"Five Films About Christo and Jeanne-Claude" chronicles a 30-year collaboration between acclaimed documentary filmmakers Albert Maysles and his late brother David Maysles (Gimme Shelter, Salesman, Grey Gardens), and the internationally renowned environmental artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude.

The Maysles brothers, along with such frequent co-filmmakers as Charlotte Zwerin and Susan Froemke, have captured the artists’ enduring relationship and the grandeur of their large-scale temporary public works. This series stands as a permanent document of the process, the political drama, the emotional investment, and the transforming effect the finished works have on all those who come in contact with them.

The five award-winning films have been digitally remastered with new transfers supervised by Albert Maysles. This set includes all five films on 3 DVDs, and an 82-page full-color booklet.

Disc 1 includes:

• "Christos’ Valley Curtin", which celebrates the dramatic hanging of a huge orange curtain between two Colorado mountains and the powerful effect it has on a community. Albert Maysles, David Maysles, and Ellen Hovde. 28 minutes.
• "Running Fence", an engrossing document of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's efforts to build a 24-1/2 mile long, 18 ft high fence of white fabric across the hills of northern California. The artists' struggle with local ranchers, environmentalists, and state bureaucrats ends when the fence is unfurled, reuniting the community in a celebration of beauty. Albert Maysles, David Maysles, and Charlotte Zwerin. 58 minutes.

Disc 2 includes:

• "Islands", a film that further explores the artists' fusion of culture, environment, and politics, documenting Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s fight for permission to surround 11 islands in Miami's Biscayne Bay with 6.5 million sq ft of bright pink fabric, interwoven with their struggle to wrap the Pont-Neuf in Paris and the Reichstag in Berlin. Albert Maysles, David Maysles, and Charlotte Zwerin. 57 minutes.
• "Christo in Paris". Winner of the Grand Prize at the Amsterdam Film Festival and winner of Best Cinematography Award at the Sundance Film Festival, this film explores Christo's escape from Bulgaria, his early years as a struggling artist, his romance with Jeanne-Claude, and the fulfillment of a 10-year obsession: the wrapping of the Pont-Neuf in Paris. Albert Maysles, David Maysles, Deborah Dickson, and Susan Froemke. 58 minutes.

Disc 3 includes:

• "Umbrellas", a film that explores how East and West are brought together through the medium of art as 1,340 blue umbrellas are opened in a rice-farming valley in the Japanese province of Ibaraki, and 1,760 yellow umbrellas are opened across a cluster of cattle ranches in the rolling hills of southern California. This is a beautiful journey filled with both triumph and tragedy. Albert Maysles, Henry Corra, and Grahame Weinbren. 81 minutes.

Extra features include:

• A new video interview in which Albert Maysles, Christo, and Jeanne-Claude discuss their friendship, the films, and their ongoing collaboration as well as the Gates Project for New York City's Central Park.
• Audio commentary on all five films by Christo, Jeanne-Claude, and Albert Maysles.
• An 82-page full-color booklet that contains an introduction by Albert Maysles, an essay by film critic Charles Taylor, and a detailed history of the projects with exclusive photos, technical details, film stills, and credits.
