Originally produced by Films We Like in 2022.This documentary explores the life and revolutionary work of Nam June Paik, a Korean-American artist often hailed as the “father of video art.” Through archival footage, personal letters, and narrations by Steven Yeun, the film follows Paik’s journey from his childhood in Japanese-occupied Korea to his prominence in the global art scene, where he collaborated with icons like John Cage, Joseph Beuys, and Merce Cunningham.

It is perhaps the most popular poster on student dorm walls from Beijing to Boston.Painted in Vienna around 1908, the evocative image of an unknown embracing couple has captivated viewers with its mystery, sensuality and dazzling materials ever since it was created. But just what lies behind the appeal of the painting – and just who was the artist that created it? Delving into the details of real gold, decorative designs, symbolism and simmering erotica, a close study of the painting takes us to the remarkable turn of the century Vienna when a new world was battling with the old.

How To Come Alive With Norman Mailer. by Zimbalist, Jeff,film director.; Mailer, Norman,actor.; Kino Lorber (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Norman MailerOriginally produced by Kino Lorber in 2023.HOW TO COME ALIVE WITH NORMAN MAILER explores the rollercoaster life of America’s most controversial and bestselling author of the 20th century, Norman Mailer. Propelled by his tremendous ego and contrarian spirit, Mailer’s ceaseless visibility in the public eye lasted 6 decades, during which he had 6 tumultuous marriages, 9 beloved children, 11 bestsellers, 3 arrests, and 2 Pulitzer Prizes. Prophet, hedonist, violent criminal, literary outlaw, and social provocateur, Mailer’s ideas about love, anger, fear, and courage cut to the core of human nature, are more relevant than ever today, and point to a prescription for waking ourselves up, shaking free of society’s expectations, and coming alive as a people.The first project with full access to Mailer’s family and their archive, the film unearths a treasure trove of intimate and never-before-seen footage, outtakes, audio recordings, and interviews from throughout his life. Mailer lays himself bare, foibles and all. As a lover, fighter, rabble-rouser, and perhaps the last true American public intellectual, he seeks most of all to become a bolder, better human being and encourages us to do the same — to think adventurously, speak fearlessly, and care less about the response… or risk a doomed future.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
