Traces the Beats from Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac's meeting in 1944 at Columbia University to the deaths of Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs in 1997.

Their movement connects with bebop, John Cage's music, abstract expressionism, and living theater. In recent interviews, Ginsberg, Burroughs, Kesey, Ferlinghetti, Mailer, Jerry Garcia, Tom Hayden, Gary Snyder, Ed Sanders, and others measure the Beats' meaning and impact. close

Picture by National Geographic. The Da Vinci Code Uncovered is a tale of secret societies, amazing revelations and chilling conspiracies. The film is based on Dan Brown’s famous novel The Da Vinci Code.
Ever since the book was published, readers have wondered whether this story really has a true background. Did Mary Mandalene and Jesus Christ marry, live happily ever after, and have children? Is it true that the code that protects the “kind of Christ” is actually hidden in the paintings of the great Leonardo da Vinci? The filmmakers, if possible, objectively tried to tell the viewer about the available facts, as well as unobtrusively express their individual point of view. close

The life and work of Robert Frank—as a photographer and a filmmaker—are so intertwined that they're one in the same, and the vast amount of territory he's covered, from The Americans in 1958 up to the present, is intimately registered in his now-formidable body of artistic gestures. From the early '90s on, Frank has been making his films and videos with the brilliant editor Laura Israel, who has helped him to keep things homemade and preserve the illuminating spark of first contact between camera and people/places. Don't Blink is Israel's like-minded portrait of her friend and collaborator, a lively rummage sale of images and sounds and recollected passages and unfathomable losses and friendships that leaves us a fast and fleeting imprint of the life of the Swiss-born man who reinvented himself the American way, and is still standing on ground of his own making at the age of 90. close
