DOCUMENTARY FEATURES
“Singer songwriter Jeff Buckley is remembered in hues of gray and sepia in this biography
charting his rise from obscurity to his untimely death. “Grace,” he said, “is what matters—in anything. It keeps you from reaching for the gun too quickly.” This is an intimate
portrait of a true artist and avid journal keeper who translated his experiences into
music.”
(Barbara Pokras)

In Europe, they speak of him in holy
whispers. In America, he’s a mysterious
footnote. He was poised for huge commercial success, but Jeff Buckley’s untimely death
kept him on the periphery of popular music.
Amazing Grace: Jeff Buckley, a passionately
crafted documentary, sets out to investigate
the extraordinary phenomenon of Jeff
Buckley, a musician of relatively modest com-
mercial success, with only one full-length
album, who has become a veritable tour de
force of inspiration for artists across the
globe.
Interviews include all four of the Jeff
Buckley Band members, friends, family, colleagues, critics, DJs, producers, and fans.
From Sydney, New York, and London to
Memphis, Montpelier, and Los Angeles, the
film takes viewers on an expansive yet
incredibly intimate trip through the world of
Jeff Buckley, and explores how he continues to
inspire his fans–from classical composers to
rock ‘n roll superstars and everyone in
between.

“Six decades ago Margot Friedlander fled her native Berlin as the city succumbed to Nazi
control. She narrowly escaped with her life; the rest of her family was not so fortunate.
A lifetime later she returns to find a homeland she no longer recognizes, confronting bitter memories and educating German youth about hardships they can barely comprehend. A moving and unsentimental tale of one woman’s indomitable will to survive.
(Jeff Economy)
DON’T CALL IT
HEIMWEH...
The Greeks call it nostalgia–in German
Heimweh. At the age of eighty-two, Margot
Friedlander begins a journey to resolve a life
long search for home and identity. Surviving
Nazi Germany hidden by Germans while her
family was murdered in Auschwitz has left her
with truly conflicted feelings.

DOCUMENTARY FEATURES
“Stunning cinematography blends sports and spirituality in this documentary about a
Tibetan refugee soccer team in India training for their first international event. Brisk editing deftly blends slow and fast motion and perfectly reveals this duality. A heartfelt exploration of themes of freedom and nationhood; a cameo by the Dalai Lama is an added
treat.”

There’s a revolution going on in the farm
fields and on the dinner tables of
America–a revolution that originated behind
the closed doors of corporate boardrooms and
government agencies over the use of genetically modified organisms in our food. The Future
of Food offers an in-depth investigation into
the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled
G.M.O products that have quietly filled grocery store shelves over the past decade.
From the test tube, to the farm field, to
the supermarket, the film follows the personal stories of the farmers in the United States

The Forbidden Team is the story of a
national football team without a nation.
It is a humorous documentary about a cultural clash, dreams coming true, and football–as
Buddha would have played it!
The Forbidden Team follows the Tibetan
National Soccer Team as they get ready for the
first major game of their career. Invited to play
against Greenland in Denmark, the Tibetan
team enlists the services of a Danish coach
who struggles against the odds to get the
team ready. They are described as “looking
like the Flanders battlefield in World War
One,” their training takes place in pea-soup
fog, and their field is actually part of a thoroughfare used by people and animals during
and Canada who have been sued
by large multinational corporations
for continuing the time-honored tradition of
saving seeds, and the scientists in the United
States and Europe who have been censored
for raising serious public and environmental
health concerns. Finally, consumers are
beginning to question why this has escaped
the attention of both the media and the federal agencies in charge of keeping our food
safe.
The Future of Food unravels the complex
web of market and political forces that are
changing the nature of what we eat.
Deborah Koons Garcia fell in love
BIO with filmmaking when she first
picked up a Bolex. Her educational series All
About Babies, narrated by Jane Alexander, won
a Cine Golden Eagle and a Gold Medal from
the John Muir Medical Film Festival, among
other awards. Deborah´s feature film Poco
Loco “finds its groove in gentle romantic fan-
both practices and games. And dealing with
the Indian government on visa matters is a
whole other story!
What transpires is a beautiful film that
paints an enormously touching portrait of a
team for whom there is much more at stake
than merely winning the game.
Rasmus Dinesen has produced
and/or directed the short films
Traffic Safety, The Duel, Summertime, and
United Colors of Football.
Arnold Krøigaard directed the TV documentary Frederik to All Times and served as
both the director and scriptwriter on the documentary AIDS is Easy to Cure.

With Guerrilla, filmmaker
Robert Stone brings into sharp
focus the mood of the early
1970s, a mood that inspired the
formation of the first radical domestic terrorist cell to become a media
sensation in the United States, the
Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA). The SLA
wreaked havoc on the West Coast and our
national psyche for over two years, leaving
behind a rich trove of paranoid recordings
and scores of violent acts, including the kidnapping of heiress Patty Hearst, who would

subsequently join the SLA under the alias
“Tania.” As much a thriller as it is a document of the times, Guerrilla brings a striking,
shocking moment in the nation’s history
back to light.
Robert Stone was born in
England in 1958 and
spent his childhood in both
England and America. He graduated with a degree in history from
the University of Wisconsin/
Madison in 1980. Eventually settling in
New York City, he began making a film
about nuclear weapons testing in the Pacific.
The result was the acclaimed Radio Bikini
(1987), nominated for an Oscar for best feature documentary. This was followed by the
feature documentaries The Satellite Sky
(1989), about the U.S. reaction to Sputnik;
and Farewell Good Brothers (1992), about
1950 flying saucer cults. All three films are
being rereleased in Hi-Def by IFC. Robert
created a twenty-two-part permanent film
and video installation for the JFK Library in
Boston. He also served as a director of photography and associate producer on several
documentaries, including the cult classic
Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey (1994
Sundance Award winner). His only fictional
film is World War Three (1998), a controversial fake “historical documentary” for
ZDF German Television. In recent years he
has shot and directed several verité films
including the feature documentary
American Babylon (2000), about Atlantic
City. He lives in Rhinebeck, NY, with his
wife and two sons.

“Robert Stone’s brilliant chronology of the SLA uses disembodied voices,
first hand accounts and extensive archival footage to create a portrait of
young people responding to the horrors of war and social inequality.
With images of Robin Hood and the saga of Patty Hearst at its core,
were these SLA ‘soldiers’ revolutionaries, terrorists, or true patriots?”

In the Realms of the Unreal explores outsider art from the inside. Eschewing
expert opinion, it reflects the uniqueness of
its subject, employing vivid animation and
experimental elements to immerse us in
Henry Darger’s world and all its strange beauty. Brought to life on film, the works reverberate with universal themes: the search for
meaning, control, connection, moral direction. Through Darger’s eyes, the film reveals
this odd man to be Everyman. He lived a virtually friendless existence, but his imaginary
life was as exciting and colorful as his real life
was tedious. By day, he scrubbed floors,
attended Mass, rummaged through garbage
cans. By night, he ruled a world in which the
forces of innocence and good fought a bloody
52
battle against the forces of treachery and evil.
By juxtaposing Henry Darger’s parallel but
opposite universes, the film shows how he
forged magic out of the bleakest of lives, leaving a legacy that has inspired other artists
around the world.

Ann Krsul and Leslie Sullivan want to be
mothers together. Ann will carry the baby
and Leslie will leave her job to stay at home
and raise their child. Choosing the route of
the anonymous sperm bank, they hope to
match Leslie’s physical characteristics so that
Ann can give birth to a baby with the potential to look like them both. Ann is a worrier,
compulsively analyzing and judging their performance at each stage of the process. Leslie is
soothing, a quiet counterpoint. Together they
ride the menstrual roller coaster, until finally,
one year later, Ann is pregnant. At first, both
women continue to work. Free time is consumed by pre-birth activity: baby shower registration, Lamaze class, and design of the baby
announcement. Between events, they argue
with relatives over how to explain two mommies to their nieces and nephews. Month
eight, Leslie ends her job to prepare for full-
time mommyhood. Ann continues to work all
hours, holding her now-huge tummy as she
shuffles from job site to job site, fretting over
everything. But Baby Grace is born on time,
with bright red hair (a trait known to neither
family). Gund follows the Krsul-Sullivan
household during Grace’s first year. As Ann

meeting challenges universal to all families

Looks like an alien, sings like a
diva–Klaus Nomi was one of the 1980s
most profoundly bizarre characters: a countertenor who sang pop music like opera and
brought opera to club audiences and made
them like it. A story of fame, death, friendship, betrayal, performance, and the greatest
New Wave rock star that never was!
Andrew Horn’s writing and directBIO ing work has encompassed a wide

“Verite footage is the backbone of this harrowing journey of four Mexicans driven to endure
hunger, thirst and danger to better the lives of their families. Night footage of the border crossing is especially haunting. Interspersed with interviews, some flashbacks and a skillfully executed photo montage this is video journalism of the highest order.”
(Barbara Pokras)
Director Tommy Davis goes along with
four men from a small village in Mexico
as they leave their families, embark on a 120mile trek across the deserts of Texas, and
attempt to evade the U.S. Border Patrol, overcome dehydration and hypothermia, and
come face-to-face with death.
Tommy Davis (writer, producer,
director) was born in McAllen,
Texas, in 1978. He studied at the George
Washington University and interned during
his summers for Artisan Pictures, Jersey
Films, and Miramax Films. He has written
and directed several short fiction films.
Mojados: Through the Night is his first documentary.
“Even in New York’s new wave scene where
shock and outrage was the norm, Klaus Nomi
was a true pop music anomaly, a unforgettably
striking performer with androgynous extraterrestrial looks and an operatic falsetto to
match. Nomi was like an apparition that
seemingly could have appeared at no other
time, yet seemed to exist outside of time; he
hobnobbed and collaborated with figures like
David Bowie and incredibly, brushed up
against mainstream success before his life was
tragically cut short as one of the first victims of
AIDS. Music, reminiscences, and neverbefore-seen archival footage fill this loving
tribute.”

OFF TO WAR
WORLD PREMIERE
Directed by Brent and Craig Renaud
USA / 2004 / 75 minutes
Is America ready for war? Follow the
Arkansas National Guard as weekend warriors are activated, trained, and finally
deployed to Iraq. Observe what happens to
their businesses, churches, schools, and families. This is the new millennium’s real Band
of Brothers. This is history’s only film that
documents a war and a group of soldiers from
start to finish.
Parallel Lines is an American road trip
movie with a twist. The journey takes place
in the fall of 2001, as filmmaker Nina
Davenport drives from California back home
to New York, where her apartment once overlooked the World Trade Center. The events of
September 11th quickly recede into the background of this documentary, becoming
instead a portal into the inner lives of
Americans. The filmmaker stops along the
road to talk with strangers who end up sharing their personal stories of loss with astonishing candor: A woman tells of losing custody of her children; a veteran describes his
battle with post traumatic stress disorder; a
cowboy reveals that his mother murdered his
father. Touching on a wide range of subjects
from the meaning of love to the horror of the
atomic bomb, a film that begins as the story
of one New Yorker’s journey home in the
aftermath of tragedy becomes a portrait of
American identity and history.
Brent and Craig Renaud
BIO are brothers and filmmakers who were born and raised in
Little Rock, Ark.
Since 1995, they have been
working with celebrated documentary filmmaker Jon Alpert on award-winning projects
in places like Afghanistan, Cambodia, Bolivia,
China, Pakistan and Iraq.
In addition to the Off to War series for
the Discovery Times Channel, the Renaud
brothers are finishing their first film for HBO
called Dope Sick Love and due out this fall.
“New Yorker Nina Davenport was in San
Diego at the time of the September 11
terrorist attacks. A few weeks afterwards
she took a six-week-long road trip back
to her home town, with only her video
camera and random meetings with
friendly strangers for companionship.
She documented their simple transient
intimacies along with her own thoughtful ruminations; the result is this warm
and humane essay-style documentary
that engages the viewer in the kind of
dialogue possible in the days after the
tragedy, a poignant memento of a fleeting vulnerable communal moment that
already seems relegated to memory.”
(Jeff Economy)
Parallel Lines is Nina Davenport’s
third film. Her first film, Hello Photo,
completed in 1995 and funded by Harvard
University’s Film Study Center, depicts her

Meet the choir of screaming men that travels
from Finland to Tokyo with the goal of getting
good photographs of their Japanese audience
while performing the Japanese national
56
anthem. Meet the choir that screams the
French national anthem at the museum of
modern art in Paris even though the museum
and the embassy of Finland try to prevent
them…
Screaming Men is a film about power,
nationalism, intransigence, and firm belief in
your own art. The creative process of conductor Sirviö often leads to conflicts between the
choir and the outside world - sometimes also
within the choir. The film follows the choir
both in Finland and on international concert
trips (France, Japan, and Iceland) during a
time span of five years. Similarly to the choir,
the documentary walks the thin line between
the dead serious and the absurd.
Mika Ronkainen is the most productive documentary filmmaker in the
northern half of Finland. Screaming Men is his
theatrical distribution debut. His previous
work includes the prize-winning and
acclaimed documentaries Before the Flood,
Father’s Day, Oulu Burning, and Car Bonus.
Ronkainen has predominantly depicted social
themes. The cultural board of the city Oulu
rewarded Ronkainen with the Oulu City
Culture Award of 2002 and the Art
Committee of the Oulu Province named
Ronkainen the young artist of 1998.

The Onteora School District includes
Woodstock,plus 350 square miles of rural
New York. In January 2000, the Onteora
Indian was removed after fifty years as the

the best show in town, and Tobe Carey, and
his wife were right in the middle of it all.

SOLDIERS PAY
“I thought I could perhaps make a difference before the election, let people see
the situation, how Iraqis wanted to get rid of
Saddam, but also show what war does to people.” These are the words, spoken by director
David O. Russell, and quoted in an August
16th article in the New York Times, that
prompted Warner Brothers to drop Soldiers
Pay unceremoniously from it’s roster. The
film, which was graciously given back to the
filmmakers to distribute on their own, is a
meditation on the current war in Iraq. David
O. Russell, together with co-filmmakers Tricia
Regan and Juan Carlos Zaldivar, interviewed
dozens of people over a six week period, and
created a chorus of voices -- including veterans of the war, Iraqis who rose up against
Saddam after the last war and escaped to the
US, journalists, politicians, psychologists,
and even a two star general who led the
Marines to victory in the first Gulf War.

For the Garo people of Sadolpara, growing rice is a way of life and worship. As
the world changes around them and they
come face-to -face with market economies,
they find this is no longer enough.
This intimate portrait of a community
presents us with a story of life and humanity
that is common to us all.
By following one agricultural cycle of
growing rice in the Himalayan foothills, this
film allows us a glimpse into a society at the
edge of change and allows us to critically
examine the nature of “development.”

“Beautifully produced, shot
and edited, this study of
the Garo families in
Saldolpara,
Northern
India features extraordinarily intimate footage of
a people who are the
guardians of ancient
strains of rice. Two elderly

commentary on changing
ways, and the legend of the
Sungod is woven throughout. A

TROLLYWOOD
“The meaning of the shopping cart, or “trolly” becomes a central theme in this
refreshingly clever and straightforward exploration of the many facets of homelessness in Los Angeles. Well crafted and skillfully blending humor and pathos,
this often invisible population is revealed in all its’ diversity and individuality. A
rich mosaic of music adds to the mix.”
(Barbara Pokras)
Seizing on the humble shopping cart as
a metaphor for the dispossessed, firsttime director Madeleine Farley goes behind
the scenes to explore life on the streets with
some of Los Angeles’s homeless. Trollywood
presents a moving portrait, as she gives
homelessness a human face, and shows that
where there is great material depravation
there is solidarity and hope.
Madeleine Farley is a London-based
photographer and filmmaker.
In December 2001 she arrived in Los
Angeles for the opening of her traveling exhibition Movie Tips. By this point Madeleine
had added a short animated film to the show:
a pastiche of Psycho starring Q-Tips.

WITCHES IN EXILE
“Incredible as it may sound in 2004, there are places where the term “witch hunt” is not an
archaic metaphor, but a brutal reality. In contemporary Ghana, superstitions act as a kind of
social control where misogyny is a way of life, and the mere fact of being a woman is enough
to condemn you to death. Through interviews with some of the thousands of “Witches Homes”
internment camp residents, clips from popular witch-hunting films like “End of the Wicked,”
and footage from actual witch-testing and -curing ceremonies, Witches In Exile uncovers a dis
turbing slice of feudal superstition still alive today.”

A gripping story of women in Ghana
accused of witchcraft and exiled to “safe

Andrea, Paul and Ms.
Morgan are all smart
enough to know what
they want to do with
their lives, but not talented enough to
achieve it. Paul is a med school student
who’s too sensitive to give sick people bad
news. Ms. Morgan
is a poet who settles for a job as an

And Andrea is a figure skater capable
of triple axels but
saddled with a serious case of performance anxiety. Both women fall in love
with Paul; one wins and the other becomes

an embittered professor confronts him, he

Jihad follows two terrorists on the morning of

OCTOGENARIO
A short film by David
Licata
USA / 2003 / 7 minutes
Tango Octogenario is a
short narrative film
about an elderly couple
(Alex and Jean Turney)
and their unique way of
reconnecting. From its
use of non actors to its old-Hollywood lighting, from its opening shot on New York City’s
Lower East Side to its primary setting inside
a ghostly ballroom, Tango Octogenario tells its
story in a manner that treads the line
between grim reality and fairy tale.
This stylization suits the exploration of the
film’s themes: the hidden lives of marginalized
people, the elderly as vital contributors to society, the curative powers of art, and the power of
art to forge bonds. Its most salient characteristic, the portrayal of seniors as active, vibrant,
and independent, is a much-needed antidote
to the stereotypical representations of
America’s graying population.
VICTIM
A short film by Corrie Jones
USA / 2004 / 11:30 minutes
Based on a spoken poem written by Nicole
Blackman, Victim is the dark and disturbing
story of a young woman’s physical and emotional struggle for escape after she awakens to
find herself in the damp, suffocating blackness of a car trunk. Unaware of where she is,
or even how long she has been there, she
struggles to free herself from her disturbing
reality, and in so doing takes herself and us
on an intoxicating and emotionally moving
journey of escape and peace.

THE CRITICAL PATH: R.
BUCKMINSTER FULLER
The Cowbell in the Tree is a portrait of Jim
Morton, the eighty-nine-year-old caretaker of
the Platte Clove Preserve, a nature conservancy just a few miles from Woodstock. An
unusual American in that he has lived his
entire life in the same valley in which he was
born, Morton is a charming, witty, and philosophical man. On a beautiful autumn day,
Morton relates stories of family history, tells
local lore of Platte Clove, and chats with
Susan Mayr, a painter participating in the
Artists Residency Program run by the Catskill
Center for Conservation and Development.
Morton talks of his great-grandmother, who
was a Native American plant healer from
Tannersville; about the origins of the name of
Codfish Point; and about the strangest incident that ever occurred in his long life.
The Critical Path: R. Buckminster Fuller, is the
third in a series of short documentary/diary
films entitled They Were the Future. The first
two films in the series were Absence Stronger
than Presence: Edwin Land and 2+2: John
Forbes Nash, Jr..
Life for a genius or innovator carries
with it a huge responsibility. Faced with personal tragedy early in his life, R. Buckminster
Fuller came within moments of committing
suicide in the Michigan River. Instead he
decided to come back and devoted the rest
of his life to peaceful coexistence while creating low-cost and accessible shelter and considering new ways to feed mankind.

USA / 2003 / 17 minutes
Shot in Charleston, South Carolina, Scattered
Smothered Covered explores Waffle House, a
Southern institution. Combining fly-on-thewall observation with interviews of employees, regulars, and passersby, this short
documentary shows the kitschy decor, greasy
food, and unique mix of people that make
Waffle House both an example of and a challenge to the stereotyped notions of the
South, where race is always but never an
issue and people’s candor starts to seep
through the polite veneer.
This film was made in the summer of 2002
when my wife, Mary Ellen Mark, was completing the photography for her new book on
twins. Mary Ellen’s studio was a tent, pitched
on a volleyball court, at the Twins Days
Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio. When Mary
Ellen had finished photographing a set of
twins we’d take them behind the backdrop to
a small studio, where we had positioned two
cameras and a sound recorder, and there we
asked each set of twins twenty questions.
This film is constructed from their answers.

In 1989 he formed the Flecktones, and
the following year they released a self-titled
album. The music was dubbed “blu-bop” – a

Fruitful collaborations are the cornerstone of Meyer’s work. The most recent
example was the organization of a quartet
completed by violinist Joshua Bell and legendary bluegrass musicians Sam Bush and
Mike Marshall. Shortly before this collaboration, Meyer was involved in an inventive trio
project with Béla Fleck on banjo and
Mike Marshall on mandolin, performing original compositions marrying
bluegrass, classical, and other traditional styles. Earlier in Meyer’s career, from
1986 to 1992, he was a member of the
progressive bluegrass band Strength in

Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Béla Fleck,

Meyer began studying bass at the
age of five under the instruction of his
father, and went on to study with Stuart

Citysearch says Mark is “part unself-righteous Elliot
Smith, part multi-faceted Van Morrison” and that he
“touches the heart the way David Gray wishes he could.”
Time Out Magazine calls him “an engaging
singer/songwriter…(who) writes delicate songs about
love and defiance… recalls performers such as Richard
Thompson and John Lennon.”
Duo Loco, Jazz Maniacs;
Mark Dziuba & Studio Stu
This eccentric jazz duo takes the very best
in classic jazz and originals, and twists and
bends them into what they call ‘evocative
jazz, exotic lounge’. In this ‘duo virtuosi’,
nothing is sacred… improv is rampant… lyrics
are changed at will… notes and chords are
bent and perverted… familiar languages are
obliterated… harmonies are sweet and sour
perfection… tunes are put through a fun
house mirror, and yet, serious, sophisticated
and uncompromising in execution. The union
is one in-tune, out-of-tune, offbeat outfit.
Mark Dziuba, guitar wizard and director
of jazz studies at SUNY New Paltz, moves
with grace through impossible chord changes
and rapid fire riffs on his 1961 stratocaster,
transforming these classic tunes into something more… a sort of ‘light shift’ in tone and
nuance, going beyond the music’s original
intent. And, as a composer, he brings a fresh,
complex virtuosity to a seemingly inexhaustible genre.
Studio Stu, with his state-of-the-art
washtub bass, unique Brooklyn humor, and
unusual, hypnotic vocals, is a master...a one
string wonder, combining a traditional folk
instrument and a classic music form, to create
a third thing (one we haven’t quite figured
out what to call yet)… fearless in delivery and
willing to navigate uncharted paths through
the improvisational wilderness; he is ‘el ultimo hombre del lounge.’

Laurel Masse
Laurel Massé, founding member of
Grammy award-winning vocal group
Manhattan Transfer, toured internationally
for seven years with the group and recorded
five albums. In 1979, a serious automobile
accident forced her departure. After two years
of convalescence, she began touring again
both in the States and in Europe. She has
released four solo CDs. The first two, Alone
Together and Easy Living, both hit the
Billboard Jazz charts; the third, Again, was a
People magazine pick. Feather and Bone, her
2000 release, was picked by audiophile magazine The Absolute Sound as “a recording of
extraordinary musical and sonic value.”
Equally at ease singing with a trio or
with an orchestra, equally spellbinding
singing an impassioned ballad, a unaccompanied Bach cello suite, or a swinging vocal
improv, Ms. Massé is a singer of rare intuition
and taste. Possessor of what some critics have
called “the perfect voice,” she is one of the
premiere jazz and cabaret artists of her
generation.

Origins of Film Story —
Part II
Reviving last year’s successful and popular
panel, industry professionals and independent
mavericks will discuss
the impetus and inspiration for their screenplays. Where do film
ideas come from? What makes a story right for
film? Do low-budget, independent films better
serve certain stories? What is the obligation of the
writer/filmmaker in troubled times? Should our
stories be overtly political
and socially conscious —
or is “entertainment”
enough? How does one
transform a “good idea”
into the beginnings of a
screenplay?

Film and the Political
Equation – Why Now?
In the past year, documentaries have looked
inside the decision to invade Iraq and at corporate control of everything from food to
media, and audiences have piled in. Earlier
documentaries preached to the choir,
because the choir was the only audience they
reached. But with dogged investigation and
satire, these new films seem to have tapped
into a new public, or at least broadened the
documentary audience beyond anyone’s
expectations. And John Sayles’s Silver City
shows that politics on the screen isn’t limited to documentaries. Is this just an election
year phenomenon? Are the films filling a gap
where serious journalism used to be? Or are
they just good films? Will it matter in
November?

Down to the Bone
New York Women In Film and TV presents a case history study of Debra
Granik’s Down to the Bone, a digital film shot entirely in Woodstock and surrounding Ulster County
areas. The story entails a young mother’s hidden
cocaine habit, her quest to come clean and create
a better life for herself and family. This feature is a
rare hybrid of reality and fiction. It developed from
Granik’s Sundance Award winning short, Snake
Feed, which starred the real life person the story is
based on . Down to the Bone uses professional
actors in the leading roles and non-professionals
in the supporting roles. The film debuted at
Sundance 2004. Debra Granik won the Dramatic
Directing Award and Vera Farmiga, lead actress,
won Special Jury Prize.

Confession.

an Academy Award for Philadelphia, and
author of the Peabody Award-winning cable

from an awkward, sometimes violent childhood among tobacco-chewing, deer-hunting,
coal-mining relatives in Pennsylvania to his
misadventures in Hollywood, sparring with
studio executives and egomaniacal stars, slipping into drug addiction, and falling in love
with the wrong people. Along the way,
Nyswaner has turned to writing for salvation,
creating plays, screenplays, and recently, a
book–Blue Days, Black Nights: A Memoir.
