Motor City's Burning: Detroit from Motown to the Stooges tells the musical story of Detroit in the 60s. It boasts an impressive soundtrack, extensive archive footage and contributions from top names of the time.

 

In 1967 the biggest riot in American history erupted on the streets of Detroit, but the riot wasn't the only revolution going on - the 60s would see Detroit create music that would change the world. In the early 60s an aspirational record label would transcend Detroit's inner city to take black music to a national audience. And in the late 60s a group of suburban kids would descend into the inner city to create revolutionary rock that expressed the rage of young, white America.  

 

With contributions from Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, George Clinton, Martha Reeves, John Sinclair and the MC5 and many others.

The Desert of Forbidden Art is a sweeping look at decades of Soviet repression of the arts and Igor Savitsky's one man campaign to rescue 40,000 works of banned politically volatile artists. In complete defiance of the regime, he creates in a remote desert of Uzbekistan one of the most important collections of Russian art. 

The love for art has rarely been so well represented in a documentary, not to mention that the actual works of art are absolutely stunning. 

This amazing story, with characters as wild and bizarre and wonderful as any you'll see in any flick, is terrifying, heartwarming, funny, and hugely human. Even if you're not an art-lover, this tale tells so much about our times, there's no way to not be moved.
 

After the two movies we show some russian animations in memento of the featured artists.
