A behind the scenes look at the filming of the movie Shaft (1971). The movie's director, Gordon Parks is seen directing a couple of fight scenes which he wants to get in as few takes as possible due to the set-up time and the danger involved in the stunt work. He is also seen speaking to the composer of the film score, 'Isaac Hayes', about the overlaying of the music over one of those fight scenes, and what he wants musically for another scene involving the lead character, John Shaft, moving through Times Square. The latter would eventually become the movie's iconic theme music. Being a frenetically paced action movie, he also works closely with the film's editor, Hugh A. Robertson.

The On Cinema Oscar Specials are an annual live broadcast aired simultaneously during that year's Academy Awards, usually hosted by Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington. The specials are traditionally sponsored and catered by Chaplin's Chili, with employee Hank Friedmann often appearing to promote the company. While the 1st Annual On Cinema Oscar Special was a simple livestream in front of a backdrop and television, subsequent Oscar specials used a larger set with multiple areas and a variety of props. A song written by Tim, "Oscar Fever", was traditionally performed each year, starting with the 2nd Annual On Cinema Oscar Special, before being retired after its final performance during the 9th Annual On Cinema Oscar Special. Additionally, Gregg usually had a grand finale planned each year, each designed to commemorate Hollywood or a certain movie.

Athina Rachel Tsangari has become one of the foremost figures of the so-called “Greek Weird Wave”—a movement characterized by its fascination with human behavior, bitingly absurdist humor, and arresting visual style—both as a director and as a producer for contemporaries such as Yorgos Lanthimos. Her films, however, showcase a bold vision that goes way beyond the merely “weird,” offering a provocative perspective on family, sexuality, power dynamics, and the inherent strangeness of human interaction. In this original documentary, David Thompson travels to the Greek island of Hydra to meet up with Tsangari and discuss her directorial philosophy and what it means to “live cinema.”

A documentary about the history of the Free Cinema movement, made by one of it's greatest proponents, Lindsay Anderson, to commemorate British Film Year in 1985. Produced by Kevin Brownlow and David Gill. Unlike Richard Attenborough's celebratory episode of the same series, or Alan Parker's more aggressive show, which was balanced between celebrating the greats and attacking Parker's bugbears, Greenaway and Jarman and the BFI, Anderson's show accentuates the negative, painting an image of a British cinema in terminal artistic decline and trashing the ambitions and approach of British Film Year itself. It's mordantly funny and very savage.
