two orphaned babies despite the objection of her husband and Congolese authorities. The Art Star is Kiwi filmmaker Pietra Brettkelly's nonfiction account of Beecroft's trip back to Africa during a 16-month campaign to adopt the children. "Provocative result is not a straightforward artist's profile, political commentary or domestic drama, but a poetic fusion of the three" (Variety). Nominated for the Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema Documentary at Sundance.

This unique documentary tells the story of Spider, a sprightly 80-year-old Aboriginal elder who travels from Fitzroy Crossing into the Great Sandy Desert of Western Australia to visit a jila--a sacred waterhole. Spider is one of the main custodians responsible for the practices that take place there. For the first time, he is taking his family and community elders back to his birthplace, where he will communicate with their ancestors through Kurtal, the Snake Spirit, in an ancient ritual. The film examines the ongoing change faced by a remote Aboriginal community and their determination to maintain their close links to birthplace and country. It shows the passing on of traditional knowledge from father to son and grandson, and the vital and sustained Nicole Ma/Michelle Mahrer---Australia---2003---28 mins.

We like that Eric Bana. He's a good actor and a hard-body. But he's also a bit on the bland side, isn't he? Well, it turns out the Aussie actor is way into muscle cars, so much so that he made this documentary about classic cars, their collectors, enthusiasts, racing drivers, and his own 25-year-strong relationship with a 1974 Ford Falcon, aka "The Beast."
