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"

MONTEREY POP: This documentary features live performances, behind-the-scenes and audience footage, and other selections from the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, which was considered to be the forerunner to Woodstock. The concert was organized by Alan Pariser, an L.A. rock scenester; John Phillips, singer for the Mamas and the Papas; and Lou Adler, a record producer, along with a board of musicians such as Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, Donovan, Brian Wilson, and Smokey Robinson.

JIMI PLAYS MONTEREY: A filmmaking legend meets a rock legend in this fantastic historical concert video. Documentarian D.A. Pennebaker captures master guitarist Jimi Hendrix on film at what has become one of his most renowned performances. Most fans will recognize the image that has produced a thousand posters--the red-and-orange-clad Jimi passionately setting his guitar on fire and watching it burn, with an exultant look on his face. More than just a concert film, JIMI PLAYS MONTEREY is an iconic record of 1960s rock.
