This DVD is a perfect and very affordable way to add depth and spice to a public library video collection. Its delightful mix of shorts includes the kind of cutting-edge filmmaking that rarely makes the art-house circuit, let alone mainstream video shelves. Classic documentary filmmaking is well represented in the Academy Award- nominated Why Can't We Be a Family Again?, a heartrending portrait of two boys in foster care who won't give up trying to reconnect with the mother who abandoned them. On the other hand, nowhere else will you find the likes of Nira Nair's (Monsoon Wedding) 30-minute Laughing Club of India, about the recent explosion of "laughing clubs" in that country. And another cultural phenomenon is artfully rendered in Mojave Mirage, a film about the Mojave Desert phone booth that inspires travelers to brave the rugged back roads for the express purpose of fielding calls from strangers from around the world. The winner of a recent Student Academy Award is Family Values, a delightfully skewed parody of 1960s family serials profiling a suburban lesbian couple who run a "mom and mom" business cleaning gory crime scenes. The Sunshine provides understated commentary in its realistic rendering of life at one of the Bowery's last flophouses, while Lucy Tsak Tsak, an experimental film, uses 67 film slates over two minutes to trace the life and times of the first women to work in the Bulgarian film industry. Finally, the heartwarming We Got Us captures four elderly Jewish women during their weekly Mah Jong. A worthy addition to all collections, this eclectic mix is highly recommended.-Amy Cant#, Ann Arbor Dist. Lib., MI (c) Copyright 2010.
