Questions for the Movie Answer Man: The Motion Picture Academy has named the 12 finalists for the best documentary category. Two of the titles jumped off the list for me: "The Story of the Weeping Camel" and "Touching the Void." Since both of these films were fictionalized versions of their stories and employed actors to play many of the roles, how do they qualify as documentaries?
The truth of St. Moritz began to recede," says [Mario Valdes]. "How could European Christians, in good conscience, slaughter millions in the Middle Passage if they were seen as co-equal heirs of Christ's covenant? How could they be thrust into the foul holds of coffin ships if they were not just the co-equals of European Christians but Christ's own companions and martyrs? Valdes, who has produced documentary material about Alessandro d'Medici, the "Black Duke" of 15th century Florence, and Jan Matzelinger, the Afro-Dutch inventor of the shoe-lasting machine that enriched Boston merchants, is currently working on a lengthy documentary about St. Moritz. Meanwhile, he regularly contributes his scholarship to programs about the vaunted "Spear of Destiny" reportedly carried by the African ...
Following the Jewish Revolt and the destruction of the Jewish Temple in 70 CE, there were large-scale destabilizations of the Jewish population in Palestine. Information regarding economic decisions has always been available indirectly from Jewish and Roman legalistic material, but it has been insufficiently mined for economic insights. Furthermore, over the last forty years, new documentary material has become available from the second century. This note discusses some interesting aspects of how people managed to transfer resources over time in those turbulent times. Specifically, I look at two cases of asset transfer where the primary purpose was to transfer wealth over time. I explore the role of market frictions in both cases and make comparisons to present-day circumstances.

SOMETHING'S COMING: In 1961, nearly every moviegoer in America was in raptures over "West Side Story." A musical reboot of "Romeo and Juliet," set amid the teen gangs of New York, this blockbuster hit was bursting with finger-popping energy, and brimming with classic Leonard Bernstein-Stephen Sondheim songs ("Something's Coming," "Tonight," "Maria," "Cool," "America," "Somewhere," "A Boy Like That"). You can see what all the fuss was about when "West Side Story" comes to selected local theaters Wednesday for a 50th anniversary return to the big screen. Included: behind-the-scenes documentary material featuring Robert Osborne of Turner Classic Movies and "West Side's" best supporting actor Oscar winner George Chakiris. A BOY LIKE THAT: "West Side Story" was the greatest movie Elvis Presl...
It is so very sad that our local so-called "leaders" have so very little respect for this city's history -- namely Mario Lemieux and Penguins ownership, and others in city government who can't see beyond the dollar bills to realize Civic Arena demolition has nothing to do with doing right by the Hill's residents. Most of the glitzy chain stores and townhomes to be built there will be too expensive for the average person, anyway. It's all a big mistake -- so sad, another treasure lost. At least Rick Sebak has more documentary material now. Larry Zalewski
These young musicians are the next developing generation of "cultural ambassadors" to rep- resent Harlem, USA, just as the great and legendary jazz musicians of the Harlem Renaissance and the ensuing era did all over the world, including Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong, Josephine Baker, Edward Kennedy Ellington (Duke Ellington), Dizzy Gille- spie, Billie Holiday and Char- He Parker. Through their great artistry, the world recognized Harlem as the Black cultural capital of the world and jazz as one of the foremost genres of American music. Similarly, through their music, exempla- ry all-round education, community and civic pride, and a responsibility to social justice that are synonymous with the FDA's goals and mission for all its students, members of Harlem Samba, which are featured on the p...

Catherine Benamou's exhaustive (and at times exhausting), extensively researched, and convincingly argued book deals with one of the most famous of the "lost" projects, the four-part It's All True, set in Mexico and Brazil, and commissioned by the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs in 1941 as a "Good Neighbor" offering to Latin American countries during World War II, though funding was primarily provided by RKO, the studio for which Welles had just finished filming (but not finally editing) his second film, The Magnificent Ambersons. After considering a variety of topics, Welles settled on a mixture of fictional and documentary material: a celebration of the Brazilian Carnaval; "My Friend Bonito," a story about the friendship between a young boy and a bull destined for...
