• The White Dove (Holubice) / Josef Kilián (Postava k podpírání) - Two-film Special Edition | DVD | (28/10/2013) from £14.49   |  Saving you £-1.50 (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Second Run DVD present a unique double bill of two early works now regarded as two of the main precursors of the Czechoslovak New Wave. The White Dove is the bold and striking debut feature of master filmmaker František Vlácil (Marketa Lazarova; The Valley of the Bees). It is a sparse elegantly composed and stunningly beautiful tale of a wheelchair-bound boy and an artist who inadvertently intercept a homing pigeon and nurse it back to health. Josef Kilián is a dark and absurdly humorous biting allegory of life under the Communist regime. Author of the screenplays for Daisies Ikarie and a Jester's Tale yet Pavel Jurácek remains one of the Czech New Wave's most neglected artists. He made only four films and this surrealist masterpiece - inspired by two icons of Czech literature: the anti-militarist anti-authoritarian Jaroslav Hasek and the grotesque nightmares of Franz Kafka - was 'banned forever' after the Soviet invasion of 1969. Newly restored from original master materials these two remarkable films are presented for the first time ever in the UK.

• Art Lives - This Not That - The Artist John Baldessari | DVD | (15/10/2009) from £14.59   |  Saving you £8.40 (36.50%)   |  RRP £22.99

  John Baldessari revolutionised contemporary art in the 1960s and his artwork is still a profound influence on young artists today. Baldessari's work often attempts to point out irony in contemporary art theory and practices. His early photo-and-text works aimed to make art more accessible, looking for what he called "more of a common language". His paintings are collage-based, achieved by placing images in cut-out shapes or removing them to be replaced by others. This film reveals Baldessari in all aspects of his work: as an artist in his studio, alongside the technicians who support him, as a teacher interacting with his students, and as a passionate observer of the contemporary art scene in Venice and Basel. It offers valuable insights into the work of a radically modern-thinking artist and sharpens our perception of the often inaccessible world of contemporary art. The DVD also features You Call That Art, an exclusive interview of the artist by Allan Kaprow. Additional material includes interviews with David Hickey, Mike Kelly, Thomas McEvilley, Ed Ruscha, Coosje van Bruggen, Lawrence Weiner and Ealan Wingate. Art Lives, from Arthaus, is a powerful and arresting series of documentaries on artists and art movements released for the first time on DVD in the English language.
