"Moving to New York in 1978, filmmaker Henry Hills formed a strong alliance with the Downtown improvisers and the 'Language' poets, guiding his film work toward a rhythmic, multilayered world filled with unpredictable changes and a striking improvisational edge. The very best of his short, intense films are presented here -- from the downtown all-star Money to structural dance films like The Little Lieutenant and Bali Méchanique. A major force in new cinema, these films are brilliantly visual, crammed with image and double meaning. Also included is his 1990 music video for the band Naked Cty, Gotham." 90 minutes, NTSC all region, stereo, color, full frame 1:33.

Ontological-Hysteric Theater Vol. 2. "Richard Foreman is one of the great geniuses of modern theatre, and his dynamic staging of John Zorn's opera Astronome was one of his greatest works. Premiering in February of 2009 at his Ontological-Hysteric Theatre in the East Village, it continued its sold out run for months. Drawing upon Alchemical and Mystical imagery, the visual world Foreman created was sumptuous, provocative and mysterious. For this DVD, ten performances were captured on film from hundreds of angles and brilliantly edited by filmmaker Henry Hills, a longtime friend of both Zorn and Foreman. You can now experience this once in a lifetime presentation with a whole new intensity. Staged so as to hear the music 'better and clearer' than ever, Astronome is a revolution in opera/music-theater." NTSC all-region format; stereo; color; 16:9 aspect ratio; running time: 63 minutes.
