Arthouse Films by Ami Kealoha
Brought to our attention this past week, Palm Pictures released a new series, Art House, Inc., a collection hard-hitting and fascinating documentaries that chronicle art, fashion, and music. (With some crossover, naturally.)
Arthouse focuses more on the development of the American art scene, with its acclaimed retrospective documentary "Who Gets to Call it Art?" about the creative renaissance centered in NYC in the 1960s and a portrait of renowned photographer William Eggleston ("William Eggleston in the Real World"), but also includes other image-making luminaries like a film about Henri-Cartier Bresson called "The Impassioned Eye."
Heady stuff that you probably won't find at your local Blockbuster.

Be Here to Love Me
Like many obsessions, Margaret Brown's fascination with Townes Van Zandt began with one song. After a friend played her the folk singer's "Waiting Round to Die," she bought all the records she could get her hands on. The resulting documentary, Be Here to Love Me is the kind of work that can only come from an artist's devotion, much in the way that Townes...

The Bicycle Film Festival
New environmentalism (the kind that feels as good as it looks) shares a lot with the urban bike culture movement. A major catalyst in bringing different riders together over the last several years has been The Bicycle Film Festival. Guided by what is perhaps the most offbeat curatorial premise of the many festivals out there, the 5th Annual event opens in San Francisco this...

Piece by Piece
San Francisco graffiti often plays neglected stepchild to its cousin to the East. Piece by Piece, a documentary showing this Sunday in New York as part of Vision Fest 2005 and on July 26th at Ocularis in Brooklyn, takes an in-depth look at the writers, styles, and history of the West Coast city. From New York, the flick goes on a Canadian tour sponsored...

Ginga
I wish all documentary filmmakers could rock Nikes to make films, but this time around, it’s a Brazilian story being told. In the vein of last spring’s Art of Speed film collaborations, tonight RES presents a screening and event of the Nike-sponsored documentary film about Ginga (loosely translates to “art of movement”) and the sport of futebol in Brazil. Executive produced by Fernando Meirelles,...

Arakimentari
Arakimentari. The subject is the reknowned (or reviled) japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki. He's considered to have changed the representation of female nudity in Japan. The film explores the artist behind the photos by documenting his work ethic and revealing the context in which he creates his work. There are also interviews with Bjˆrk and Takeshi Kitano. This is a wonderful presentation of a man, who...
