My Imaginary Country. by Guzmán, Patricio,film director.; Icarus Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;

Originally produced by Icarus Films in 2022.One day, without warning, a revolution exploded. It was the event that master documentarian Patricio Guzmán had been waiting for all his life: a million and a half people in the streets of Santiago, Chile, demanding justice, education, health care, and a new constitution to replace the strident rules imposed on the country during the Pinochet military dictatorship. Urgent and inspired, MY IMAGINARY COUNTRY features harrowing front-line protest footage and interviews with dynamic activist leaders and powerfully connects Chile's complex, bloody history to contemporary revolutionary social movements and the election of a new president.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Stories of A. by Belmont, Charles,film director.; Issartel, Marielle,film director.; Icarus Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;

Originally produced by Icarus Films in 1973.Shot in Paris in 1973, this feminist film on the fight for abortion rights was banned as soon it was released. A large-scale game of hide-and-seek ensued, as activists created an underground distribution network, hiding the film from the police — and creating an effective model for cinema as an act of civil disobedience in the process. Recently restored, STORIES OF A is both a fascinating historical document, and a reminder of the critical importance of access to abortion.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

The Falling Star. by Abel, Dominique,film director.; Gordon, Fiona,film director.; Romy, Bruno,actor.; Abel, Dominique,actor.; Gordon, Fiona,actor.; Ito, Kaori,actor.; Martz, Philippe,actor.; Kino Lorber (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;

Bruno Romy, Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon, Kaori Ito, Philippe MartzOriginally produced by Kino Lorber in 2023.Fiona Gordon and Dominique Abel (The Fairy, Lost in Paris) delight audiences with their blend of slapstick and burlesque. Their latest “crime movie” transmutes the codes of film noir through their characteristically colorful palette and clownish plot twists. Abel plays Boris, a former activist hiding from his dark past, keeping in the shadows as a barkeeper, until a one-armed vigilante finally hunts him down. The fortuitous appearance of a double—the depressive recluse Dom (also played by Abel) seems to offer the perfect decoy. But his tenacious and loopy ex-wife, the private eye Fiona (Gordon), could foil their master plan. Abel and Gordon’s memorable dose of hilarity seems perfectly calibrated to the social mood; each deceptively minimalistic set piece brims with a cinematic intelligence that recalls Tati and Keaton. The cast features Philippe Martz and Bruno Romy and the Japanese dancer Kaori Ito, who plays a willful and hilariously unpredictable femme fatale.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
