DON'T LET OUR YOUTH GO TO WASTE is a comprehensive visual document spanning the history of GALAXIE 500. A compendium of all their music videos, a rare TV appearance, and an archive of over 40 songs performed live, this 2-DVD set includes a performance of an unreleased original song "Buzz in My Head" and a live version of Jonathan Richman's "Back in Your Life," both of which were never recorded or released in any other form. From fan footage to professionally-produced segments, the concerts have been compiled from over 20 hours of performances, curated by the band to best represent their brief but illuminated career.

The deluxe booklet contains photos and a new interview with all three members, Dean Wareham, Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang conducted by Yo La Tengo's James McNew.

Beginning with the Sioux victory over General Custer at Little Big Horn, BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE intertwines the unique perspectives of three characters: Charles Eastman (Adam Beach), né Ohiyesa, a young, Dartmouth-educated, Sioux doctor held up as living proof of the alleged success of assimilation; Sitting Bull (August Schellenberg), the proud Lakota chief who refuses to submit to U.S. government policies designed to strip his people of their identity, their dignity and their sacred land - the gold-laden Black Hills of the Dakotas; and Senator Henry Dawes (Aidan Quinn), one of the architects of the government policy on Indian affairs.

A Sho in the Kalahari desert encounters technology for the first time--in the shape of a Coke bottle. He takes it back to his people, and they use it for many tasks. The people start to fight over it, so he decides to return it to the God--where he thinks it came from. Meanwhile, we are introduced to a school teacher assigned to a small village, a despotic revolutionary, and a clumsy biologist.

     
autumn afternoon
honeymoon killers
Les classiques de Frédéric Back
An Autumn Afternoon
The Honeymoon Killers
Canada, 2008, VA
Yasujiro Ozu , Japon, 1962, STa
Leonard Kastle, États-Unis, 1970, VA

Cinéaste d’animation de réputation internationale, Frédéric Back a mis son talent unique au service de la cause qui est au centre de sa vie et qui est plus que jamais d’actualité : un profond respect pour la nature allié à un sens aigu de la responsabilité de l’homme envers son environnement.

Deux Oscars et des dizaines de prix prestigieux remportés dans une multitude de festivals aux quatre coins du monde ont salué les films réunis dans ce coffret : L'homme qui plantait des arbres, Le Fleuve aux grandes eaux, Crac!, Tout rien, Taratata!, Illusion?, La Création des oiseaux, Inon et Abracadabra.

Yasujiro Ozu’s final film was also his final masterpiece, the gently heartbreaking story of a man’s dignified resignation to both life’s ever-shifting currents and society’s gradual modernization. Though widower Shuhei Hirayama (Ozu’s frequent leading man Chishu Ryu) has been living comfortably for years with his grown daughter, a series of events leads him to accept and encourage her marriage and departure. As elegantly composed and achingly tender as any of the Japanese master’s films, An Autumn Afternoon (Sanma no aji) is one of cinema’s fondest farewells.

Martha Beck (Shirley Stoler) is sullen, overweight and heartbreakingly alone. Desperate for affection, she joins Aunt Carrie’s Friendship Club and strikes up a correspondence with Ray Fernandez (Tony Lo Bianco), a suave, charismatic smooth talker who could be the man of her dreams—or a wicked con artist bound for trouble. Based on a true story and filmed in documentary-style black and white, The Honeymoon Killers is a stark portrayal of the desperate lengths to which a lonely heart will go to find true love, from brutally immoral killings to a passion that transcends all bounds.

Canada / États-Unis , 2008, VA

t's another monstrous day in New York City where window washers have their heads bitten off, topless sunbathers are plucked from rooftops, bloody body parts rain onto the streets and small-time crook Jimmy Quinn (Michael Moriarty of LAW & ORDER, in a performance Entertainment Weekly calls "deliriously intense") discovers a humongous nest in the spire of The Chrysler Building. Meanwhile, an NYPD detective (David Carradine) investigates a series of ritual sacrifice murders that may have unleashed a giant flying Aztec Serpent God into the skies of Manhattan. Its name is Quetzalcoatl, but just call it Q... that's all you'll have time to say before it tears you apart!

Cinq ans après avoir abandonné Libby, sa fiancée enceinte, en pleine cérémonie de mariage, Dennis réalise qu'il est toujours amoureux d'elle et qu'il a fait l'erreur de sa vie. Grâce à Jake, leur petit garçon, il continue de la voir très fréquemment.
Quand il rencontre le nouveau fiancé de Libby, Whit, un beau et riche golden boy de la City, Dennis comprend qu'avec sa bedaine et son modeste salaire de vigile, son idée de la reconquérir ne s'annonce pas vraiment bien.
Ecrasé par la réussite de Whit et ne sachant plus quoi faire pour le concurrencer, Dennis annonce sur un coup de tête qu'il va courir le marathon de Londres. Pour tenir 42 km et tenter de séduire à nouveau celle qu'il aime, Dennis va commencer un entraînement aussi long que douloureux...

A brief encounter at the party with Marina, the owner of the local coffeehouse, suddenly has Jenny thrust into a whole new world that makes her question her own sexual orientation. Other friends of Bette and Tina include Dana, a professional tennis player who is shy but eager to meet the right woman; Alice, a magazine writer who has a brief relationship with a self-identified "lesbian" man; and Shane, a hairstylist who can't stick to just one woman, and Kit, Bette's half sister who struggles with alcoholism.
