Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures
Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures celebrates the life and films of one of the premier filmmakers of the last fifty years. Multiple interviews and rare footage piece together the director’s life from his childhood in New York to the completion of Eyes Wide Shut in March of 1999, a few days before his death. The films are covered chronologically, beginning with Day of the Fight (a short film about boxing made in 1950), with insight provided by technicians, actors, and producers. There’s also a great deal of praise from directors like Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese, and discussion from family members and colleagues about the myths surrounding Kubrick’s working habits.Stanley Kubrick DVDs

Nanook of the North: Featured DVD
Nanook of the North (1922)
Documents one year in the life of Nanook, an Eskimo (Inuit) and his family. Describes the trading, hunting, fishing and migrations of a group barely touched by industrial technology. Nanook of the North was widely shown and praised as the first full-length, anthropological documentary in cinematographic history.
The film was shot near Inukjuak, on Hudson Bay in Arctic Quebec, Canada. Having worked as a prospector and explorer in Arctic Canada among the Inuit, Flaherty was familiar with his subjects and set out to document their lifestyle. Flaherty had shot film in the region prior to this period, but that footage was destroyed in a fire started when Flaherty dropped a cigarette onto the original camera negative (which was highly flammable nitrate stock). Flaherty therefore made Nanook of the North in its place. Funded by French fur company Revillon Freres, the film was shot from August 1920 to August 1921.
As the first nonfiction work of its scale, Nanook of the North was ground-breaking cinema. It captured an exotic culture in a distant location, rather than a facsimile of reality using actors and props on a studio set. Traditional Inuit methods of hunting, fishing, igloo-building, and other customs were shown with accuracy, and the compelling story of a man and his family struggling against nature met with great success in North America and abroad.
