From Dickinson, With Love

Hundreds of scholars and biographers have tried to explain the life and work of Emily Dickinson, but the famously reclusive poet remains an enigma. In LOADED GUN: Life, and Death, and Dickinson, stumped filmmaker Jim Wolpaw uses a decidedly unorthodox approach to create a documentary about the writer whose beautiful, haunting and cryptic poetry has never quite squared with her reputation as a sensitive spinster. Wolpaw's efforts to illuminate this ethereal subject - more than 150 years after her death - yield some hilariously frustrating results.

Explore Emily Dickinson's vivacious, irreverent side that was covered up for years — most notably her lifelong romantic relationship with another woman.

This installment of the Great Women Writers series celebrates American poet Emily Dickinson's works by reciting passages against the backdrop of rare archival photographs and authentic period imagery. Though she wrote more than 2,500 poems during her lifetime -- verses that reveal singular talent and complexity -- Dickinson (1830-1886) chose to publish only seven, making her one of the most reclusive American writers of all time.

Shot in Emily Dickinson’s bedroom, “Emily & Sue” explores Emily Dickinson’s isolation and feelings for her sister-in-law, Susan Huntington Gilbert Dickinson.

Though Emily Dickinson spent almost all her life in Amherst, Massachusetts, her poems represent a broad range of imaginative experience. They are rich in feeling, wide in their knowledge of nature, books, and geography, and expansive in their vision. Dickinson’s training in science suggests a source for her skill in accurate observation, whether of plants and animals or the workings of her own mind. The greatest effect of her scientific studies, though, is in her experimental attitude about life’s great issues.

Weaving together new, insider stories and archival video, several key players from the 2003 recall election of Governor Gray Davis look back at this one-of-a-kind political moment: Why it happened and what happened once it qualified.

United by the dream of setting a new world record as a relay team, five competitive swimmers reveal their lives, hopes and histories.

This short film -one of the last made by the Afro-Cuban filmmaker before his definitive expulsion from ICAIC in 1972- alternates shots of the assembly of a vehicle designed for workers' transportation with the exploration of the conditions of workers' representation and political participation in an assembly held in the workshop. The radical disjunction between image and sound interrupts the logic (and etymology) in which the agglutinating force of the "assembly" and the operation of the "assembly" of the parts converge in the dissonant structure of this documentary.

This episode perpetrated the great Spaghetti Harvest Hoax on April Fool's Day 1957. The filmed report appeared to show a Swiss family harvesting their annual crop of spaghetti which was growing on trees on their farm, talked about the efforts to eradicate the Spaghetti Weevil and discussed the selective breeding that had been required to produce spaghetti of a uniform length. Many viewers believed what they saw and contacted the BBC to enquire how to grow their own spaghetti tree: the advice that they were given was "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best".
