Film 'GO' is part of the installation “Unity in Diversity”, an inspiration for the project was David Zambrano’s dance workshop in Costa Rica, 2010. During 50 days 50 dancers and choreographers were practising two dance techniques: “Passing Through” and “Flying Low”. Inspiring message and practising of these techniques become the subject for installation that include photography and a documentary. My aim was to illustrate mainly the “Passing Through” technique, which base on working on instant composition. This technique reflects not only in a dance room but also in everyday life, by teaching us freedom of thought and developing individual’s awareness, so as to become an element of the whole group’s awareness. Following this idea I created an installation that contain large prints with images of dancers in their dynamic motion. The installation is accompanied by a documentary, which introduces the viewer in to the story about constant movements in nature, in which we are put into. close

Renowned documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker captures Otis Redding in his ascendancy, singing at the historic Monterey International Pop Festival in June 1967. Comedian Tom Smothers introduces Redding to a crowd that is leaving -- until Redding grabs them with his charged rendition of "Shake." Redding's performance also includes "Respect" (which he wrote), "I've Been Loving You Too Long," "Satisfaction," and "Try a Little Tenderness." Tragically, Redding died in a plane crash six months later. An innovative filmmaker who started in the 1950s making experimental films, Pennebaker garnered an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary Feature in 1993 for The War Room, his behind-the-scenes look at Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign. His other subjects have included Norman Mailer, Bob Dylan, and David Bowie. close

The stooges are working in a radio station where a pretty girl has just made a recording of "Voices of Spring" under an assumed name. She wants to hide her singing career from her disapproving society parents while auditioning for Mrs. Bixby's "Krispy Krunchy" radio program. After a run-in with a pompous violinist, the boys find the record and Curly starts mimicking to it, dressed as a women. Mrs. Bixby witnesses their performance and is impressed enough to hire "Senorita Cucaracha" (Curly) and Senors "Mucho" and "Gusto" (Moe and Larry) for her radio program. The boys show up in their disguises to "sing" at a Mrs. Bixby's party but run into trouble when Moe smashes the record over Curly's head. The real singer tries to help by singing from behind a curtain while Curly mimics, but she is discovered and the stooges exit to a hail of phonograph records. close
