Hula girls [videorecording] : imagining paradise / writer/director, Trevor Graham ; producer, Andrew Ogilvie.
UniM Music DVD 141 SEVEN DAY LOAN
Notes: Off-air recording of the SBS program broadcast 25/5/05. Copied under Part 5A of the Copyright Act 1968.
Performers: Narrator, Kerry Armstrong.
Summary: This documentary is a visual exploration of the sexual mythology that has for centuries defined our notions of the Pacific Island woman. The hula girl is one of the most potent and sexually alluring images in popular culture today and has been for centuries. Award-winning documentary maker Trevor Graham asks why this popular rendering has maintained such a grip on the Western imagination as he looks at 18th century illustrations, Gauguin's famous island paintings as well as footage from both celebrated and less well-known Hollywood films. This documentary takes as its starting point the records of the first Western encounters with the beautiful Polynesian women of the Pacific. French explorer Bougainville relates in his journal his meeting with the Polynesian women who shed their clothes in welcome and when he returns to Paris he publishes an account that is widely-read and causes a sensation. So the Western image of Polynesian women and the island paradise is born into the popular imagination. Captain Bligh's inflammatory account of the mutiny on the Bounty also lays the blame for the mutiny at the feet, (or more precisely the hips) of Polynesian women and the myth of paradise and the seductive hula girls bedevilling men is perpetuated.

The human hambone [videorecording]
New York : First Run/Icarus Films, 2005.
UniM Music DVD 161 SEVEN DAY LOAN
Credits: Director, Mark Morgan ; producers, Cameron Burr and Ed Bedrosian.
Summary: This documentary, as entertaining as it is informative, demonstrates and celebrates the ways in which the human body can be used as a musical instrument. Animated by the heartbeat, our bodies are naturally responsive to internal and external rhythms, and music is an intrinsic part of the human experience. The film highlights the talents of a wide variety of both amateur and professional musicians and dancers throughout North America, from front-porch artists to stage performers, who use every part of the human body--head, feet, hands, mouth, arms, legs, torso--to make music. From merely using one's hands to slap out against thighs and chest the beats of the traditional song "Hambone," or the bodily expression of more complex musical rhythms, to the syncopations of tap and step dancing or the amazing, drum-like sounds the mouth is capable of making, this documentary reveals not only how the body resonates with natural rhythms but also how it can express a surprising variety of musical tones. The film incorporates interviews with scholars and archival footage to trace the historical roots of body music back to 18th-century American history, when African slaves were forbidden to use drums, and so resorted to the body itself as a percussive instrument. The film also examines body music within an anthropological framework-such as the unconscious expression of synchrony, or body language, between two people--as well as a biological context, demonstrating how the body is filled with natural 'clocks,' which account for the fundamental human connection with rhythm. The film is a showcase for an impressive roster of talented artists--Sam McGrier, the DC Coalition Step Team, Radioactive, Click the Supah Latin, Sandy Silva, Artis the Spoonman, and Jimmy Slyde, "King of Slides," a world-renowned tap dancer and winner of an NEA National Heritage Fellowship Award--whose infectious performances, conveyed through imaginative editing and gorgeous cinematography, will delight viewers of all ages.

English commentary by Oxford University scholar Paul M. Griffith.
Cast: BandÂŻo TamasaburÂŻo.
Summary: TamasaburÂŻo BandÂŻo, Kabuki's famous performer of female roles, appears in three Kabuki dance stories. Kagami Jishi features a young castle maid who is ordered to perform with a wooden lion head that she holds in one hand. As she does so, the spirit of the lion comes alive and possesses her, eventually dragging her off the stage. In the final scene the lion spirit re-enters in its true form and dances with a pair of butterflies. Kanaya Tanzen is one of the oldest in the repertoire of the Ogie-bushi School. The word Tanzen refers to the custom of handsome young city men, dressed in their best clothes, who would compete with each other in looks and style on their way to visiting their favorite courtesan. Kosu no To is one of the most famous songs of Juita, a kind of music evolved in the Kyoto/Osaka pleasure quarters.

[S.l.] : Cypres, c2005.
UniM Music DVD 195 SEVEN DAY LOAN
DVD contains the original film and the new TV version.
Performers: Donatienne Michel-Dansac, voice ; Ictus ; Georges-Élie Octors, conductor ; Kenka Lčkovich, video.
Summary: The aim of Index of Metals is to turn the secular form of opera into an experience of total perception, plunging the spectator into an incandescent matter that is both luminous and sonorous, a magma of flowing sounds, shapes and colours, with no narrative but that of hypnosis, possession and trance. It is a lay ritual, rather like the light shows of 1960s or today’s rave parties in which space, having assumed a solid form through the volume of sound and visual saturation appears to twist into a thousand anamorphoses. Rather than calling on our analytical ability, like most contemporary music, An Index of Metals aims to take possession of the body with its over exposition of senses and pleasure. An Index of Metals is thus not simply another attempt to the new operatic genre by adding a visual element to the production, nor is it a strictly multi-media approach in which each artist contributes to a common narrative. It is, rather, a completely new concept in which sound and light become part of a single through process, like music and video, where timbre and images are used as elements of a single continuum subjected to the same computer transformations. The story is that of the fusion of perception, the absence of landmarks, the henceforth limitless body in the furnace of a ritual mass of sound.

Summary: This episode looks at rock musicians' alliances with political parties and the result when the line between worlds blurs. Politicans, fascinated by rock stars's ability to generate emotional intensity among their fans, try to exploit the stars' image by using it for political propaganda.The trauma of September 11, 2001 leads to a sea change of political mood amongst some in the music world, and a re-evaluation of traditional loyalties and positions. Immersed in the political issues of the day, the rock community questions the vile and ugly aspects of the U.S. war on terrorism, and the way the Bush administration cleverly paralyse people from voicing their opinions by wrapping the U.S. flag around them. Includes selected archival footage of rock musicians' involvement in political campaigns, and public appearances with political candidates whom they supported. Includes also interviews with artists, who present their views on the pros and cons of supporting a political party, and the extent to which they should be involved.

When the road bends : tales of a gypsy caravan.
[Australia] : Hopscotch Entertainment, c2006.
UniM Music DVD 246
Credits: Directors: Albert Maysles, Alain De Halleux.
Summary: Features performances by leading ethnic musicians and groups including Antonio El Pipa Flamenco Ensemble, Ezma Redzepova, Fanfare Ciocarlia, Maharaja and Taraf De Haďdouks. Gypsy Caravans is a celebration of life, culture and music, the film documents the customs, lifestyle and art of the traditionally reserved nomadic European gypsies in a ‘fly on the wall’ documentary. While shooting, the filmmakers lived amongst the gypsies in their caravans and houses, which allowed for intimate and uninhibited access to every facet of their lives. Participants were encouraged to share their customs, beliefs, traditions and most of all, their music. The film follows these mysterious performers on their travels throughout their respective countries, and the result is a beautiful and honest account of the gypsy lifestyle, not to mention some stunning performances of traditional gypsy music. Five Gypsy bands from four countries unite for the Gypsy Caravan as they take their music around North America for a six-week tour, astounding every audience they meet. Their musical styles range from flamenco to brass band, Romanian violin to Indian folk. And with fire in their bellies and soul in their voices, they celebrate the best in Gypsy culture and the diversity of the Romani people in an explosion of song and dance. One of the most honest accounts of culture, tradition and relationships ever captured, Gypsy Caravans: When The Road Bends is guaranteed to warm you from head to toe, and the rousing performances of traditional gypsy songs will haunt you, get you dancing and instil in you the utmost respect for such an ancient and persistent culture.
