Deaf Crocodile has done an outstanding job with their Blu-ray releases of two films directed by Oldrich Lipsky.
They are:
The Mysterious Castle in the Carpathians (1981)
Adela Has Not Had Supper Yet (1977)
Both films are very clever and Adela is really funny. I strongly recommend them.
Colorado Memory Systems made tape drives in the 1980s and 1990s. I installed one in a Gateway 2000 PC, I got this promo handkerchief, too. Tape drives were superseded by better and faster technology devices that could store more data.
The Phynx (1970) is not a good film but it is very entertaining. It’s someone’s idea of what would appeal to teenagers. It features an assembled band like the Monkees with songs by Leiber and Stoller.
It has an amazing cast of actors doing cameos. See this description from YouTube:

Dorothea Lange was a great photographer. She is probably best known for her photos from the Depression.
There are books available from the National Gallery and MOMA exhibitions linked to below. There’s also a DVD from PBS.

The Library of Congress had an exhibit about her and also has many of her Depression photos
This is her most famous photo:
