I Know I'm Not Alone
starring: Michael Franti
In 2004 Michael Franti decided to ‘walk his talk’ and traveled to the war zones of Iraq, Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. This wasn’t a USO green zone sponsored visit – Franti and his team organized a trip that would take him to the core of the red-zoned, war torn neighborhoods of Baghdad, the West Bank and Gaza Strip armed with only a guitar, video cameras and the intent to experience first hand the human cost of war. Throughout his journey he shares his music with families, doctors, musicians, soldiers and everyday people who in turn reveal to him the often overlooked human cost of war. Out of this expedition, Franti has produced and directed a compelling documentary film titled I Know I’m Not Alone. With its guerrilla style footage captured in active war zones, the documentary is unlike the many academic and politically driven pieces in the marketplace, instead offering the audience a sense of intimate travel and the opportunity to hear the voices of everyday people living, creating and surviving under the harsh conditions of war and occupation.

Baraka
directed by: Ron Fricke
The word Baraka means "blessing" in several languages; watching this film, the viewer is blessed with a dazzling barrage of images that transcend language. Filmed in 24 countries and set to an ever-changing global soundtrack, the movie draws some surprising connections between various peoples and the spaces they inhabit, whether that space is a lonely mountaintop or a crowded cigarette factory. Some of these attempts at connection are more successful than others: for instance, an early sequence segues between the daily devotions of Tibetan monks, Orthodox Jews, and whirling dervishes, finding more similarity among these rituals than one might expect. And there are other amazing moments, as when sped-up footage of a busy Hong Kong intersection reveals a beautiful symmetry to urban life that could only be appreciated from the perspective of film. The lack of context is occasionally frustrating--not knowing where a section was filmed, or the meaning of the ritual taking place--and some of the transitions are puzzling. However, the DVD includes a short behind-the-scenes featurette in which cinematographer Ron Fricke (Koyaanisqatsi) explains that the effect was intentional: "It's not where you are that's important, it's what's there." And what's here, in Baraka, is a whole world summed up in 104 minutes. --Larisa Lomacky Moore

The Directors - Clint Eastwood
starring: Laura Dern, Ed Harris, Geoffrey Lewis, Donna Mills, Meryl Streep
First released while Clint Eastwood's Space Cowboys was still enjoying a successful theatrical run in the fall of 2000, this edition of The Directors serves as a satisfying retrospective of Eastwood's career. The legendary actor-director had appeared in 68 films by this time, and although he hints at retirement at the end of this hour-long profile, he also mentions future projects and shows no signs of slowing down. With Eastwood as the primary interview subject, the program covers all the salient points, most importantly the inspiration and influence of directors Don Siegel and Sergio Leone, who had fostered Eastwood's early career and encouraged him to direct. To that end, Eastwood's directorial debut Play Misty for Me is given thorough coverage, in addition to Eastwood's views on the importance of music (as long as it's balanced and not "bombastic"), and his well-known skill at delivering all of his films on time and on (or under) budget. "I was brought up to respect the financier's money," Eastwood says, explaining the methods he uses to work within a given production timeframe.

Interviewees range from A-list stars like Meryl Streep and Morgan Freeman to such veteran character actors (and Eastwood regulars) as Geoffrey Lewis and Pat Hingle. Extra time is appropriately devoted to Unforgiven, which Eastwood describes as "not an anti-Western, but a myth-breaking Western" in its handling of violence. Rounding out with Space Cowboys and some closing comments by Eastwood and his daughter, Alison, this edition of The Directors is, like many of the others, a concise and informative overview for anyone who wants to learn more about this great American filmmaker. --Jeff Shannon
