Known For

Sussex, England, 1938. Shortly before the outbreak of World War II, Thomasina and Martha Hanbury, two ingenious sisters, create LOLA, a miraculous machine.
From the Basement
First DVD release from this refreshingly basic UK music programme puts the music in the foreground with an impressive role call of acts. With sparse production and no filler (no host, no audience, just artist centre stage), From The Basement's eclectic line-up reads like a contemporary alternative who's who; The White Stripes, Sonic Youth, Radiohead, Thom Yorke, Albert Hammond Jr., The Shins, Beck, Damien Rice, José González, Super Furry Animals, Eels, and more.
Mr. X
The image of a mysterious, solitary filmmaker - a cineaste maudit - who flees from both the media and the public, is unrelentingly bound to the figure of Leos Carax, in France. Elsewhere, the real focus is on his films and he is considered to be an icon of world cinema. Mr.X dives into the poetic and visionary world of an artist who was already a cult figure from his very first film. Punctuated by interviews and unseen footage, this documentary is most of all a fine-tuned exploration of the poetic and visionary world of Leos Carax, alias "Mr.X".

Tribute to David Bowie - Heroes Never Die
The Molotovs kick things off in style with “Rebel Rebel,” followed by magical covers of “Heroes” (The Horrors), ‘Fascination’ (La Roux), “Let's Dance” (Jeanne Added), “Rock'n'Roll Suicide” (The Libertines), “Sound and Vision” (Anna Calvi), “Starman” (The Divine Comedy), and “The Man Who Sold the World” (Yasmine Hamdan): eight intense reinterpretations of David Bowie's work, delivered during an arty and decidedly London-esque stroll, which, from stage to studio, recreates the fragile intensity of a live performance.
