I WAS A TEENAGE GUITARIST FOR THE CLASH! © the documentary film is based on the DIY book by Kathy DiTondo and Keith Levene published in 2014. This book with artistic custom cover was completely pulled off DIY from concept through marketing through finance through product development through post production through distribution and provided a main funding source for the completed PiL album called Commercial Zone 2014. The book recalls the DIY British music/art/design/cultural/political revolution that began in streets of West London and went global in 1976 as told to Kathy DiTondo by Keith Levene, founder member of "the only band that matters" - the Clash.. The Clash along with the Sex Pitols were the two major bands on the West London scene.

A group of young adults born during or just after the 1994 genocide against Rwanda's Tutsi people gather to find the courage to break a powerful taboo. Rwanda is one of the few nations in the world providing specialist counselling for children conceived through rape, who number 10,000 across the country. Here, course leader Emilienne, a mother, therapist and genocide survivor, helps the group to imagine a future free from family secrets and societal stigma. In a circle of supportive peers, they tell their individual stories and face their struggles together, in the hope their participation will advocate for others facing similar trauma.

NOVA '78 resurrects the legendary Nova Convention, the groundbreaking three-day gathering held in New York in 1978 to celebrate William S. Burroughs and the artistic revolution he inspired. Built from newly restored, previously unseen 16mm footage shot by Howard Brookner, the film captures extraordinary performances and intimate backstage moments featuring Patti Smith, Frank Zappa, Laurie Anderson, Allen Ginsberg, Philip Glass, John Cage, Merce Cunningham and many other defining voices of the era. More than a concert film or historical record, NOVA '78 is an immersive time capsule of a fleeting moment when literature, music, art and radical ideas collided to reshape contemporary culture.
