With a title that`s a reference to the great underground, anti-corporate filmmaker, John Cassavetes, his documentary features gorgeous footage of performances by groups including Further, Henry`s Dress, the Hi-Fives, the Make-up, The Peeches, Sleater-Kinney, Some Velvet Sidewalk, Tullycraft, and Unwound.NR"

A Short Film About Killing (VHS)
One of director Krzysztof Kieslowski`s greatest achievements, A SHORT FILM ABOUT KILLING has become both a politically and artistically influential masterpiece. The relatively simple story about a young man, sentenced to death for his murder of a cab driver, makes an important statement about capital punishment and the fine line between victim and murderer. The technical feat undertaken to support the weight of the film`s message is astounding, including the use of six hundred different green filters by cinematographer Slavomir Idziak. Kieslowski`s final product provides not only a compelling social commentary, but also a benchmark in cinematic technique.NR"
