Kulama Gunama

Chinnathambi is a well-respected pillar of his village, dedicating his life to public welfare—but his devotion to duty comes at the cost of time with his wife, Seetha, who longs for a child. His younger brother Raja falls in love with Lalitha, the daughter of a corrupt shopkeeper who profits from exploiting the villagers. When Chinnathambi opens a fair-price cooperative store, tensions rise—and Lalitha’s father seizes the opportunity to drive a wedge between the brothers. As family bonds are tested by love, rivalry, and personal sacrifice, the women of the household stand at the heart of reconciliation. But when a twist of fate turns joy into sorrow, hidden truths and quiet acts of love begin to shape the future of both couples.

Rome '78

Nares mocks up Ancient Rome by shooting in faux-classical sites including Tribeca's American Thread Building, where a decrepit penthouse loft with a peeling-paint dome serves as an echoey stand-in for the imperial palace. The latter location required ingenuity: Posing as potential renters, Nares and associates asked the manager to show them the apartment, then unlocked the windows on the way out; a few hours later, they broke back into the space, full cast and crew in tow, to shoot the necessary scenes.

I Will Not Make Any More Boring Art

In 1971, Baldessari was commissioned by the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Canada to create an original, on-site work. Unable to make the journey himself, he suggested that the students voluntarily write the phrase "I will not make any more boring art" on the gallery walls. Inspired by the work's completion — the students covered the walls with the phrase — Baldessari committed his own version of the piece to videotape. Like an errant schoolboy, he dutifully writes, "I will not make any more boring art" over and over again in a notebook for the duration of the tape. In an ironic disjunction of form and content, Baldessari's methodical, repetitive exercise deliberately contradicts the point of the lesson — to refrain from creating "boring" art.

Street Film Part VII

Fulton combines cultures and impressions in both black and white and colour. An intriguing sound track with sounds of nature, improvised jazz and Fulton improvising on his saxophone, highlights and deepens impressions of juxtapositions of intense images in Chicago, Haiti, and the Southwestern United States. The aerial film of patterns of light and darkness often through the cockpit windows of his Cessna 180 aircraft are an early precursor to his intense focus on his acclaimed aerial cinematography.
