Sidney Felsen Decorates an Envelope(2026)
Sidney Felsen, who passed away in 2024 at age 99, was a true Los Angeles institution. He co-founded Gemini G.E.L. alongside Stanley Grinstein in 1966 and spent decades overseeing, photographing, and befriending some of the greatest postwar American artists of his generation. Sidney kept a quiet, joyful ritual: decorating the envelopes that carried artists’ royalty checks, using his beloved collection of postage and rubber stamps that filled his iconic office — a room filled with photographs of every artist he had ever worked with. It was Julie Mehretu who first introduced Tacita to Gemini. Knowing Sidney’s deep affection for Julie, Dean asked him to decorate an envelope for her. The result is this poignant 14-minute film: Sidney, impeccably dressed as always, at his desk, doing what he loved most.

Night Will Fall(en)
When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
