In his first theatrically released film, legendary director Krzysztof Kieslowski begins his work in political commentary with a tale of a man, Stefan Bednarz (Franciszek Pieczka), who is chosen by the Communist Party to supervise a construction project in his hometown, where he has not lived for many years. Despite his negative associations with the place, he returns in hopes of building a project that will revitalize the town. Unfortunately, he soon finds that local residents want nothing to do with the project, and are more interested in short-term goals -- disillusioned, he decides to resign from his position.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Additional Release Material: Production Interviews: 1.

Cesar Paes's award-winning documentary, SAUDADE DO FUTURO, tells the story of the poor Nordestinos who travel south to try to find fame and fortune--or at least a better life--in the vibrant town of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Instead of making a more conventional documentary with voice-over narration, Paes, with his wife, Marie-Clemence, serving as executive producer, lets the people and the music speak for themselves. However, the performers are aware of the film, so some of the songs are written specifically for it, with one song even mentioning the title of the movie in the lyrics. The film focuses on how the music of these troubadors examines their everyday life, from family relationships and religion to finances and prejudice. The rhythm of the city, featuring the unique sounds of forro and repentismo, is even evident in the Brazilian stock market. Among the standout musicians are Sonhador et Peneira, who bang their tambourines as they exchange raplike stanzas, one trying to top the other by being faster and more creative; Ze Honorio, the well-respected accordionist; and the Banda de Pifanos, who are now in their third generation of detailing how hard life is in modern-day Sao Paulo.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseWidescreen - 1.85Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - PortugueseAdditional Release Material: Extra Scenes Recording Sessions Trailers - 1.
