The Ref - DVD

Single Disc Version. Movie Only.

It's the eve of Christmas in northern Finland, and an archeological dig has just unearthed the real Santa Claus. But this particular Santa isn't the one you want coming to town. When the local children begin mysteriously disappearing, young Pietari and his father Rauno, a reindeer hunter by trade, capture the mythological being and attempt to sell Santa to the misguided leader of the multinational corporation sponsoring the dig. Santa's elves, however, will stop at nothing to free their fearless leader from captivity. What ensues is a wildly humorous nightmare - a fantastically bizarre polemic on modern day morality. RARE EXPORTS A CHRISTMAS TALE is a re-imagining of the most classic of all childhood fantasies, and is a darkly comic gem soon to be required perennial holiday viewing.

Direct from the Knitting Factory stage in downtown Manhattan, a Not So Silent Night features Kate and Anna McGarrigle in a live performance of the McGarrigle Christmas Hour, joined by Anna's children, Rufus and Martha Wainwright. A passionate and eclectic cast, including Emmylou Harris, Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson, performs original and classic Christmas-themed songs that bring the stage to life for a truly magical Christmas experience.
