A love affair between a lawyer and a filmmaker is tested when the lawyer, after reading the filmmaker's diary, disguises herself as a man and jealously shadows her lover. The dynamics of sex and sexuality, career and commitment, fidelity and companionship are keenly explored. Digitally-restored and available for the first time on DVD, She Must Be Seeing Things is revelatory for its representation of a new lesbian desire, a politicized eroticism that mirrored the burgeoning butch/femme scene at the time. The film was attacked by anti-porn feminists as it arrived at the height of the feminist 'Sex Wars.' McLaughlin, together with Lizzie Borden and Bette Gordon, formed part of a small school of New York independent filmmakers that explored issues of gender and sexuality that had not until that time been addressed by Third-Wave Feminism, paving the way for future queer representations.

Award-winning filmmaker Larry Weinstein transports us back to the first difficult decades of the 20th century when Arnold Schönberg was struggling against the backdrop of poverty and war to bring his new vision of music to the world. Vienna at the beginning of the 20th century was a difficult home for Arnold Schönberg: poor and isolated, the revolutionary composer lived in one of Europe's most conservative musical scenes, and his provocative new music and Twelve-Tone method were met with hostility. Weinstein's documentary explores that period, featuring excerpts from live performances of Verklärte Nacht, the Gurre-Lieder, and String Quartet No. 2, among other works by the composer.

Christine Schäfer reveals how she has come to position herself in the top ranks of today's sopranos while still maintaining her artistic freedom. With razor-sharp wit and intelligence, she describes how she keeps herself grounded in a world that craves celebrities. Among the friends and colleagues who provide insights into her artistry as well as her refreshing normality are conductors Christian Thielemann and Sylvain Cambreling, stage director Christoph Marthaler, music journalist Jürgen Kesting, singer Jose van Dam and others. Christine Schäfer is the anti-diva of the vocal world, a no-nonsense, down-to-earth singer who transforms her opera roles and lieder recitals into grippingly realistic scenes of universal human drama. When it comes to choosing her repertoire and her roles, she unwaveringly follows her own path and refuses to subject herself to marketing campaigns designed to stamp her as the new heroine of whatever is currently in demand. With a repertoire ranging from early music to contemporary works, Schäfer does not need a specialty, and can even indulge in "light" music with Max Raabe's Palastorchester and hits of the 1920s. Excerpts from concert performances and rehearsals of works by Henry Purcell and George Crumb, from performances of Brahms' Deutsches Requiem, Verdi's La Traviata, and Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro impressively confirm her reputation as "the most versatile and exciting young female singer of today."
