Join Claude Monet in his adventures through his enchanted garden at Giverny as he learns to celebrate the spirit of sharing and the magic of children at play. When Monet's selfish gardener bans the children from playing in the lush gardens, spring refuses to come and a harsh and tireless frost prevails. Monet is confused about why his beloved garden remains cold and lifeless and grows depressed having nothing beautiful left to paint. One day, the children, led by a remarkable little boy, sneak back into the garden, spreading bursts of spring everywhere. But the little boy who warmed life back into the garden disappears as mysteriously as he came. It will be many years before Monet rediscovers the boy, and in the process discovers something even more beautiful than his gardens. Inspired by one of Oscar Wilde's classic fairy tales and set inside some of Monet's most stunning paintings, In Winter Still is a feast for the eyes and imagination.

A Thing Of Wonder The Mind and Matter of Jerry Andrus
microcinemadvd.com Magician, inventor and poet Jerry Andrus (1918-2007) has an insatiable appetite for uncovering the mysteries of life on the boundary between reason and illusion. Seen here wandering through his Albany, Oregon, “Castle of Chaos,” he demonstrates his incredible inventions (such as the Tri-Zonal Space Warper), and waxes philosophic on the subjects of reason, perception, God, and what he calls “the curse of contentment.” Reflecting not only his creative genius, but also his principled lifestyle and profound involvement with the problems of human existence, A THING OF WONDER pays tribute to a man devoted equally to the science and magic of wonder.

Filmmaker Jack Bond and Salvador Dali got together at Christmas 1965 to make Dali in New York, a highly entertaining film.

Everybody is my slave.â Dali recalls his meeting with Freud, âThe last human relationship everâ About his wife, âBut for Gala I would be lying in a gutter somewhere covered with liceâ Jim Desmond's dazzling cinematography captures the great artist painting as Flamenco virtuoso Manitas de Plata performs.

To get this DVD: www.microcinemadvd.com Award-winning director Damian Pettigrew (Fellini: I'm a Born Liar) offers this definitive portrait of Balthus, a modern artist whose work was nonetheless out of step with most modern movements. His huge canvases with their thickly applied paint feature dreamy adolescent girls in enigmatic poses, resulting in an erotically charged and oddly disorienting style. Pettigrew's beautifully composed documentary highlights the painter's complex creative pocess as he films the artist at work on his studio in the Swiss mountains. Famous friends and family members bare witness to the great artist's life in exclusive interviews, accompanied by photos by such luminaries as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Irving Penn. This is a rare insider's look at one of the 20th century's most intriguing painters. Two shorts complement the film with interpretations of the great man's work and artistic process.
To buy the DVD, go to: http://www.microcinemadvd.com/product/DVD/910/William_Eggleston_Photographer.html William Eggleston was born in Memphis, Tennessee and grew up in a wealthy family in Mississippi. He is considered a pioneer of modern color photography. He achieved early fame with a one-man show at the New York Museum of Modern Art. The show's title was unpretentious and to the point: “Color Photographs by William Eggleston.” The photographs, which were taken in Memphis and Mississippi, showed everyday motifs as well as friends and family of the photographer. Prints were made using Eggleston's characteristic dye transfer process. Although panned by critics and widely misunderstood, the exhibition marked the beginning of modern color photography. Eggleston influenced generations of young photographers, artists and filmmakers including Jürgen Teller, Andreas Gursky, Sofia Coppola, Gus van Sant and David Lynch. The film documents how Eggleston came to develop his technique of art ...

The first volume in The Weird Tale Collection contains some excellent adaptations of horror author Robert W. Chambers' work including Aaron Vanek's award winning short feature film inspired by the short story "The Yellow Sign" in the book The King in Yellow. In the movie, a young art gallery owner, Tess Reardon (played by Little Giants star Shawna Waldron), is looking for new talent to spark life into her failing business. Haunted by nightmares, she discovers that an artist she dreamt about, Aubrey Scott, actually exists, and she seeks him out. The eccentric painter agrees to a showing of his art, but only if Tess will model for his new work. She grudgingly agrees and begins to regress into a past life from a parallel world, and that everything is not at all as it seems.
To buy the DVD, go to: www.microcinemadvd.com Made in 1929, Un Chien Andalou (The Andalusian Dog) is regarded as the first film produced purely from within the Surrealist Movement, and a landmark in the history of cinema.

What follows is one of the most shocking and celebrated sequences in film history - a razor slashing a woman's eye in extreme close up... Intended to provoke rather than to please (Bunuel saw it as 'nothing more than a desperate, a passionate appeal to murder'), Un Chien Andalou is a triumph of art and a hysterically dark joy ride whose power to affront the viewer is undiminished after more than three quarters of a century. Further Information: Special Features: -A Slice of Buñuel: a documentary featuring Buñuel's son, Juan-Luis, 16 min -Epilogue: Buñuel & Dali Bonus Interview, 5 min -Audio Commentary by ...
