The career of director Elia Kazan through the eyes of Martin Scorsese. For Martin Scorsese, growing up in Little Italy, seeing On the Waterfront and East of Eden as a young man was a life-changing experience. Scorsese appears on and off camera throughout A Letter to Elia, taking us through Kazan’s life and through his own as well, and through his growing realization that there was an artist behind the camera, someone "who knew me, maybe better than I knew myself."

An intriguing choral work from Austrian Ernst Krenek, in which the composer manages to successfully combine the strict and complex harmonics of high renaissance polyphony with the laws of dodecaphony. The genres seem to be diametrically opposed to each other; the former the summit of tonality, the latter, of course, atonal. This results in a beautifully sung piece which, in all its austerity, is reminiscent of Stravinsky’s religious chants.
