More than just stars — 2 years ago
You might, perhaps, see someone on the street whose name graces more than a few magazine covers every month. Or you might see a movie that changes your life, which is what happened to me. If you are ever fortunate enough to see ‘All the Invisible Children,’ let me definitely say you will never think about exploitation of children the same way; nor, perhaps war, journalism, or even Spike Lee.
I also saw ‘Drawing Restraint 9’ here last year, which was bizarre and visceral and difficult and compelling, and the director, New York artist Matthew Barney, actually came out to talk about it beforehand. At ‘Manderlay,’ Lars Von Trier’s last movie, we got to see the lead actress come out up front, and… hmm, I saw one more for sure but I can’t remember which. Spectacular festival, though. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
