 Kedma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kedma is a 2002 Israeli film directed by Amos Gitai and starring Andrei Kashkar and Helena Yaralova.
The film Kedma is a historical tragedy reenacted through the visions of fictional characters.
Set in 1948, the film begins by showing refugees aboard a freight named Kedma, meaning “toward the orient.” The passengers, or should I say cargo, are mostly Jewish Holocaust survivors traveling from Europe to Palestine only days before the division of the Jewish homeland is established.

 Foster on Film - Animated Shorts: The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello
But then this is a short film which is long on character, plot, theme, and twisted beauty.
It may be the best example of this sub-genre committed to film, and certainly does more for its reputation than the big-budget League of Extraordinary Gentleman, the most famous recent entry.
If the sequels are anywhere near as successful as the first has been (winning numerous awards, including at the Dragon*Con Independent Short Film Festival which I not-so-coincidently run, and earning BAFTA and Academy Award nominations), then we may be seeing a feature.

 Film Theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
From that point on, especially with the expansion of film departments and faculties at institutions of higher learning, film theory and criticism proliferated at a rapid rate, and film journals became as much a place for heated debate on the issues of art and aesthetics as the learned journals were for essays on literature.
For him, film, by being freed from the constraints of real time and space as well as causality, is capable of being constructed with the free play of the viewer's mental life.
In addition to extracts from the writings of film theorists of the calibre of Eisenstein, Pudovkin, Bazin, Barthes, Metz, and Sontag, there are pieces on such perenially contentious issues auteur theory, narrative and genre, and on many key contemporary topics, including psychoanalysis, feminism, television, and the cultural impact of cinema.

 Fangoria - America's Horror Magazine
I haven't seen the film since its initial release back in my youth and was anxious for a chance to reappraise it (especially since the gorgeous print shown here looks far superior than the one I caught back in the '80s).
What still doesn't quite work for me is the film's drama, centering on a couple (David Keith and Cathy Moriarty, both very good) whose existing tensions are exacerbated by the fact that the husband is a serial killer.
Fantasia's Mitch Davis and Sono himself introduce the movie with the promise of transgression and perversion, and CIRCUS certainly delivers, spinning the tale of a young girl who is both a forced witness to and on the receiving end of her father's sexual aggressiveness.

 History of Musical Film 2000
Musical film took another turn into new territory with 8 Mile (2002), the first film to feature a hip-hop score that grew out of and played a part in the film's story line.
Dark and angry, the film delighted teen audiences that might have steered clear of a traditional musical, and the soundtrack CD topped the pop charts.
The result was that rarest of accomplishments, a film adaptation that improved on the original stage version.

 Douglas Sirk | News
Although his directorial career lasted for over 40 years, including the German films he made in the 1930s and 1970s, Douglas Sirk (1900-1987) is best known for the American melodramas he made for Universal between 1954 and 1959.
Nowadays, to describe a film as "melodramatic" is to imply that it’s over-done: the acting too "big," the music too loud, and the storyline ridiculous, if not completely implausible.
Further, prolific (and openly gay) producer Ross Hunter was behind these films and many of the others that Sirk, (the closeted) Hudson, and Turner made, whether together or separately (including Hudson’s Pillow Talk and the sub-Sirkian, Madame X, one of Turner’s last juicy roles).

Documentary film maker John Tweedy (Iwo Jima: Memories in Sand; Lieweila: a Micronesian Story) traveled to southern Ecuador in the 1990s and early 2000s to reconstruct the history of miners and other people caught in the throes of gold extraction of the South American Development Company, owned by the Vanderbilt family.
It features fl and white film of the 1920s and 1930s interspliced with poignant interviews with children and grandchildren of the original miners complemented with nostalgic popular Ecuadorian music and with the voice of the filmmaker.

 Amazon.com: Groove (2000 Film): Music: Various Artists - Soundtracks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Wade Hampton, serves as the film's music supervisor, and he comes up with a compelling mix that nicely parallels the momentum of the movie's broiling dance-floor sequences.
The movie's director, Greg Harrison, has said he intended the film to act "as an authentic document of a time in youth culture history"--his movie's soundtrack is definitely that.
The producers could easily have put together a mishmash of pedestrian dance music for a film about raving, but instead it's apparent that a great degree of care was used in the selection of these tracks, which have been mixed nonstop to good effect by WISHFM.

 Zabriskie Point (1970) - Michelangelo Antonioni   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
The film was a notorious box office bomb, attacked by critics and ignored by the counterculture audience the studio, MGM, was courting.
In the 1990s and 2000s, the film was occasionally screened on college and university campuses to young audiences curious to see a film sympathetic to the counterculture of the 1960s.
Still, the "Movement" which had first captured national media attention during San Francisco's 1967 "summer of love" was already in retreat as its momentum halted by the bullets of Ohio National Guardsmen at Kent State in the spring of l970.

 The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: Fish, Planes, and Globalization   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
In the mid-1990s, Austrian filmmaker Hubert Sauper went to the shores of the lake, in Tanzania, to film how the species, now one of the country’s main exports, had obliterated all others in the lake and even became cannibalistic.
In the mid-2000s, the film “Darwin’s Nightmare” opened at the Venice Film Festival, shocked audiences worldwide, and has since been nominated as Best Documentary at the Academy Awards.
The association of political films with propaganda springs partially from their similarly visceral impact and their ability to affect the viewer; however, as a spectator pointed out after Sauper’s screening of “Darwin’s Nightmare” two months ago at the Harvard Film Archive, any successful art form shakes viewers emotionally.

 Timeline of Influential Milestones and Turning Points in Film History
One thing most of the films had in common - they were not favorites of the film critics.
Most of the films in the early part of the decade that were huge moneymakers were either comic-book related (i.e., Spider-Man (2002 and 2004)), serials (i.e., the Star Wars prequels of 1999, 2002 and 2005), animated films (i.e., Finding Nemo (2003) and Shrek 2 (2004)), based on children's fantasy stories (i.e., Harry Potter...
Hollywood proved that it was more willing to fund sequels, remakes, comic-book and super-hero related films, and recycled TV shows this year instead of smaller-scaled, more intimate dramas that were among the industry's Best Picture nominees.

This film, 'Tideland', was quickly made during a break that Gilliam took whilst making 'The Brothers Grimm', and has proven to be the director's most controversial film in quite some time...
This film is an intriguing pet project of De Niro the director too, and whilst it's by no means a perfect film, it's worth seeing for it's ambitious attempt to sum up 30 odd years of CIA history and the assemblage of an impressive all-star cast.
So for the 1990s and 2000s part of this guide I've had to split it across three parts, as there are a lot more films to talk about (and De Niro's more recent output is also a lot easier to find than his earlier films, so I've seen more of them).
