Patti Smith

Now well into his eighties, Delsener shows little sign of slowing down. At one point, the camera follows him as he ping-pongs across New York attending multiple concerts in one evening. His love for the work of putting on a show shines through as he drags the filmmakers through crowds and backstage so he can chat with artists and crew members. Interspersed with these present-day adventures are looks back on the highlights of Delsener’s career, reflecting his own intense nostalgia. It’s rare that a documentary so completely embodies the personality of its subject.

“Nothing is typical for Werner, only the atypical is typical for him.” This is just one of many attempts to characterize Werner Herzog. Documentary filmmaker Thomas von Steinaecker spoke to actors, directors, directors of photography and producers who have worked with Herzog over his long career—including directors Chloé Zhao, Joshua Oppenheimer and Wim Wenders, singer Patti Smith and actors Nicole Kidman, Christian Bale and Robert Pattinson. We also hear from Herzog himself, with extraordinary anecdotes about film locations and shoots, his admiration for Lotte Eisner, and his eternal search for beauty. The interviews are carefully punctuated by archive footage of Herzog never seen before, iconic excerpts from his feature films and documentaries, and his cameos in cartoon series such as The Simpsons. Together they create a kaleidoscopic image of a radical visionary and dreamer, and of his very own “Werner World.”

I felt distant. Not just from other children, I felt far from the whole world. I spent my childhood in think I was an alien. " Little Patti grew up in rural New Jersey and received a religious education from her Jehovah's Witness mother. But Patti Smith leaves the movement, which does not suit her artistic inclinations.

When Howard Brookner lost his life to AIDS in 1989, the 35-year-old director had completed two feature documentaries and was in post-production on his narrative debut, Bloodhounds of Broadway. Twenty-five years later, his nephew, Aaron, sets out on a quest to find the lost negative of Burroughs: The Movie, his uncle's critically-acclaimed portrait of legendary author William S. Burroughs.

젬 코헨의 사적인 다큐. 거리의 인생, 시간, 빛을 통해 도시의 이미지를 전시한다. 뉴욕, 모스크바, 상트페테르부르크 등에서 특정 시간에 기록한 이미지의 조합으로 만들어졌다. 음악, 동물, 마법 같은 일상에 관한 영화. (2015년 제16회 전주국제영화제) 리뷰 로 알려진 미국 작가 젬 코헨의 신작. 15개의 장으로 구성된 도시에 관한 영화인 동시에 일상세계의 이미지들을 테마로 한 영화이다. 은 뉴욕과 모스크바, 상트페테르부르크, 이스탄불 등지에서 특정한 시간에 기록한 이미지들의 조합으로 만들어졌다. 분리되어 있지만 상호 연관된 삽화로 구성된 이 영화는 코헨의 영화 중 가장 개인적인 작품일 것이다. 추상적이지만 우아한 이미지들의 병치를 통해 각각의 장소에서 공통의 줄기를 발견해낸다. 카메라는 어떤 목적성을 드러내지 않고 거리의 삶, 빛과 시간, 음악, 동물들과 일상의 마술적 순간들을 잡아낸다. 은 아름답고, 독창적이고, 마음을 울리는 작품이다. 코헨의 다른 영화들처럼 이 영화는 다큐멘터리의 전통에 뿌리를 두고 있지만, 어떤 영화들과도 다를 만큼 위반적이기도 하다. 크리스 마르케에게 영향을 받는 비주얼 아티스트로서 코헨은 완벽한 구도나 시선을 사로잡는 이미지에 관심을 두기 보다는 삶의 조각들을 비관습적인 방식으로 포착하는 것에 진력한다.

Rock My Religion is a provocative thesis on the relation between religion and rock music in contemporary culture. Graham formulates a history that begins with the Shakers, an early religious community who practiced self-denial and ecstatic trance dances. With the "reeling and rocking" of religious revivals as his point of departure, Graham analyzes the emergence of rock music as religion with the teenage consumer in the isolated suburban milieu of the 1950s, locating rock's sexual and ideological context in post-World War II America. The music and philosophies of Patti Smith, who made explicit the trope that rock is religion, are his focus. This complex collage of text, film footage and performance forms a compelling theoretical essay on the ideological codes and historical contexts that inform the cultural phenomenon of rock 'n' roll music.

Harry Smith’s final film; an epic four-screen projection. Smith worked on this cinematic transformation of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht’s opera Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny (1929) for over ten years and considered it his magnum opus. The film was shot from 1970 to 1972 and edited for the next eight years. The “program” of the film is meticulous, with a complex structure and order. The Weill opera is transformed into a numerological and symbolic system. Images in the film are divided into categories— portraits, animation, symbols and nature— to form the palindrome P.A.S.A.N.A.S.A.P. The film contains invaluable cameos of important avant-garde figures such as Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, and Jonas Mekas, intercut with installation pieces from Robert Mapplethorpe’s studio, New York City landmarks of the era, and Smith’s visionary animation.
