9 Films for April, 2004

The story behind FIRECRACKER has a unique and individual tone. In the larger more complete aspect of cinematic history, it stands alone. However, we'd like to encourage you to view the following motion pictures - either before you see FIRECRACKER, or after. These films have very different stories and diverse ways of communicating them. They are not like FIRECRACKER, nor unlike it. Simply think of them as an appetizer to enjoy before the main entrée.

Some of these titles are not available on DVD. Also remember: the imdb may indeed offer some kind of resource for learning more about films - but beware - it contains inaccurate information and should never be considered seriously.
