 | India’s famed director Satyaji Ray took time out from his fictional dramas to direct and write this interesting documentary on his fellow Bengali, Rabindranath Tagore. Tagore was born into a family of fourteen children in 1861, and since he first started writing poetry at the age of seven, his vocation appeared early in his life.

 | Jesus Almagro was a happy man when awarded Spain’s National Award as Best Cook 2007. His next challenge was to compete for the World Championship, the Bocuse d’Or... He thought he was up to the challenge, that preparing it was just a matter of time and skills.
He was definitively not ready for what lied ahead. "THE CHICKEN, THE FISH AND THE KING CRAB" is the story of a big challenge to fulfil a dream, a tale of hopes and expectations, and of crude and harsh realities, a rather funny, thrilling and compassionate journey towards greatness and self respect, the first ever gastronomic thriller. |
 | 11) Rivers And Tides Documentarian Thomas Riedelsheimer shows us Andy Goldsworthy as he creates art in natural settings using natural materials such as driftwood, ice, mud, leaves, and stones. Goldsworthy comments on his "earthworks" and occasionally responds to off screen questions from Riedelsheimer while he painstakingly builds his outdoors sculptures. With some exceptions, such as a winding stone wall that he built in Mountainville, NY, Goldsworthy's creations are intentionally mutable works.
We see how several of them fall apart, melt, or drift away due to exposure to the elements; we also see, for example, a complex structure of interconnected sticks collapse while Goldsworthy is still working on it.
Riedelsheimer takes us to Goldsworthy's home in Penport, Scotland, and to a French museum, but the emphasis of the film is on observing Goldsworthy at work. |
