Info from the Filmoteca Española (auto-translated):
Sculptures for a Landscape (1975) is about the sculptures that were finalists in the International Sculpture Competition for the Mediterranean Highway. The documentary presented several complications during its production: it was very difficult to frame the sculptures due to their large size and the outdoor filming was highly conditioned by the weather. Medrano always had very small budgets, so her team usually consisted of herself, a camera assistant and a sound engineer, and they could not count on cranes or other materials that would have facilitated the filming. So this work was a constant exercise in ingenuity on the part of the director.Read More »

Chris Leavens’ documentary takes as its subject Jack Nance, star of “Eraserhead” and supporting player in many of David Lynch’s other films. Nance’s story is told almost entirely through interviews with his family, friends and colleagues, interspersed with clips from many of his films (some of which are more well-known than others). What emerges is a portrait of a complicated man whose self-destructive tendencies sometimes outweighed his creative gifts. It’s also frequently funny, as the interview subjects recount some of the more outlandish (but still plausible) stories of his life, right up to the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death.Read More »

“Caught between two genders, the artist Eli Leven and Ester Martin Bergsmark touch and caress each other, while they bath together in clouds of steam. A persuasive voice-off describes the often hard and painful growing process, which led them to choose to be neither males nor females. But something else entirely. While memories of adolescences scarred by homophobia and discrimination are presented, the audience is also captivated by poetic evocations of bodies, of snowy woods, water, nature, and snails: the symbol of androgyny.”Read More »

Dean is portrayed here as a hard worker and wild man, yet a sensitive lost soul whose own turbulent life mirrored the roles he took on his short, but greatly influential career. Dean is played by James Franco under the direction of Hollywood veteran Mark Rydell, a friend of Dean during his life.
