Classic Albums – Nevermind (2005) Bob Smeaton, USA

To put the album’s creation in historical context Director Bob Smeaton uses interviews with biographer Charles Cross, Rolling Stone magazine editor David Fricke and Sub Pop Records founder Jim Poneman. They discuss the burgeoning Seattle music scene of the late 1980’s, Nirvana’s Bleach album and the earliest sessions for the songs that comprise “Nevermind”. Recording studio segments that are a fun and revelatory trademark of the Classic Albums shows introduce the record’s producer Butch Vig. Using the multi-track master tapes, Vig deconstructs some of the songs and demonstrates how the gritty but melodic vocal lines (influenced by Kurt Cobain’s idol John Lennon) juxtaposed with post-punk buzz-saw guitars (The Who meets Sonic Youth) became a combination that lead to Nirvana’s nearly instant mass appeal.

The Corporation (2003) Jennifer Abbot / Mark Achbar, USA

Since the late 18th century American legal decision that the business corporation organizational model is legally a person, it has become a dominant economic, political and social force around the globe. This film takes an in-depth psychological examination of the organization model through various case studies. What the study illustrates is that in the its behaviour, this type of "person" typically acts like a dangerously destructive psychopath without conscience. Furthermore, we see the profound threat this psychopath has for our world and our future, but also how the people with courage, intelligence and determination can do to stop it.
