Tribeca Swag Bag
Win: DVD Copy of My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done
Two lucky readers will win a DVD copy of Werner Herzog's latest film, My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done from First Look Studios.
"This psychological thriller is loosely based on the mysterious true crime story of a young stage actor who, obsessed with a Greek tragedy he's rehearsing, slays his own mother with a sword... Brad McCullum (Michael Shannon) is a man terriby at odds with the world around him. His story emerges in a series of flashbacks that take us on a journey that includes the Peruvian wilds, an ostrich farm, a Mexican border town, and a quiet San Diego neighborhood."
The first collaboration between legendary filmmakers Werner Herzog and David Lynch stars Michael Shannon (Revolutionary Road), Chloë Sevigny, and Willem Dafoe. The DVD includes commentaries by Herzog, writer Herb Golder and producer Eric Bassett; interviews; and behind-the-scenes footage.

But when Kira develops feelings for him that violate their celestial/mortal separation, will she leave eternity behind for him?

The incidents shown illustrate how training, community expectations, socio-economic status of the subject, the threat of violence and discretion affect police behavior.'
Part of Red Channels' summer Visual Liberation screening series, presented in partnership with The Brecht Forum. And a follow-up to our presentation of John Marshall's 1970 film Inside/Outside Station Nine , on the Pittsburgh police department.

Win: Tickets to Salt of This Sea
Salt of This Sea played at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival, and will open at the Quad Cinema on Friday, August 13.
Annemarie Jacir's award-winning directorial debut represents a fresh, viscerally affecting, and definitive statement from second-generation Palestinian Americans. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Soraya (spoken-word artist Suheir Hammad) travels to Palestine to retrieve her grandfather's savings, frozen in a Jaffa bank account after his 1948 exile. Struggling to feel at home in the land of her ancestors, she meets Emad (Saleh Bakri), a young Palestinian whose ambition, contrary to hers, is to leave forever. When confronted with unwieldy official policies that deny her access to the fruit of her grandfather's life's work, she must take things into their own hands, even if it's illegal. Stubborn, passionate, and determined to reclaim what's theirs, she and Emad set out on a road trip for poetic justice across a lush Palestinian (now Israeli) landscape—after which there is no return.
Five lucky readers will win a pair of tickets to see Salt of This Sea at any Quad Cinema screening during the weeklong run: August 13-19, 2010. Note: There is no guarantee of seating, so make sure to pick up your tickets at least 30 minutes before the screening to avoid a sellout.

Win: Tickets to Enemies of the People
For the first time, Rob Lemkin’s doc Enemies of the People exposes the truth about the genocide in Cambodia. Despite the ongoing tribunals, the Khmer Rouge-perpetrated genocide in Cambodia (aka the Killing Fields) remains an unsettling chapter of history for the country. Enemies of the People follows journalist Thet Sambath's efforts to befriend the Khmer Rouge's grassroots killers and chief officers, gaining remarkably intimate access to their stories. He uncovers terrifying personal explanations for the genocide by allowing the perpetrators to speak for themselves. Given that his parents were among the approximately two million people who perished under the Khmer Rouge regime, Thet's dedication to reconciling the past with the present takes on even greater weight.
Enemies of the People opens at the Quad Cinema on Friday, July 30.
Five lucky readers will win a pair of tickets to see Enemies of the People at any Quad Cinema screening during the weeklong run: July 30 to August 5, 2010. Note: There is no guarantee of seating, so make sure to pick up your tickets at least 30 minutes before the screening to avoid a sellout.

Win: A Print of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Signed by Artist Shepard Fairey
This original print by artist Shepard Fairey was used for the poster design of the new documentary film, Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child, opening at the Film Forum on July 21.
Centered on a rare interview that director and friend Tamra Davis shot with Basquiat over 20 years ago, this definitive documentary chronicles the meteoric rise and fall of the young artist. In the crime-ridden NYC of the 1970s, he covers the city with the graffiti tag SAMO. In 1981, he puts paint on canvas for the first time, and by 1983 he is an artist with “rock star status.” He achieves critical and commercial success, though he is constantly confronted by racism from his peers. In 1985 he and Andy Warhol become close friends and painting collaborators, but they part ways and Warhol dies suddenly in 1987. Basquiat’s heroin addiction worsens, and he dies of an overdose in 1988 at the age of 27.
The artist was 25 years old at the height of his career, and today his canvases sell for more than a million dollars. With compassion and psychological insight, Davis details the mysteries that surround this charismatic young man, an artist of enormous talent whose fortunes mirrored the rollercoaster quality of the downtown scene he seemed to embody. The film features interviews with Julian Schnabel, Larry Gagosian, Bruno Bischofberger, Tony Shafrazi, Fab 5 Freddy, Jeffrey Deitch, Glenn O'Brien, Maripol, Kai Eric, Nicholas Taylor, Fred Hoffmann, Michael Holman, Diego Cortez, Annina Nosei, Suzanne Mallouk, Rene Ricard, Kenny Scharf, among many others.
