Arts Engine’s Ten Year Anniversary Collection celebrates the power of film to create positive change. The new DVD box set showcases the highly acclaimed, yet previously hard-to-find, feature-length documentaries and short films of the past decade.
Highlights of the box set include: Deadline, an Emmy-nominated look at capital punishment in the United States; Outside Looking In, which explores the complexities of trans-racial adoption; Election Day, a timely and powerful look at the state of democracy in the U.S. today; and Laurie Collyer’s directorial debut Nuyorican Dream, which chronicles a Puerto Rican family struggling to overcome poverty in Brooklyn. Collyer recently wrote and directed Sherrybaby starring Maggie Gyllenhaal.
While the films have been hits at festivals around the world–from Sundance to Berlin to South by Southwest–and broadcast by outlets such as NBC, HBO, and P.O.V., several of the films in this box set were not available on DVD until now.
The two Media that Matters DVDs included in the box set are: Media That Matters: Good Food, a collection of festival shorts focused on food and sustainability, and the eighth annual Media That Matters Film Festival, featuring 12 shorts from the 2008 festival.
