The Other Side of the Underneath. 1972.

Обратная сторона дна / The Other Side of the Underneath. 1972.

The film is based on director Arden's "A New Communion for Freaks, Prophets and Witches", a play she staged with the Holocaust women's theatre troupe. It is comprised of a number of different episodes, each exploring a specific theme – female exploitation, voyeurism, sexual deprivation, etc. The Other Side is also a reflection of its creator's brush with madness.
The key concept behind The Other Side is intriguing. The film argues that madness is part of a cycle that leads to sanity. It also stresses that this complex process is often misunderstood by those who have never experienced madness. Cultural and societal taboos are cited amongst the main reasons for its existence.
The Other Side is also a radical feminist film, one that does not shy away from promoting chaos as a form of liberation. Purely political statements, however, are not part of the film's narrative.
Viewers unfamiliar with director Arden's legacy will undoubtedly be shocked with The Other Side. This is an extreme piece of cinema, which I suspect even the most liberal of viewers may find difficult to tolerate. There is a sense of anger in it that borders nihilism in its most pure form.
The Other Side is a film Dusan Makavejev would have loved to direct. It is controversial, provocative and very, very disturbing. Highly Recommended.
Director: Jane Arden.
Cast: Sheila Allen, Jane Arden, Jack Bond, Liz Danciger, Elaine Donovan, Susanka Fraey, Ann Lynn, Sally Minford, Jenny Moss, Penny Slinger.

Løperjenten / Kamilla / Betrayal. 1981.

Девочка на побегушках / Løperjenten / Kamilla / Betrayal. 1981
 NO. En familie i oppløsning, sett gjennom datterens øyne.
Familien er Vibeke Løkkebergs tema. I filmene blir vi kjent med familier som kjemper, ofte mot seg selv. Løkkeberg lar kameraet gli ned til de uskyldige og svakeste i konfliktene, barna. Løperjenten er en slik film.
Lille Kamilla bor i etterkrigstidens Bergen. Hennes far, Sverre Konradsen (Helge Jordal), er en konkurs fabrikkeier som vil til Amerika for å starte på ny. Med seg på planene får han Siri, en ung kvinne som overtar både arbeid og sengeplass, mens kona Lisa (Løkkeberg) blir overlatt til den finere kjøpmannen Nilsen. Han er også interessert i pengene Sverre tjente under krige
Dette er en hjerteskjærende, vakker og rystende skildring av etterkrigstidens Bergen, sett gjennom lille Kamillas øyne, laget av en av Norges mest særegne regissører. Filmen ble i 1995 satt på UNESCOs liste over Norges 15 mest betydningsfulle filmer.
EN. 1. Betrayal is set in Bergen in the year 1948. Seven-year-old Kamilla (Løkkeberg) growing up in Bergen, Norway just after the 2nd world war, is trying to deal with the father's adultery and mother's deep depression, as she befriends a boy. This endangers her.
2. Kamilla was originally released in Sweden in 1981, then made the specialty-house rounds in the US four years later. Nina Knapskog is astonishingly perceptive as the 7-year-old daughter of bitterly battling parents. Seeking an escape from the vitriol, Nina develops of friendship with a lonely little boy. Together the kids form a united front against the nastiness and callousness of the rest of the world. Echoes of the earlier child's eye view foreign classic Forbidden Games are inescapable, but the sheer virtuosity of Kamilla enables it to stand on its own lofty merits.
Director: Vibeke Løkkeberg.
Cast: Nina Knapskog, Kenneth Johansen, Helge Jordal, Vibeke Løkkeberg, Cato Alvær, Borge Berggreen, Charles Alvær, Torunn Berggreen, Johnny Bergh, Philip J. Borgli, Karin Zetlitz Haerem.

Turning. 2010.
On his sixth birthday Robert receives three beautiful old birds in his mother’s sitting room. A memory of an afternoon visualized through his eyes, with free spirited imagination - soaring and naive yet wonderfully dark. A gift scuttles across the floor... blue icing is nibbled, tea is sipped, lacey slips shifted, and between knobbly knees strange visions appear. The ladies weave an extraordinary tale of an emperor with no skin which grows like a vine and while the boy himself, older and wiser for his age, adds his own ending...
Through the eyes of young boy, we see the afternoon on his sixth birthday when he is visited by three old ladies bearing gifts and telling the story of an emperor with no skin.

NO. Det er noen voksne som ikke tror man kan bli forelsket når man bare går i femte klasse. Men det kan man. Jørgen + Anne = sant fikk femmere av et samlet norsk kritikerkorps, og er en varm barnefilm for hele familien.
Ti år gamle Anne Lunde har aldri brydd seg om forelskelse. Inntil hun møter den nye gutten i klassen, Jørgen Ruge. I tillegg har han flyttet inn i det forlatte og mystiske Helgahuset. Et hus som rommer mange hemmeligheter og et rykte om at Helga ble murt inn i veggen av sin egen far fordi hun gjorde alt, og mye hun ikke burde, for kjærligheten. Fra å være mest opptatt av ryktene om Helgahuset, ser Anne plutselig historien med nye øyne. For når Anne selv har vært mest opptatt av å slå guttene i håndbak eller løpe fra dem, tilspisses situasjonen når skolens peneste jente også forelsker seg i Jørgen Ruge. Og i motsetning til Anne har Ellen verdens lengste, vakreste hestehale, alltid pene, rene klær og jobb som skuespiller i en reklamefilm på TV. Kjærester siden barnehagen har hun også hatt. Men Anne har bestemt seg. Oddsene er kanskje ikke på hennes side, men Jørgen Ruge skal bli hennes kjæreste, ikke Ellens.

Efter taler og hurraråb sendes de to unge afsted på bryllupsrejse. Næste morgen begynder pligterne igen for børnene og nu er det Mie, der står for husholdningen. Hun herser med Ole og Per, der finder på alle mulige numre – for ikke at stå op. Ved morgenbordet kommer fru Sejersen (Agnes Rehni) til, og ved hendes hjælp får Lilleper overtalt Far til, at give ham lov til at blive ulveunge. Men skolen skal jo også passes, og da børnene – på grund af festlighederne i hjemmet – ikke har nået at læse på lektier, bliver det nogle faretruende timer for dem i skolen. Hjemme på vejen bor den lille norske pige Grete (Grete Nielsen). Hun er meget musikalsk og har samlet nogle børn, blandt andet Ole, Mie og Per til et skiffle-orkester. De øver sig så huset ryster, og særlig Per gør sig gældende, han blæser trompet med en hel Louis Armstrong. En dag oplever vi den...

The Genesis Children. 1972.

Генезис / Играя Бога / The Genesis Children.
 A charismatic leader and a high-spirited student group are on holiday in Italy. The surreal adventures of these friends are a free-flowing, four-part "multi-sensual symphony," bereft of traditional story line. One national critic described the boys' anarchic revelry as a "dream-like descent from civilization into the chaos reminiscent of Lord of the Flies."  
Director: Anthony Aikmen.
Cast: Peter Glawson, Jack Good, Mike Good, Vincent Child, Greg Hill, David Johnson, Butch Burr, Max Adams, Bubba Collins.

Knee Dancing. 2008.

Танцы на коленях / Knee Dancing. 2008.
 "Knee Dancing" director, producer and star Doreen Ross plays Laura Zuckerman, a young housewife tortured by experiences of childhood sexual abuse. This is a poignant display of the human mind desperately grasping for normalcy while having been "trained" otherwise at an early age. While Laura's mother is in the hospital for a long stay, her father terrorizes Laura. Sex then is the next step and before Laura's mother comes home her father makes her promise not to tell her mother what she has been doing to her. Laura's reality is now well tainted as she oscillates repeatedly between what is real versus what she thinks is real in the actions of both men and women towards her. This is an autobiography.
Director: Doreen Ross.
Cast: David Ariniello, Gertrude Clement, Gary Faulkner, Tina Faulkner, Roxanne Holland, Terry Logan, Doreen Ross, Chiah Tuck.
