A Night at the Family Dog

Saturday night at the movies, this one is an excellent example of San Francisco history. Produced by KQED ch 9, way back in 1970. To wit, there actually is a large number of concerts KQED did back then, just like this, many of them have been lost forever..Some of them have been smuggled out by former employees, and bless them because KQED lost most of it at some point, nobody knows for sure

Ilha Das Flores

nospam@example.com () — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 13:32:46 -0700

June 18, 2007

This could be video of the century. Usually regarded as one of the top twenty short films of all time , I helped make the subtitles for this during the last year, with the help of four people in Brazil, UK, and Japan. Up until now this was not available with English subs, except for one other site. The video itself is from an obscure French dvd with French overdubs, but it's better quality video. The text is based on the original Brazil/Portuguese script, which we got copy of last year and spent about 3 months transferring text files back and forth and redoing this again and again. Our credits are at the end of the movie in the subs.. The original Portuguese Brazilian version on lower quality VHS with embedded English subs is here.

One of the best shorts I've ever seen. Enjoy Ilha Das Flores, Isle of Flowers, 1990, Jorge Furtado
