Oscar nominated documentary If a Tree Falls comes to DVD today.

The FBI called them America’s “number one domestic terrorism threat.” The Earth Liberation Front (ELF) are famous for launching spectacular arsons against dozens of businesses they accuse of destroying the environment: timber companies, SUV dealerships, wild horse slaughterhouses, and a $12 million ski lodge at Vail, Colorado… Part coming-of-age tale, part cops-and-robbers thriller, If a Tree Falls focuses on ELF member, Daniel McGowan, as he goes from house arrest to facing life in prison. If a Tree Falls looks at a tumultous period in history when the word “terrorism” had not yet been altered by 9/11.

Extras on the DVD include what happened next updates, extended interviews with a fomer ELF member, an ELF Spokesman and a US attorney involved, a post screening Q&A with director Marshall Curry and cinematographer Sam Cullman, as well as deleted scenes and the film's trailer.

Carol Morley's Edge is screening this week at the BFI and Genesis cinema, but is now out on DVD for those not lucky enough to live in London.

Washed-up pop star (Paul Hilton) arrives at the Cliff Edge Hotel looking for inspiration and meets a guilt-ridden woman (Maxine Peake), who is desperate to recover her past. An older woman (Marjorie Yates) checks into a room with dark intent, but encounters a chambermaid (Ania Wendzikowska) who refuses to leave her alone. A blind date set up on the Internet between two teenagers (Joe Dempsie, Nichola Burley) fails to turn out like either of them expected. Over the course of two days and one night the hotel guests, frozen into the snowy landscape, begin to thaw - and to find a purpose that connects them all.

Extras on the release include a chat between the films producers Cairo Cannon and Tyrone Walker-Hebborn, a behind the scenes featurette and the film's trailer.

Order the DVD from the Dogwoof Shop (£9.99)
