In a testimony to the power of tolerance, filmmaker Menachem Daum, his wife, and their sons travel to a Polish town where his father-in-law and his two brothers hid from the Nazis with a non-Jewish family for 28 months. Daum proposes the journey when he becomes increasingly worried that his ultraorthodox sons, who live in Israel, have become affected by a culture of interfaith intolerance and distrust. At first, Daum's family resists his idea, unwilling to explore the country of their family's persecution. But eventually they agree to go along. His father-in-law fears for their safety, and also worries that the Muchas, the family who hid him, will demand compensation or express anger over his failure to keep in touch with them after the war.As they travel to the Mucha farm, the family visits sites important to their history--visiting relatives' graves, and giving a blessing at a former synagogue--both emblems of a once-thriving Jewish community. Later, as Daum's wife and sons tour the farm, their cynicism gives way to raw emotion. After so many years, the Muchas find the expression of gratitude they seem desperately to have desired, and the Daums tearfully piece together their history. Ultimately Daum's journey begins to heal wounds between the two families and provides a solid foundation from which to increase interfaith tolerance, within his own family and the world.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Additional Release Material: BiographiesText/Photo Gallery: Photo Gallery

Jonathan Nossiter, whose 2000 drama SIGNS& WONDERS was nominated for the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival and whose 1997 fiction film SUNDAY won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, returns to the documentary format with MONDOVINO. Nossiter, who previously explored cinema verite in'90s RESIDENT ALIEN, about the iconoclastic Quentin Crisp, this time focuses his camera on the international wine trade, traveling to France, California, Italy, and New York, speaking with winemakers both great and small. While old-timer Aime Guibert, of tiny Mas de Daumas-Gassac, pronounces that wine must be made by a poet, high-powered consultant Michel Rolland circles the globe ensuring that wineries make lots of money. Nossiter meets the Mondavi family, one of the wine world's largest conglomerates; the de Montille family of Burgundy, in which a daughter has chosen not to work with her father and brother but instead with a competitor; the Staglins, who financed their own high-priced vineyard in the Napa Valley; and critics James Suckling and Robert Parker, whose words can make or break a vintage. Nossiter also visits with New York wine importer Neal Rosenthal, Christie's wine director Michael Broadbent, and Chateau Mouton-Rothschild CEOs Patrick Leon and Xavier de Eizaguirre to get even further perspectives. Although Nossiter set out merely to find the characters behind the wine industry, he ended up with a poignant look at some important issues, including deforestation, the corporation versus the independent company, and even communism. His bouncy handheld camera captured more than he had ever imagined. The result is an entertaining inside examination of a world very few people see, a fascinating exploration of wine and the families who produce it.

John Ford Goes to War (DVD) John Ford Goes to War (DVD) » John Ford Goes to War (DVD)

Kris Kristofferson narrates this fascinating and enlightening documentary about the World War II experiences of legendary, visionary director John Ford. The auteur behind STAGECOACH, THE GRAPES OF WRATH, THE QUIET MAN, RIO GRANDE, and HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY--among many other instant classics--volunteered his services and produced fascinating, cutting-edge documentaries on the war effort (as well as sex-hygiene videos for the soldiers). He was injured while capturing THE BATTLE OF MIDWAY on film, for which he won an Oscar in 1942; he won another the next year for DECEMBER 7TH. Luminaries such as Oliver Stone and Peter Bogdanovich are interviewed, and the result is an unusual, intriguing portrait of a complex and staggeringly talented man.

Sargent-Carnation, Lily, Rose Framed Canvas » Sargent-Carnation, Lily, Rose Framed Canvas

Where others kept journals, John Singer Sargent painted his. He painted two United States presidents, the aristocracy of Europe, tycoons and barons of business--Rockefeller, Sears, Vanderbilt; he painted gypsies, tramps, and street children with the same gusto and passion. One of his masterpieces,
Carnation, Lily, Rose, has been faithfully reproduced here.

Our canvas fine art replicas surpass most reproductions available in the market today. Each canvas is recreated in amazing detail so that even the subtlest brushstroke becomes vibrant. Artist-grade canvas is hand-stretched over wooden stretcher bars by skilled artisans and hand coated with protectants to insure archival properties.

Approximately 4 inches wide, the clean lines of the Merlot frame direct the eye to the focal point of the art. The stunning color of the frame, similar to a rich merlot wine, works with any home decor. Unlike the starkness of black, Merlot adds a richness designed to work with any furniture style.
