Emotional History: The Making of 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being'

2006 • 30 min

Milan Kundera's rambling novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being, though greatly admired, was thought by Hollywood studio executives to be "unfilmable." Director Philip Kaufman and producer Saul Zaentz proved them wrong. Emotional History follows Kaufman and Zaentz as they enlist the help of screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière and legendary film editor Walter Murch to turn the Kundera novel into an imaginative exploration of politics and eroticism, set against the backdrop of the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia. Our documentary goes in-depth to discover how indelible moments in the film - Lena Olin kneeling on a dressing mirror; Russian tanks invading Prague; Juliette Binoche photographing her boyfriend's nude mistress; became a part of cinematic history.

Riaad Moosa: Strictly Halaal

2006 • 60 min

This is my first ever one man show. I did it YEARS ago. It's the full show. I called it 'Strictly Halaal', which was quite an unusual title for a comedy show back in the day. Up til that point, our ensemble comedy audiences were homogeneously white. When I started doing my one man shows, suddenly the scarves, kurtas and beards started coming out to the comedy shows. It seems like a lifetime ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. But looking at the suit I was swimming in, a part of me would rather forget.
