The White Dove (VHS)
Frantisek Vlacil`s debut feature, poetically photographed by Jan Curik, helped to establish the Czech New Wave as a vital force in world cinema in the 1960s. A metaphor for freedom, the inspirational drama follows the journey of an innocent carrier pigeon that affects the life of everyone it encounters in its quest to return home to its owner. Along the way, the pigeon receives care and love from a variety of individuals, all of whom are drawn to the bird`s mysteriously powerful energy.NR"

An American Werewolf in Paris (DVD)
Ahh, the City of Lights, full of marvels to tempt three boorish American backpackers: the Champs-Elysees, the Left Bank, the racist gangs of disaffected young right-wing lycanthropes. After rescuing a desperate woman from a swan dive off the Eiffel tower, a collegian discovers her scary, hairy secret--too late. The direction emphasizes the cornball humor of its predecessor, An American Werewolf in London, and a blitzkrieg of computer effects.R"

PAVAROTTI AND FRIENDS VOLUME TWO: Superstar tenor Luciano Pavarotti does an encore concert to his platinum-selling Pavarotti & Friends. Co-artists include Bryan Adams, Andreas Vollenweider and Michael Kamen, performing from a classical and contemporary repertoire. The video features seventeen songs in all, including a bonus solo aria, Il Lamento De Federico.
FOR THE CHILDREN OF BOSNIA: World-renowned tenor Luciano Pavarotti lends his beautifully powerful voice to a good cause, as he and some of his most talented friends get together in support of the displaced children of war torn Bosnia. With famous musicians like soft pop crooner Michael Bolton, Duran Duran`s Simon Le Bon, Irish folk stars the Chieftains, and U2`s Bono and The Edge at his side, Pavorotti gives heartfelt performances all the way through this 80 minute event. Much of the proceeds from this video`s sale will be donated to War Child`s Mostar Music Centre.
FOR THE CHILDREN OF LIBERIA: Warm-voiced opera tenor Luciano Pavarotti is obviously warmhearted as well, having orchestrated several concerts for various childrens`` charities. It is obvious who the proceeds of the FOR THE CHILDREN OF LIBERIA concert benefits, but not how spectacular and diverse the lineup really is. Attracting pop performers ranging from the Spice Girls to Vanessa Williams to Jon Bon Jovi (!), this concert is a veritable musical feast.
