Virgil Films &
Entertainment will enter the New Year with the Jan. 13 DVD debut of documentary
filmmaker Daniel Dencik’s film festival-winner and real-life adventure, Expedition
to the End of the World.
An unlikely group of
artists and scientists (from various disciplines) board a classic three-masted
schooner and head off to explore the previously uncharted Tkke Opmalt Fjords of
Greenland. It’s not so much about who
they are, or what they say — which can range from the banal to the inspired —
but what they experience.
If you ever needed a
reason to go off on an adventure, especially to a place where humans rarely go,
Dencik’s film brightly serves as an infomercial for just that. Go … just go! The sights and sounds and the experiences of
exploration are reward enough.
Also on the Jan. 13
release calendar from Virgil Films is filmmaker Richard Linklater’s six-episode
travel web series, Up to Speed. With Boyhood,
his likely Best Picture nominee, arriving on both DVD and Blu-ray from
Paramount Home Media the week before (Jan. 6), the timing is perfect for this
special interest release.
Join Timothy
"Speed" Levitch as he takes you on odd adventures; truly odd and
whimsical adventures. Visit San
Francisco, but get a view unlike the traditional tourist … how about a “shoe
garden?”
Or visit, of all places,
Lawrence, Kansas and discover how Bloody Kansas was just that on this seemingly
quiet and picturesque landscape.
Chicago
… how about an obscure monument commemorating a violent event from the city’s
distant pass … no gangsters involved.
