"As we've come to learn more and more about dissociation, we've come to recognize that for highly traumatized individuals, that's a pretty normal process that many go through in order to defend themselves or maintain their safety, or to keep material split away because it's much too difficult to integrate it." Christine Courtois. Since dissociative disorders were rediscovered in the 1970s, enormous progress has been made in understanding how best to treat these trauma-based problems. This video series is based on the sequenced model for treating a dissociative disorder, in which the first phase is devoted to stabilization, safety, and symptom reduction, the second phase focuses on the trauma itself, and the final phase deals with resolution, reconsolidation, and reconnection. Released 1997.

From the ground-breaking director of ROCK HUDSON'S HOME MOVIES, Mark Rappaport takes us on a hilarious and provocative romp through the hidden and not-so-hidden gay undercurrents of Hollywood's Golden Years. Dan Butler acts as tour guide as he uncovers (despite efforts to launder American cinema of even the faintest traces of gay influences) Hollywood's squeamish fascination with gay eroticism and camp. Through the use of ingenious film Filmclips, along with Rappaport's signature witty insights, THE SILVER SCREEN: COLOR ME LAVENDER brilliantly uncovers the unmistakable homoerotic flirtations and the ambiguous behavior that richly imbued the performances of Danny Kaye, Jerry Lewis, Gary Grant and other film legends.THE SILVER SCREEN: COLOR ME LAVENDER is a rich and funny meditation on American sexual identity, film history and culture that will change the way you look at butch westerns or the campy charades of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby in their "buddy" road movies forever.. A film scrapbook, images, phrases from our past, hiding their meanings behind veils. Let's lift those veils, one by one, to find how images, at one time seeming innocent, have revealed, after decades, to have homosexual overtones.. "(Rappaport's) latest psychosexual documentary essay is a kaleidoscopic romp through the hidden (and not-so hidden) gay undercurrents of movie history, a kind of richer, headier, free-associative version of The Celluloid Closet." A- -Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly. "This dishy decoding of the 'Hollywood telegraph system,' whose characters and winky euphemisms masked a squeamish fascination with homosexuality, is a serious piece of fun.". -Daphne Merkin, The New Yorker

PERDITA DURANGO is Álex de la Iglesia's boldly subversive Spanish / Mexican sequel to WILD AT HEART, co-scripted by Barry Gifford and starring Rosie Perez and Javier Bardem with a supporting cast that includes James Gandolfini, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Santiago Segura and REPO MAN director Alex Cox. The eccentric, borderline surreal tale of a psychotic criminal couple (an utterly ferocious Perez taking on the role of Isabela Rossellini's character in the Lynch film, playing opposite Bardem as you've never seen him before) barreling through a voodoo-laced odyssey of crime that spans a trail of destruction from Mexico to Las Vegas. It's an intense, funny and disturbing film, bursting with unexpected moments and vibrant with de la Iglesia's breathtaking visual flair and provocative social commentary. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival**.
