Documentary

People with 'kinky' / curly hair have been the butt of every hair joke worldwide for centuries. From name-calling, discrimination across all platforms, lost opportunities and more, these issues tend to take a toll on the lives of 'naturals' around the globe. 'Sorf Hair.' explores the natural-hair experience in Trinidad and Tobago as several people, from all walks of life and different hair textures, unearth their stories, challenges, and give their points of view on how and why naturals are treated the way they are in this country.

Story of My Hair2011Documentary

The story of my hair can be told in two lines. My hair was long and black. It has turned white. It hasn't been cut since 1982, almost thirty years ago. Story of my Hair is a journey, both in space and in time. Anyone looking for truths, whether geographical, scientific or historical, will be disappointed. After looking at real events and real places the film very soon distances itself from them, preferring poetry and fiction. In his own fashion the auteur has combined the story of Samson and Delilah, the journey of those condemned to the death camps, the science of hair and a few thoughts about the meaning and fragility of life.

Bald: The Making of 'THX 1138'1971Documentary

The film features a conversation between Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola, producer of THX 1138. They discuss Lucas' vision for the film, including his ideas about science fiction in general and in particular his concept of the "used future" which would famously feature in his film Star Wars. Intercut with this discussion is footage shot prior to the start of production of THX 1138 showing several of its actors having their heads shaved, a requirement for appearing in the film. In several cases the actors are shown being shaved in a public location. For example, Maggie McOmie is shaved outside the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, while Robert Duvall watches a sporting event as his hair is cut off. Another actor, Marshall Efron, who would later play an insane man in the film, cut off his own hair and was filmed doing so in a bathtub.
