Ed Pincus & Steven Ascher – Life and Other Anxieties (1978)
In 1975, I was invited to “make any film I wanted as long as it was shot in Minneapolis.” David Hancock, a filmmaker friend in Vermont, who coincidentally grew up in Minneapolis, had just asked me to film him. He had been recently diagnosed with terminal cancer in his early thirties and wanted me to document the craziness of his dying days, as he was buffeted from chemotherapy to New Age cures recommended by friends. I didn’t have the stomach to follow much of David’s last days. Meanwhile, Steve Ascher and I teamed up to go to Minneapolis. We wanted to ask strangers what in their lives they would like to have filmed. For me, it was almost like an act of expiation. -Ed Pincus

I cannot thank you enough for locating and uploading this.
You’re a hero to the cinema!
Thank you!!!!!
what is the difference between these two versions/links? Is it only size?
Thank you!
YES, paradoxically.
They are from the same source and have the same image and audio quality. The nominal 1080p of the second is not a real 1080p. Viewed full screen, I can’t tell them apart.
Also, the second has about a minute of color chart at the beginning.
