The long hallway / by Larson, Richard Scott,author.(CARDINAL)882453;
"Growing up queer, closeted, and afraid, Richard Scott Larson found expression for his interior life in horror films, especially John Carpenter's 1978 classic, Halloween. He developed an intense childhood identification with Michael Myers, Carpenter's inscrutable masked villain, as well as Michael's potential victims. In The Long Hallway, Larson scrutinizes this identification, meditating on horror as a metaphor for the torments of the closet."

Introduction : on a personal note / by Raoul Peck -- There are new metaphors : meeting Gloria (Baldwin Karefa-Smart) -- Notes on the writing process -- Editing I am not your Negro -- Paying my dues -- Heroes -- Witness -- Purity -- Selling the Negro -- I am not a nigger.To compose his documentary film I Am Not Your Negro, filmmaker Raoul Peck mined James Baldwin's published and unpublished oeuvre, selecting passages from his books, essays, letters, notes, and interviews that are every bit as incisive and pertinent now as they have ever been. Weaving these texts together, Peck imagines the book that Baldwin never wrote. In his final years, Baldwin had envisioned a book about his three assassinated friends: Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King. His deeply personal notes for the project have never been published before. Peck's film uses them to jump through time, juxtaposing Baldwin's private words with his public statements in an examination of the tragic history of race in America.Transcript of the documentary film, I am not your negro, by Raoul Peck composed of unpublished and published writings, interviews, and letters by James Baldwin on the subject of racism in America.Includes bibliographical references.1000L

Stories of work and play, of love and loss ... and bread. Bread has been at the center of human life and creativity for at least the last ten thousand years - it is in our bones and a witness to history. This essay documentary brings bread to the front of the line and explores its relation to politics, poetry, and pleasure. The loaf of bread is the vehicle through which we explore stories of sex and death, immigration and refugees, social justice and the counter-culture, and of art, work and pleasure. Love it or hate it, everyone has a relationship with bread. This simple staple food is brought to life by the wild energy of yeast, perhaps our first companion animal, and is a metaphor of transformation that mirrors life itself. And it is the only metaphor you can eat. Shot in Canada, the US, and throughout Europe, this is a beautiful and profound journey into a subject that has come to have an important meaning in our times.Rating: Not rated.DVD, wide screen (16x9); 5.1 Dolby digital, 2.0 Dolby stereo.
