Beowulf
Since 1990, Benjamin Bagby has been performing the great epic Beowulf at major festivals around the world. While Beowulf has come down to us as literature, the epic's pre-literate medieval audience would have known it through the performance of a scop, a bardic storyteller, as Bagby presents himself here. In this one-man tour de force Bagby accompanies himself on an Anglo-Saxon harp as he delivers this gripping tale in Old English, as it could have been experienced more than one thousand years ago. Special features: Interview with Benjamin Bagby; discussion with Beowulf scholars John Miles Foley, Thomas Cable and Mark Amodio. Recorded live at Dunkers Kulturhus, Helsingborg, Sweden, January 2006. 98 min. DVD 7828

The Atwood Stories.
An anthology series of six segments from the Canadian television series originally produced in 2003, based on short stories by Margaret Atwood.

Vol. 1 (Disc 1)

Polarities: A young American takes a teaching job at a university in the Canadian north where he engages in an undefined relationship with an emotionally unstable female student. As her state of mind deteriorates, their involvement moves to a sad reluctant betrayal.

Man from Mars: Christine is a plain girl in a family of slender beauties. One day, an impoverished Asian exchange student insinuates himself into her life and she actually begins to feel attractive. But when the young man's odd behaviour is called into question, the police become involved and Christine is ultimately forced to make a difficult choice.

Vol. 2 (Disc 2)

Betty: In rural Ontario, young Alice and her family move into their small summer cottage next door to kindly Betty and her husband Fred. Before the summer is over, Fred has run off with another woman and Betty has suffered a breakdown. Years later, when an erratic Betty reappears in their lives, teenaged Alice must come to terms with the world's unfairness.

Death by Landscape: Sixty-five-year old Lois compulsively collects landscape paintings, although she never goes near the wilderness. A new painting sends her on a flashback to a summer camp of her youth, when she and her best friend, Lucy embark on a camp canoe trip. In a moment, which Lois has contemplated for over fifty years, Lucy silently disappears near the edge of a cliff, never to be seen again. Now, Lois gazes into these paintings as if her young friend might re-emerge from deep within the wilderness they depict.

Vol. 3 (Disc 3)

Isis in Darkness: Richard, a would-be-poet in his early twenties is entranced by Selena, a talented young poet who is clearly the real thing. But when she criticizes his poetry and rejects him romantically, Richard marries another. Years later, a chance encounter with Selena pushes Richard's marriage to its inevitable demise. And still later, news of Selena's death galvanizes Richard into the fevered work that becomes a celebration of Selena's life and poetry.

Sunrise: A reclusive painter tries to maintain tight control over every aspect of her life in order to keep at bay the dark forces which threaten to overcome her. As a result she cannot engage with her subjects and her art falls short. Finally, by engaging with a seemingly dangerous young man, she breaks through her demons.

Bertolt Brecht: Practice Pieces
A 1964 performance, in English translation, of two of Bertolt Brecht's largely unknown and seldom performed "Ubungstucke fur Schauspieler" -- "Practice pieces for actors" which he wrote to train actors in his own method for doing classical drama. These scenes were meant to be vigorously rehearsed, but then omitted when the play was presented. The idea was to oblige the actors to embody their characters' human weaknesses. Brecht felt this would undercut any tendancy to adopt a "heroic" interpretation of the characters portrayed. This video contains the scenes for "Romeo and Juliet" and "Hamlet". Cast: Lotte Lenya, Roscoe Lee Browne, Micki Grant, Oliver Clark, Michael Lebeck. 28 min. Video/C 5621
