Danny Says is a documentary on the life and times of Danny Fields. Since 1966, Danny Fields has played a pivotal role in music and "culture" of the late 20th century: working for the Doors, Cream, Lou Reed, Nico, Judy Collins and managing groundbreaking artists like the Stooges, the MC5 and the Ramones. Danny Says follows Fields from Phi Beta Kappa whiz-kid, to Harvard Law dropout, to the Warhol Silver Factory, to Director of Publicity at Elektra Records, to "punk pioneer" and beyond. Danny's taste and opinion, once deemed defiant and radical, has turned out to have been prescient. Danny Says is a story of marginal turning mainstream, avant garde turning prophetic, as Fields looks to the next generation.
Controversial Pakistani cleric Maulana Aziz, linked to the Taliban, declares jihad against the government to impose sharia law. The government retaliates by destroying his seminary, killing his mother, brother, his only son and 150 students. The film follows charming yet menacing Maulana Aziz on his personal quest to create an Islamic utopia, which causes the country to implode. The Red Mosque has students allied with ISIL, and strong ties to the Taliban. We meet two Red Mosque students whose paths diverge: Talha, 12, leaves his moderate Muslim family to study to be a jihadi preacher. Zarina, also 12, escapes her madrassa and joins a normal school. Her education is threatened by frequent Taliban attacks on schools like her own. In December, 2014, the Taliban massacred 132 schoolchildren in Peshawar, outraging Pakistan's moderate majority. Aziz's longtime opponent, education reformer Pervez Hoodbhoy joins the re-energized anti-extremist movement. Throughout the film, he passionately opposes Aziz on television and public forums. With the tide turning against the cleric, Pervez is determined to see Aziz put in jail. Intimate and brutally honest, AMONG THE BELIEVERS offers rare insight into the ideological battle shaping Pakistan and the Muslim world.

Leonardo da Vinci笔下画作《Salvator Mundi》自2017年以$4.5亿美元成交后,一举为世人所熟知,更被称为男版《Mona Lisa》,殊不知这幅画最初是在New Orleans一家乏人问津的拍卖行寻得,当时更仅以$ 1,100美元售出,在经过寻常的廉价工法修复时才真正令隐藏的精湛画技被重新注意,随后价值水涨船高,尽管至今仍有不少人质疑它出自Leonardo da Vinci之手的真实性。
而纪录片《The Lost Leonardo》便是以《Salvator Mundi》为题,深入探讨其神秘起源与阴暗面,同时除了艺术本身,更带到了伴随艺术的权力金钱斗争,背后牵扯的正式金字塔顶层的人与全球最具权势的艺术机构。
