A Canadian documentary that is ostensibly about the ancient Irish and Scottish fairy myths and those who still believe in them, THE FAIRY FAITH is also a touching look at a culture that is outdated, yet still survives amid more modern beliefs. Filmed mostly in Ireland and Scotland, director John Walker roams the countryside interviewing everyone from university scholars to older folks who claim that to have had encounters with fairies as well as reminiscing about his grandmother, who use to regale him with tales of the roguish little creatures. Ending up in Nova Scotia to examine how the remnants of this culture have survived in North America, Mr. Walker provides an insightful look not only at his one of his ancestor's most beloved legends, but also an entire culture that is slowly disappearing.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull FrameAudio: Stereo - EnglishInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive MenusDVD-ROM Features: Weblink

Who better to bring the grand-scale King Kong myth to the screen once again than the director responsible for creating the vast and magical world of the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy? In this behind-the-scenes documentary, Academy Award-winner Peter Jackson invites viewers inside the production process for his epic undertaking, 2005`s KING KONG. Set in the 1930s, the film took over six months to shoot, involving many elaborate sets and exotic locales. Luckily for fans, Jackson and members of the all-star cast (Naomi Watts, Adrien Brody, and Jack Black among others) documented their experiences of filming the movie through 54 individual video diaries that were shot at various points during production, offering viewers an inside peek at how the epic tale evolved from scratch through completion. Available here for the first time (to coincide with the film`s much-awaited release), the insightful diaries have been gathered in one place for KING KONG: PETER JACKSON`S PRODUCTION DIARIES, the perfect companion to the film itself.
