WATER CHILDREN <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c832.shtml>
"As sensuous as Werner Herzog's early work or Terence Malick's Tree of Life...an extended moment of the sublime." De Groene Amsterdammer
WATER CHILDREN is an acclaimed, hauntingly beautiful film and an important resource for cinema and documentary studies, art and performance courses. Director Aliona van der Horst follows the unconventional Japanese-Dutch pianist Tomoko Mukaiyama as she explores the miracle of fertility and the cycle of life - sometimes joyful, sometimes tragic. When Mukaiyama recognized that her childbearing years were ending, she created a multimedia art project on the subject in a village in Japan, constructing what she calls a cathedral, out of 12,000 silk white dresses. While Mukaiyama's own mesmerizing music provides a haunting backdrop to the film, her installation elicits confessions from normally reticent Japanese visitors, many of whom have never seen art before - and in moving scenes, they open up about previously taboo subjects.

RIDDLES OF THE SPHINX <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c471.shtml>

REASSEMBLAGE <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c52.shtml>
"Superbly crafted and visually exquisite...a work of film criticism itself." The Village Voice
Women are the focus but not the object of Trinh T. Minh-ha's influential first film, a complex visual study of the women of rural Senegal. Through a complicity of interaction between film and spectator, REASSEMBLAGE reflects on documentary filmmaking and the ethnographic representation of cultures.

DAUGHTER RITE <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c356.shtml>

RECONSTRUCTION <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c585.shtml>
