And everything is going fine

After the death in 2004 of American theater actor and monologist Spalding Gray, director Steven Soderbergh (Traffic) pieced together a narrative of Gray's life to create the documentary AND EVERYTHING IS GOING FINE. Brilliantly and sensitively assembled entirely from footage of Gray, taken from interviews and one-man shows from throughout his career, it is a rich, full portrait, and autobiography of sorts, of a figure who was never less than candid but retained an air of mystery.

Double lunar dogs

"Based on Robert Heinlein's 1941 story "Universe," Double Lunar Dogs presents a vision of post-apocalyptic survival aboard a "spacecraft," travelling aimlessly through the universe, whose passengers have forgotten the purpose of their mission. As a metaphor for the nature and purpose of memory, the two main characters (portrayed by Jonas and Spalding Gray) play games with images of their past; but their efforts to restore their collective memories are futile, and they are reprimanded by the "Authority" for their attempts to recapture their past on a now-destroyed planet Earth."--Video Data Bank website.
