The history of Gregorian chanting is known to stretch back to at least the 12th Century, if not further. Ismael Fernandez de la Cuesta has been instrumental in bringing these ancient wonders to a contemporary audience, and here he leads a concert that conjures up all the magic and spirituality of this haunting music. The concert originally aired on PBS, and is presented here in its entirety, with The Gregorian Chant Choir offering a faithful and evocative interpretation of some extraordinary songs.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

Ulrich Seidl`s (DOG DAYS, ANIMAL LOVE) camera takes confession in his coolly removed documentary, a fascinating look at the inner workings of six devout Catholics. Shot in various churches in the director`s native Austria, the film dispenses with interviews and consists of static shots of religious people speaking to the camera as if it were God. Their prayers offer insight into their deepest fears and concerns, while the lack of response intimates the filmmaker`s implicit question: is anybody listening? A woman laments her husband`s affair, while another discusses her Pakistani husband`s television habits, and a teenage boy reveals his sexual fantasies about Biblical stories. True to form, Seidl highlights the oddities located within the average soul, but his treatment is ever so slightly more compassionate than in his previous work.

One-stop Christian entertainer/author Frank Peretti writes religious fiction for every age, from adults (PIERCING THE DARKNESS and THE OATH) to teens (NIGHTMARE ACADEMY and HANGMAN'S CURSE) to very young children (THE COOPER KID series). Peretti hosts this Christian film for young children in his guise of Mr. Henry, an energetic inventor and storyteller whirling around his workshop while combining upbeat music, slapstick comedy, and Biblical scriptures to make his points about those wild and wacky Bible stories. This installment concentrates on the concept of obedience, with a spirited song from Mr. Henry's bluegrass band (the peripatetic Peretti actually makes banjos in his spare time), a puzzle offered by Mr. Henry's identical twin brother Professor Henry, Mr. Henry's truly wild version of the whale swallowing Jonah, and a unique account of the Adam and Eve misadventure with the forbidden apple: sometimes the price of disobedience can be the permanent loss of paradise.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAudio: (unspecified) - English
