Sympathy For The Devil: The True Story of The Process Church of the Final Judgment (2015)


Director:
Neil Edwards

Da li su kontraverzni Process Church bili zaista satanisti ili pak zajebantisti, i u kakvim odnosima su bili sa Čičom. O tome i još mnogočemu govori ovaj nadasve zanimljivi dokumentarac.


"Google ‘The Process Church of the Final Judgment’ and you will discover a long list of lurid conspiracy theories. The cult has been accused of being the inspiration for Charles Manson's 'crimes of the century', influencing the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, and being the root of the notorious Son of Sam serial killings.

Formed in 1960s England, many of its members were drawn from wealthy families and aristocracy. Newspapers branded them the 'Mindbenders in Mayfair' and 'The Devil's Disciples'. Ever since, members of The Process have adopted a secretive stance.

Only now, have former members of the inner circle agreed to reveal the truth behind the conspiracy theories, and open up about their beliefs, rituals, and the closely guarded secret of the real power behind it all.

The film gets behind the veils of the cult and tracks their journey from their formation in London’s prestigious Mayfair district, through wilderness experiences in Mexico, flirtations with pop royalty, and their spread state-side that resulted in them being ‘christened’ ‘One of the most dangerous satanic cults in America’.

With contributions from leading former members of the cult, and insights from filmmaker John Waters (who encountered the cult whilst living in New Orleans) George Clinton (who included Process writings on his Funkadelic albums). Plus artist Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, and renowned authors Gary Lachman, Robert Irwin, Gaia Servadio (who infiltrated the group in 1966), and Manson biographer Simon Wells."

Big Rattle in Seattle (1999)


Director:
Flaco Blag

"Direct action video about the protests in Seattle against the World Trade Organisation conference in September 1999. Provides front line coverage of the anti-capitalist and globalisation demonstration, and interviews with participants."


"Big Rattle in Seattle 23 minute video "made by two blokes with a video camera". A pretty funny video made by two British guys in Seattle. Features hilarious footage of some slightly confused North Americans explaining their reasons for wanting to shut down the WTO, some of the spectacular and colourful street occupations and (of course) images of black clad anarchists fucking shit up. Excellent family viewing."

Woody Guthrie: This Machine Kills Fascists (2005)


Director:
Stephen Gammond

Runtime: 172 min

"This film chronicles the life and achievement of Woody Guthrie, the most important folk/protest singer of his generation, whose significance today can be measured by the pantheon of artists including Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Bono and Willie Nelson who acknowledge their debt to him. An exhaustive documentary exploration of one of history's most important, socially conscious folk singers, This Machine Kills Fascists combines rare documentary footage of Guthrie's era with interviews from the artist's friends and family. Weighing in are Pete Seeger, Guthrie's son Arlo and daughter Nora, his friend Jimmy Longhi, and a panel of experts. The program outlines the concerns of the times through Guthrie's music, tracing the origins and meanings of such songs as "Pastures of Plenty," "Pretty Boy Floyd," and "This Land is Your Land."

The Life and Times of Allen Ginsberg (1994)

Director:
Jerry Aronson

Runtime: 82 min

Kao što i sam naslov ukazuje, ovo je biografska priča o najznačajnijem kontrakulturnom pesniku, pioniru BIT pokreta, čoveku koji je prvi imao TA jaja, ali i čoveku koji je drugovao sa mnogim izuzetnim likovima tog vremena, od Burroughsa, Kerouaca, Ken Keseya, Boba Dilana, preko Lirija, Lenona, Abbie Hoffmana i tako u nedogled. Allen Ginsberg je od početka pa sve do kraja svog života '97 godine, ostao dosledan svom tom ludilu, i nije ustuknuo ni za milimetar pred vlastima i svima ostalima koji su pokušavali da ga sputaju i ukalupe. Dakle, faca skroz dostojna ovog bloga, a ono što je mene posebno obradovalo je pojavljivanje i meni omiljene Joan Baez koja takođe govori o ovom jedinstvenom umetniku i zajebantu koji je svojom pozitivnom energijom definitivno obeležio 20. vek.

IMDB

"This explores the life and work of the greatest poet of the Beat Generation. Along with the usual biographical details, we also get to experience the poet's readings of his work such as his masterwork, Howl. We also examine his work as a musician and a political activist who, amoung other causes, worked to end the Vietnam War."

Casey Kasem's Rock n' Roll Goldmine - The San Francisco Sound (1987)


Kao pravi srpski domaćin, Casey Kasem nas vodi kroz šljivike i voćnjake San Franciska 60-ih, i ukazuje na samo najbolje plodove (al' sam se prosro) od kojih bi ja izdvojio Janis Joplin i Grateful Dead. Dakle, on ovde pokušava da definiše taj specifičan zvuk San Franciska, tako da možete videti i čuti neke od kultnih pesama u celosti i to uživo. Naravno, nikako ne treba zanemariti ni uticaj Berklija i anti-war movementa na celu ovu priču, jer realno, San Francisko je 60-ih bio centar sveta i to na svim frontovima, a posebno na polju aktivizma i kontra-kulture. Znači, ko ceni taj jedinstveni sound 60-ih, najtoplije mu preporučujem ovaj dokumentarac i to možda najviše zbog neponovljivog performansa pokojne dive, Janis Joplin, koja je ovde dosta toga objasnila i definitivno pobedila.


"In the "Summer of Love," when Haight-Asbury was the center of the hippie universe, musicians began exploring the boundaries of rock and roll with free-form, blues-inspired song structures that reflected the social and political upheaval of the times. This psychedelic sound became the soundtrack for an unforgettable era. Features full song performances of Domino/ Van Morrison, Ball & Chain/ Janis Joplin w' Big Brother, Truckin'/ Grateful Dead, Jingo/Santana, Living in the USA/Steve Miller, Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die/Country Joe and the Fish."

Sean (1970)

Director:
Ralph Arlyck

Hehe, genijalno, skroz gotivan klinac od samo 4 godine koji priča između ostalog i o tome kako ponekad puši travu. Naravno, ovo bi delovalo zaista šokantno da ne znamo da se radi o 1969. godini i čuvenoj Haight ulici u San Francisku, gde ovaj malac živi sa roditeljima koji su naravno hipici. Klinac se zove Šon, i iz njegove priče možemo da zaključimo da je prilično naprednih shvatanja za svoje godine, dakle onaj mali Rastko, moj navodno najbolji učenik, je bre realno beba za ovog malog, i totalno zaostaje u gradivu. Pored priče o svojoj životnoj filozofiji, o ateizmu i tome kako ne podnosi policiju (a.c.a.b. buraz!), Šon objašnjava i kako je živeti u Haight-Ashbury distriktu u doba procvata kontra-kulture, međ' onim hipicima svih boja i rasa, koji su tih godina prosto nagrnuli iz svih krajeva Sjedinjenih Država, te bukvalno zakrčili ulice brdovitog San Franciska. Dakle, Rastko, sunce li ti žarko, obavezno da si pogledao ovaj 'shorty', jer veruj mi, propitivaću, nema više vrdanja i zajebancije, vreme je da batališ taj snobovsko-liberalski trip, i da se konačno prikloniš ekstremnoj levici, znači zajebi Čedu i ekipu, jer sve su to fejkeri, to si valjda i sam izvalio do sad, samo smrt političarima, smrt državi, i nek ide sve u pizdu lepu mater'nu ! (15 min)


"Filmmaker Ralph Arlyck interviews his neighbor, Sean Farrell, a 4-year-old living on San Francisco's Haight Street in 1969. Sean gives his thoughts on life in his home, a hippie crash pad, and casually mentions that he smokes pot, which caused this short film to become a national sensation."

BBC - Panorama: Scientology and Me (2007)

Ovde ćete moći da vidite prvenstveno kako se sajentolozi obračunavaju sa novinarima pa i svima ostalima koji bi da njuškaju i okolo huškaju narod, a svi se sećamo one genijalne epizode South Parka gde njihovi advokati svima redom prete tužbama. No to nikako nije samo zajebancija, uostalom probajte javno u SAD ili EU da ih napadnete na bilo koji način pa ćete moći da vidite šta sve može da vam se desi. Upravo iz tog razloga i ne postoji niti jedan ozbiljan igrani ili dokumentarni film na ovu 'škakljivu' temu, jer je to jednostavno nemoguće na prvom mestu snimiti, a o post-produkciji da uopšte i ne pričamo, jer do tad bi autore već odlomili na sudu, zatim bi ih totalno diskreditovali, i to na taj način da verovatno više nikad u životu ne bi mogli da se bave snimanjem bilo čega.

Uostalom, kad budete čuli te uglavnom lažne optužbe i šikaniranje najgore vrste na račun onih koji su im se suprotstavili, neće vam biti dobro, al' bez zajebancije, i zato ljudi u 99,9% slučajeva razmišljaju po principu "ma pusti ih u kurac, samo što dalje od moje kuće" i slično. Potom ćete, ja mislim, po prvi put, moći da videte kako razmišljaju i celebrity sajentolozi, u koje spadaju uglavnom manje i više poznati glumci. Naravno svi znamo za Kruza i Travoltu, ali ja zaista pojma nisam imao da je npr. i Juliette Lewis u toj priči, i ko zna još koliko njih koji ovde nisu predstavljeni. Uglavnom, ja se definitivno sa ovim likovima ne bi zajebav'o, mada me neki đavo i posle svega što sam video i dalje tera da čim sajentolozi kroče na teritoriju Srbijice, da ih odma' savatam radi onog testiranja na e-metru, jer to mi je želja još od malih nogu, i šta ću, razum kaže 'ne' al' srce 'jebiga', i tu onda nema pomoći. (30 min)

"The episode that received the highest ratings for Panorama series in 2007, attracted attention with the scene that John Sweeney lost his control and shouted because of he was interfered by Scientologist Tommy Davis during filming. When the reporter John Sweeney investigated the Church of Scientology, he was spied on and chased by some unidentified people. Despite of these difficulties John Sweeney went on his research and interviewed with some Scientology celebrities Anne Archer, Kirstie Alley, Juliette Lewis and Leah Remini."

God Respects Us When We Work, But Loves Us When We Dance (1968)

Director:
Les Blank

Ako ste gledali bilo koji dokumentarac u kome se pominju hipici provereno ste videli i kadrove iz ovog Les Blankovog klasika. U ovom dokumentarcu nema ni naracije niti bilo kakvog dijaloga, znači samo hipi zezanje, ljubav, cveće, duvka, muzika i naravno ples, i moram da priznam da im zavidim, zavidim im što su rođeni u pravo vreme i što su takvo nešto imali prilike da iskuse, i sve bi' dao da se zamenimo, pa makar i na samo par meseci. Dakle, samo LOVE, PEACE & ONENESS. Yeah! (20 min)


"Hippies and flower children dance and create rituals at the historic Los Angeles 'Love-In' of Easter Sunday, 1967. This '60s classic documents a once-in a lifetime phenomenon, preserving all the fashions, energy and idealism of the first 'alternative lifestyles.'"
