Synopsis

“The Beatles Anthology” is the landmark documentary series exploring the life and times of the most influential and beloved band of all time, as told by The Beatles themselves. Beautifully restored by Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post in Wellington, New Zealand, the illuminating series includes a new ninth episode featuring previously unreleased footage of Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr during the creation of the original 1990s “Anthology” series and music project. The series spans the band’s gritty, hungry early days to the phenomenon of Beatlemania and global superstardom. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr take us along for the ride as they revisit the highs and lows and twists and turns of The Beatles’ long and winding eight years as a band.

This is the new episode—Episode Nine—that serves as a coda. It centres on footage of Paul, George and Ringo meeting up again in the 1990s, sitting for joint interviews about their time together, playing music together and listening to Beatles songs in the company of George Martin. They also talk about another aspect of Anthology’s inherent authenticity: the fact that it presents its story complete with complexity and contradictions.

Synopsis

Meredith Monk – composer, performer, theater director, and filmmaker – is one of the great artistic pioneers of our time, yet her profound cultural influence is often overlooked. Monk in Pieces is a mosaic that mirrors the structure of her own work, and illuminates her wildly original vocabulary of sound and imagery.

As a female artist in the male-dominated downtown arts scene of the 1960s and 70s, Monk had to fight for recognition and resources. Early reviews in the New York Times were vicious and sexist: “a disgrace to the name of dancing,” wrote one male critic, and “so earnestly strange in a talented little-girl way,” wrote another. Yet, as her celebrated contemporary, Philip Glass, says, "she, among all of us, was – and still is – the uniquely gifted one."

In the film’s final chapters, Monk faces mortality. We see her warily entrust her masterpiece, ATLAS, to director Yuval Sharon and singer Joanna Lynn-Jacobs for a new production at the Los Angeles Philharmonic. For 60 years, Monk has directed and performed in all of her music theater works; now she must learn to let go. What will happen to such singular work after she is gone?
