Sundance Documentary Collection: The Staircase

1 recommendation

"An eight part documentary that follows the murder trial of author Michael Petersen. Every time you think your mind is made up as to whether or not he's guilty, the story takes another turn. The wife and I were pasuing this thing every five minutes to debate the latest dropped bombshell. You won't sleep until you watch at least four of these in a single sitting. You don't have to buy it but at leas..."

Jandek on Corwood - A Documentary Film

1 recommendation

"Jandek is a true fringe artist on the musical scene. This great documentary tries to figure out who Jandek is, as at the time the film was made, he had only given two interviews which were already years old, and had never played any live gigs (he has since done many, but no one still know much of anything about the guy). The man has put out a ton of self-released albums on the Corwood Industries..."

Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton Documentary by Loic Prigent, DVD

"This is an intimate look into the [work] life of creative genius Marc Jacobs. Juggling both Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton, the brilliant designer is the ultimate idea man, brainstorming and executing revolutionary campaigns simultaneously for each powerhouse. A very French documentary, Americans who aren't truly interested in fashion may grow tired of the fly-on-the-wall style, but for those who c..."

Amazon: The Bathers (Center for Documentary Studies/Honickman First Book Prize in) by Jennette Williams

1 recommendation

"There are the ladies who lunch . . . and then there are the ladies that lounge. In settings reminiscent of Roman baths, the beauties inhabiting these pages define the concept of "chill". This splendid black and white documentary of fashion and leisure is sitting pretty atop my summer reading/browsing list."

BANANAS!* Documentary

1 recommendation

"Swedish documentary about the global politics of food--more specifically on the legal battle against Dole using pesticides that cause sterility. I was initially attracted to the poster design by Adam Eeuwens and Rebeca Mendez but became more interested once I read what it was about. A must see! Interestingly enough, Dole Foods tried sueing the Los Angeles Film Festival for showing the documentary ..."

Devil's Playground ~ Amish Rumspringa Documentary

1 recommendation

"Okay, so the This American Life I'm listening to right now is blowing my mind. Particularly this story about the 2004 Documentary Devil's Playground. It's apparently about where when Amish kids turn 16, they're set free to indulge in a lifestyle of whatever bad things they want to get into and then decide for themselves if they want to return back to being Amish."

Baraka

6 recommendations

"Baraka is one of my all-time favorite movies ever. Shot in 70mm and filmed in 24 countries, it is a logistical and cinematic marvel. The film-makers pioneered several new technologies and techniques in order to capture various time-lapsed and motion-controlled sequences, such as the wheeling starscapes above various beautiful ancient ruins and natural wonders. But beyond the techniques, Ba..."

Koyaanisqatsi / Powaqqatsi

2 recommendations

"These two art films span the 1970s and 1980s, using only music (by minimalist composer Philip Glass) and the artful manipulation of documentary style video (no dialogue). The first film, Koyaanisqatsi, presents life in industrialized countries as a life "out of balance" - overly dependent on technology, mass consumption and mass production, inhuman, unnatural, etc. Powaqqatsi, the second film, tur..."
