For Film Fans With A Conscience: Holiday Gift Membership In Indie DVD-Of-The-Month Club Is Sure To Inspire, Entertain

September 29, 2006

So your new love’s a lefty? Maybe your companion is a conservative? Or your in-law is an independent? No matter what their political persuasion, here’s one holiday gift they’ll talk about all year long. Hailed as a “film festival on DVD” by the New York Times, Ironweed DVD-of-the-Month club uses edgy, provocative independent films to rally audiences around socially conscious issues. Each month, it sends members a limited edition DVD to own that showcases a feature film and extras all centered on a theme, such as human rights, civil liberties, or globalization. For the 2006 holidays, Ironweed gift subscriptions will include the choice of one limited edition DVD from Ironweed’s back catalog of award-winning independent films (a $25 value). Gift subscriptions are available in the following packages: 3 month subscription: $44.85; 6 month subscription: $89.70; 12 month subscription: $159.90. To order a holiday gift subscription online, visit https://www.ironweedfilms.com/subscription/gift. Since its launch in December 2005, Ironweed has showcased film festival hits that movie fans won’t find at their local multiplex, DVD store, or online rental site. Past Ironweed selections have included: “Street Fight,” a 2006 Oscar nominee for Best Documentary Feature about a Newark, NJ mayoral race; “Private,” an acclaimed fictional film about life in the Palestinian territories; and “Seoul Train,” a powerful documentary about the modern-day underground railroad helping North Korean refugees escape persecution. “All Ironweed films are as entertaining as they are edgy, and all of them were too dangerous or too smart for Hollywood to embrace,” said Ironweed founder Adam Werbach. “This is definitely one gift that will keep on giving in terms of both entertainment and conversation.” In addition to receiving an exclusive Ironweed DVD each month, members also receive free membership in Ironweed’s passionate online community (www.ironweedfilms.com/community), where film lovers can discuss issues raised in Ironweed films, connect with nearby subscribers, host screening parties, and get active in the issues they care about.
