Into the Deep: America, Whaling & the World is a two hour documentary by Ric Burns about the history of the whaling industry in the United States.

A film chronicling the American whaling industry from its origins in New England in the 17th century, through the golden age of deep-sea whaling, up to its decline following the Civil War. Narrated by Willem Dafoe, this film binds the story of American capitalism on the rise with a case study in maritime culture. The fate of the whaleship Essex—which set sail from Nantucket in the summer of 1819—is interwoven with the story of a young Herman Melville, whose own imaginative voyage into the deep would give rise to one of the greatest works of American literature, Moby Dick.

Other voices heard in the film include Robert Sean Leonard as Herman Melville, Josh Hamilton as Owen Chase & Peleg Folger and Vincent Kartheiser as Thomas Nickerson.

Andy Warhol fut l’un des artistes les plus importants – sinon le plus important – de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle. Ce documentaire captivant et souvent émouvant, brosse un portrait de ce personnage aussi génial que décrié, qui sut capter les turbulences d’une époque marquée par le changement. Ce fi lm est le premier à exploiter les immenses archives du musée Andy Warhol de Pittsburgh.À travers quantité d’images et de séquences inédites complétées d’interviews, il explore la vie et l’œuvre de celui qui deviendra le pape du Pop Art – depuis son enfance solitaire et sa formation à Pittsburgh – jusqu’à l’explosion de sa carrière à New York et sa mort prématurée 1987.

The title page of this film shows the shadow of a cross, with "No war is holy" written across the transept. Constantine’s Sword is the story of James P. Carroll's journey to uncover the roots of war. Carroll, a former Catholic priest whose father (Joseph Carroll) was a famous Air Force general, implies that there has been a relationship between religiously inspired violence and war, beginning with the adoption of Christianity by the Roman Emperor Constantine I in 312 AD. Constantine was convinced that he had won a battle because he had followed the instructions of a vision, to inscribe a sign of the cross (the Labarum) on the shields of his soldiers. In Carroll's view, this event marked the beginning of an unholy alliance between the military and the Church.
