Rangers FC: Battle of Britain - Rule Britannia

Rangers FC: Battle of Britain - Rule Britannia

1999 • 60 min • United Kingdom
These were the European Cup matches everyone wanted to - the Champions of Scotland versus the Champions of England - the Battle of Britain! Now you can relive over and over again Leeds' stunning opening goal at Ibrox which was superbly overturned twice as Rangers and over 40,000 fanatical supporters roared into the English Champions. Even that superb night, however, was surpassed as Rangers went on to produce their finest 90 minutes to break the hearts of Leeds United. All the magic of that evening from Hateley's devastating opener to Ally's fantastic header for the second goal is captured forever. This specially packaged 60-minute film features all the highlights plus exclusive interviews with players and manager Walter Smith. Adding to the pleasure is the English television commentary which refuses to believe that the pride of England is out of Europe.

1999 • 11 min
In this unique document, Jacobs demonstrates one of his live, multi-projection "Nervous System" film performances in real time. (The Nervous System performances feature a unique double-analysis projector set-up, deriving 3-D from standard 2-D film, most often with archival and other found footage.) Jacobs' own narration guides the viewer through his manipulations and performance strategies, revealing his cinematic shorthand in this brief improvisation on an archival film from 1900.
Bubble House

Bubble House

1999 • 7 min
While documenting the decayed hull of the Teignmouth Electron, my companion and I drove up the other road on the hurricane coast of the small island and came across the Bubble House. Deserted and half-complete, it was built by a Frenchman who, according to the people of the island, embezzled money from the American government and was now doing 35 years in Tampa prison for fraud. Both boat and house were welcome neglect on an otherwise over pampered island and sit side by side in this exhibition as they do on Cayman Brac.

Turn the Page

Turn the Page

1999 • 15 min • Sweden, United States of America
In this short film, Ginger Lynn Allen plays the night club stripper/prostitute who is trying to raise her 12 year old daughter. We see daily scenes from her daily life. We hear the story both from the daughter's point of view and her mother's. The mother who is over 35 says she always wanted to be rock star. Her daughter indistinctly and unconsciously questions his mother's way of raising her. For instance, she says things sort of "my mother tells me that I should never start smoking but she smokes a lot" while her mother is smoking as her daughter is asleep or "my mother tells me not to watch a lot of TV because there is too much garbage on TV but she just watches TV more than I do." Ginger Lynn Allen's acting is quite good. Her striptease polo dance and the brutal sex she had to suffer at the end of the movie are among the most memorable scenes of the movie. I guess these scenes could have been more careful if the movie had not been shot in documentary-like voice-over.

Classic Albums: Phil Collins - Face Value

1999 • 50 min • Belgium, United Kingdom
A rare and welcome insight into Phil Collins' prodigious musical talent and the fascinating story of his first solo record. Collins first enjoyed international success as the drummer of Genesis and then as lead singer after Peter Gabriel left the band. In 1981, however, Face Value launched him as a solo artist and remains, in many ways, his most exciting and unusual music offering. Face Value was immediately a worldwide hit, entering the British charts at Number 1, spending almost six years in the Top 75, and selling in excess of 12 million copies. The album went on to make the U.S. Top 10, earning a gold record. This documentary includes several previously unseen performances, as well as rare home movies, unique photographs and documents from Phil's own private archives, and insights into the music from an eclectic range of musicians who worked on the album.

Jimi Hendrix: Live at Woodstock

Jimi Hendrix: Live at Woodstock

1999 • 57 min • United States of America
Nine o'clock on Monday morning, August 18, 1969: while the work force was starting the day, Jimi Hendrix was taking the stage at Woodstock. While hundreds of thousands had already left, 25,000 people remained to see this incredible performance. Hendrix, along with drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Billy Cox, offered masterly renditions of the songs of the recently disbanded Experience ("Hey Joe," "Foxey Lady"), and gave a preview of the blues-based Band of Gypsys ("Izabella," "Hear My Train A Comin'"), as well as Jimi's era-defining rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner." Though the weekend had witnessed some landmark performances by other great artists, this performance from Hendrix is regarded by many as the defining moment in a festival ripe with defining moments.
