I never thought watching movies and talking to people could be so exhausting. Maybe it's not that so much as watching movies until 2:30 in the morning, THEN going back to the hotel to edit and upload podcasts until 5:00 am. But this is really fun. Here are a few of the interviews I've done so far here at the Denver Film Festival:
An interview with Judy Irola, director of Cine Manifest. The film chronicles her time as the only woman in a socialist filmmaking collective based in San Fransisco in the mid 70s. Great stuff, reminded me of a lot of the discussions happening around G-RAD about collaborative art, politics, and community.
Director AJ Schnack and journalist Michael Azerrad talk about Kurt Cobain About A Son. This film uses selections from interviews Azerrad did with Cobain in 92 and 93. The visuals are very calm and still, focusing on the cities Cobain lived in. There's no concert footage, and you don't see an image of Kurt's face until the very end. I'd call it an anti-rockumentary.
