Docurama Films is dedicated to making critically acclaimed and cutting-edge documentaries available digitally and on DVD. The collection unites both classic and contemporary docs from award-winning filmmakers whose work continues to astound and enlighten. Since being launched by parent company New Video in 1999, Docurama Films has released over 250 award-winning and highly acclaimed titles. This year we celebrate our 10th anniversary of great docs. Among our releases for 2009: Academy Award®-winning director James Moll's hauntingly profound film Inheritance; a moving portrait of Estonia's fight for freedom in The Singing Revolution and Stacy Peralta's gripping Crips and Bloods: Made in America.
Films in the library include the Academy Award®-winning Murder on a Sunday Morning, Marjoe and Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision. In addition, Docurama Films specializes in definitive films like D.A. Pennebaker's seminal work Bob Dylan: Don't Look Back and The Brandon Teena Story (the true story behind the Oscar®-winning movie Boys Don't Cry), as well as films of enormous sociocultural relevance including Hacking Democracy and the Academy Award® nominee Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience. Docurama Films has also released the critically acclaimed The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill and Andy Goldsworthy's Rivers and Tides. In 2007, Docurama Films had its exciting first theatrical release with Air Guitar Nation, and in 2008, release highlights included Gypsy Caravan with Johnny Depp, the fun and engrossing expose King Corn, and the Emmy Award-winning Autism: The Musical.
