Guy Maddin: Waiting for Twilight
Canada/1997/Colour/60mins/ 16mm/NFVLS Dir: Noam Gonick.
This documentary about Canadian film-maker Guy Maddin offers a penetrating account of an obsessive cinephile struggling in isolation to make movies. The film is narrated by passionate Maddin devotee, Tom Waits (joining a fanclub that also includes Martin Scorsese), and features a real-life cast as outlandish as that of one of Maddin's own films.SCREENS WITH...
Document of the Dead
USA/1978/60mins/16mm/NFVLS Dir: Roy Frumkes.
An in-depth look at the production and distribution of the 1976 George Romero horror classic Dawn of the Dead. This doco was made as a film school project led by director Frumkes. His intimate access to the production is reflected in the excellent behind the scenes footage and in-depth interviews. There are wonderful interviews with Romero and make-up man/stuntman/actor Tom Savini, as well as John Amplas, Steve Bissette and Gahan Wilson.
