Man On Wire + La Marche De L'Empereur + Promises + Restrepo + Buena Vista Social Club [DVD]

- Man on Wire:
Man on Wire is an impressive document about the story - as real as it is incredible - of Philippe Petit, a young man who in 1974 turned his dream into a feat known as "the artistic crime of the century." A truly exciting work worthy of an endless list of international recognitions, recently culminated with the Oscar for Best Documentary Film.

On August 7, 1974, a young Frenchman named Phillippe Petit stepped on a cable illegally hung between the twin towers of New York, then the tallest buildings in the world. After an hour of walking the cable, he was arrested, psychologically examined and imprisoned before finally being released.


- The Emperor's Journey:
In the water the emperor penguin is like a dolphin, elegant, powerful and fast. On land he is the complete opposite, clumsy and desprotegido.Entonces So why does he abandon his natural environment to walk hundreds of kilometers through the inhospitable, frozen landscapes, in adverse conditions to the most remote part of Antarctica? He has only one motive and it is essential: the survival of his own species.
The Emperor's Journey will tell us this epic, in which love, drama, courage and adventure are mixed.

- Promises:
They live only twenty minutes away from each other but inhabit radically opposite worlds. There are seven children between 9 and 13 years old, a fascinating portrait of the Palestinian conflict. Brilliant, creative, authentic and unpredictable, Promises is an incredible window into the complexity of the situation in the Middle East. A film that everyone should see.

- Restrepo:
Restrepo tells the stories of a battalion of American soldiers in the Korengal Valley (Afghanistan), considered one of the most dangerous military destinations in the world. The film focuses on "Restrepo", a man who was killed in the middle of the war. There are no interviews with generals or diplomats, we want you to feel what they experienced as if you were one of them: a documentary film that will leave you breathless.


- Buena Vista Social Club:
Ry Cooder and Wim Wenders have known each other for years, as the former has composed the music for some of Wenders' films. During filming, Cooder, completely enthusiastic, constantly talked about his trip to Cuba and the recording of an album with old Cuban musicians, some already forgotten. Later the album titled " Buena Vista Social Club" appeared, becoming a world record winner with a Grammy. This film conveys the power of that album through the monitoring that Wenders and a small technical team did of the group in the recording studio and in their daily life in Havana. As a final touch, we will attend the Buena Vista Social Club concert at the legendary Carnegie Hall in New York.
