In 1982, the best of friends and still teenagers George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley as Wham. set out to conquer the world. By June of 1986, they played their very last gig at Wembley Stadium having done exactly that. Now, for the very first time, told in their own words, comes the amazing story of how in four years they dominated the charts around the world with timeless and classic pop songs. Hit after hit "Club Tropicana," "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go," "Freedom," "I'm Your Man" and of course "Last Christmas." Their time in the spotlight was white-hot, and they became the very first Western pop act to play in China. It was a time that both encapsulated and epitomized not just their youth but also that of the many millions of fans that adored them.

Guy Debord's landmark cinematic analysis of consumer society is based on his influential sociological book "La société du spectacle" (1967). Debord was a leading member of the avant-garde art movement 'Situationist International'. This cinematic essay uses their method of 'détournement' to decontextualize and rearrange preexisting audiovisual materials and texts to critizise them and create new meaning. The result is a subversive collage of ideological (moving) images from socialist and capitalist societies that are presented here as artefacts of a global media 'spectacle': Social relations between people are mediated by artificial images and false representations that transform humans into mere passive consumers and 'spectators' of their alienated existence. Guy Debord's motivation was to create a radical social critique and a disruptive, anti-illusionist cinema as an antidote and revolutionary tool against the dominant cultural and sociopolitical forces of his time.—Anonymous

They defined music and popular culture like no other band ever will - but how did The Beatles make the journey from Merseyside teenagers to international pop stars in the 1960s? Made on Merseyside - The Beatles discovers how American rock 'n' roll and rhythm and blues dragged post-war Liverpool into one of the most vibrant music cities ever with the Mersey Sound. Featuring revealing interviews from those involved in the early years of The Beatles in Liverpool and Hamburg and unique archive, the incredible story of The Beatles' previous band formations and why it took so long for them to achieve success makes riveting viewing. From school bands, to colleges; Hamburg to The Cavern Club, The Beatles changed the world of pop music forever, but was Pete Best's sacking from the band and Ringo's replacement the final part of the jigsaw?—Paperback Writer

Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Captain Fred (Lance Percival) and his Yellow Submarine recruit The Beatles to help save Pepperland. Along the way, they fall through the Sea of Time, Sea of Nothing, Sea of Holes, and more. They meet Jeremy Hillary Boob Ph.D. (Dick Emery) and take him with them for the adventure. At Pepperland, The Beatles "rally the land to rebellion" and take down the Blue Meanies, the four-headed Meanie dog, and the Dreadful Flying Glove (with the songs "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", "With A Little Help From My Friends", "Hey Bulldog", "All You Need is Love"). In the end, all four live-action Beatles sing "All Together Now".—John Vogel

A unique historical chronicle of the enduring love affair between The Beatles and India that started more than half a century ago. Rare archival footage, photographs and eye-witness accounts, along with location shoots across India, bring alive the fascinating journey of George, John, Paul and Ringo from their high-octane celebrity lives in the West to a remote Himalayan ashram in search of spiritual bliss - a time that inspired an unprecedented burst of creative songwriting. This is the first serious exploration of how India helped shape the evolution of the iconic band, and how they helped bridge two vastly different cultures.—UK Asian Film Festival

This Pop Rock documentary features, in color, only recording acts from the British side of The Atlantic, in music-video format--two decades ahead of its time. Also, "Adult Contemporary" is well-represented by International Pop star Matt Monro, who sings "Walk Away" and "For Mama". Concert footage of The Beatles is included to "open and close the show". They are seen performing "She Loves You" and "Twist And Shout". Among the many recording acts are The Animals singing "The House Of The Rising Sun" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas performing "Little Children", The Rockin' Berries does an excellent cover of The Tokens's earlier recording of "He's In Town",The Honeycombs, featuring female drummer Honey Lantree, performing "Have I The Right" and "Eyes" and Herman's Hermits performing their breakthrough hit, "I'm Into Something Good". In back-to-back rocking performances, Billie Davis sings "What You Gonna Do" and The Spencer Davis Group with Steve Winwood sings "Get Down" with "My Babe". As with The T.A.M.I. Show (1964), there are some bright dance segments, which is probably why the original U.S. title in 1965 was "Go Go Mania".—efffee@aol.com

"The American Revolution" chronicles free-form radio station WBCN-FM and Boston's other underground media, from 1968 to 1974, through the extraordinary original sights, sounds and stories.The American Revolution is a feature-length documentary film that takes viewers on a dazzling, rock and roll-fueled roller-coaster ride to witness the dramatic and historic political, social and cultural changes that took place in Boston MA during the late-1960s and early-1970's that would fuel the great transformations during one of the most volatile and historic eras in this nation's history.
The film chronicles the untold story of how Boston, beginning in 1968, on the heels of San Francisco's "Summer of Love" a year earlier, emerged as a central crossroad of the counterculture and New Left political activism. The story of the film follows the events that led to the emergence of the anti-draft and later the anti-Vietnam war protests, militant civil rights struggles, the women's and gay liberation movements, and the revolutionary activities of the Weather Underground, set against the powerful musical and cultural ferment of the day.At the hub of it was the radical, underground radio station, WBCN-FM, born on March 15, 1968, in makeshift studios in the dressing room of the legendary rock hall, the Boston Tea Party. Almost immediately, the station's unprecedented mix of new and eclectic music and subversive politics caught the ear of radio listeners, including the hundreds of thousands of high school and college students in the greater Boston area, and the station's impact soon spilled over nationally.This story of the radio station and the era will be told through a rich audio and visual filmic experience expertly and powerfully crafted from the original sights and sounds of the critical events of the era, as captured by some of the leading filmmakers and photographers of the time, gathered by producers in an unprecedented archival search that resulted in more than 100,000 items shared for the film, to be put in context by engaging and dramatic first-person accounts.We follow the personal and political journeys of a compelling cast of characters who were connected to the radio station, and whose lives intersected with militant anti-war activism, civil rights struggles, and the emerging women's and gay liberation movements. We watch as their struggles and activism, and their innovative use of media, helped change forever the roles and rights of women, gays and lesbians, and African-Americans in what had previously been America's white male-dominated society. Through our characters, we see the tremendous counter-cultural transformations of the era, as institutions of authority are challenged, sexual mores dramatically change, and the materialism that was for so long at the heart of the "American Dream" is called into question.Virtually every major political and musical figure during the era crossed paths with Boston, and with WBCN. Frequently heard on-the-air were such iconic activists as Professors Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn; Abbie Hoffman; Jane Fonda; Daniel Ellsberg; and John Lennon, among many others. Meanwhile, WBCN was a critical launch pad for the careers of many soon-to-be super groups, including those who intersected with the radio station during its early days in the dressing room at the Boston Tea Party. These include The Who; Led Zeppelin; Grateful Dead; Fleetwood Mac; and the Velvet Underground, which with the group's dozens of appearances at the Tea Party were virtually the club's house band. Later, the station jump-started the careers of Bruce Springsteen; Bonnie Raitt; Patti Smith; and Aerosmith, among many others, and gave critical wide public exposure to great blues and jazz artists who had been largely unheard by mass audiences, including B.B. King; Muddy Waters; Miles Davis; and Sun Ra, and later reggae music.The documentary, propelled by a powerful soundtrack of some of the most evocative and memorable music ever created, powerfully demonstrates media's role in creating social change and facilitating political dissent. The American Revolution tells a story that will resonate today, at a time when, once again, media is at the center of efforts for democracy and social change, by showing viewers, including a new generation of young people, how in the days before Facebook and Twitter, cell phones and GPS, powerful changes were facilitated through the convergence of media, politics and culture, perhaps most importantly music, creating a movement that helped end a war and drove two unpopular sitting presidents from office. At a time when it's never been easier to communicate, but never been more difficult to be heard, it's a timely and critical story to be told.
