Milestone announces the MILESTONE-ON-DEMAND video line. In an effort to create greater access to its extensive Milestone collection, high quality masters and replication will be used in the coming months to release some of our most long-sought-after titles. Silent films, documentaries, foreign films and classic comedy shorts will all be featured in the coming months.
The first three releases scheduled for June 7, 2011 are:
A DAY ON THE GRAND CANAL WITH THE EMPEROR OF CHINA by David Hockney and Philip Haas
DZIGA AND HIS BROTHERS: A FILM FAMILY ON THE CUTTING EDGE by Yevgeni Tsymbal.
AND NOW, MIGUEL by Joseph Krumgold
Detailed descriptions can be found below. The three films retail for $29.95 each but are available at 20% off by going to Milestone Films or calling Milestone directly at (800) 603-1104
A DAY ON THE GRAND CANAL WITH THE EMPEROR OF CHINA or surface is illusion but so is depth
A film by Philip Haas and David Hockney. Music by Marc Wilkinson. Cinematography by Curtiss Clark. 48 minutes. Color. 1988. © Philip Haas
Director Philip Haas (Angels and Insects), and artist David Hockney invite you to join them on a magical journey through China via a marvelous 72-foot long 17th-century Chinese scroll. As Hockney unrolls the beautiful and minutely detailed work of art, he traces the Emperor Kangxi's grand tour of his southern domains. Hockney's charming and fascinating narration helps bring the bustling streets and waterfronts of three hundred years ago to life. Comparing this work with a Canaletto painting and a later Chinese scroll, Hockney spins a dazzling discourse on eastern and western perceptive and their relationship to his own artistic vision. His trip through one of China's most magnificent artworks is a joyous adventure for all!
DZIGA AND HIS BROTHERS: A FILM FAMILY ON THE CUTTING EDGE
Director: Yevgeni Tsymbal. Russia. 2002. 52 minutes. Color and B&W.
The fascinating and tumultuous lives of Mikhail, Boris and Denis Kaufman (better known as Dziga Vertov) are the focus of this powerful documentary. Using rare archival footage from Russian state film archives and private collections, the brothers' lives and art are traced from Bialystok to Moscow, Paris, and Hollywood. "David, Moisey, and Boris Kaufman – 'perhaps the most talented brothers in the history of cinema' per film historian Yevgeni Tsymbal – were born in Bialystok (the "most Jewish town in Poland") to a used-book dealer and a rabbi's daughter. The town suffered a major pogrom during their childhoods, and their parents would eventually perish in the Holocaust, but the Kaufman brothers attended Russian school and reinvented themselves in the crucible of revolution: David most radically as docu-visionary Dziga. Mikhail (né Moisey) worked with his older brother—he is the title character in The Man With a Movie Camera – until they quarreled and he too became a director. Baby Boris went first to France, collaborating with Jean Vigo, and then to America. Dziga was targeted during Stalin's Cold War anti-cosmopolitan campaign; he suffered a heart attack and died in obscurity months before Boris won an Oscar for shooting On the Waterfront." — J. Hoberman, Village Voice.
AND NOW, MIGUEL
Directed by Joseph Krumgold. 1953. Cast: The Chavez Family. Cinematography by Kenneth Marthey. Filmed in Las Cordovas, New Mexico. 62 minutes. Music score composed by Louis Appelbaum.
AND NOW, MIGUEL is known today as the beloved novel by Joseph Krumgold that won the Newberry Medal for excellence in American children's literature in 1954. But few know that the story actually originated as a motion picture for the US Department of State directed by the Academy Award®-winning Krumgold. Magnificently photographed with an emphasis on local customs and practices, this DVD debut mastered from the best 35mm material will be an important addition to Latino film studies.
Miguel Chavez, 12 years-old, has dreamed of visiting the Sangre de Cristo Mountains since he was very little. This summer, he is going to work hard and pray until his father and grandfather realize that he is ready to take the trip with the rest of the older men. His prayers are granted when his older brother is drafted. His father needs an extra body and grudgingly allows Miguel to accompany them.
