Edith Carlmar - bedre enn sitt rykte

Edith Carlmar (1911 – 2003) was Norway's first female director and a prominent figure in Norwegian film history. She created some of Norway's biggest box-office successes of all time. Agnes Moxnes interviews a frank and honest Carlmar, who talks about her movies and the times they were made. This DVD was released in 2011 in conjunction with the 100-year anniversary of Edith Carlmar's birth.

Meredith Monk

Profile of choreographer, composer and performer Meredith Monk, recorded on location in her home base, New York City. Monk discusses some ideas underlying her work: her attraction to the eloquence of the human voice, and the direct communication made possible by the abstract qualities of music; her emphasis on the poetic rather than the political; her belief in the power of images; her willingness to take risks. She describes her experiences in working in different media, such as audio recordings, films, and videos, and the challenge of weaving them together.
