The Wrecking Crew! [videorecording] / by Tedesco, Denny.; Lunch Box Entertainment.; Magnolia Home Entertainment (Firm); Video Service Corp.;
Narrator: Denny Tedesco.Profiles the group of Los Angeles studio musicians known as the Wrecking Crew -- featuring Tommy Tedesco, guitar; Hal Blaine, Earl Palmer drums ; Carol Kaye, Joe Osborne, bass -- who played on a slew of rock and pop hits during the sixties. Gifted, versatile and possessing the knack for turning a simple tune into something memorable, the Wrecking Crew were the players who turned the Wall of Sound in Phil Spector's head into a reality, and helped Brian Wilson create the musical vision that would redefine California pop. The Wrecking Crew also backed up everyone from Sonny and Cher, the Mamas and the Papas and the Monkees to Herb Alpert, Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra, but while they became legends in the music business, they were all but unknown to the millions of people who made their records some of the biggest hits of the day. Filmmaker Denny Tedesco -- whose father Tommy was a member of the Wrecking Crew and perhaps the most recorded guitarist in history -- brings the free-wheeling story of the most famous musicians you've never heard of to the screen with the documentary The Wrecking Crew, which includes interviews with Cher, Brian Wilson, Nancy Sinatra, Roger McGuinn, Mickey Dolenz, Dick Clark and many more.Canadian Home Video Rating: PG.DVD, widescreen; NTSC, region 1; Dolby Digital.

Geoff Dixon: Portraits of Us. by O'Leary, Clare,film director.; Giles, Glenis,film director.; Ronin Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Ronin Films in 2022.Geoff Dixon’s art reflects his vision for our future unless we take immediate action – he was working as a conservationist long before the word became part of our everyday vocabulary. His paintings are rich with colour, commentary, and a challenge to all of us to wake up and think about the future of our wildlife, our flora and fauna, our country and our planet. New Zealand-born and now living and working in Australia, in north Queensland, Geoff grew up and found/discovered his sexuality in the conservative Christchurch of the early seventies. The film introduces us to the people who influenced him and who believed in him over the years. We find out about his travels, his ups and downs, what led to his strong sense of the environment and why the symbols of bird life have come to inhabit his paintings. Geoff’s work celebrates the birds we have around us, as well as those that are on the verge of extinction in Australasia, and reflects on the state of our ecology. He says that the paintings are, at the same time, ‘portraits of us’. The film also explores his close relationship over many years with the late Australian Indigenous artist, Arone Meeks.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Beck, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jack Black, Jack White, Michel Gondry, Spike JonzeOriginally produced by Cargo Film & Releasing in 2023.If Georges Méliès had a modern-day heir, it would be Michel Gondry. A brilliant, eccentric jack-of-all-trades, Gondry’s unique DIY talent drew the creative elite of global pop music—Björk, The Rolling Stones, Daft Punk, The White Stripes, Beck, Paul McCartney — who trusted his madcap visions to redefine the music video forever. He then blazed his own trail in Hollywood, all while maintaining his signature offbeat style and artistic integrity, earning him an Oscar for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This film is a rare and personal window into the mind and career of a singular artist who celebrates wonder and imagination on his own terms. At its core, Gondry’s DIY artistry offers a deeply humanist ambition and stands as a political act.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
