"The Torture Never Stops"
"Frank Zappa's New York Halloween 1981 concerts were filmed live at The Palladium. This ""thing"" entitled THE TORTURE NEVER STOPS was created in it's entirety by Frank Zappa from the original concert production and intended by the artists as one of three television specials. This is the longest version of the three - the others, YOU ARE WHAT YOU IS and DUMB ALL OVER, having actually aired. Halloween was Frank Zappa's favorite holiday and New York was the site of Frank Zappa Halloween concerts for years! The billion and a half airings by MTV of the concerts followed on closely from the release of the double album, YOU ARE WHAT YOU IS in September of that year on Frank Zappa's own recently founded and thoroughly independent label, Barking Pumpkin. Much of the set list is drawn from that work. All Frank Zappa shows were unique experiences with Zappa on guitar and baton, leading his band on flights of improvisation and drawing ever more intense performances from them. THE TORTURE NEVER STOPS cements Zappa's reputation as one of the most innovative and challenging composers and performers of the 20th century."

"Gray Matter (2004)"
"In the spring of 2002 acclaimed filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Brother's Keeper Paradise Lost 1 & 2 Metallica: Some Kind of Monster) traveled to Vienna to witness the burial of the preserved brains of over 700 handicapped children. The victims had been murdered in a ""euthanasia"" clinic as part of the Nazi eugenics program that many consider the opening act of the Holocaust. GRAY MATTER chronicles the director's journey as he searches for forensic psychiatrist Dr. Heinrich Gross (notoriously nicknamed ""the Austrian Dr. Mengele"") who not only allegedly participated in these murders but also continued to experiment on the children's remains for decades after the end of the war while rising to prominence in Austrian society despite his past. Along the way Berlinger meets clinic survivors and other remarkable voices whom shed new light upon this shadowy legacy and the nation that now grapples with it's own denial. Why has it taken so long to bury these brains? Should science profit from knowledge gained from such immoral atrocities? If Dr. Gross is indeed responsible for these crimes how has he evaded justice for so many years? the film raises provocative questions about the nature of guilt redemption and denial prompting the Village Voice to write: ""As Berlinger walks among jarred brains... one can't help musing on the enduring ability of populations to ignore atrocity shift blame and spin convenient myth.""
